After yesterday’s
cover reveal of Cheryl Rainfield’s STAINED, I think it’s a great time to host a
contest! How about a book giveaway?!
I happen to be
ditzy enough to have pre-ordered VICTORIA SCHWAB’s THE ARCHIVED twice! That’s
how excited I was to get her latest novel. I fell in love with Schwab’s writing
while reading her debut novel, THE NEAR WITCH! You can click on the cover of The Near Witch below to read my review:
Here's the prize up for grabs:
I won’t make
anybody jump through hoops for a book giveaway. I don’t think it’s fair…it only
frustrates the participants, no? So, here’s how complicated this contest is—LEAVE
A COMMENT ON THIS POST BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1st, 2013 at 5PM my time
(Toronto, Ontario). That’s it and that’s all. Simply leave a comment. I will
use random.com to pick a winner. You can only enter once.
The winner will
be announced right here on TRY THIS BOOK ON FOR SIZE. The next step…all the winner will have to do is email
their mailing address and I'll send them a fresh brand spanking new HARD
COVER COPY of VICTORIA SCHWAB’s THE ARCHIVED.
My idiocy is
somebody else’s gain. (-: I’m almost finished reading this book, and I can
guarantee that the winner is in for an amazing treat! Such a great story, well
told!

GOODREADS DESCRIPTION of THE ARCHIVED:
Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
Each
body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians
can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which
they rest is the Archive.
Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here
four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined
to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once
was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories
from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the
people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for
staying alive.
Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous-it's a
constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but
now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the
boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive,
the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately
altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece
together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
In
this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin
lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit,
unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.
