Also, I have the first SSC giveaway coming at you! I'm giving away my copy of A Million Suns by Beth Revis!  One lucky participant has the opportunity to win this January sequel--just fill out the Rafflecopter form below!  Haven't signed up for the challenge yet?  You can do that HERE! There are lots of levels that you can participate at--pick whatever you're comfortable committing to! :)

Also, if you've been blogging for six months or longer, you can consider joining Around the World ARC Tours.  They have been posting quite a few 2012 sequels lately, and I'm sure that the trend will continue into the new year!

Anyway, the giveaway is International, although I'm sure that my wallet is going to protest that fact. :) (Note: International winner MAY receive a Book Depot order instead, depending on $$) Also, maybe you haven't had a chance to read Across the Universe?  Well, then here's the deal, if you would prefer, I'm totally willing to get you a paperback copy of that instead. I mean, you can't read the sequel unless you've read the first one, right?  So....enter away!!
