This Week at The Life and lies…

Contests! I have two running right now: 3 copies of THE LAST SONG and 1 copy of SHADOW BLADE. Check the sticky-post up top for the links. There is also a massive giveaway through Quirk Books for PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES: DAWN OF THE DREADFULS where you could win 1 of 50 prize packs valued at over $100 each! Click Here to enter. There’s also links on the sidebar.

And, over at Readergirlz, Elizabeth Scott has done a video blog (where she has answered my questions :D :D) and is giving away 5 paperback copies of SOMETHING, MAYBE to anyone in the world. Her blog is interesting and funny—and seriously, who doesn’t want a copy of SOMETHING, MAYBE? So go enter. and leave her a nice comment because she’s awesome.

And you know about Coffee for the Brain, right? the best blog ever? the one that makes me smile? what, you don’t? get your lazy bottom over there and him out. He’s awesome. He sent me “Wreck This Journal,” which is a project he’s doing with a journal that has been designed to destroy, like spilling coffee on one of the pages on purpose, collecting stickers from fruit, tearing strips and making paper chains etc.… here’s the page I did:

Coffee for the brain, right? right. So I embroidered that. (or at least, the cup and the head. the rest is pencil. sorry but I don’t have that much patience.)  it’s close to sewing, right?

Here’s some awesome links that I’ve collected to share with you guys…

Telling Inanimate objects to STAY when they look like they’re going to fall is a past time of mine. Here’s a facebook group dedicated to just that.
