I think it's time for a giveaway, don't you? Thanks to the generous people at Flux, I have one copy of Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater to give away to one lucky commenter!
I'm very excited about this giveaway because I thought it was such a great read and an excellent companion novel to Lament. You can find my review of both books here and here, as well as an interview I did with Maggie last month. I've posted Maggie's awesome book trailer here before, but here it is again because it's totally worth a second viewing.
The rules for the contest are simple. To enter please leave a comment telling me your favorite ballad or love song. One extra entry if you become a follower, two for current followers. Make sure to leave me a way to contact you. The giveaway is open to U.S. and Canada residents only and closes on October 1st--Ballad's official release date!
In English, definitely Unchained Melody *sigh*
ReplyDeleteIn Spanish... yikes, too many to choose one, sorry.
Have a GREAT weekend, Angie!
I just started my first Maggie Stiefvater book this morning--"Shiver"! I had trouble putting it down and coming to work. :(
ReplyDeleteAs for love songs, I like The Fray's "Look After You."
I just got Lament to read! I'm excited cause I love stories with fairies in them.
ReplyDeleteWith regards to favorite love songs, it has to be All-4-One's I Can Love You Like That.
I'd love to be entered. I can't wait to read Ballad!

and

This book looks so amazing to me...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite love song is "Brand New Colony" by The Postal Service. He talks about how he'll do all these things to help the girl he loves, like he'll be the platform shoes, undo what heredity's done to her, so she won't have to strain to look into his eyes... stuff like that. So cute!

Hm, favorite love song... I don't know actually. I just like sad sounding, heart-rending songs about broken hearts, I guess. Maybe that says something about me?
ReplyDeleteAnd +2 because I'm an old follower. This is a great contest! And I almost forgot how soon Lament was coming out. (:

My favorite ballad has to be Always with you, Always with me by Joe Santriani. There isn't any lyrics, but the guitar work is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteEnter me please!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite love song is Stay With You by John Legend. It's not really a ballad, but it has special meaning to me because it's my fiance and my song. When times were tough he played it for me, and actually started to sing to me! It was a huge surprise, because he hates singing in front of people, although he has a beautiful voice. I cried my eyes out, because it portrayed so many things about us at the time. I still cry when I hear it.
