Extraordinary News from the League

Lots of news has happened this month in the world of the League! 

First, excellent news from Elana, who revealed the beautiful cover of her third book, ABANDON! You can find out more information about it here (and add it to your GoodReads). Additionally, in the month of October, Elana's holding a Review Drive. You can find out more information here.

As we gear up for two (two!) launches of League books this month, there's lots of exciting news for both Mike and Genn. Make sure you don't miss any of Mike's stops for his blog tour celebrating ASHEN WINTER. And if you'd like to see Mike in person, a full list of his upcoming appearances can be found here.

Genn will also be touring blogs throughout October, as well as touring in real life with the Fierce Reads book tour from October 16-22. A full list of all the stops can be found here. And lots of people are loving on CREWEL--not only have the Italian rights sold to Rizzoli in auction, but CREWEL was chosen as an Amazon Editor's Fall Pick for Teens!

CREWEL's not the only molto bene title in our group--Lissa's STARTERS was just released in Italy! Additionally, it is now in a second printing and also made a surprise re-appearance on the Southern California Independent Booksellers Assoc Bestseller list at #8! If you'd like to meet Lissa in person, she has several upcoming appearances:

  • Orange County Childrens' Bookfair on 10/30 at 11 am
  • Portland's Wordstock 10/13 at 12 and 2pm 
  • 10/13 7pm Jan's in Beaverton
  • 10/15 Beach Books in Seaside, OR 
  • 10/18 7pm Burbank Library Buena Vista 
  • 10/20 2pm B&N Grove with Melissa de la Cruz and David Levithan. 
And Lanore has been able to reveal a full list of awesome blurbs for her debut, LEVEL TWO! Look at what's being said--and who's raving about her book!

“A gripping debut! This utterly unique take on the afterlife poses fascinating questions . . . I can't wait to read the rest of the series to find out the answers!”—Megan McCafferty, New York Times bestselling author of Bumped and Thumped 
“Appelhans brings the afterlife to a whole new level. . . . A high-voltage thrill ride through love, death, and memory that will leave you breathless.”—Jess Rothenberg, author ofThe Catastrophic History of You and Me
“Absolutely gripping. My heart pounded on nearly every page. You won't be able to put it down.”—Mary E. Pearson, award-winning author of the Jenna Fox Chronicles


And finally, I've got some news of my own...I'll be at NY ComicCon this year! Not only will I be on several panels, but I'm also going to signing (free!) copies of SHADES OF EARTH during the con. I'll also have an event at Books of Wonder. For more information on these and all my stops, just check here.

I also have a little bit more news, including an upcoming giveaway, but all I can say now is that you should probably check out my blog around October 15...
