All right..so we have reached 200 FOLLOWERS!! It is so exciting! We love you all! Thank you so much for following us! And in celebration of that we are hosting another contest! The contest includes a few of my (Arielle) favorite books, either by Sarah Dessen or Laurie Halse Anderson. Sadly since I am not rolling in mountains of money, the winner will only get to choose 1 (one) book from below. But there are a lot of great books to choose from, so I think thats worth it! (at least I hope!) :)
From the pictures below, the winner can choose 1 book. They are all great books, and I recommend them to anyone and everyone! So lets begin!
The Books :)
Dreamland by Sarah Dessen
Lock & Key by Sarah Dessen
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen

+1 for answering this question: Who is your favorite author & why? Ack. ONE?! Ok, for classics, Elizabeth Gaskell. She is just an amazing writer with realistic plots and fantastic love stories. Juvenile? Avi. Wrede. Dahl. I could go on and on. Ok, Teen? I have no way I could possibly pick just one, but a couple that come to mind are Victoria Hanley (Her trilogy is wonderful), Laurie Halse Anderson for superb writing, ok, I'm going to stop now before I keep going. :)
Oh gees! This is an awesome contest, ladies.

+1 My favorite author that is such a tough question! I don't have just one. I probably have a handful of favorites and I like them all for different reasons. I absolutely love Ally Carter's books - they're just so fun and spunky. Libba Bray is another author I love. Terry Goodkind is another - the fact he can write an 11 part story at 500+ pages per book and still keep people interestd is DEFINATELY talent.

Ooh, Wintergirls...

My favorite author? That's tough. I love S.E. Hinton simply because I LOVE The Outsiders. I like Rebecca Stead because When You Reach Me Was amazing! Sharon Creech because she shows the everyday in a beautiful way. Scott Westerfeld is just a master story teller! so I can't give you one author I love beyond all others! Sorry!

+1 for my answer: Right now, it's got to Becca Fitzpatrick. I know she's been busy promoting Hush, Hush but she still finds the time to go online and chat with her fans on Twitter and on fallenarchangel.com. She's even complimented me on some banners I've made for her book. That is the coolest thing to me because I'm not used to have authors respind back to a Tweet, lol. Plus, she's a pretty darn good writer.

Most recently I've quite enjoyed Becca Fitzpatrick (Hush, Hush) for her amazing debut novel. Rich detail with fabulous cover art...a great story. In the past, I'd claim (and still would) a fan of Patricial Cornwell, (some) James Patterson, and (some) John Sanford.....crime fiction novelists with characters to remember.
