Level 2 News - Finished Hardcover + More!

Not an hour after I arrived home from my trip to the US, the doorbell rang.  It was a delivery man with my LEVEL 2 hardcover - hot off the presses! (I would have documented this event, but PJs + jetlag + suitcase unpacking explosion = hot mess).

So once I slept a few hours, I took this photo:



That was yesterday. Today, now that the light is better, I took a bunch more photos so I can show off the PRETTY.

Shiny!

Back, including blurbs from Megan McCafferty, Jess Rothenberg and Mary E. Pearson

LEVEL 2 gets its day in the sun

LEVEL 2 undressed: the spine is silver foil.


LEVEL 2 on my dystopian fiction shelf!

"There must be more to [a cat's life] than this." Lu shuns the tagline.

Also, in review news, VOYA calls LEVEL 2 "Immensly layered", and Romantic Times says: "The way Appelhans mixes memory with plot is exceptional."

And now for some links!

Jacqueline Trotter recaps the Drama & Dystopia library panel in Kansas City from Tuesday.  We raffled copies of the LEVEL 2 arc as well as chocolate from Germany and the audience actually chose the book over the chocolate!

Novel Sounds invited me to soundtrack my life and I reveal the theme songs for LEVEL 2 and the sequel.

So thrilled that so many bloggers chose LEVEL 2 as one of their most anticipated reads for 2013. Thank you!

I'll be over at Badass Bookie on December 4th and 5th for her awesome 2013 Debutante event.

A chance to win a LEVEL 2 arc over at A New Kind of Ordinary!

The winner of the LEVEL 2 UK version is Carina Olsen.

44 more days!

  10. I love the hardcover!! It looks great and I'm so excited for my copy to show up on my Kindle!! I gave away your postcards to some of my mature 8th graders and they were all googling your book and going to Amazon.com to see if their parents would buy it for them!!! I also saw an awesome review of it in my RT Review Magazine!!

  11. Love the Better than Ezra song you picked. I still listen to them quite a bit, even if I haven't gone to a concert in a while. My BTE concert buddy lives in Germany now! Great song choices overall.
