The Comic Con ARC Roundup
Yesterday was an eventful, back-breaking day at Comic Con as I collected ARC after ARC and lugged it around in my bag! Just ask Shannon Whitney Messegner, who was gracious enough to let me tag along with her and show me all the great publishing houses on the Expo floor!
I sat in on three panels amongst the author signings and collecting:
- Drive Angry with Nicolas Cage and Robert Knepper. I really just went to this one because it was short and I really wanted to see Hall H! Oh, and Billy Burke was supposed to be there, but never showed.
- Bite Me: Evolving Urban Fantasy Beyond the Vampire Phenomenon
- What’s Up Next With Penguin
 |
And here are the ARCs I got my hands on. I’m so excited and will be sharing some of them in contests with you guys here!
- Signed copy of Beautiful Darkness (Kami and Margie did signings at the Hatchette booth, it was pretty insane!)
- Matched (this one doesn’t have the amazing cover that I fell in love with, but I started reading last night and it’s really good!)
- Sapphique
- Nightshade
- The Eternal Ones
- The Replacement
- The Search for Wondla
I also scored a signed copy of the First 5 Chapters of Vampire Academy (Rachelle Mead), some preview chapters of Monster High (Lisi Harrison), a sneak preview of Reckless (Cornelia Funke), and 4 postcard packs with upcoming books including Eclipse, Sisters Red, Ghostgirl and more!
So … my question to you is … what ARC should I give away first? (Although it will probably be in the order that I read them, since I need to do reviews on some!!)

@Dorothy, I’ll get on it - I have a feeling this next week will be a busy reading one, and then it’s off to SCBWI!
@Ashley, I’m SUPER excited for that one. I can’t decide between Beautiful Darkness and Sapphique next…

Can I just say how incredible jealous I am right now? Sounds like you had a fantastic time! I think you have to perfect order for your giveaway…I’m not sure I could part with Beautiful Darkness.
Congrats on all the goodies!

@Renae - that’s the only one I’m debating on, and only because its signed, because I’ll definitely be buying the hardcover… Decisions decisions!

Sounds like you had a fantastic time! Never knew that Comic Con had ARCs, I heard that there were lots of other book stuff- Hunger Games stuff, well lots of stuff really.
Not sure which one you should give away, maybe Matched or Nightshade.

Oh! I am dying to read The Search for WondLa. I’m a big Spiderwick fan and have been waiting to get my hands on that one. I really hope it’s good. Sounds like you are making out like a bandit there!

SCORE! Wow lots of good stuff! The order you read them sounds good!

I would love to purchase the Reckless pre-view when you have finished with it for my granddaughters (8 + 10). They love everything Cornelia Funke! Read her books many times over
