Lovelies!!!
Today is MAY 2ND. That means that there are 3 MONTHS until THE NEAR WITCH hits shelves!!
That means a GIVEAWAY.
And not just any giveaway. This month we have a FEAST of treats for you. I’m not even using “we” in the royal sense because 6 amazing bloggers got together and filmed a RAP SONG for my book (yes, you read that right). You need to watch it because it’s hilarious and epic and awesome.
*
SO THAT BASICALLY MADE MY WHOLE LIFE.
BUT THEY DIDN’T STOP THERE.
Each of the bloggers involved is hosting their OWN giveaways with some of my favorite things (how freaking cool???).
AND.
Disney*Hyperion has given each of them SIGNED, FIRST-EDITION FINISHED COPIES OF THE NEAR WITCH to add to their giveaways.
Amazing, right?
But what about ME?
Surely, lovelies, *I* have a giveaway, too. And so I give you…
VICTORIA’S THREE-MONTHS-TILL-RELEASE-SQUEEEEEEEE GIVEAWAY (catchy title, I know)
There will EITHER be ONE winner who gets ALL FIVE prizes, or FIVE winners who EACH get a prize (I will randomly pair) depending on the number of entries…
1. THE NEAR WITCH playlist + $15 itunes giftcard
2. A unicorn parts button (I promised there would be a unicorn)!**
3. A signed, numbered set of THE NEAR WITCH buttons.
4. A character NAMING in a future book.
5. AND A ONE-OF-A-KIND, STUFFED NARWHAL. Oh god, it’s so cute.**
ALL YOU NEED TO DO:
1. Tweet about the giveaway, and use the hashtag #NWsong
2. Leave a comment below!
THINGS I’D *LIKE* YOU TO DO:
1. Do what you can to spread the word (blog/tweet/fb/etc). Feel free to tell me about it. Maybe there will be MORE buttons for good sportsmanship.
2. Tell the six bloggers how AWESOME they are.
And after you leave a comment below, be sure to head over to the other giveaways!! Who’s giving away The Princess Bride? Hourglass? The HP soundtrack? Honey Nut Cheerios? Tea? Cookies???
GO FIND OUT:
Gail over at Ticket to Anywhere
Erica over at The Book Cellar X
Nikki over at Wicked Awesome Books
Danielle over at Frenzy of Noise
Danielle over at Overflowing Shelf
Jen over at The Secret Life of a Bibliophile
The giveaways are all US only except for this one. Mine is international, and will run from now until MAY 7TH, 9PM CST.
**I feel obligated to inform you that there are no unicorns, adorable or otherwise, in my books. Nor are there narwhals. Nor are there cute animals (as much as I like all these things). Scott Tracey said, and I quote, “THE NEAR WITCH is kind of like if Maleficent ran a baby animal farm.” So, yeah. BUT the theme of this giveaway is my favorite things, and boy do I love a good stuffed narwhal. The argyle-stitched brother to this pink fluffy mass will be at my launch party, and my signings. In case you were on the fence about coming. I bet I just tipped you.

Thanks!!!
…..Theres this little book called The Near Witch that comes out on August 2nd exactly 3 months from today..Theres this group of bloggers who are insane for said book and its author Victoria Schwab..This group of bloggers – consisting of two Danielles a Gail a Nikki an Erica a fabulous director named Jen and non-blogger but all-around awesome person named Ariane – came together to create a little rap about the book. Is there a particular area that inspired the setting for The Near Witch?.Yes Near was inspired by the north England moors. They look like this .Obviously Near isnt set there specifically and there are some tweaks to the landscape but those moors most definitely gave birth to the ones in my mind.
