Sarah talked about how she basically wrote this after Throne of Glass, in 2009, and was waiting for her agent to come back from maternity leave so they could try selling ToG and Sarah couldn't just sit around doing nothing. Then suddenly this idea came to her when she was listening to music and the first scene just came to her. It was a remarkable story to listen to! Plus Sarah is just a riot!
She is one the sweetest authors I've ever met, though all authors have been incredible! But Sarah is pretty awesome! Loved seeing her and Susan Dennard together last year, those two are a laugh riot together! I loved hearing how they write fan fiction of their own books together. And that if someone died, they'd be living in the other author's world somewhere! Which made me happy in a sense...! LOL!
And because I was feeling...whimsy, I decided I had to buy an extra copy of A Court of Thorns and Roses to giveaway on my blog! A random contest during my time of terror as I am still trying to find a job! But I thought I could swing one more giveaway, because Sarah J. Maas people! And I truly freaking LOVED this one!
So I am giving away a SIGNED copy of ACOTAR here on the blog! US only I'm afraid! Working on getting a job so I can do a big blowout giveaway because I owe you guys SOOOOO much! Keep your fingers crossed! I had what felt like a GREAT interview Friday and I have another on Tuesday, so fingers crossed! ;)

I read all the books that are out in the Throne of Glass series so that's awesome!! I absolutely adore that series. I'm still waiting for my copy of ACOTAR but my friend really wants to read ACOTAR too but her parents won't buy her a copy. I would love to win this for her because she's one of my only reading buddies :D Thanks for the giveaway!

I have read the Throne of Glass series and love her writing! Thus I would love to read the next one! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't started Throne of Glass yet but I'm a big fantasy fan and have heard the best things about her books.
ReplyDeleteI thought her Throne of Glass series was okay (so far)... nothing super special like it seems to be with everyone else. Throne of Glass was okay, Crown of Midnight was slightly worse, and Heir of Fire - well, that one was MUCH better, in my opinion. I've read ACOTAR, but I really want a signed copy! Thank you so much, Jessica!

I've been reading her Throne of Glass series. I like it enough to be interested in this one, and I was more intrigued after hearing that it's probably more New Adult than Young Adult

I absolutely LOVE her ToG series! Sorry that you didn't like it though. :( But I'm so happy you loved this one! I can't wait to read it! GAH I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteI loved Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight and can't wait to read her take on the Beauty and the Beast tale with ACOTAR:)
ReplyDeleteI've read all her Throne of Glass series except for Heir of Fire but I'm dying to read it before Queen Of Shadows comes out. I also read ACOTAR before it came out and I can't wait for more Sarah J. Maas books :D
ReplyDeleteI've read all of her books, and want more, lol
ReplyDeleteI have read her Throne of Glass series up to Heir of Fire and I can't wait to read ACOTAR because she is such an amazing writer and I know the story is going to be as epic as her previous books! Thank you so much for this amazing chance! :)
ReplyDeleteSarah J. Maas is an awesome author, and this retelling will be brilliant because of how she writes. So excited. Thanks for the chance to win this book.
