Q:What's the craziest thing you've ever done to get your hands on any particular book?
Ah. Last year Karen Marie Moning offered up the entire Fever series signed on her forum. All you had to do was post the most comments on her blog during the 7 days the contest was open. Sweet Baby Jesus I thought I'd lose my fingers by the time I finally got those books! By the end I had over 2700 posts. It came down to the last second with one other girl and I won with like 7 posts. My hands were shaking there at the end so bad I could hardly type. Totally worth it though :)
Oh man! That sounds intense. But at least you have a crazy story to tell now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following Pretty In Fiction. Following you back!
Yeah my crazy story has my cheeks turning a bit pink while I'm reading through everyone else's responses and feeling just a touch crazier than I had a few hours ago :)
DeleteWow, that was awesome! Hopping through. Here's my FF

Hehe. I think it was kinda like you with NetGalley. I don't know what got into me but I just could. not. stop! Was too funny. Thanks for dropping by :)
DeleteThat is one of the best answers I have ever heard. That is crazy and I completely agree with you that for any book series that you really love that it is worth it. =] New Follower. =]

Was pretty fun and entertaining. By the end though the two of us were just begging for it to be over. I think her fingers were protesting too :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteNew follower! Ha! It sounds like it was a fun experience. I would do some pretty crazy stuff to get JK Rowling to sign a copy of HP for me. I love you blog background, by the way. It looks like a lovely watercolor painting.

It really was fun to play with some other fans for such a great prize. Don't know if I'd do it again any time soon though. I know a couple people who would be right there with ya for a signed HP!
DeleteWow, that's pretty crazy! Haha. The things we'll do for a book! :) Happy Friday!

DeleteAwesome story! Best yet! That is something I would have totally done too though! But 2700 posts WOW Your fingers must have been tired. I have heard that series is awesome. I have the first book but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Thanks for visiting my blog! Now following!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantastic series! You should definitely give it a go. Book one wasn't my favorite but by book 3 I was completely won over. And yeah my fingers were SO not loving me by the end :) Thanks for coming by.
