MEMENTO NORA hits the shelves in 8 weeks!
In Nora James’ world, if you’re haunted by a bad memory, all you have to do is walk into a Therapeutic Forgetting Clinic (TFC), pop a pill, and go on like nothing ever happened–sans that particular memory. And you earn frequent forgetting points for every visit. However, Nora James spits out her pill and holds on to the memory. That’s when things get unglossy for her. But, along the way, she does find new friends who don’t believe in forgetting either.
So, to countdown the weeks until the launch of Memento Nora, I’ve asked a few of my friends to share some spit-worthy memories–and you guys can earn the points.
Here’s the line-up:
2/10: Beth Revis, Across the Universe. Read her memory (and review).
2/17: Bettina Restrepo, Illegal. [I’ll be hosting Bettina’s memory here on my blog.]
2/24: Julia Karr, XVI.
3/2: Jeff Hirsch, The Eleventh Plague.
3/1o: Kiki Hamilton, The Faerie Ring.
3/17: Gae Polisner, The Pull of Gravity.
3/14: Carrie Harris, Bad Taste in Boys.
3/31: Elana Johnson, Possession.
What’s the reward? You can enter to win a nice prize pack o’stuff.
The stuff includes:
Signed copy of Memento Nora
Temporary tattoos and stickers
Bookmarks
Your very own supply of forgetting pills. (Ok, they’re really Jelly Belly’s.)
And this glossy charm bracelet…
How do you enter? Simple. Each week, leave a comment on the featured blog–and here on my site. Each weekly comment earns you a point (which in this case equals an entry in the random drawing). In other words, if you comment on every week, you get 8 points… er, entries.
The winner will be announced April 7.
sounds like a great read! if I don’t win a copy, I’ll have to just buy one in April!
Sounds AMAZING! I can’t wait to read it. I commented on Beth Revis’s blog post and her memory was pretty funny but also thoughtful. I giggled and smiled.
Just read Beth’s review and want to read this book EVEN MORE. I mean, “the dystopian world most likely to really happen”? I gotta know! So, you see, I’m not just entering this contest for the Jelly Bellies (is that how you’d pluralize it?)!
I am participating in the 2011 debut author challenge and this is one of my must read books for the year. I would love a chance to win a signed copy.
Just to clarify in order to get 1 ballet though, you must comment on both your blog and the featured blog of that week.
Thanks
Julia
This is great, thanks so much. I read a lot of the featured blogs anyways as it is, so this is just an added bonus! Thanks so much for this, Memento Nora sounds so good and I can’t wait to read it!
Fun! I’ve got a memory I’d love to forget. Let’s just say it involves a toad, a snake, my foot and my mother’s crazy father (no really, he was certifiable). And did I mention I really don’t like snakes? Anyway, awesome contest! I loved all the questions The League answered on the Page Turner’s blog a few weeks ago and now I CANNOT wait to read MEMENTO NORA! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m loving hearing all these memories. Fun funny memories. Can’t wait for MN to finally come out.
Just read Beth’s memory, TOO funny 🙂
Just realized you were holding this awesome giveaway and I had to join in! Reading this Julia’s had me laughing quite a bit.
I have to add that the charm bracelet is so cute and I love the picture with the pill bottles of jelly beans 😀
Just visited Bettina’s post. I also went and read Julia’s memory. 🙂
I’d love to win a copy so I can read it soon, but it’s on my to-read books for the year either way. I love the idea of having people post hilarious memories 🙂
Wow! thank you for the giveaway!
By the way, the cover is awesome… I like her hair… hahaha!
Thank you for all those memories!

Great premise. Brings up a lot of questions. Who would we be and how would we be different if we only remembered the good stuff? Hmmm.
Yay!! Enter me!
