Winners! Jennifer Nielsen December 15, 2013

Winners!

TST_large

Alrighty, so now I wish ALL OF YOU could’ve won!

Your comments for things you hoped to see in this book were so much fun to read. It makes me even more excited to have you all read it and see how your hopes and guesses match up with the way things unfold for Jaron & Co.

The winners have been chosen and emails sent out. Which means (frowny face here) if you didn’t get an email from me, then someone else won.

Here are the winners: Valerie S, Melanie V, Ellie M, Royce V, Zachary C, and Madison P. (Still waiting to get confirmation from one more!)

There will be other giveaways before the book releases, maybe from me, or from other blogs. But BEST OF ALL, hardcover books will be released soon (Feb 25, 2014) for everyone to read!

Which is a good thing, because as all of you know (if you’ve finished THE RUNAWAY KING), the kingdom of Carthya is in a tight spot, and War is Coming…

    PS My mom hasn’t checked her email yet…. or my bro… there’s still hope…
    Jen, thanks for giving us a shot at getting the book earlier, and Lauren Hoover, thanks for putting my jumbled thoughts into words.

    I just checked and I just died. My sister walks into the room and finds me throwing a a fangirl rage:
    “AHHH! I never win anything D: LIFE, LIFE!”
    Sister: “What? What didn’t you win?”
    Me:”I LOST! I lost everything *spazzbug*”
    Sister:”WHAT?!?! What did you lose?”
    Me:”I didn’t win! *mumbles explanation*”
    Sister: “Okay….. o_o *backs out of room slowy*”
    DX To think, right before I checked I was like: “It would be cool if I won, but I probably didn’t :3 but that is okay” <– "But that is okay" LIES xD

      *Slowly
      Time for plan B :3
      RE READ THE WHOLE SERIES, and be extra good so my parents buy me The Shadow Throne 😀
      And if that fails, well let’s just say they are going to need earplugs >:D
      So Jaron better wait for me, because I don’t want to miss out on his finale adventure ^-^

        O.o acually, what I’m doing is: Plan A-beg parents to buy me book. If plan a doesn’t work, Plan B-scream and throw a huge tantrum and refuse to talk to anyone until they get me the book xD

    Thank you, Jenifer for the chance to enter. It was fun, of corse we all hoped we’d win but we’ll keep waiting until Febuary. It just makes the book even more special the longer you have to wait for it. (let the suspicion build up) Thanks again for the contest, and congratulations to all the winners!

    Bummer I didn’t win, but congrats to those who did! I guess I’ll have to go back to the “be patient and wait for the release” strategy. We’ll see how that turns out for me, haha!

    Hey, Miss Jennifer, any news on the movie?

      Thanks for asking, Jubilee! The last news I heard is the screenwriter is working on revision notes, but that the screenplay is looking good.

        I really hope they make it almost identical to the book. Cuz it would really suck if they took out characters or take out or change parts (man,I hate it when they do that!)
        Ms. Jennifer, I think all your fans here would agree with me and start a riot if they change ur book for the movie.
        WE LOVE U MISS JENNIFER!
        FOR JARON!!
        FOR CARTHYA!!

    Ok, so I was typing that on my kindle. I was very frustrated at the inability to muster an emotional response. I put the kindle down, hit the power button, and burst into tears, sobbing, “No! No!” My imaginary older sister walked into the room and said, “Tori stop it NOW. You only have to wait a little while”
    I continued sobbing.
    “Tori,” my imaginary sister said, “cut it out right now or I’m gonna rip up all your books.”
    You can imagine I stopped crying.
    And yes, I have an imaginary older sister. She helps me. A lot.
    55 days, 22 hours, 4 minutes until the book comes out!

      Gabi, I’m happy to sign and return it, or I can mail you a signed bookplate, which is a sticker you can put in your book. Not quite as cool, but that’s free because of the postage. You can email me (jen@jennielsen.com) and let me know which you prefer.

    Sadly, I just finished reading the runaway king. It was so good I re-read right after I finished it. Its really funny how I came to this series. My friend had went to the movie theater where they gave out free copies of the book to anyone who watched a certain movie. The next day she gave one of her extra copies and I read it, and fell in love. I didn’t know there would be a series so I accidentally came upon the book in the library and spazzed out. I hope Imogen and Jaron/Sage really do “get together”. I’ll getting the copy soon after it comes out. I hope.
