Giveaway THE RING & THE CROWN $1000 SWEEPSTAKES! @MelissadelaCruz @DisneyHyperion #GigglesAndGlam

Enter to Win Our #GigglesandGlam

Instagram Sweepstakes!HelloGiggles Team

We’re so excited to announce a fabulous new sweepstakes to celebrate the highly

anticipated YA book release, The Ring and the Crown

(which just hit shelves on April 1). We’re giving away amazing prizes –

find out how you can enter for a chance to win below!

The Ring and the Crown follows four girls circling the British throne, each in their

own ways dealing with the royal rules of love, status, and—of course—style.

The book is being billed as “Glam of Thrones” and is written by Melissa de la Cruz,

the NYT-bestselling author of Witches of East End (now a popular series on Lifetime).

PRIZES

Speaking of glam, this sweepstakes has some pretty GLAM prizes including:

- 2 Grand Prizes: $1,000 shopping spree at Young Fabulous & Broke

- 10 First Prizes: $150 shopping spree at Young Fabulous & Broke

HOW TO ENTER

To enter, we’re asking you to show off your glam self! Share an image on Instagram using #GigglesandGlam – whether it’s your glamorous outfit of the day, nails, makeup, shoes,
or hair – or all of the above!

Don’t forget to include the hashtag #GigglesandGlam for your chance to win.

Winners will be randomly selected from 4/17-4/30 and will be contacted

directly on Instagram.

And for a little “glamspiration” from some enchanting royal femmes,

here’s a delicious taste of The Ring and the Crown.

EXCERPT

Magic is power, and power is magic…

Once they were inseparable, just two little girls playing games in a mighty castle. Now Princess Marie-Victoria, heir to the mightiest empire in the world, and Aelwyn Myrddyn, a bastard mage, face vastly different futures.

Quiet and gentle, Marie has never lived up to the ambitions of her mother, Queen Eleanor the Second. With the help of her Merlin, Eleanor has maintained a stranglehold on the world’s only source of magic. While the enchanters faithfully serve the crown, the sun will never set on the Franco-British Empire.

As the annual London Season begins, the great and noble families across the globe flaunt their wealth and magic at parties, teas, and, of course, the lavish Bal du Drap d’Or, the Ball of the Gold Cloth.

But the talk of the season is Ronan Astor, a social-climbing American with only her dazzling beauty to recommend her. Ronan is determined to make a good match to save her family’s position. But when she falls for a handsome rogue on the voyage over, her lofty plans are imperiled by her desires.

Meanwhile, Isabelle of Orleans, daughter of the displaced French royal family, finds herself cast aside by Leopold, heir to the Prussian crown, in favor of a political marriage to Marie-Victoria. Isabelle arrives in the city bent on reclaiming what is hers. But Marie doesn’t even want Leopold-she has lost her heart to a boy the future queen would never be allowed to marry.

When Marie comes to Aelwyn, desperate to escape a life without love, the girls form a perilous plan that endangers not only the entire kingdom but the fate of the monarchy.

RULES FOR SWEEPSTAKES:

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Ends 4/30/2014 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. & D.C., 13 or older. To enter, create an Instagram featuring your “Glam” or “Royal” inspired look with the hashtag #GigglesAndGlam. You may enter as many times as you wish. 10 First Prize Winners and 2 Grand Prize Winners will be awarded. See Official Rules for full details including entry periods, eligibility restrictions, prize descriptions & limitations. Void where prohibited.

Giveaway Interview THE SECRET SIDE OF EMPTY by MARIA ANDREU @WriterSideofM Win a Kindle Fire

The Secret Side of Empty by Maria Andreu

It's the story of a teen girl that is American in every way except for in one very important way: on paper. She was brought to the U.S. as a baby without proper documentation, so she's "illegal." As the end of the safe haven of her high school days draw near, she faces an uncertain future. Full of humor and frustration and love, The Secret Side of Empty speaks to the part in all of us that has felt excluded or has had a secret too scary to share. What M.T., the main character, finally discovers is the strength of the human spirit and the power that's unleashed when you finally live the truth.

Maria’s writing has appeared in Newsweek, The Washington Post and the Star Ledger. Her debut novel, The Secret Side of Empty, is the story of an “illegal” high school senior. It was inspired by Maria’s own experiences as an undocumented teen. Since becoming a citizen, Maria has run her own business and has become a soccer mom. She lives with her 13-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son in northern New Jersey.

From Amazon:

What's it like to be undocumented? High school senior M.T. knows all too well. With graduation and an uncertain future looming, she must figure out how to grow up in the only country she's ever called home... a country in which she's "illegal."

M.T. was born in Argentina and brought to America as a baby without any official papers. And as questions of college, work, and the future arise, M.T. will have to decide what exactly she wants for herself, knowing someone she loves will unavoidably pay the price for it. On the way, M.T. must navigate first love, letting go of her childhood friends as they begin a life she can't share, a difficult relationship with a father who grew up a world away and a mother struggling to find her way in America. What is it like when the only country you've ever known says you don't belong? The Secret Side of Empty offers an intimate, often surprising glimpse into a story you often hear on the news but have never heard told this way before.

Author Maria E. Andreu draws from her personal experience as a former undocumented immigrant to explore issues of belonging, keeping secrets and what it's like to be undocumented. More than that, The Secret Side of Empty is a story that will touch anyone who has ever felt excluded or unsure about the future or has kept a secret she felt was too big too share.

Pre-Order your copy here:

1. What is the first book you remember reading by yourself as a child?

It haunts me that I can’t remember the title, because it was a book that really blew my mind. It was about a girl who had a doll in a little wardrobe case filled with outfits. Then she lost it. Every time she told the story of how wonderful the doll and her outfits were, it got a little more embellished. Eventually it became The Greatest Doll Ever. After the winter passed she found it under a pile of leaves. It was not as amazing as she had made it out to be. I thought that was profound – that memory can shift like that and that we can believe things that aren’t so. I read that book over and over again.

2. What are you reading right now?

I’m reading two books (as I usually am). I am totally loving Why We Write, a collection of essays by successful writers about the writing process and their motivation. Totally inspiring. I’m also reading The Willpower Instinct, which is about creating habits that make you more productive. I’m hoping it will help me to finish writing two books per year. ;-)

3. How does your garden grow?

Well, I’m a gardener, so it grows awesome. Last year I planted an obscene amount of iris rhizomes and this year I may get even more. I love plants that you put in the ground in the fall and which flower in the spring. It feels like a promise, like held breath. You put these uninspiring looking brown roots in the ground, then they get frozen and it seems like maybe it was all folly. Then in the spring they grow green and burst with color. It’s miraculous.

4. What is the last thing you Googled?

I actually just Googled “how does your garden grow” to make sure it wasn’t some cool underground reference I should be getting but wasn’t. I am an obsessive Googler. When Google came into my life I felt I finally understood how I was going to be at peace in the world. As someone who loves to know everything, Google pulled me out of the darkness of not knowing.

5. What makes you cringe?

People being mean to other people.

Publication Date: June 12, 2012

1 concert. 2000 miles. 3 ex-best friends.Alice, Summer, and Tiernan used to be best friends—as well as the self-proclaimed biggest fans of the band Level3. But when the band broke up, so did their friendship.
Now, four years later, they’ve just graduated from high school. When Level3 announces a one-time reunion show in Texas, Alice impulsively buys tickets and invites her two former friends along for the trip.

Will their friendship get an encore, or is the show really over?

Damaged books? Anyone want them?

I have a few books (some ARCs and finished copies) that I received damaged. They are still readable and almost new, but I don't like to send them out in such condition. And well, one book I loaned out, that someone read while eating a cookie and decided that it would make a good napkin. But only on the flyleaf, so the rest of the book is fine.

Anyone interested in this idea? I started a poll -- right over there -------------> and up to the right.
