Shadow & Bone needs your VOTE!
Shadow & Bone has been nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award. Now, let’s be honest, Team Grisha is up there with some amazing books, and it really is an honor and a lovely surprise just to be nominated. But a girl can dream. And possibly form a superPAC? Show a little ankle?

She’s an incredibly powerful Squaller, a great fighter, and look at her.”I took in the silver embroidery on Zoya’s cuffs, the glossy perfection of her black hair, the big blue eyes fringed by impossibly dark lashes. She was almost as beautiful as Genya. “- Chapter 11 of Shadow and Bone

Amaaaazing. I like to think he’s wearing the official Shadow and Bone polish. (And poor Alina beside him!)
Hi Leigh, I was just wondering if the cover for Siege and Storm has been created? If so, could you possibly tell us the color scheme? P.S. this is my personal blog, but my other blog is eventheoartofyouthatlovedhim
I’ve only seen a pencil sketch so I don’t know what the color palette will be yet. I’m kind of hoping for blue and gold :D

YA pumpkin patterns!
Design a book-related pumpkin or use a pattern from Kate’s blog (where you can get all of the above and many more).
Leave a picture in the comments at YA Highway or tag your Tumblr post “YA Highway pumpkin contest” by Thursday, Nov 1 at noon, Central time.
You’ll be entered to win an ARC of Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell, The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken, or Touched by Corrine Jackson!FAQs—
Carved, painted, decorated, whatever!
Any book reference whatsoever— doesn’t have to be YA, and doesn’t have to be one of our patterns.
You are awesome! (That’s a fact, not a FAQ.)
Lookit Unspoken! If only I had pumpkin skillz. (I asked my roomie if I could carve… and I didn’t get out the word ‘pumpkin’ because she just laughed and laughed.)

A little over a year ago, I was lucky enough to meet John Picacio, an extraordinary (and now Hugo award winning) fantasy artist. It was before Shadow and Bone came out, and though John was basically one of the guests of honor at a Worldcon party I attended, he took the time to chat with me about covers and art and what it’s like to work in SF&F.
John is now launching his own company, Lone Boy, and he’s gota truly awesome Kickstarter campaign going. There are all kinds of awesome treats and incentives— from signed sketches and prints to having your birthday or release date added to the full print run of his 2013 calendar. (Dibs on June 4th for Siege and Storm!) You can even model for an original work. I am sorely tempted to see myself riding a fire-breathing unicorn and wearing a red kefta.
So I hope you guys will get in there, nab yourself a calendar, and help support a generous and gifted artist!

I love this song so bloody much. Give it to 1:20 when everything goes from nice to DOUBLE MEGA AWESOME.
Many thanks to Josh K for the rec.
I didn’t post the official video because it involves dogs in cages and makes me cry.

Halloween Past!
Last year’s Dia de los Muertos makeup. I mostly used Kryolan and a bit of Ben Nye for this. Had much fun at Hollywood Forever with Tracey Taylor
