Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize--one lucky winner will receive one signed book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online until Sunday, April 6th at noon Pacific Time! I'm also having a bonus giveaway at the end of this post!

You can start right here or you can also go to the YA Scavenger Hunt homepage to find out all about the hunt. There are TWO contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or both! I am a part of the RED TEAM--but there is also a blue team and if you do the blue hunt too you'll have a chance to win a whole different set of signed books!

SCAVENGER HUNT PUZZLE

Directions: Below, you'll notice that I've listed my favorite number. Collect the favorite numbers of all the authors on the red team, and then add them up. Easy, right?

To be eligible for the grand prize, you must submit the completed entry form by Sunday April 6th, at noon Pacific Time. Entries sent without the correct number or without contact information will not be considered.

Let's move on to the exciting part, okay?
I'm very excited to be hosting:



Lissa Price
Lissa Price’s debut novel STARTERS is an international bestseller published in over thirty countries. Dean Koontz called this YA futuristic thriller “a smart, swift, inventive, altogether gripping story.” STARTERS appeared on many best of lists and won top awards in the Netherlands, Germany and France. Kirkus called the sequel, ENDERS, “delightfully disturbing.” Lissa lives in Southern Calif with deer and coyotes for neighbors.
If you want to find out more about Lissa and her books, check out her website!

The book she's promoting is ENDERS!

The thrilling end to the questions raised in Starters is here. Someone is after Starters like Callie and Michael—teens with chips in their brains. They want to experiment on anyone left over from Prime Destinations—Starters who can be controlled and manipulated. With the body bank destroyed, Callie no longer has to rent herself out to creepy Enders. But Enders can still get inside her mind and make her do things she doesn’t want to do, like hurt someone she loves. Having the chip removed could save her life—but it could also silence the voice in her head that might belong to her father. Callie has flashes of her ex-renter Helena’s memories, too . . . and the Old Man is back, filling her with fear. Who is real and who is masquerading in a teen body? No one is ever who they appear to be. Determined to find the Old Man to stop him, and grasping at the hope of a normal life for herself and her younger brother, Callie is ready to fight for the truth. Even if it kills her.

I LOVED this book! A great ending to a great series!!!

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT REMOVED




Love it! I could read it at least 5 more times! If you want to buy ENDERS (you really should!), here's a link

I listen to audio books while I'm traveling by train :) I have to travel for 4 hours every day by train so it's great to listen to audio books at least if there aren't any people next to me talking loud and stuff xD

BA Wilson said...

Thanks for participating! I just bought Enders on my Kindle over the weekend, and I have Impostor on my Goodreads want-to-read list. I love that cover! It's fascinating. :)

In the car, it's a great way to make my long commute bearable.

Angela said...

I don't listen to audiobooks. I prefer to read things by myself. I get into stories a lot better if I read the words myself.

Unknown said...

If I driving or doing something mindless on a computer at work.

Unknown said...

I don't really listen to audiobooks all that often but my husband love them. He has to commute for work each week and he really enjoys having a good book to listen to.

anonymous said...

I listen to audio books when I go running in the morning. I find it as relaxing as running itself and it motivates me more than music because if its a good part, I run farther!

kawzmikgirl said...

I listen to audiobooks on my way to work in the car! I have about a 45 min drive one way. Not only does it pass the time, but I get to read double the books I would regularly! Total win-win!

Unknown said...

I'm new to audio books, but my preferred time would be at bedtime. When I want to read, but my husband is sleeping and won't let me keep the light on.

*Exaggerated sigh* Husbands, right?

Becca F (ReadingTeen) said...

In the car mostly! :)

magicseal said...

Thanks for the amazing giveaway! I listen to audiobook just before bed to help me sleep and on long journeys. I often travel to Scotland to see family and the 9 hour journey so I listen to a lot of audiobooks then.

Unknown said...

I've actually never tried an audio book, but would love to! they seem very convenient!

PamM said...

I have never really tried one.

Unknown said...

I don't use audiobooks too much, but they are great in the summer, when it's extremely sunny outside. (Tanning with a book is not as easy as one may think.)

Kristen said...

When I'm cleaning and driving!

Stephanie said...

I haven't actually really listened to audiobooks before, but I am really interested in doing so. I would probably listen to it while I drive. Or other times holding a book wouldn't be an option.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Unknown said...

I had shoulder surgery and as a blogger I like to read a review and have goals! I have had a hard time since my surgery I fall asleep since I am on medication and it has made it hard to read so audio books helps with this!

Long car rides are the best time for me :)

I listen to audiobooks in the car with my kids when we're running errands, in the car when we're traveling, and sometimes I pop in the headphones and listen when I'm doing housework. My preschooler son BEGS for "car book, please, mama!" as soon as we get in the car. We're currently listening to Harry Potter (at his request after watching all the movies AGAIN last weekend!)

Amy said...

I listen to audiobooks in the car, working out, or cleaning the house. Basically when I can't be reading an actual book. :)

I like to listen to audiobooks before I go to bed! Thanks for participating in YASH! :D

Michka said...

When I'm in the car, usually, especially for any kind of long (or longish) drive. We used to have a super long commute (93 miles each way) and we listened to a ton of audiobooks. I hadn't thought about listening to an audiobook while at the gym until this post, but it's definitely something I'll consider!

Arlene said...

I listen to audiobooks in the car and also at work because part of my job takes place outside. Thanks for the extra giveaway!

deasuluna said...

I love audiobooks, I listen to them everyday while on my way to work or cooking and cleaning around the house. With audiobooks I have found many series that I wouldn't have tried or read before.

MissBloodsucker™ said...

When I have an audiobook I listen to it everywhere, but I usually don't use them because they're harder to get ahold of compared to physical books and ebooks.....

Unknown said...

I'm going to be honest, I don't think I've listened to any audiobooks since I was a little kid... But theres always time for a first! I'm pretty excited for these:) x

Unknown said...

at night usually or on long car journeys on country roads!!

Unknown said...

I listen to them while I'm driving, when I'm cleaning, when I'm cooking, when I'm browsing the web - basically any time I can. And I would especially love to win this one because I won a copy of your book from Winterhaven Books last Jan or Feb and never received it, so I would love to finally have the chance to read it! Thanks :)

I've been listening to audiobooks more and more frequently - I'm always looking for deals on Audible. I primarily listen while I'm in the shower, in my car, and when I'm cleaning. Thanks for the giveaway!

Unknown said...

I listen to audiobooks when I feel like listening to a specific book would have more intensity and power.

Dumbledore's Army Marauder's Map said...

I usually listen to audiobooks when the books I try to rent isnt there to rent but otherwise I listen to those MP3 audiobooks. They are great for washing dishes or other chores where you need both hands and dont want to blare the stereo.

Unknown said...

I don't normally listen to audiobooks, but I'd consider it. :3

Rachel G said...

I can`t seem to get into audiobooks :/ In the care I prefer to listen to music and when I do read, I prefer the actual book.

Melissa @thereaderandthechef said...

I've never tried listening to an audiobook before, I still am hesitant about them, though I do have some in my computer. One of these days I'm gonna go for it :)

Anonymous said...

To be honest, I don't listen to audiobooks. I have the bad habit of having to go back over what I just read. SMH. I get distracted, or as I'm reading my mind wanders, you know the drill. So I like to be able to have the ability to be able to go back to where I "left off" and with audiobooks you can't really do that as easily. Plus with printed books (including ebooks) you get to come up how the character's accent sounds (or even create one) and how to pronounce the character's name.

Unknown said...

I listen to audiobooks to and from work. I have a 45 minute drive each way, so there's a lot of time to fill. :) Thanks for the giveaway!

Unknown said...

I have never listened to an audio book would love to try one :)

Oops, forgot to say that I listen to audiobooks when I lay in bed and can't sleep! They're very soothing!
