Win a signed ARC of Forever

Most of you know that I've just got back from BEA (Book Expo America) in New York City and let me tell you, I had a fantastic time! It was tiring, overwhelming, awe inspiring and basically just an amazing experience. I'm planning on writing about my adventures but while you're waiting, how would you like to win one of the most coveted books at the conference - an ARC of Forever by Maggie Stiefvater. I had no idea this book was going to be there until the night before the very first day of BEA then guess where I headed at 9am? Yep, straight to the Scholastic booth and within the first 4 minutes, I had an ARC of Forever AND The Scorpio Races and my day was made :D

A few days later, I went to a Scholastic bloggers event and got ANOTHER copy of Forever which I have brought back to England to give away. Oh and did I mention that it's SIGNED? Yep, Maggie was there and she kindly signed the ARC for me. There are a lot of contests at the moment involving books from BEA (including Forever) and only some of them are international. Well, just for YOU I am making this contest UK ONLY which means that you stand a VERY good chance of winning this as less people will enter. Yes, the postage will be cheaper for me but I'm mainly doing this so that someone from the UK will get it.

So, what do you need to do? As you may know, I like to keep things simple so I'm going to ask you to leave me a comment with your name and your e mail address as well as who your favourite character is from the series. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A FOLLOWER and you don't even need to be a book blogger, I just want you to have read the first two books and love them! The deadline to enter is Midnight, Friday 10th June. GOOD LUCK! As an addendum, I will be choosing a winner using some kind of random generator.

Forever is released on 12th July, 2011 so even if you don't win, there isn't long to wait for it :)

    Thank you for an awesome prize!
    I'd have to say Grace. She's a beautifully drawn character, and I love reading about her.

    It's a difficult question but something deep inside says it has to be Cole.

    It would be so awesome to win a signed Forever.
    Thanks for the chance!

    Thanks for letting me enter and thanks for the great giveaway!

    I'm going to pick Cole. Sam and Grace bored me a little in Linger and I liked that Cole was there to add a little bit of danger to the mix. Sexy bad boys > quiet sensitive types in my world, although they've never done me much good. ha!

    Oh, wow! What a cool contest!

    I wish I could say that Sam or Grace are my fave character, but I think Isabel wins for me. Not only can I imagine her voice in my head the quickest (blame KaDee Strickland aka Charlotte from Private Practice) but I can relate to the why she's the way she is and that makes her interesting!

    I like Olivia because of the awkward relationship that develops between her and Grace and her resulting relationship with Jack.

    Well I could just say Cole from an eye candy point of view (mmmmm sweet hot bad boy rocker Cole!) But in truth my favourite character is Isobel because she is so complex and broken as a character but also has such strength in her when it comes to all the trouble they face. Plus she has real sass and fire in her spirit which I love to see in a female character. I'd want to be her way more than Grace (nothing to do with Cole having his pretty eyes on Isobel. No sir; I'm not shallow! Ok maybe a little)

    Take three. I can't catch a break to enter this competition. :(

    As much as everyone is my favourite, overall it has to be Grace. I find that I tend to imprint, like a duck, on the person who introduces me to the world they're in and like any small child, I take my baby steps while still holding that character's hand. Grace is a beautiful character for that, she has such a commonality and level with the reader, she's an excellent point of view guiding but still retaining an identity that doesn't lead us on too much. Plus she's a bitching wolf now.

    Thank you for running the contest! <3

    Hi! I love to find UK-based blogs!

    My favourite character in the series is Isabel - I love that in Shiver, you think she's a bitch and then she shows her love for her brother and goes out of her way to help Grace and Sam. In Linger, you see more of her vulnerability but she doesn't lose her edge. I'm a sucker for the whole "I'm prickly to protect myself" thing.

    Great giveaway! And it's epic that it's UK only! I would have to say my favourite character is Grace: if I don't like the main/initial protagonist, there's very little chance I'll care for others, but fortunately Grace is someone I can relate to.

    Hi. This is an amazing contest thanks, especially as it is UK only.
    For me it has to be obvious one Sam, although Beck is a close second.
    Thanks again.

    I can't wait to hear all about BEA, we must get together soon so you can tell me all the gossip!

    Thank you for the giveaway.

    I would like to enter the giveaway but I can't really name a favorite character as I haven't read any of the series as yet.

    I have read good reviews on the books and have added them to my wishlist.

    Thanks.

    hi i'm yeliz at yeli_peli@hotmail.com, i'd say my favourite character has to be a tie between cole and olivia, i feel like me and cole have the same attitude about life and music and i, like olivia, see life through the lense of a camera! plus red is my favourite colour and a sfar as i can tell the cover for forever is red!

    Thanks for the giveaway, it can be tough to find some that people from the UK can enter.

    My favourite character is Grace. I think, even though she's in this incredible situation, it's very easy to relate to her and understand her motivations which draws me to her character.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    My favourite character would have to Sam of course! He's so sweet and romantic and you know he is willing to do anything to be with Grace. But of course it’s the fact that he’s not afraid to be sensitive and admit he feelings unlike like many other guys. And of course there the fact that he can sing and play the guitar. I wish he was my boyfriend!

    The Shiver series is one of my favourites and I love Maggie! She is seriously talented! I CANNOT WAIT to read Forever and The Scorpio Races!

    Thanks again

    Squee! I can not wait for this book, thanks so much for the giveaway!!

    It's so hard to pick a favourite, but probably Sam, he is such a sweetheart (ah when Grace gave him his birthday present! I loved that scene!) But I do adore Isabel and her sarkiness :)
