Here's the thing.
Since April is almost over, I'm not going to start the challenge until May. It's only fair, right? You're probably not going to finish a whole challenge in.. what. 8 days?
So, I'm going to set up a poll to see what people want the challenge's genre to be. (ex. Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts.. etc.)
Uh, yeeah.
I think that's it.
Kaythanks. C:

Mutated Reviewer (mutatedlibrary) | 85 comments Mod
Oh, awesome!
I've never actually heard of that book,
So I'm going to go check it out. hah. :D


message 7: by Nan (new)

Nan Fischer | 13 comments Joe Hill is one of my favorite authors. He wrote another book called Horns that's pretty amazing and twisted:-)

Since this is a new group and you're deciding on a first read, I'd be happy to give away 10 copies of Pandora's Key to kick things off! No pressure - just if you think the group might like the story...

Best,
Nan
Pandora's Key (The Key Trilogy, #1) by Nancy Richardson Fischer


Mutated Reviewer (mutatedlibrary) | 85 comments Mod
Awesome! I'll have to check that out too. :D

Uh, Yeah Totally! Just, can I get back to you on that one? It's just that I really want to get used to running a group before I start giving away books for it. If that's alright with you. C: (sorry if this doesn't make sense, it's like 9:30 in the morning. hah. I just woke up. :P )

Nan Fischer | 13 comments Hi,

No worries - I completely understand. Just let me know! You can email me at: thekeytrilogy@gmail.com as sometimes messages through Goodreads get lost!

As for giving a copy of my book - I'd just give you a Smashwords coupon and people could sign up for Pandora's Key and then you'd message them privately with the code. I think that's how it works!

Have a great day!

Nan Fischer | 13 comments If you like zombies I've heard that BZRK is a fun read. It's on my TBR list but I have a few other books to read/review first.

The Forest of Hands and Teeth

Nan Fischer | 13 comments I read the whole series by Carrie Ryan. It was ADDICTIVE but in the end a tiny bit predictable - love triangles all the way through;-) Still, super enjoyable!

I love it, but I haven't read the third one yet. D:
hah pretty much. :P that's how they roll,


message 16: by NayNay (new)

NayNay Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill good book but not YA. If we are looking for YA ghost story Ruined (Ruined, #1) by Paula Morris excellent book. Also Dark Passage (Chosen, #1) by M.L. Woolley and maybe To Wake The Shadows by Hannah Kollef
