13RW Going On 30: A Contest

According to the most recent list, Thirteen Reasons Why has been a New York Times bestseller for 29 weeks. In other words...it's going on 30. Woo-hoo! And if it makes it to 30, one of you will win a big ol' bag o' goodies.


Here's what you'll get with this themed prize:

• A bookbag from the San Luis Obispo library, which is where I worked when I wrote most of Thirteen Reasons Why.
• A signed copy of my book.
• A copy of the audiobook, signed by me and my wife. JoanMarie performs an original song, Soul Alone, at the end of the production.
• A t-shirt from the world's coolest publisher, Razorbill.
• A DVD of 13 Going On 30.
• A pound of Wild Women Blend coffee (which inspired the Hairy Chest Blend in the book) from Linnaea's Café (which inspired Monet's Garden Café).
• Fifty Fandango Bucks, in honor of the place Hannah and Clay worked one summer.
• The Monster at the End of this Book (starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover), which is the most suspenseful book ever written.
• An audiocassette recording of Cassette 5: Side A, with me reading as Clay and JoanMarie reading as Hannah.
• A booklight, because you won't be able to put down The Monster at the End of this Book even if it is past your bedtime.
• A Buffalo Tom c.d. which includes the song Larry. I listened to that song over and over while writing the final two pages.
• Strawberry lipgloss, in honor of Clay's first kiss.

For a chance to win, all you've gotta do is leave your name in the comments section of this post between now and Saturday. Every name will go in a bag and one will be drawn at random. Come back on May 24th to find out if you've won.

Good luck!

And thank you!!!


RULES CLARIFICATION: Leaving an e-mail, MySpace, or blog address will make it much easier and quicker to contact you. But if you simply leave your name, you are still entered.
