CONTEST: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

50 comments  

This contest is now CLOSED! Thank you for entering


A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Laini Taylor and I was in awe because Daughter of Smoke and Bone is my absolute favorite book of the year. It was beautifully written, poetic and romantic beyond belief and I cannot wait for the next installment in this series. Since I had the good fortune of meeting Laini I wanted to share that with a lucky winner.

AROUND THE WORLD, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil’s supply of human teeth has grown dangerously low.

And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.


Contest Item: A signed hardcover copy of Daughter of Smoke and Bone and some awesome tattoos.
Contest Question: If you could travel anywhere in the world to collect teeth for Brimstone where would you most want to go and why?
Contest Rules:
1) Answer the question provided and also leave you email so that I may contact you in case you win.
2) Must be over 13 years of age and able to receive contest goodies in the mail.
3) Open Internationally
4) Contest ends November 25th, 2011. Midnight PST



GOOD LUCK!!

    I'd love to go to India--it's known for being both beautiful and dangerous...so that'd sound like a perfect place for an adventure. Also, there's a LOT of people there so it'd be a good place to hide!

    Scotland. It's a place I've always wanted to go, but I have a feeling I'd end up picking somewhere like Italy or Spain instead of it if I had to pay for airline tickets. This would give me the chance to go!

    Russia. I'm not sure how many people know this, but in Red Square, there is an ice cream cart with the world's best chocolate soft-serve cones. Might as well rot my own teeth out happy while I collect the others...

    I would go to Istanbul, Turkey! Why? I find their history fascinating and the juxtaposition of the city in 2 continents, Europe & Asia, is really cool. I've stood in 2 states line-by-line. I'd love to do the same with continents.

    France or Japan. I've just always wanted to go to both, and looking for Brimstones seems like a good time as ever to go visit, hey?

    Thanks for the giveaway! Also, it was nice to see some Australia answers. :P I don't live in the areas with the really cool animals but I do see them when I travel a bit.
