ARCs!!!

Look at this beautiful chunk of paper I got in the mail:

I love it! I can't wait for the hardback now. Just over two months to publication. I'll run a contest to win an ARC beginning Monday, since a lot more people seem to check in on that day. Be sure to come back and enter.

In the meanwhile, it's been a long time since I've mentioned the incredible book trailer that was created for MAZE. Has everyone seen it? Check it out:

Is the contest of the "Winner is determined by the person who has blogged about wanting to be BFFs with James Dashner/pimped him out the most on Twitter/Facebook" variety? Man, I hope so.

*squee* I can't wait to read it. And THE MAZE RUNNER trailer is still beautiful, even after seeing it a couple of times.

Dash,

So its officially out! Now it means I have to chase the mail man down for the next few days and make sure he doesn't pimp my ARC! Super excited and if RH doesn't have any issues with it ill be reviewing it almost certainly the same day it arrives. Can't wait!

Well, looks like I'm the 13th person to drool over the new ARC. Hope that's not unlucky for me. 0_o Not that I'm superstitious.

It looks soooo cool! Please have the contest as soon as possible! I definitely want to have the ARC! What I wouldn't give to find out what happens next!

Watch out for the wolves. You really gave us a GAH! >,< *facepalm* feeling at the end of book 1, you know. ^_~

Carrie Ryan said...

Finally ARCs! I might just have to put in a call to someone to get one of those -- been dying for it!

Anonymous said...

Wow! I am SO excited to read it! I can hardly wait! :-)

I have kids coming into the library asking for the Maze Runner! I can't wait for the Scorch Trials! We are all looking forward to its release.

An Arc! That would be amazing!

Vanessa M. said...

I feel like I've been absent forever even though I haven't been...

Everybody, you must know that this is my arc. Mine. All mine...

Precious......

Jackson Porter said...

Nope, I co-own a site called www.thegladers.info, Dashner said it would involve owning a site.

Everyone knows its mine.


Anyway, Dashner, you still need to blog about 24 series finale too...

Eric said...

i hope i get it! been watching the site for something like thie since last year! i really want to experiance the awe-inspiring story behind the scorch, and the secrets it holds!

By the way, i have the maze runner, and i cant stop reading it! when i ended it for the first time, i knew there was, or was going to be, a second book. Good luck writing The Death Cure!

Katie said...

Can't wait to read this!!!

Leesie Jones said...

OH MY GOODNESS! *hyper venilates* I really really really really really really really really really really need one. I neeeeeeeeeeed one.
If you need a good story to choose me, here it is:
Well, recently I was walking down the street when BANG! A guy with black-gloved hands grabbed me! (Did I mention I was in New York at the time?) He pulled me behind the brick wall and pushed me hard against the frozen cement. HE took a sharp knife out of his pocket and put it towards my neck. I didn't know what to do so i kept quiet. He then demaded that if I didn't give him an ARC of The Scorch Trials, he would hunt me down and murder me by hanging me by my toenails. Luckily, I got out alive. But you see, I need an ARC.

Okay, okay. Obviously, the story was not real but it proves to you how much I want an ARC. :)

Awesome!!! I'm sosososo excited!!

Vanessa M. said...

Hem, hem. Jackson, you will fail in your quest. I may be a thousand miles away but it will be ME who wins, not you.

Jackson Porter said...

No, no, Vanessa, in case you forgot, he named a character Jackson in his book.

Let's forget the part where Jackson dies, but,

see, I ME MYSELF will win this ARC.

And Dashner, just noticed that I read an ARC of the first 13th Reality, that's why it took so long for book 2 to come out.

Jackson Porter said...

Oh, Lula, I AM BFFs with James Dashner.

Ah! It's so beautiful! ^.^

historygirl said...

Good deed for the week: I'm going through my kids bookshelves, cleaning out the books way too low for their reading ability (keeping some that they love though) and donating them to the local daycare. :) its a win, win!

Brooke said...

Book trailers should all be like this!

Unknown said...

ok my good deed that i just did yesterday was i cleaned out my drawers and grabbed all of the clothes that either didnt fit me or i wont wear (which is A LOT of clothes) and donated them to charity. Im not really sure what charity because my dad took it. but either way it was a good deed! and i also gave a dollar to someone asking for money in the street. :)

danny said...

Is ben coming back...because his part in the ending really just...I DONT UNDERSTAND D:

and i hope people don't die in the "Schorch trails" ...sounds extremely childish,but idk people dying in the maze runner seem to have a stronger "death impact" on me than other books XD

Tiffani said...
