But today I have big news!
The good: the doorbell rang today. A guy put a box on my doorstep and ran. Normally that's cause for alarm and the box just may be full of dog terds or something, but this time it was a big box from HarperCollins. I smiled big when I saw it because awesome things come in boxes from HC!!!!
The bad: the doorbell woke up my daughter right in the middle of her nap and right when I was really getting smoking on my Book 3 work for the day.
The pretty: Inside the box was:
ARCS for HALLOWED!!!!!!!!!!
Now, before I get inundated with ARC requests, let me say: um, I can't take any ARC requests this time. Sorry. Truly, I am. I fully understand your need for a Tucker fix right now (he's on page 1, people)--oh yeah, and Clara too, right?
Never fear, I will be having some contests to give away the books in this box. But if you want an ARC you'll have to contact the publicity department at HarperTeen and/or go by the usual book blogger channels. Last year I tried to handle the requests myself and it was a mess and ended up with me wanting to crawl into a corner and suck my thumb, there were so. many. requests. And that was before most people even knew there was a Tucker.
So--YAY! Even though I've been on this published-author train for a while now, there's nothing quite like opening a box full of books with my name on it. Huge rush. Huge. I need somebody to pinch me. I can't believe this is my life.
Now I have to go calm my crying baby.

Yay, books! In need of a Christian fix here. =P I can't wait to see these hit Australian shelves!
Oh my goodness, this is so exciting! I cannot wait to read this book!
That is so amazing!! Yeah I need a fix ..... heeelp LOL
Yes! The world NEEDS more Clara.
Can't wait to read it!!
I can't wait to read this!!!! I love Tucker and I need to know what happens next! I wish I could meet some one like Tucker in real life *dreams*
AAAHHHH!! I am unnaturally and inappropriately in love with Tucker. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.
That's so awesome! I can't wait to read the book.
It sucks that your daughter got woken up in the process of getting the ARCs. I always try to keep the TV or radio on for background noise, otherwise I feel like I have to be super quiet when my daughter takes her nap.
I cannot WAIT to get my hands on Hallowed....and my imagination on Tucker....
OH MY GOSH, I'M SO EXCITED TO READ HALLOWED -- EEEEEP!
I love getting awesome books in the mail too! I know it's not the same because those are YOUR books (and it must be like "Mimi Excitement" times a million), but still! :)
TEAM TUCKER FOREVER ♥
(I don't blame you for not taking requests yourself -- I can only bet there will be TEN TIMES more now that the world has gotten their first fix of Tuck LOL!)
OMG! SO PRETTY! I cannot wait to read it :) Love Tucker! And Clara, but in a friend-way. While Tucker is totally crush-worthy.
