In My Bookbag (8)...

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. Every week you are to share the books you received that week. It could either be ones you bought, or gotten at the library, and ones that you'd receive to review on the blog. I am calling it 'In My Bookbag' because I am always taking books out of the library!

Transcend Time Title Hunt...

Welcome to the Transcend Time Saga Title Hunt! The title hunt is the reveal of the title for the final novel in the Transcend Time Saga. Each of the bloggers participating in the hunt have been given a letter. Hop around to the blogs participating to hunt for the letters. (And remember that two of the letters are used twice, so the title is eight letters long.)

Be quick with unscrambling the title because this voucher is only valid for a week (so it'll end on March 3)!

Once you've unscrambled the title, go to Michelle Madow's blog and use the title name to enter the giveaway for a voucher for an advanced e-copy of the final Transcend Time novel! (She is giving away a voucher because the novel is planned to be released at the end of the year, and she hasn't finished writing it yet! This voucher will ensure that you will receive an advance e-copy once they are available).

The letter for this blog is: E

Well seeing as though I'm only on page, erm, ten of Remembrance (Michelle was so nice to send me a PDF of it) I can't really tell you what I hope happens but judging from the description on Goodreads I guess we can hope that Chelsea and Lizzie don't end up killing each other (I know a little over dramatic) and that every one gets their true love. When I'm done reading this then I'll actually write something that is believable. :)

Michelle would also like you to know that the e-version of Remembrance is on sale for $0.99 until her USA tour ends in April. So go grab it while you can!

Below is a list of all the blogs participating in the 'Hunt' so check them out for letter to!

Project Tell Taylor...

Michelle Madow's debut novel Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. She talked all about it in a blog entry a few months ago, discussing how Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. She even wrote a letter to Taylor Swift and sent it to her, along with a signed book!

It's been a few months now, and she has yet to hear back from Taylor that she received the letter and book. She really wants to tell Taylor about how inspiring she and her music have been to her, but since Taylor Swift is an international superstar, she’s a little hard to reach. This is where YOUR help comes into play! Michelle is giving away the biggest prize pack she's offered yet, and the ways to enter to win are by telling Taylor Swift about Remembrance.

The Goal: Get Taylor Swift to Tweet about Remembrance!

Goodreads: Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?

Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

Michelle has asked us to write about what inspires us. For me it would definitely be the books that I read, what I hear from my friends, and what I see on a regular basis. My friends and I write 'scenarios' and 'letters' that are actually ongoing stories for each other. When we write these we have what we call 'hepiphanies' and that's what inspires the next letter.

Now for those of you wanting to know what you win...
