Guess what? The wonderfully fabulous team at Scholastic has decided that I get to give you free books!
Yep, I said it: books. Not just one book. TWO BOOKS! Because not only will two lucky winners be receiving a super-special ARC of WISHFUL THINKING (super-special because not everyone gets to see these babies in their first-run stages, and also because they’ll be signed and doodled on by me!) but we’re also throwing in a shiny new paperback of WISH (which, as I may have mentioned, makes a fantastically portable holiday gift!)
Since we’re coming up on the New Year, I’ve been thinking a lot about resolutions. Resolutions are kind of like wishes that you have the power to make come true, right? They’re not crazy, outlandish, I-want-a-bazillion-dollar-or-a-pony-or-a-bazillion-dollar-pony wishes. They’re wishes that come from you, wishes that might change you or open new doors, and maybe make things better for you or the people you love. These are the kinds of real-wish resolutions that are most worth keeping.
I’m going to spend the next few weeks thinking about all of the things I want to wish-real in 2011, and I’d love a little inspiration. What sorts of things will you be real-wishing for in the New Year?
All you have to do is leave a comment and tell me what real-wish you’re making this New Year’s Eve. Blog-bored? Tell me on Twitter. Tweet-tired? Write me a note on Facebook. Facebook-freaked? Send an email to alex@alexandrabullen.com. Computer-crazy? DO ALL FOUR! (You’ll be entered once for each.)
The contest is open until Dec. 31st. On New Years Eve I’ll pick TWO WINNERS at random and send out some extra-special Wish-inspired treats!
Good Luck and Happy Wishing!!!
xoxo

I wish to finally master the Spanish language. I need it to get high grades and to get a nice job! And of course, I wish that I would be able to finish the draft of my novel by then.

I wish that I’ll be accepted to all three of the universities I applied to. I’m way way excited to start living the college life, but I’ll have to slow it down!

I wish the normal stuff, good health, good grades, hoping I find a good job (crossing fingers for Borders!), that all my friends and family be okay, and that all the authors debuting on 2011 have a great debut!
But, I also wish that I win this book because it sounds fabulous!

Another wish of mine’s to be be able to finally pass my driving test. I’ve taken it two times already and have failed both times 😦 Hoping the third time’s the charm.

I wish that I had all my books moved and re-inventoried in my new office. I have the shelfs up and A-B moved but boy are there a lot left to move from my hall shelves and that doesn’t even count the 15 tubs of books I’ve got to unload also.
