DESTINED ARC Contest!!! Share the LOVE!!!

I'm alive! I really am!! I'm been revising two books and I'm afraid that keeps me super busy. But don't worry! I haven't forgotten you all!!!

Destined is set to launch in just less than THREE MONTHS!!! I can hardly believe it!!! And it is that time of year again.

Valentine's Day!!! Every year since 2009 I have had a contest around Valentine's Day for one of my ARCs and I certainly can't close out the series without continuing the tradition!



(Clickie for biggie)

But this year, I'm upping the prizes.

2 First Prizes= An ARC of DESTINED plus a Valentine's treat bag!

3 Second prizes= A set of Wings custom soaps and lotion plus a Valentine's treat bag (I'll bag them separately so your candy doesn't taste like soap, LOL!)

5 3rd prizes= Valentine's treat bags!:D

Entering is very simple. Just share the Wings series love. Somewhere. Twitter, Facebook, school, at the library, wherever. Tell someone how much you love the Wings series. I don't need a link, or proof, or anything like that, because, ultimately, this contest--especially at the close of the series--isn't about sales, it's about the Wings series. How much I love it and, hopefully, how much you love it too. So leave a comment, tell me you spread the Wings love (you don't even have to tell me how--honor system *wink*) and you're entered.

You must enter by midnight (my time . . .uh . . . MST at the moment--AZ doesn't do DST, so it changes) on Valentine's Day and I will announce winners on February 15.

Easy peasy!!! Go spread the love!!!!!

Ciao!

P.S. If you want to spread the love in pictorial form, you can find jpegs of all the books and covers and etc. at www.aprilynnepike.com

Hi Aprilynne,

I can't wait to read what happens next in your final book,and at the same time I don't want them to end.
I have spread the love since reading Wings, and I will continue long after Destined. I have all fingers crossed she picks Tamani.

p.s. Any chance you might start selling the seedling ring necklace. I know I would buy one?

obviously like your website but you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will certainly come again again.

Much Wings love shared! I just wanted to add that when I first read Wings, season 5 of SYTYCD was on and the pair Kayla and Kupono became my mental image of Laurel and Tamani. Wish they could play them in the movie. Love the series! Thanks!

Anonymous said...

Hi Aprilynne! I have spread the Wings love by telling all of my friends about them, and they're reading and loving them right now! I also asked my local libraries to purchase the books so that readers can become addicted to the series as much as me. :)
The Wings series is ultimately what got me into reading. The only books I would read were the Harry Potter series, but in 8th grade when your book came out, I picked it up because of the reviews it was getting, and I fell in love with it! Since then, I have read over 200 books, and I share the reviews on my blog. Thank you for giving me the love of reading I have today.

I fell in love with your books three years ago when my friend bought me Wings for my birthday. Then, it got lost before I got the chance to read it. Then, I found it again. And as soon as I read it, I fell in love, I repeat! <3

I only hope to be able to write as fantastically as you one day!

Anticipating amazingness,

The Wings Series is officially amazing. I luv luv luv luv luv LUV it! :D
I have this weird little tradition of always reading one when I go the dentist office with my mom. The day of the release of the next book, I always ask her if she can schedule her dentist appointment that day so we can go to the bookstore then to the dentist and I can read!
She usually complies, too! Your series has brought us closer together and I thank you for that. :)
OMG I JUST LOOOOOVE WINGS!!! <3333
Please tell me she ends up with Tamani...
But no, David's amazing too...
I'M SO TORN!
