YA SCAVENGER HUNT!

9/30/2015

Welcome to YA Scavenger Hunt! This bi-annual event was first organized by author Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to exclusive bonus material from their favorite authors...and a chance to win some awesome prizes! At this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize--one lucky winner will receive one signed book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for 72 hours!

Go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page to find out all about the hunt. There are EIGHT contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the RED TEAM--but there is also a BLUE team, GOLD team, GREEN team, ORANGE team, TEAL team, PURPLE team, and a PIN K team for a chance to win a whole different set of signed books!

If you'd like to find out more about the hunt, see links to all the authors participating, and see the full list of prizes up for grabs, go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page.

SCAVENGER HUNT POST

Today, I am hosting Kimberly Derting on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt!

Kimberly Derting is the author of the award-winning THE BODY FINDER series, THE PLEDGE trilogy, and THE TAKING and THE REPLACED (the first two books in THE TAKING trilogy).

Her books have been translated into 15 languages, and both THE BODY FINDER and THE PLEDGE were YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults selections.

She lives in the Pacific Northwest, where the gloomy weather is ideal for writing anything dark and creepy. Her three beautiful (and often mouthy) children serve as an endless source of inspiration and frequently find the things they say buried in the pages of their mother's books, or on Twitter for the world to see.

Find out more information by checking out Kim's website or find more about Kim's book here!

I can't wait to win a book by Amy Plum. If I had a magical power, it would be Spirit Walking because I could go to different worlds and see so much.

Angela Myron

A spirit walker, that's fantastic! Good luck in the hunt, Hannah!

So many authors I would love to win a book from!! This is where I usually learn about new ones I end up loving too! If I had a magical power it would be to clone myself to get done all the things I want to get done and still have time for me!

10/1/2015 11:41:34 am

I know! All of these books look amazing to me, too. I think your super power is fantastic! Good luck with the hunt, Shauna.

If I had magical powers it would be teleportation because I live far from my family. Not only would I be able to visit them whenever I wanted but I could go anywhere in the world and experience all the wonder. Thanks for being part of the scavenger hunt!

I would love to win a book from Christina Farley. If I would have a magical power, I would want it to be able to fulfill all my wishes because that way I would be able to do whatever I want without worrying about anything! :D

My author that I originally joined for was Colleen Houck, I am obsessed with her books. I would like to have time travel as my superhero.

Merisha Abbott

Gaby Perez

10/2/2015 04:49:56 pm

If I had a superpower it's be controlled over the elements. Because it's cool. I could shake the earth, Shoot water andfire from my fingerprints, control air. Pretty cool.

10/2/2015 04:54:30 pm

I joined the hunt mostly for Rachel Vincent but I love reading so I wouldn't mind getting really any book

Sarah

10/2/2015 05:22:13 pm

Delia Chavez

Its really hard to pick just one there are so many amazing authors to choose from Ill go with Aprilynne Pike!!

Sarah M

10/3/2015 03:37:15 am

Hmmm, it's hard to pick one (and I am terrible with names), but I'm gonna say either Beth Revis or Aprilynne Pike. I loved Beth's Across the Universe books and the handful of Aprilynne's I've gotten my nose in.

Amy Hart

I'd be happy to win any YA book cause I don't have many. Marie Lu sticks out though for one I'd like or Sarah J. Maas.

If I had a magical power it would be the ability to conjure anything I want or need because who doesn't want to be able to conjure up a cute new outfit, or money for rent, lol. I know, I am lazy. Lol. But it's only a dream. :)

Jocelyn B

If I had a superpower, I think I'd really like Supergirl's powers. She does a lot of good and I think she's the only superhero with a super kitty cat! :) I also hope to win a book by Ryan Graudin.

If I had a magical power it would be the ability to make myself invisible because sometimes I just don't want to be bothered.

A book from Mr Adi Alsaid, please! <3

Aracellis

10/3/2015 02:45:49 pm

I can't wait to win a book of C.J. Redwine. If I had a magical power, it would be time travel so I can travel by night, and do all the thing that I didn't by day, like reading university's staff.

Rachel link

10/3/2015 03:28:40 pm

Rachel vincent. But honestly, anyone. Because I love reading.

If I had a superpower, it'd be teleportation, simply so i could visit my family when I wanted, instead of when I could afford it.

If I had a magical power, it would be photographic memory because I have a hard time studying my lessons. So I could just look at my notes and then boom! I can remember it all well. Amazing!
