The Cinderella Society ARC contest — 100-Day Countdown!

It’s hard to believe that when I first put The Cinderella Society’s countdown widget on the blog, the release date was almost 300 days away. As of today, we are officially 100 days out from release!

To celebrate this fun milestone, I’m giving away a signed ARC of The Cinderella Society to one lucky person who is displaying the TCS countdown widget on their blog!

To participate, simply grab the widget above (click the Share button to copy the code), paste the code into your blog sidebar, and comment below with a link to your blog. The contest is open until this Friday, January 8th, 2010. Good luck!!

Cheers and Happy New Year,

    Oh wow Kay! That is so exciting. I am going to have to try to get your widget to work again on wordpress…. I love my blog layout and what it can do but some things dont work well with it. GAH!

    Either way! I am so Team Cinderella Society! :) If there is anything you need me to do from my corner of the world in Minnesota give me a holler! :)

  • 36. Kay  |  January 8th, 2010 at 10:37 pm

    Thank you guys for all the shout-out love! It’s been so much fun watching the comments go up this week while I’ve been deep in final pass pages (proofing) The Cinderella Society before it goes to print. Seeing the TCS countdown widget all over the web makes it all seem REAL. Thank you for that too!

  • 37. Krissi Dallas  |  January 9th, 2010 at 5:04 pm

    Oh, darn! I missed the cut-off date!! But I posted on my blog anyway – so excited for you!! (Already talking it up to students/teachers and our librarian!) Hope you eventually come do a book event in the DFW area… count on me to help promote in the area, if you do. :)
