WANDERLOVE Paperback Giveaway! (Bonus: Animals!)

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.)
rowan the seahorse
a central american yoda mutt

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

To enter:
Comment on this post with your favorite animal! (Or maybe not your favorite, but the animal you'd like to see me draw.)
One extra entry for tweeting, tumbling, facebooking, reposting, etc.
I'll pick winners at random on Sunday, March 17th (after our writing retreat).
US & Canada residents only, please.
Make sure your email address is linked in your profile! (or include it in your comment)

Good luck! If you don't win, you can pick up a Wanderlove paperback after March 12th :)

  8. Kristen, 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

    Anyway, one of my favorite animals is a Loggerhead Turtle. Such beautiful creatures!

    Great giveaway--thanks! Will tweet about it pronto.

    I would love for you to draw a tree frog! :)

    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

  18. My fave animal is a unicorn. Seriously. Does that count?

    I'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!

  19. 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.

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

  47. So, 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?
