WHY YES, I'D LOVE A FREE ARC. THANK YOU


Robison Wells is holding a contest. He’s giving away an ARC of his new book, Feedback, sequel to Variant. He is also giving away ARCs of Mind Games by Kiersten White and Taken by Erin Bowman. If I blog about why I am most deserving of one of these ARCs, it increases my chances of winning. So I think I will.

But . . . if I blog about the contest it also spreads the word which means more people are likely to enter, which actually decreases my chances. You have set up a cruel game, Robison. And I’m playing right into your clutches.

Reasons I am most deserving on an ARC:

1. In all honesty, Variant is one of my two favorite books I’ve read this year (Beyonders 2: Seeds of Rebellion being the other). There were many others that I’ve really enjoyed, but I haven’t been as into a book in a while. Loved the premise. Loved the surprises. Seriously good stuff. (I even already blogged about it.) I would LOVE to find out what happens next. 

2. My middle name is actually “Feedback.” I know it is a little unusual, but my parents were hippies who really believed in hearing what others thought . . . or they thought my crying was like that sound that happens when a microphone gets too close to an amplifier.

3. I play a lot of Mind Games. Really tough cranial-bending stuff, like Angry Birds, figure out which way is up before opening a package, and find my children in a store. I also like non-mind games, like sleeping.

4. It has Taken me long enough to try to think of something for Taken and its tickin’ me off. I’ve got nothing. You can write what I should have said in the comments below. Robison, please give me a book anyway.

Thank you very much,

Chad Feedback Morris.

  1. I know one for taken.

    Reading has 'taken' you on many adventures, and of course you want to get taken once more with these three books!

    Good luck!

  5. Hi,
    I just wanted to say I found your blog through "Falling For Fiction"...I love that you say you are writing a middle grade fairy tale retelling. That is so fun.
    I'm only just rediscovered my writing bug and am feeling like a fish out of water. Very very new. But I hope to grow in this somehow! Might get a blog one day, but feel too new (and intimidated) at this point.
    I'm interested in MG very much at this stage. Wish the day job would stop sucking away my soul in the meantime. :)
    Anyway, great blog, I'm a reader from now on. Perhaps one day I'll be lucky enough to have you as a beta reader or crit partner. Just your current WIP has me enthused...love that stuff (and yes I'm in my 30's, clearly mature :)

    2. Oh my gosh, you are so nice! I will definitely email you soon - I've been having some email problems though, so when that's sorted out, I definitely will.

      I love the idea of MG mixed with fairy tales. So fun! I recently came across another author's site (soon to be published) and her book is RUMP: http://www.writerropes.blogspot.ca/

      I love those kinds of ideas.

      You are so nice :)
