Wake Contest

Lisa McMann, the author of the ever-so-fabulous book Wake, has posted a contest that's really not as much of a contest as it is a generous give-away of many fabulous autographed YA books and ARCs.

If you haven't read Wake, here's the official summary:

"For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people's dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie's seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime.

She can't tell anybody about what she does -- they'd never believe her, or worse, they'd think she's a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn't want and can't control.

Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else's twisted psyche. She is a participant...."

It's been a while since I read the book, but I definitely remember loving it. It was a fairly short read, but in a way that made the book work. The story wasn't so short that you didn't get a feel for the characters and it wasn't too long that the story was dragged out beyond where it was still interesting without being repetitive. The plotline was original and well developed and I would very much recommend it to anyone.

Fade, the next book, comes out in February of '09!
