2 months ’til TAKEN!

16 February 2013

Gah! The days are starting to fly.

Just 2 measly months ’til TAKEN!

As we continue to near April 16th, TAKEN ARCs have been finding more and more readers. Some are friends, others are strangers, but all are awesome. It is still incredibly surreal for me to receive a tweet where someone mentions Gray, or a certain chapter, or the world of TAKEN in general. Each exchange makes me giddy as can be. And this is why we writers write: to share our stories with others.

If you haven’t yet read TAKEN, here’s another early chance! Unlike last month’s giveaway, this one is going to be US-only (sorry folks!).

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN WIN:

TAKEN ARC and swag

Pictured above: ARC of TAKEN (personalized and/or signed if you’d like!), bookplates, stickers, and bookmarks!

I’m also going to throw in a secret bonus ARC, but I’m not telling you what it is. (mwuahaha!) Here’s a hint: It comes out in April, is a sequel to a hot trilogy, and is also edited by TAKEN’s editor. (Vague, I know, but with a little research, I’m sure you’ll figure it out. And if you do, you can snag extra entries by submitting your answer in the rafflecopter widget below!)

Speaking of entries, I’ll be accepting them for a week only, so submit your info fast! If you don’t win, have no fear; I’ll host another ARC giveaway at the one-month marker (March 16th). There may even be a TAKEN pre-order contest in the near future, with other super awesome goodies up for grabs, so stay tuned!

    Oh, um…goodness! Technically I read these in 2012, but Unravel Me
    by Tahereh Mafi and Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi are definitely my favorites!

    I know I chose two…

    Thanks, Erin!

    <3,

  • Skye S

    My favorite 2013 read is probably Splintered by A.G. Howard – although I loved The Archived by Victoria Schwab as well!

    Can’t wait to read Taken. Thanks for the giveaway! :)

  • Kayte

    I got excited about reading your book after reading about it (and you) at PubCrawl. I have hand delivered the ISBN to the teen buyer at my library twice (you know, just in case she didn’t order it the first time! ).

    • Kayte

      Ha- I hit enter without answering the question… I have only read a few 2013 releases.I enjoyed Altered last month and am in the middle of the Madman’s Daughter right now (and I love it!)

  • Jae_Lee

    Ever After by Kim Harrison. I liked quite a bit, but it’s sort of the winner by default as I’ve only read 2 2013-releases and hated the other one.

  • http://bookblogbake.wordpress.com/ Stormy

    The only 2013 release I’ve read so far has been Level 2, which I enjoyed quite a bit, but I’m planning on reading Scarlet SOON!

  • Steph

    Ok…my rafflecopter is being weird. I answered the secret ARC question already, and said I follow on twitter…but only the tweet is showing up. I definitely answered them, but I don’t want to be disqualified, because I’ve been waiting for TAKEN forever. So, I won’t reenter those I know I already did, even though they don’t show up.

    Anyway, favorite 2013 release: Through the Ever Night. :) <3

  • Krispy

    Of the 3 2013 releases I’ve read so far, I think Through The Ever Night was my favorite. I’m pretty curious to see where the story goes from here, but we won’t know for another year! Ah!

  • http://www.thewordsonpaper.blogspot.com Tracey Neithercott

    Because you’re my friend and I naturally absorb some of your excitement (but, lucky me, not anxiety), I’m more psyched for your release day than I am for my birthday a few days later. And I can’t believe it’s only two months away! Woo hoo. :)

    Okay, so to answer your question: I think SCARLET (Cinder #2) has been my favorite 2013 read so far. I also really liked PRODIGY (Legend #2).

  • Ashley @ Ashley Loves Books

    Oh goodness…it’s hard to pick! I really, REALLY loved The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shepherd – definitely didn’t expect to, but it was PHENOMENAL. Pivot Point and The Archived are also high up there for me, they were each fantastic and original.

  • Michelle Morris

    So far, my favorite 2013 release has been Unravel Me!

  • http://twitter.com/Bibliogato Katie L

    So far? Oh man. I don’t know. I think probably PAPER VALENTINE by Brenna Yovanoff followed closely by THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT by Veronica Rossi followed closely by UNRAVEL ME by Tahereh Mafi followed by THE ARCHIVED by Victoria Schwab. There are been SO many good releases this year. It feels like last year and this year have really been banner years for YA. But if I had to pick just one, it’d be Paper Valentine (right now. It’s only February!)

  • http://twitter.com/Shelver506 Shelver506

    Oh gosh. I really enjoyed SPLINTERED by A.G. Howard and BRUISED by Sarah Skilton.

  • http://twitter.com/GwenCole_ Gwen Cole

    So far, I’d have to sat Through the Ever Night. Such a great sequel!!

  • suri

    I loved Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi! Can’t wait to read TAKEN!!

  • http://twitter.com/ReviewsbyBeth Reviews By Beth

    So far I would have to say Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi! Also loved my advanced arc of Dead Silence by Kimberly Derting!! it was AWESOME!

  • http://www.facebook.com/lisa.adeedess Lisa Adee Dess

    I haven’t read many new releases yet so I’d have to say Through The Ever Night

  • Sarah Vela

    I read an ARC for Lara Adrian’s Edge of Dawn. And it was amazing!

  • Kendra Johnson

    So far its a tie for my favorite 2013 releases. I loved Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi, but Splintered by A.G Howard was also amazing!

  • Jolene A

    I have yet to read any 2013 releases, but I am really excited to get my hands on Scarlet and Unravel Me!!!

  • Desiree

    There have been some good ones! My fave is Through the Ever Night, but it is closely followed by Prodigy. I don’t know if this counts since it’s not yet out but I got an ARC of Star Cursed and it is definitely tied in first place! I just have to tell you that Taken is one of my most anticipated 2013 books (and the rest are all sequels!) Can’t wait to read your book!

  • Jess

    One of my favorite 2013 releases so far has been Pivot Point. It’s such a simple, but completely unique concept.

    Can’t wait to read Taken, and thank you for the giveaway!! :D

  • Go Flash Go

    I just finished The Indigo Spell – my favorite so far.

  • http://twitter.com/STUDIOKD3 Katrina

    The Madman’s Daughter was my favorite!

  • http://twitter.com/tamara216 tamara216

    There have been so many good reads so far this year but my favorites are Pivot Point and Sever.

  • Emily @ Falling For YA

    I recently read an ARC of Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo that was completely amazing! I have also enjoyed The Madman’s Daughter and The Indigo Spell though!

  • Kaye

    So far, Dualed, The Archived and Paper Valentine. :D

  • http://www.facebook.com/saldelmaz Sallie Mazzur

    I’d have to say the books that are apart of the Dark Days tour. It makes it more special to know I met the authors and the books are signed. It’ll be a physical reminder of the great memories I have! Thanks for this giveaway, Erin. Only 2 months left!! :)

  • Rabiah

    I read both Mind Games by Kiersten White and The Trouble With Flirting by Claire LaZebnik yesterday and both were AMAZING!!! Thanks for the great giveaway :D

  • clothes_w

    Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

  • http://twitter.com/LizParkerWrites Liz Parker

    How fun! I’ve actually liked both of the 2013 releases I’ve read a lot (Scarlet by Marissa Meyer and Asunder by Jodi Meadows), but I think Scarlet was my favorite!

  • http://twitter.com/lyssness Alyssa

    So far the only 2013 release I’ve read is Just One Day by Gayle Forman, but I loved it! I’ve just started The Madman’s Daughter and am really looking forward to delving more into it.

  • Katie

    So far, my favorite 2013 release is Pivot Point.

  • Nicole Settle

    Fav release so far has to be Shades of Earth because the conclusion to that trilogy left me breathless…and also tired since I stayed up all night to finish it.

  • http://twitter.com/katyupperman Katy Upperman

    Well, I’m entering because I have to send Jessica her ARC back, and I’d LOVE a signed copy. To answer your question, I think my favorite 2013 release so far is JUST ONE DAY. I adore Gayle Forman!

    Thanks for the giveaway, lovely!

  • http://www.alexayupangco.tumblr.com/ Alexa Y.

    Yay Erin! I can’t wait to read Taken when it finally comes out, but hopefully, if I get lucky – I will get a chance to read it earlier. I’m eager to discover this world you’ve created!

  • Katie Oostman

    I’ve been looking for exciting YA novels. I like the twist and I can’t wait to read your books! My favorite 2013 release . . . I can’t choose just one!

  • http://twitter.com/ohsehooni eunkan♡

    My favorite 2013 release so far is Splintered by A.G. Howard. So amazing! I’m also a fan of Crash by Lisa McMann. So. Amazing. OH! Also Rise by Andrea Cremer. So many good books *__*

  • Sara @ Forever 17 Books

  • http://twitter.com/blackeyedsue21 Leigh Smith

    Prodigy is definitely my fave so far, though I haven’t read too many 2013 releases so far, still catching up on my 2012 pile!

  • http://overyonderlit.blogspot.com Bailey Hammond

    This looks wonderful! And omygosh I can’t decide! I’m super stoked about Kelsey Sutton’s Some Quiet Place though!

    • http://overyonderlit.blogspot.com Bailey Hammond

  • Brad Sells

    Arclight by Josin L Mcquien! SO GOOD!

  • http://twitter.com/MyNSRL My Not So Real Life

    Ahh, this is such an impossible question! But so far, I think it has to be Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi. It was so fabulous. <3
