Gothic Film Club
Just found out about it today. The original post can be found at Write for a Reader
Yesterday, Aug 1st, as many of you know, was the actual release date for Michelle Zink's Prophecy of the Sisters. The reviews for her book have been glowing, so if you haven't read it, I suggest that you do. I will be posting my review this week.
Michelle has graciously offered up some fabulous prizes for my readers, in connection with a contest that I will be hosting here for the entire month of August. Entrants need to watch one movie a week and then blog about it (a movie review) with a link back to my blog as well as Michelle's. You have to mention Prophecy and post the cover in order to be eligible.
Each Monday in August, I will post Movie Monday, where you'll put your links in the comments. Then, the following Sunday, I will choose one winner, randomly, from all the entries. The winner will receive a signed hardcover of Prophecy of the Sisters as well as miscellaneous Prophecy swag to include a magnet, a signed mini-poster, etc. At the end of the month I will choose a winner from each person who entered during the month (you will receive one entry per week that you participate, for a total of 4 entries if you participate each week) and the Grand Prize winner will receive a Gothic Swag Bag - gift cards, jewlery, movies, etc.
The list of movies to choose from are as follows:
Interview with a Vampire*
The Others*
Wuthering Heights
Rebecca
Rear Window
Dial M for Murder
The Village*
The Orphanage
An American Haunting
Sleepy Hollow*
The Skeleton Key
The Haunting
The Changeling *
30 Days of Night
The Talented Mr. Ripley*
Van Helsing*
The Crow*
Edward Scissorhands*
I am announcing the contest today, and will have a post up tomorrow where you can link to your movie review posts throughout the week. You can start watching movies tonight and start posting as early as tomorrow. Remember, all posts must be up and linked by the following Saturday each week so that a winnner can be drawn on Sunday to be posted on Monday with the new week's Movie Monday post.
Today, you can comment about your desire to participate, which movies you will watch and review, etc. Don't worry about choosing the same movie as someone else, multiple reviews for the same movie are welcome! So, who's going goth, as in goth movies?
*These are movies I've seen and wouldn't mind watching again for this challenge. I was thinking about watching Sleepy Hollow anyways, so I could review it on my movie blog.

Anyone a fan of Manga?
I have only purchased a few in my life. Want to win 10 for free?
Before today, I'd never heard of Spectrum Nexus. Turns out they have monthly giveaways, and also a picture of my friend, the turnip-headed scarecrow from one of my all time favorite books and animated films, Howl's Moving Castle.
I really hope I win. If not, it would be great if one of you guys did.
Here's the link: 10 Free Manga-Ends September 4, 2009
It would be awesome if they have that "Buy 3 Get the 4th Free" deal going, because that would be like 3 extra books.
Note: You may or may not already be doing this. Can't remember where I got this from. It was either Sweeties Sweeps or About.com Contests. It's best to have an email account set up exclusively for contests/giveaways. I've been doing this for a few days and it seems to be working. I no longer have to search through a messy Inbox. Now I need to tackle reading/deleting old messages.

ARC Giveaways
Carrie's YA Bookshelf is giving away 2 ARCs to one winner.
- The Hate List - Val helped her boyfriend make a list of things they hated. While he attacked the school somehow she decided she wanted to save one of the people. The story focuses on how she deals with the consequences five months later.
- Beautiful Creature -
I'm curious to see if these books are as predictable as they sound. Not trying to be harsh. They might blow me away. Something I've been looking forward to. (Inner pessimist)
Real reaction - These books sound great. The plot is a little different. I look forward to seeing how they turn out.
Head on over to Carrie's YA Bookshelf on or before Thursday, July 31st, 2009.

Entered first to Win Catching Fire
He who is first shall be last.
Probably won't win. Wouldn't be the first time. Really want to read Catching Fire. Will probably have to wait until September, depending on how long the Hold list is at the library.
While I'm probably waiting on Catching Fire, one of you could be the recipient of a brand new copy. Awaiting Serenity nabbed an extra copy at ALA.
So someone, probably not me. You know how Random.org is, will receive a copy.
Tell her your favorite character and why to enter to get Catching Fire. Ends Sat., Aug. 1st, 2009
Side note: Going off to college today. Officially, I won't be off until next month. Isn't that exciting. I want to go by their local library and get a card. Then take a bunch of shots of the town. Hope it happens.

Book Hunt - Catching Fire
When I first found out Catching Fire is going to be released on September 1st, I started my ARC Hunt. At first, I could barely find one contest/giveaway that I was eligible for, or didn't already miss out on.
Now, probably due to BEA, everyone seems to have one to offer. Just knowing there is a greater chance of getting my hands on one, makes me excited.
Here is a couple I found on my own the other day. Thanks Google search.
Confession of a Wondering Heart book blog is also having a contest and The Shady Glade is also having one.
Through the Chick Lit Teens book blog I got a link to the Kidlit contest.
