***UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF POST***
Have you been to the Thirteen Reasons Why website recently? Along with the YouTube videos, Hannah's map, and podcasts, readers have been posting mini-reviews, and we're fast approaching the 13,000th review!
In honor of that upcoming milestone, I'm giving away two signed copies of the book to two of my favorite people. And one of those people could be you!
At the end of the day that we reach 13,000, I'll randomly select two people who've left comments on this post. So check back, and when I announce the winners, I'll tell you how to give me your mailing address.
And now for the preview...
This summer, Thirteen Reasons Why will finally be coming out in paperback! If you haven't already seen the announcement at Publishers Weekly, check it out. The cover has been altered slightly, leaving Hannah on the swing while replacing the background with silver foil. I can't wait to hold this shiny baby in my hands!
UPDATE:
Because a lot more people have been leaving comments than I expected, I'm going to double the amount of books being given away, so now there are four books up for grabs! And in case you aren't particularly strategy-minded, if you leave a comment here and at the above website, we'll reach 13,000 even sooner. And the sooner the contest ends, the less time others will have to enter it, making your chances even better.
Of course, I'm only saying this because I get impatient easily and I want to give the books to four of you right now!!!

Oooh! I want to win this book. It's next on my list to check out from the library (library = lame for supporting other authors, i know, but i'm working with limited means here). i just attended the NYC SCBWI conference and you were still the talk of the town. So congratulations and holy shite 13,000 reviews. go you.
all best,
Corrie Wachob
You're amazing Jay... 13k reviews on a fantastic book.
Even though we worked together promoting your book, I never did get a signed copy. Maybe this will be my chance! ~ Amy Walter
Congratulations! 13,000 reviews is A LOT of reviews! Mindboggling, really. Finally out it ppb too!
My fave foreign cover is the one from The Netherlands.

I would love to win an autographed copy of this book. I read it for the first time in summer of '09 and i've read it countless times since then. The message of the book was fantastic and the style of writing is so unique. Even though I know what happens everytime i pick it up I'm still hooked. by far one of my favorite books of all time :)
I loved this book. I was sorry that I missed when you came to my school, but hey, I got your autograph! Though you spelled my name wrong, but that was rather amusing. Still, I loved your book and thought that the way you wrote it was amazing
What a wonderful way to celebrate this milestone. I always promote your book in the Professional Development course on YAL I do. Plus, my students are using your book for their final projects this semester.
Congratulations!
Laura
This was a great book!
Absolutely loved this book!! It is one of the books that I try to get everyone I know to read.
Jay, the more I study bullying, the more I realize you hit every note in 13 R3Asons Why. Not only is in an incredible read--it is probably the best tool for sensitizing kids and teachers, and for pushing us toward a culture of intolerance--intolerance for bullying! Thanks for speaking for those who have fallen silent--and for those who will refuse to go under!
I can't wait for the paperback to come out! I have been "dying" (not the best word to use) to use this book in a teen book club at my library, but I haven't been able to since its not in paperback yet. Thanks for writing such an amazing book! It's one of my all time favorites.
Way to go, Jay! I really enjoyed reading your book, and would love my very own copy. That silver foil cover looks great. 13k reviews is fantastic! Congrats!
I guess waiting twelve years to get published was worth it since this is what the wait was all about! You rock!
Congratulations on approaching an awesome and numerically significant milesone! :)
I love this book. It saved my life and changed the way I interact with people.
I've been meaning to re-read it so I can post a review on my site. I let a friend borrow it and she loved it!
It is awesome to hear that 13 Reasons Why will be in paperback soon! My students would LOVE to have an autogaphed copy. I have an autographed shoebox for my booktalks. Thanks, Jay and congratulations!!!
I would LOVE to win your book Jay! Congrats!! You had me at SHINY!
We just recently had a bullying issue with our daughter on the bus. Thank goodness for being able to keep our tempers under control & for camera's and audio on buses! The boy that was bullying our daughter will HOPEFULLY never do it again to anyone!
This book will make me cry huh?
Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow. 13,000 reviews is quite a milestone,Jay! I would love to win a copy for my H.S. classroom. My students LOVE your book. :-)
Message here from New Zealand - yes, W-A-Y downunder... I have just read of the phenomenal success of your book in my PW email and want very much to read it and see just why... What is it about this story, your writing, that is touching so many YA readers? (I didn't see the Kiwi cover in that colossal list from throughout the world ;-) But even if there was one, a copy would be so much better coming from the actual man who penned/typed himself into the literary history books. I could come up with 13 reasons why I want this, but it's simple really - it sounds good. I want to read it! (And I like shiny things too, especially book covers!!!) Congratulations...
An amazing book,I loved how the paperback looks, congrats on those 13,000 reviews, the book deserves it.
-Mariana S
so happy for you
Wow, congratulations to all those reviews! Just left mine :D I <3 13 Reasons Why!
13000 reviews!!! Wow! I'm re-reading 13RW at the moment, I think this is the 20-something-th time I've read it...
Wow, congratulations, Jay! :D You remain one of my favourite YA authors, so hurry and get that new book of yours into the churner. Can't wait to read it.
I'm not sure if you'd even be willing to send internationally, so yeah . . . I guess I enter only if I can. But I'd be willing to pay off the excess fees. Anything for a signed copy of Th1rteen R3asons Why. *creepy smile*
Oh pretty! I love the paperback cover. I want to get it just to put it next to my hardcover xD. And congrats on the upcoming milestone its time for some foil confetti!
Nice cover!
Never read this book but I'm looking foward to it.
Congrats for the 13.000 reviews ;)
I've been dying to read this book ever since I first heard about it, would love to win a copy!
WOW! This looks really great. And I'm not just saying that as in "I'll say anything to win this book", I am seriously looking forward to read this. It's one of those books that you look at the cover and you just know it's going to become one of your favorite books of all times, you know what I mean? I know, I know, we're not supposed to judge the book by its cover, but I think that only works metaphorically. Personally, I've been judging books by their cover all my life, and very rarely have I been wrong. But anyway, this book is way more about the cover, I know that. I don't even know why I broght this cover thing up. May I start over?
This book sounds great, can't wait to read it and if it's a sign copy, EVEN BETTER.
and that's that. :D
I have to admit, every time I went into a Barnes and Noble, I would crack open a book and watching the printing numbers climb. Really, congratulations and superb job.
Cool cover! Would love to win!
Wow, 13,000 reviews...that's amazing! Congratulations on that milestone, and thanks for including us in your joy!
Hey great! The cover of your book in paperback looks soo very good, cannot wait to experience its content aswell:)
13 Reasons Why is definitely one of my favorite YA books of all time. I also enjoyed listening to the audio version. Awesome narrators.
First of all: Congratulations! I've heard lots of great things about your book but can't find it in my country. Hope I win one of these. And I love the coverS! All of them.

Congrats on the impending birth of your new paperback!
I already own the hard cover, but no way would I turn down a signed copy of this. SO pretty!
Niki Moss
I really loved this book. I think all high school kids should be required to read it b/c I really thing it could change a lot of lives. So congrats on everything, and thanks for such an introspective look at the effects of bullying.
One of my HS students asked me to order this book. Read the reviews and I have to get this book in our library asap !
Wow, thats really cool about almost getting 13,000 reviews. Congratulations! I haven't read this book but I have heard a little about it and would love to try it. So crossing my fingers in hopes of winning!
Thanks,
Stormi
13RW is SO worthy of 13k reviews and MORE! Congratulations, sir. :)
Here's to hoping I win the paperback!
Congratulations. I would LOVE to win your book Jay! I was reading reviews last night. If I don't win I'll be parting with genuine money - that is even more SHINY! ;)
I think these kinds of books are very valuable for teens since they broach topics that might be hard to talk to adults on. I would love to have a copy.
terilhack at gmail dot com
This has been on my TBR I cannot wait to read it. I think the topics addressed in 13k are valuable and from what I have read on it in reviews, I wish I had a copy when I was a teen and going through problems.
Thank you for putting copies out there for us readers.

Congratulations on reaching 13,000 reviews! That's amazing! My sister loved this book, it's on my TBR list! I can't wait to read it (: thanks for the great giveaway!

13,000 reviews? Crazy. Congratulations for inspiring so many readers.
I've been wanting to read 13 Reasons for a while but just haven't had a chance to and now after reading what my friend posted today (http://www.wastepaperprose.com/2011/02/reading-therapy.html) i want to even more. Books to impact you in so many different ways and i love that books like 13 Reasons exist in the world!
Congrats on this totally crazy milestone!
I missed a chance to get my copy signed last year due to . . . erm, being suicidal (seriously), so this is awesome!
I read this book last year and it changed how I look at life. It is incredible...if I can cut my review down, I will post the mini-review version of it on the website.
I'm looking forward to getting the paperback copy!
This book is one of the BEST I've ever read. I was so intrigued while reading it. &it was so beautifully written. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. :)

Holy shit that's a lot of reviews. I haven't read your book yet but I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm still working on my full review of 13 Reasons Why, but I have to say the audio was incredible...listening to the tapes added so much to the experience. I can't wait to read it now...and to read a signed copy would be fantastic!
great book! i love how the paperback looks! congradulations on the views!

I'm so glad this is finally coming out in paperback! My 8th graders have been devouring this book for two years. THANK YOU for writing such an important novel for teens. It's definitely at the top of my recommendations list for my students!

Would give it to my niece, who is FINALLY old enough to read it!
I absolutely LOVE 13RW!! I borrowed it from a friend and fell in love so I really want my own copy, but haven't had enough money to buy the list of about a million books I want! But if I were to win a signed copy, I would feel so lucky!! I would be the happiest I have ever been!!
I have been searching for yet another book that can actually move me. Its been awhile since I've read a book so intense, deep and ao valuable. Thank you for the novel! I cant wait for your next book!
Love the changes they've made for the paperback release! Congrats!
I clearly remember reading this book last year.. It was so eye opening and I loved it so much that I recomended it to all of my friends who read it as well! :)

I have yet to read this book. It IS on my books-to-buy list, because I am DYING to read it. It sounds so so terrific.
Having an autographed copy would be awesome! But even if I weren't to win. Regardless, I WILL get my hands on this book sooner or later and read it. :)
Love,

-- Jamie E.
Your book powerful book really hits home to a lot of the teenagers in our community. Thank you for writing such an important story.
Totally judging a book by it's cover now and it looks great! Would love to review it for The Dying Book Affair!
13,000 reviews is incredible! Congratulations! I've been wanting to read it really bad! : )
Love the new cover and the pages in between (though I listened to this one on audiobook - seemed appropriate - so no pages were handled). Will try to finally get around to my review and help get you to 13,000! Congratulations on the success of your work!
i cant wait to read this book! it would be awesome to win it!
This book all but changed my life. I was going through some hard times and this book was such an eye opener. I've probably taken it from the library 10 times to read it. I would love to win this book.
Wow! That looks really good!
Honestly, I haven't read this book. I am a french futur reader and this book is in my list of "books I must read". I discordered this author few weeks ago and I am totaly convinced that I will love this book and this author.
I don't know if I can post a comment for my participation because I am living in France, but I hope it.
Even if I will not win the book, I will buy it soon !
Thank you !
PS : sorry if my english is not good...
Oh my goodness. This book is my absolute favorite. I'm not even going to lie. I lent it out to a lot of my friends after I read it, and they all loved it, too. You did an amazing job writing this.
I love the new cover for the book. I think it is much more striking this way. Anyway,congrats on the 13k comments!
This book looks fantastic!
This book is on my TBR list and I am next in line for it too. Excited to read it since I have heard nothing but great things and how amazing it is.
13, 000 reviews is totally crazy! I had never heard of the book until just now but it sounds like it would be fantastic. I'd definitely love a copy and congratulations on such success! :]
Congratulations Jay!!! I would love to enter and win your signed copy!!
Hope i win:)-----Michele F.
Oh my goodness! I've been wanting to get this book for AGES! Since it came out, but I can never seem to find it it paperback for some reason... Is it out in paperback?? I don't like hardback books 1)because they're more expensive and 2) because 85% of my books are in paperback and I don't want to show any favoritism to certain authors by getting their books in hardback :)
I WANT THIS BOOK!
As a high school English teacher, I have to say that I was blown away by this book! Never before have I read a book that really made me stop and think about how I can help change the bullying in our high schools! I will be reading this to my class because I think with all of the bullying and hate that is going on in this world, I think it is so important for students (or anyone for that matter) to take a step back and think about how their actions effect others. I would LOVE a copy of this book so that I can share the beauty of it with my classroom!
Thank you!
Stephanie
i love this book. its sad but it really puts your life into perspective.
I love Thirteen Reasons Why, and have been telling everyone I know to read it! Congrats on the paperback coming out (it looks great), and so many reviews as well! =)
Can't wait to see who wins the copies (crossing my fingers that I'm one of them)!
Jessica
I really want to win this, it's been on my read list for a while now! :D
I really want to read this book! It's all the buzz at my school, and I've been waiting for it to come from the library! :D
Course, if you pick me I'll have to cancel that order thar. ;D
So cool! :)
I would love, love, love to get a copy of this book. I read it for the first time a few months ago when I happened accross it at the library. I love it when I randomly pick up a book and it works its way onto my list of favorites. This book was compelling, heartwrenching, and had me reading with my mouth hanging open ( :O ). Thank you for such an excellent story!
This is such a heart-rending book...I loved it!
I want to read this!
This book was so amazing. It made me shed tears and understand depressed teens. Also it has changed my view on other people. It helped me better myself to help more people and defintly when they look sad and lonely. Smiles and laughter is tha best medichne and being a friend could change someones life.
One of the best books I have ever read. Ever! And I read like I breathe - all the time! It would be amazing to receive one of the books. I loved this book; it was just so...indescribable!
Way to go, Jay! I really enjoyed reading your book, and would love a copy that hasn't been destroyed.
I thought this book was AMAZING! So powerfully written. I really liked the original cover, but think the PB cover is beautiful, maybe even better than the HC. It has a much more melancholy feel to it.
This book looks super interesting, I would love to win it!!! Can't wait to read it!!!!
This is one of the best books I've ever read, it was so...so GOOD!! :D
Here is my comment to try and get a copy of this book! :D

AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!!!!

Loved it!!

This book as made me look at own life and wonder how far I've come from being like the main character. 13 Reasons Why is such a great book because it could happen to anyone and most of the people around them wouldn't understand the reasons behind that person's actions. I've shown this book to other people I know that have struggled with depression and suicide and they feel in love with this book to the point that they started turning their lives around. I would love to own this book in remembrance that I'm a strong young women who can help others make it through this world because of a book.
-Samantha Alberts
ooh!!! i haven't read this book yet,but my brother told me it was AMAZING! i really want to read it, ad so a bunch of my friends who rely on me,the bookworm, to provide something for them to read,it would be great not to have to go intot he attic to find something for them again this time!!!

Congrats on 13,000 reviews, even though I'm not surprised!

This is an amazing book!!!
All my friends told me about it.I gottah read this book!!!
Congrats Jay! I'm digging this giveaway, count me in!
I'd really love to have this book!
Thanks Jay,
Michelle
i really loved the way this book was written, especially using old things to make it seem even more like it's going on in the present. i really loved the book overall. it was really really great.
Excellent Book! I'm so excited for the chance to win this, reading it really made me consider what kind of tapes I would listen to if someone I knew did this. Thanks for this very thought-provoking book!!
This made my day. I would love it if I won this book. If I don't, then congrats to those that do (but I hope i do).
I absolutely LOVED this book ! It touched my heart & left me feeling so melancholy but it was soo well written it blew me away :)
Can't believe i had never heard of this book before! Looks like my new must read :)
This sounds like an amazing book. I fully intend to read it when I can get my hands on a copy!
I've been wanting to read this book for a long time now, but every time i go to get the book it never seems to be there or i just completely miss it. and this book must be amazing if it almost has 13,000 reviews!
I loved this book. My cousin was reading it so i read the back... and then the first page... and the the first five chapters. When I had to go home, I went straight to the library and got it out. It was absolutely amazing.
I LOVE THIS BOOK(:
I've read it at least twenty times and I quote things from the book randomly throughout the day.
I absolutley loved this book!!
I love this book, I really do. I just kinda read it at the wrong time. See, right before I read it, my friend Amber had just comitted suicide herself. The book made me cry! Don't feel bad though 's a really good book and winning the book would be a cherished moment!
i really want this book! have heard freat things about it!!!
I want to read this!
I love this book! It changed me, in a good way. =]
I love your book, but I got it from the library and don't own it. It'd be great to get a copy. :)
And the paperback cover looks awesome!
I loved this book soo much! I think you should write a sort of spin off or sequel to the story. Maybe a secret 14th reason why that none of us knew about or maybe her parent's reaction to her death.
i can relate to this book, ppl need to know that the little things do matter to people, im still here because of this book and congrats on all the reviews, u deserve it :)
I actually picked this book up the other day because someone on a blog I read said it was a really good book. And it really was! I actually stayed up all night reading it because I could not put it down. I have never before read a book in one night, but I HAD to know what was going to happen next, why Clay was on the tapes, and I secretly wanted her to be alive just living secretly in another town with her parents. Sadly, that wasn't what happened, but I still absolutely LOVED this book. I passed it off to my roommate and she read it in a day and loved it as well. It was very touching and very life altering. I don't think I can give enough praise to this book.
I loved this book like I loved 'If I Stay,' sometimes you just need a beautiful cry.
Choose me (:
I just want to say i absolutly love this book (it's my favourite)it really changes how you veiw the world. fantastic writing
I LO... LO... LOV... LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! Would appreciate and love a signed copy!!!! Thanks for the chance!!!
I never read one of your books, so I'm super exicited to see what kinds of books you write! I can't wait for it to come out :P
This is one of the more suck-you-in books that I've read lately. The story is amazing and I never, ever bored of it. It left me on the edge. Thank you for an amazing read Jay, I've definately joined your fan-club and will be soaking up all of your books.
I did a vlog review of this a few weeks ago. Absolutely loved this book! So... yes.
Aaww! I love this book! Definitely want to own it!!
I really loved 13 reasons why!!!!!! omg i hope i win!!! i <3 Jay Asher!!!!
I love this book!
This is on my top 10 books to read next! It looks really good and I have heard it's really good too. I can't wait to read it.
LOVE THIS BOOK! i was almost half way threw reading it and lost my copy ): HOPE I WIN :)
How exciting! I loved THIRTEEN REASONS WHY! Congrats on all the reviews!
Very Cool! Can't wait until it is out in paperback. There are many teen hands I would love to get this book into.
I loved 13 Reasons Why, and would love to own my own copy of it. It was a powerful book.
Truly life-altering read...my students constantly ask for it over and over...I've lost track of all the copies we have shared. Thanks for such a great book to share!
I've been wanting to read this book for awhile now. Thanks for giving me a chance.
My favorite book <3
This book was so amazing I love reading it and have convinced so many of my friends to read this book and they love it too. Amazing read that you will never be able to put down!
I've heard great things about this book! Congrats on 13k reviews! That's fabulous!
I LOVE this book. This book made me care more about people no matter how mean they are to me, how friendly they are, or if they don't know me. You shouldn't judge people too quickly.
My sisters birthday has just pasted..... and she asked for this book.... but I couldn't afford it for her... she would love if she got this book as a late birthday gift..... please please please!!!:)
I read and listened to the audiobook a while ago, but it's the kind of book that stays with you. Congratulation on it being made into a film, I can't wait to see it.
I love this book. I mean, LOVE THIS BOOKS! I'm so glad they did not do a complete redesign of the original, but rather simplified it. Love it! Can't wait to see it in person.
Congrats on nearing the 13,000th review! :)
Mazel Tov!

Congratulations on 13,000 reviews, that is truly amazing and a fantastic amount of support and love. <3

AHH! i love this book; it was awesome :)
this is one of the greatest books ever :)
God must be very proud of you because you've created such a beautiful masterpiece called Thirteen Reasons Why. It's more than a story of a girl committing suicide, it's a life changer. When I read it, I was going through a time in my life where I barely had any friends. It had inspired me to look to the people that are ostracized. So, that I may reach out to these people.
I had recently given my own copy to my friend who has dealed with anything from suicidal thoughts to cutting herself. She's nearly done with your book, and she's already making an impact at our school. A friend of our's has been a target for bullying at our school recently. She even told me, one day at lunch, that she'll commit suicide if I leave her at lunch. That day everyone at lunch left her, but I stayed and comforted her(along with the friend who I just gave the book to).
My friends keep on telling me how stupid some people are. I always respond on how that person doesn't need to be treated that way. That we need to love one another, like Our God has loved us. They'll always look at me with that look in their eyes. "Who do you think you are?" It's a good question, but I know who I am. I am a human being with emotions. I cry just like other people. Furthermore, I used to be one of those that cry every night. Now, I smile in the hope that I might be able to help someone through their days.
Teenagers are captured by the thought that no one like them. I've been through my fair share of bullying. Possibly I've been through it more than anyone else, but I'm not the one to say so. It doesn't matter how much I've been knocked away from the crowd. What matters is how much I affect people and how I affect people. Am I burning people to the point where they are ready to commit suicide or am I helping people rise out of such a drought like that?
Jay Asher, you have inspired me to write a moving book. I have always been a writer. However, after reading your novel I realize I have to write to inspire. I inspire people in my daily life, but inspiring people through writing is another thing. I adore Thirteen Reasons Why so much that I wrote a book report on it. After my friend finishes reading the book, I expect her to also pass on the book. After finishing the book myself, I initially thought of sending the book anonymously to a girl who made me lose all my popularity and ruined my life. Instead, I decided to just transform my middle school with the power of beautifully crafted words against suicide.
As you can tell, your book is absolutely my favorite. I don't mind if I don't win it. I'd rather someone who hasn't read the book yet recieve it. In that case, they'll pass the book on in their city. A movement can begin anywhere, and it can begin with anyone. I'm sure that your family never thought you'll begin a movement, Jay, but you did. Your book is a total blessing.
Congrats on recieving almost 13,000 reviews. Your famous now. xD Best wishes to the upcoming care takers of the autographed paperbacks!
With Love,
Savannah

You have no idea how much I would love a signed copy.. This book has helped me with my own bout of depression.. Hopefully you'll be touring around the Philadelphia area when you write your newest book :)
I love this book. I have passed it onto so many people but I unfortunately lost my copy when I lent it out and it was not returned. I would love to have a signed copy. I am looking forward to this movie as well!
