I can't believe it's been a year since Wanderlove was released! But I have this box of shiny, new paperbacks sitting right here, seeking homes.
Wanderlove is about an 18-year-old girl named Bria who journeys off the beaten path in Central America, where she discovers adventure, unexpected romance, and jungle beasties. There are hostels. There are beaches. There is even mud wrestling.
In honor of Wanderlove's official paperback release on March 12th from Random House/Ember, I'm going to give away five signed, personalized books. But wait! There's more. Wanderlove is illustrated, by
me Bria (okay, really it's me). If you win, I'll draw the animal of YOUR CHOOSING on the title page.
(not quite as detailed as the ones below, but they will still be enthusiastic.)

When I told my YA Highway co-bloggers about my giveaway plans, some of them drew animals, too! BEHOLD: the YA Highway menagerie.

My favorite animal is the majestic unicorn, which is so totally real.
ReplyDeleteKristen, you are a very talented drawer! I absolutely fell in love with Wanderlove last year, and have been wanting to own it ever since, but other expenses have come in the way. haha
ReplyDeleteAnyway, one of my favorite animals is a Loggerhead Turtle. Such beautiful creatures!

Thank you Kirsten! :)
Ooh, yay. How about a giraffe? :)

ReplyDeleteA hippo for sure! Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteA year?! How can a year have gone by and I have still not read WANDERLOVE? Ack. My pile is way too big.... (But oh man would I love to add a copy of WANDERLOVE to it, lol.)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway--thanks! Will tweet about it pronto.
I would love for you to draw a tree frog! :)

ReplyDeleteWow, love these drawings. I probably couldn't do as good as a job, haha.
ReplyDeleteFavorite animal is a kitty cat, but a tiger would do. :)
Yay for the new paperback!
Congrats on the paperback release!

My favorite animal is a dalmatian. I've loved them ever since I was a little kid and watched 101 dalmatians. Sadly, no matter how nicely I ask or how many times I sing the song, the Mr. will not allow me to have a dalmatian plantation. LoL
a kangaroo!

My fave animal is a unicorn. Seriously. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a huge cat lover, but if you're drawing, I'd love a seahorse. I'm EXTREMELY impressed with your artistic skills. I have none. =P
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway! I've been wanting to read Wanderlove FOREVER!

I like a lot of animals, Sea Otters, Raccoons, giraffes, my dog. But, I'd probably ask you to draw a Raccoon named Achilles Zeus Anastopolis.

I actually loved the seahorse and the giraffe, they are too cute. If I win, surprise me because I love ALL animals, real or fantastical!!!! Tweeting giveaway right now and creating a post on blog.
ReplyDeletePenguin!!! I love penguins :) Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteLOVED this book. My one regret is I didn't buy it, I read it from the library. When I finished it I actually started re-reading it. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI think the crab is my favorite of the drawings above because it's so simple and cute.
I'd LOVE to read this book! My favorite animal is a koala bear, but I love that sea horse too!

I loved this book, and the fact you included drawings. It was different from an illustrated novel in such a good way.
ReplyDeleteAnd you should totally draw an elephant. =D Maybe Dumbo.

Penguin! I have the cutest penguin cover for my iPhone.
ReplyDeleteSo, I hope this is still open since you're not drawing until the 17th, and I agree that a penguin would be pretty effin stellar..can he also rock a tuxedo?

Love the giraffe drawing. Congrats on your book.
ReplyDeleteIt was great seeing you in Shelton. Looking forward to reading your books. All animals are cute, but how about a bear cub.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you draw a liger! ^_^
