A Winner!

17 Comments

Not everyone who participated in the verse challenge remembered to stop by on Friday, but no matter. If you read your five and I knew about it, you were entered in the contest (yes, Valerie, I’m talking to you, and a few others 😉 .

And the winner of a signed copy of my ARC, MAY B. is Amy Sonnichsen! Amy, please email me your mailing address so that I might send you a copy once the ARCs are printed.

Thank you to all who have participated. I wish I had a book for each of you. If you’re interested, I’d love to send you some MAY B. bookmarks (eventually). If you email me your address at caroline starr AT yahoo, I’ll send them out when they’re available.

Please keep me updated on any verse novel recommendations you might have and thanks again for reading along with me!

    Helen Frost is Fabulous–Nikki Grimes is too. Her books A Girl Named Mister, Dark Sons, and Bronx Masquerade are all must-reads. And Edgar Lee Masters (the originator of the genre) Spoon River Anthology is very worthwhile too.

    Amy, thank you! I had to do a report on SPOON RIVER in high school and have been in love ever since. My teacher had us create our own town, occupations, and connections. We drew names and wrote secret epitaphs for our characters then copied them into our own little anthologies. It was so much fun, I did the same when I taught middle school.

    And welcome!

    Thanks for hosting the Challenge–I love novels in verse and an excuse to read more of them! And, I can’t wait to see your book on the shelves of my local bookstore! That’ll be so very sxciting!

    I am so excited! Thank you, Caroline! I can’t believe I won!! Thank you for hosting such a cool challenge. I am excited beyond words to read May B., and this challenge was a reward unto itself because it introduced me to verse novels! So thank you on both counts. I am so thrilled. This will be the first ARC I’ve ever read, too. 🙂

    Yay, yay, yay!
    Amy

    Ha! Thank you. Part of it was: I wasn’t around. The other part of it was: I wanted someone else to have a chance to read May B since I already did. 😀

    Yeah Amy!!!

    Caroline! I’ve been so out of it this last month I somehow missed that May B found a new home. I am so, so glad it did!

    Natalie! I feel terrible that I didn’t tell you personally! I was sure I had. Here’s to a great 2011 for us both.

    I am a big fat fail of failure. But I swear I’m going to read a novel in verse soon–yours! I just need to get these revisions off my plate.

    E, you’re not a failure by any stretch of the imagination. I’m in the midst of edits myself and can totally relate. My book’ s not going anywhere…
