All I want is to know a little about you. I have a bunch of new faces in that little followers box and I'd like to know more about you. Are you a writer? A reader? What are you reading? How did you find me? Anything goes. All you need to do is be a follower (new or old) and leave a comment telling me something about you and you're eligible to win MATCHED. How easy is that? I promise that from page one you'll be hooked...

Society matched them, but love set them free.
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate...until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Oooh! I'm entering! I can be reached at jenniferwalkup@gmail.com.:)
Okay, you already know that I'm a writer, so I'll tell you something you might not know about me.
I'm a cocktail!
I was born in the Philippines, my mother is Filipino (with a pinch of Chinese), and my father is American (with German, Irish, and Scottish roots). I'm also a former military kid, so we lived in various places around the world. So whenever someone asks me where I'm from I have a hard time answering, lol.
I'm a writer. :)
I'm just finished read The Iron Daughter by ajulie akagawa and it was great.
I have a writers blog, I luv YA.
My email is ezmirelda(dot)d(at)gmail(dot)com.

I am a reader and a writer. I just finished reading Cryers Cross by Lisa McMann. I have a YA book blog.
Great contest! Thanks
Little something about me... Hmmm... Well, sometimes when I'm browsing books in the store, I like to smell them. Or was that too much information? :P
I'm a writer. Just finished my third manuscript and I started using the snowflake method for a story that has been brewing in my mind for quite a while.
I'm from Argentina. My books are multicultural with a pinch of magical realism. I love futbol, Flamenco music and books. I'm reading Linger now. Love that series.
Thanks for the opportunity to participate. I don't remember how I found you, but even though I don't comment much, I've been a follower for a while.
Great giveaway :)
I'm a reader, and a writer (mostly in my head). I just finished reading Linger by Maggie Steifvater (for the third time..just can't get enough of those wolf boys!)

Hi, thanks for the great contest! :)
I was born in the Philippines. I am a huge bookworm and I have a huge library that I never bother to fix. :)) My mom is going to be one of the craziest people you'll meet, my dad? The most childish. :) I study at a Private Catholic School even though I'm not even Catholic. Ironic. I have a dream to leave the Philippines and move to the USA. I am never without a book, I get at least two a week. I have an incredibly rude, insensitive little sister. I have a best friend I tease a lot and her nickname is Berby. :)
The story of my life... :)

I'm currently reading Nightshade by Andrea Cremer (coming out Oct)- but no, I don't hog ARCs...though I do love them. I have a *long* list of incoming 2010 YA-debuts and cannot wait for Mockingjay or Last Sacrifice VA#6!
Such a fab contest!

Something about me. Hmm, I'm a blogger (Addicted 2 Novels), and my favorite literary boys are Keenan from Wicked Lovely, Patch from Hush, Hush, Jace from TMI, Peeta from The Hunger Games, and Sam from Shiver/Linger. I literally dream about these boys and get all giddy when I hear their names. I would gladly fight any girl for them, muhahahaha!!! :D

sth about me?
hmmm I hate Onions! Like, really hate them with passion!

Nice giveaway. Thanks - I have double jointed thumbs!
Hmm what can I tell you about myself. I occasionally bother you with writing questions so you know I'm a writer and you also know I'm a singer through my time on the Fallen Archangel forum.
What you may not know is that through my singing I've had the opportunity to travel. I've been to Europe and I've also been on a cross-country tour of the US all before I was 18 years old.
Very cool giveaway!
