Yes, it’s that easy!
So which three books are you hoping to win? One is an autographed copy of Thirteen Reasons Why (I’ve got connections). The other books, Tangled and The Everafter, weren’t written by me, but I loved reading them both and would love to share those reading experiences with you. In fact, I enjoyed the books so much that their jackets contain miniature fan letters written by me (otherwise known as blurbs).
The first book, The Everafter, was written by debut author Amy Huntley. I first cracked open this book on a cross-country flight and was instantly intrigued by the concept. But I felt there was no way the originality of the premise would hold up through an entire novel. I was totally wrong! It’s a very creative and satisfying book and I stayed on the plane a few minutes after it landed and everyone else got off just so I could finish it.

Madison Stanton doesn’t know where she is or how she got there. But she does know this—she is dead. And alone, in a vast, dark space. The only company she has in this place are luminescent objects that turn out to be all the things Maddy lost while she was alive. And soon she discovers that with these artifacts, she can re-experience—and sometimes even change—moments from her life.I began reading Tangled, by Printz-honor winning Carolyn Mackler, while aboard a plane, as well. But that flight was a shorter one and they wouldn’t let me stay in my seat after we landed to keep reading, so when I got to my hotel I immediately ordered room service and stayed up until I finished the book. Ms. Mackler is the Queen of Characters. I would read one of her books simply to fall in love with the people she writes about, and the four stories tangled together in her latest book are just as real and captivating as the characters who inhabit them.
Her first kiss.
A trip to Disney World.
Her sister’s wedding.
A disastrous sleepover.
In reliving these moments, Maddy learns illuminating and sometimes frightening truths about her life—and death.
This is a haunting and ultimately hopeful novel about the beauty of even the most insignificant moments—and the strength of true love even beyond death.

Paradise wasn’t supposed to suck.
Not the state of being, but a resort in the Caribbean.
Jena, Dakota, Skye, and Owen are all there for different reasons, but at Paradise their lives become tangled together in ways none of them can predict. Paradise will change them all.
It will change Jena, whose first brush with romance takes her that much closer to having a life, and not just reading about those infinitely cooler and more exciting.
It will change Dakota, who needs the devastating truth about his past to make him realize that he doesn’t have to be a jerk just because people think he’s one.
It will change Skye, a heartbreakingly beautiful actress, who must come to terms with the fact that for once she has to stop playing a role or face the consequences.
And it will change Owen, who has never risked anything before and who will take the leap from his online life to a real one all because of a girl he met at Paradise….
From confused to confident and back again, one thing’s certain: Four months after it all begins, none of them will ever be the same.

Hi-
My name is Kelsey Kieffer-Jones. I just finished your book today. 13 reasons why was one of the most mesmerizing books I have ever read. It's like when I opened your book I was in a whole new world and I felt like I was Clay Jensen and this was my adventure. Thanks for being so inspiring. It has always been my dream to be an author and your book made it ever so more appealing. Thank you!
Colton Stice
Loved 13 reasons why, brilliantly written. And both these books sound amazing.

Sounds fantastic! I've already got a copy of 13RW, but if I win it will be a great chance to pass it on to someone else.
I already own Thirteen Reasons, but I wouldn't mind having that Jay guy sign it. ;)
The other books sound fab too.

Everything sounds great. I'd love to read them all.
Also, the book covers for TH1RTEEN R3ASONS are all so beautiful.
Bye, now :)
Hi Jay,
I'm always up for free books. They'll end up on my bookshelf at school, to be read by unsuspecting middle schoolers.
Huzzah to philanthropy!
Charlie
Wow--what a treat to win these books! I'm a middle school librarian and would love to share all three with my kids. (Obviously I'd have to swap out my signed copy of "Thirteen Reasons Why" for the one I already own, lol.) Great giveaway to kick off the New Year!
P.S. What will you do when airlines no longer let you read a book during the final hour of flight? (Boo-hiss!)
I just have to say... your book was incredible... an inspiration I would even dare say. Thank you for the recommendations for other books as well. I very much look forward to reading them!
wow, all the books look so interesting, cool!
Brandon Banton.
Tangled looks really good. Gotta say, Mr. Asher, your book has inspired me. :)
Morgan Allan, or Canada, would very much like those free books. You rock Jay!

They all sound like awesome reads. Of course I'm going to win! I'm a total optimist!
It is so cool to put a name to a face. I love Thirteen Reasons. It sparked meaningful conversations with my two daughters. Most students I suggest this book for have a need to talk about it later. Thank you for writing it.
