It’s a Festivus Miracle! (And Giveaway!!!)
Well, there I go again, really “connecting” with my younger readers by making a Seinfeld reference. Do young adults even know what Festivus is? Come on, the airing of grievances, the feats of strength, the Festivus pole? Really, nothing???
Oh well, I do have some great news. Look what I got on Tuesday (and, no, not for Festivus)…
Yes, you saw right, it’s my very first, shiny new ARC of THE LAST ECHO!!!
And because it’s the season for warm and fuzzy...and you know, giving...I’m thinking that means: GIVEAWAY!!!!
So here’s the deal: I’m going to give away not one, not two, but THREE of these brand-spanking new (and slightly petted), hot-off-the-presses ARCs just in time for the holidays. You can keep it, gift it, or swap it. It’s totally up to you. But first, you have to win it!
Here’s how...
From now until noon Pacific Time on Sunday, December 18th, you can earn points by:
2 points – Being or becoming a follower of the blog (this one, right here!)
2 points – For adding The Last Echo to your Goodreads "to-read" shelf
2 points – For being or becoming a follower on Goodreads (different from adding the book, mind you)
2 points – For being or becoming a Twitter follower (c’mon, all the cool kids are doing it!!!)
1 point – For Tweeting/Re-tweeting the contest (there’s a 1-point max here, so don’t send me your 20 points for tweeting ;)
1 point for telling me (in the comments) your favorite Body Finder moment (from any of the books...Enthralled included)
1 point for telling me (in the comments also) what you want for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Festivus!
If you play your cards right, that’s a total of 11 (pretty darn easy!) points you can earn, folks! But remember, I need you to tally those points in your comment* for me and leave your email address so I know how to reach you if/when you win!!!
*I know this cross-posts all over the place, but leave your comment on the original Blogger post at www.kimberlyderting.blogspot.com (not on Goodreads, not on LiveJournal, not on Tumblr...you get the idea!)
Oh, and yes, international entries welcome!
Winners will be chosen using random.org on Sunday, December 18th!
And for those of you who don’t know what Festivus is, check this out:
(Psst...here's the link in case you can't see the video!)
UPDATE:
I emailed the winners yesterday but forgot to post them. So for those of you who were curious, here they are (and, yes, I did choose FIVE because I was feeling the holiday spirit!):

+1 What do I want for Christmas? Well, I would love a money tree right about now, since everything around my house seems to b breaking all at once. LOL But since that is an impossibility, I would settle for some B&N giftcards so I can pick out some new books. :)

Fave Body Finder Moment: When Jay is telling Vi that he was hoping she's figure out he wanted her, and hoping she wanted him as much as he wanted her. Really, any Jay/Vi moments! I love their relationship!
Christmas time: What I want for Christmas? Besides an iPad? Well, Last Echo of course! :-)

Vi & Jay’s first kiss!! I know it’s lame to pick such an obvious moment, but I was so excited to see them getting closer and to see that it finally happened. And I like that one scene when Jay says, he was just waiting for them to get together and that he knew it would happen eventually. Love confident (and hot. Jay is definitely hot!!) guys!
+1 Telling what I want for Christmas
This year my biggest wish has been granted already. I spent the past months in Switzerland as a semester abroad and I’m missing my family, friends, dog, (books) like crazy!! In a week I’m going home and it’s the best present to spend xmas with my family. It’s not just a phrase, I totally feel it! It’s pure joy when I think of going home (though Switzerland was awesome:))

+1 What I want for Christmas: This ARC (of course). Something more likely and unlikely at the same time is a DSLR camera, but already know that's not going to happen. I can dream though :-)

+1 Xmas wish: books, books, and more books. Oh, and to find the time to read them all. :)

+1 My favorite moment: i don't know if im crazy, but there is always a bittersweet feeling when you break up with the person you love, when Jay and Violet break up i was crying for that, it was so so sad, and I felt what she was going through, i think that was my fav moment.
+1 I would love to have books BOOKS! But the Last Echo will be beyond perfect!! :)

+1 for fave scene. Now, I must be weird as the first scene that popped into my head was a scary scene where, in Body Finder, the serial killer follows then abducts a girl and we all thought it was Violet (she stormed away from the party). I have no idea why I love that scene. I think it's because it was one of those "heart in your mouth" moments and I love those moments...
+1 for Christmas. A DVD of a stand-up comedian, Sarah Millican. That's all, really. I am useless for gifts!
So, that's 11. Thank you again for the contest. Merry Christmas everyone!

Favorite Body Finder moment is in the fist book, after the party when Violet ang Jay start talking to eash other again :)
A few years ago (I think its been 7-8 years) me and my friends started a tradition to meet and have our own christmas one or two days before the "real" christmas. This year it seems hat its going to be hard to find that time so what I mostly want for thic christmas is to find that time and have our chrismas. (I know its not like "peace on earth" or "stop world hunger" but its what I want, to meet my 'family' all of us togheter for the first time in a long time)

I would have 3 points for being on twitter but I don't have an account and I really don't want to make one.
+1 My favorite moment would have to be when Violet trips in the woods and then it's 'Jay to the rescue!' The moment is just so tender and sweet that it just makes me want to squeal like a little fangirl :)
+1 What I want for Christmas is to not be sick this year. Every year I get sick and am completely miserable so it would be nice if I could actually enjoy it this year.
