Holy Possession Prizes!
Okay, so we've been giving away book-related swag all week. Up today, some sweet (I think) stuff to go along with my YA dystopian, POSSESSION, coming out next June.
In the book, Vi doesn't want anyone telling her what to do. But she's caged, trapped, inside her society and all their rules.
Thus, the iconic butterfly frozen in ice cover image. So today, I'm giving away a keychain made by the lovely Christina Lee, complete with butterfly charm and icy blue bead. In addition to that, you'll get a couple of temporary tattoos that say "TAGGED," another nod toward the book, when Vi gets tagged with a barcode around her wrist. (I ordered them; they're not quite here yet. But click here and you can see what I mean. Yours will say TAGGED underneath.)
On top of that, I'll throw in some signed and watercolored bookmarks, and a bag of my favorite: Dove dark. (Okay, this has nothing to do with my book, but doesn't everyoneneed love chocolate?)
You must leave a comment on this post to win all this Possession-related stuff.
But that's not all, my feathered friends. All of us here at The League are also giving away a prize package of our books! To enter the grand prize drawing for all five books, fill out the form below, including a link to your post. You only need to fill out the form once this week (chances are, you've already done this) for the drawing. Winner will be announced on December 20th.

Mementos from Nora
This week we're each giving away a prize pack based on our own books. For Memento Nora, in addition to a few shiny bookmarks and postcards, I'm offering up a few things the main character, Nora, might think are glossy (her favorite word): a pearly pink iPod cover, some mobile minutes, and a charm bracelet.
The last one needs a little 'splaining, so let me give you a little synopsis and snippet from the book.
In the not-so-distant future, Nora James, the popular girl and happy consumer, witnesses a horrific bombing on a shopping trip with her mother. In Nora’s world, terrorism is so commonplace that she can pop one little white pill to forget and go on like nothing ever happened. However, when Nora makes her first trip to a Therapeutic Forgetting Clinic to do just that, she learns what her mother, a frequent forgetter, has been frequently forgetting. (No spoilers!)
That evening, Nora’s father gives her a present—a memento—to “commemorate” her first TFC trip:
Nora comments later:
So the prize I’m offering—to save you any such shopping trips this Christmas season—is a charm bracelet full of purses.

Dad pulled something out of his pocket. A small, green¬ish blue box that I instantly recognized as being from the best jewelry store, the Tiffany’s downtown next to his office. Inside was a silver bracelet with one charm on it. A purse. It was, I had to admit, very glossy.
He fastened it onto my wrist. I couldn’t help smiling.
“No little girl of mine should have to see what you saw,” he said, full of seriousness. “But the world isn’t a safe place anymore, and I can’t always be there to protect you. So every time you need to forget something bad like you did today, I’m going to buy you a new charm to remind you that you’re still my little girl.”I know this sounds sweet, but it’s not really, considering what she didn’t forget and what she finds out is going on.
Nora comments later:
Apparently my milestone was an explosive shopping trip. Dad was more right than he knew.
So the prize I’m offering—to save you any such shopping trips this Christmas season—is a charm bracelet full of purses.
Not exactly Tiffanys, I know, but still very glossy.

Introducing The League of Extraordinary Writers (and our first PRIZE PACK)!
But there's one thing we all have in common: the futures we're writing about are all after the world takes a turn for the worst.
Dystopias are among the most popular genres in YA literature today, and we're all honored to be exploring the vast world of dark futures.
This blog is dedicated to highlighting the best of the best in the dystopian field. To read about the inception and plans for the blog, click here. We'll be exploring books, movies, and television; interviewing authors; reviewing dystopian works; and introducing you to our own new works. With a new blog post by a different author every weekday, you're sure to find something you enjoy!
Are you new to dystopian works? I recently blogged about dystopia and why it's popular in society today.
But....we all know why you're here. For prizes! This month, we're giving away SIGNED SWAG!
This month, we're giving away a SIGNED copy of Rick Yancey's MONTRUMOLOGIST (did I mention it won the Printz Honor?) and a SIGNED copy of Carrie Ryan's THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH and signed bookmarks by PJ Hoover and Maria Snyder and a signed magnet by Stacey Jay!
