| Win a pre-order of this book! |
Since I just finished an Advanced Reader Copy of Gennifer Albin's debut novel Crewel, and it was EXCELLENT, I decided that I would give her book as the prize. She had a ton of agents fighting over her and enough houses wanted her book that it went to auction. Yeah, this book is HOT. What's it about, you ask. Here's the blurb from Good Reads:
Incapable. Awkward. Artless.
That’s what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail.
Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she’s exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn’t interested.
Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and they’re coming for her—tonight.
Now she has one hour to eat her mom’s overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister’s academy gossip and laugh at her Dad’s stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything’s okay. And one hour to escape.
Because once you become a Spinster, there’s no turning back.
The book isn't released until October 16, 2012 so I have to pre-order it for the winner. I know, it's a long wait, but IT'S WORTH IT. That's how excited I am about this book. So enter lots. Now. (If you really want a taste of this novel now, go to Gen's author facebook page and read hit the "Welcome" icon where you can get a sneak peak at the prologue of Crewel.)
UPDATE: To sweeten the deal I have changed one of the prizes to a $15 GC to Barnes and Noble. I wouldn't want the people who've already read Crewel to be left out.
I will announce the winners next Thursday, April 26, 2012.

I'd love to read Crewel.
I just heard about this book from a friend yesterday, weird coincidence!
Me, me! :-)
Ah Rafflecopter. That's what I wanted a while ago. Will look it up. The book sounds excellent, although your exited review was more convincing!
Oooh. Pretty cover. :D I prefer entering contests that use Rafflecopter. As you said, it's much more organized and I like the look of the little widget.
I am dying to read this. I interviewed Gennifer Albin on my blog, and she was fantastic.
Aww I heart Gennifer and I cannot wait to read Crewel!
I've been dying to try Rafflcoptor - I just need something great to give away :) And Crewel sounds really good! (and a little close to an idea I've been working on, so I definitely need more info on this story!)
Sounds like an interesting book. Thanks for offering a copy as a giveaway.
Oooo, that sounds really good.
I'm SO looking forward to this book - sounds ah-mazing! Thanks for the giveaway!
