The DISASTERS Summer Challenge!

Welcome to Pride Month, to summer, and to the DISASTERS Summer Challenge! Hard to believe this book turns six months old this month, but an excuse to celebrate, right? 

I’m giving away tons of prizes this month, and there’s lots of ways to enter! Details below. 

The DISASTERS read-along:

Do a first read or re-read of THE DISASTERS and discuss it with four amazing bloggers, with prizes for participation:

JUNE 7: Chapters 1–5 with Utopia State of Mind
JUNE 14: Chapters 6–10 with BookCrushin’ 
JUNE 21: Chapters 11–15 with Fangirls Are We
JUNE 28: Chapters 16–22 with Confessions of a YA Reader

Run to your local library or to any bookstore to grab a copy and join us! Every comment is an entry into the prize drawing. Look for the rafflecopter link at the bottom of each discussion post.

Other contests you can enter RIGHT NOW:

Spot the Nerd References — THE DISASTERS is peppered with references to other science fiction TV shows, movies, and more. Think you can find them? ENTER HERE. Each correctly-spotted reference is one entry into the prize drawing. Winners will be drawn randomly from everyone who submits. I recommend submitting them as you find them throughout the read-along.

Photo Challenge — Post a photo of or inspired by THE DISASTERS on Twitter or Instagram any time during the month of June using #disasterspride. I’ll be boosting some of my favorites throughout the month!

Prizes for all contests:

1st winner in each contest – Your choice of a signed advance reader copy of my upcoming YA sci-fi/fantasy mashup, SPELLHACKER, or a signed hardcover of THE DISASTERS.

2nd and 3rd winners – Swag packs including both DISASTERS and SPELLHACKER goodies.
