The Girl With The Feather In Her Hair - TIGER LILY ARC Giveaway

Yesterday, I reviewed Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson. It's probably one of many reviews you've read thus far. Harper Teen put together a nice publicity blitz that has kept my Twitter feed and RSS feeder full of Tiger Lily, Tiger Lily, Tiger Lily. A good choice, because Ms. Anderson's book is a good story that deserves the boost.

Well, I'm here to clog up Twitter and RSS feeds just a bit more, because I want one of you to take this book home with you.
I am giving away my Tiger Lily ARC free to a good home. Believe me, you'll want it. I won't go into all the reasons why (hey, that's what the review is for), but I'll give you three - Tiger Lily, Tinker Bell, and Peter Pan. When I read the original Peter Pan tale as a kid, I was staunchly a Wendy fan and no one else, but Ms. Anderson has rearranged my alliances entirely.

In case any of you are unfamiliar with the term, "ARC" means Advanced Reader Copy. An ARC is not the finished product, so there may be changes between the ARC and the finished book, but nothing major. Usually it's things like typos and sentence structure and stuff. The ARC also has a different cover, so don't freak out and think I'm trying to rip you off or something. Not that I really can rip you off, because I'm giving it to you for free, duh.

Entering in to win is very simple. All you have to do is:

- Complete one or more of the tasks in the Rafflecopter below.
- Live in the continental US (I'm so sorry, international readers, but I can't afford the shipping).
- Not cheat, because I will catch you and disqualify you.
- Answer my email notifying you that you've won WITHIN 48 HOURS.

Now, for your viewing and listening pleasure, a very pretty version of "Second Star to the Right" that I can imagine Tiger Lily listening to in her stone house on the cliff.

  4. I loved the idea of never growing up. As a teen, I'm excited to grow up and be an adult. Adults have a lot of responsibility, but they also have careers and money to buy books and cars to go places. Whenever I watch Peter Pan though it reminds me of how much fun it is to be a kid and every time I watch it I have that crazy feeling that I never want to grow up.

    1. Believe me, that feeling will only grow stronger as you get older. I thought everyone who told me that was stupid, but it's true.

  25. Awesome giveaway! New follower via GFC.

    Tiger Lily has gotten such rave reviews, I've got to check it out and review it for my blog. I thought she was the coolest part of the Peter Pan story. One of the things I love about the story is that the author of the book, JM Barrie, never grew up either-- the thought that his growth was stunted by emotional trauma from his mother always believing that he was his older brother who died in an accident. :-)

    Come stop by my blog sometime!

  26. I haven't read the book but my favorite part of the classic movies was the scene where Wendy first meets the mermaids.
