Insomnia Blog Tour and Giveaway

J. R. Johansson is here on the blog today! (say hi, guys) She's the author of the absolutely fantastic YA horror book INSOMNIA. She's not only got a kickass giveaway for you all but also a special vlog about one of INSOMNIA's side characters, Addie. Be sure to watch it and, if you want, subscribe to her channel!

THE AUTHOR & THE BOOK

J.R. JOHANSSON is a young adult thriller author published with Flux & FSG/Macmillan. Her debut, INSOMNIA is coming June 2013. She has a B.S. degree in public relations and a background in marketing. She credits her abnormal psychology minor with inspiring many of her characters. When she's not writing, she loves reading, playing board games, and sitting in her hot tub. Her dream is that someday she can do all three at the same time. She has two young sons and a wonderful husband. In fact, other than her cat, Cleo, she's nearly drowning in testosterone.

Her eyes saved his life. Her dreams released his darkness.

After four years of sleeplessness, high school junior Parker Chipp can’t take much more. Every night, instead of sleeping, he enters the dreams of the last person he’s made eye contact with. If he doesn’t sleep soon, Parker will die.

Then he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him blissful rest that’s utterly addictive. But what starts out as a chance meeting turns into an obsession; Parker’s furious desire for what he needs pushes him to extremes he never thought he’d go. And when someone begins terrorizing Mia with twisted death threats, Parker’s memory blackouts leave him doubting his own innocence.

Lisbeth is an American teenager who enjoys blowing shit up in videogames and discussing decapitation in great detail. She's also obsessed with Oceana, but you're not supposed to know that.

{Random} Oceana's Message to STGRB

Yes, I, Oceana Fern, have been added to Badly Behaving Goodreaders list on Stop The Goodreads Bullies, a hypocritical site dedicated to exposing, harassing, and insulting Goodreads and Amazon reviewers.

Their hypocrisy is astounding.

#1 

They bashed two friends of mine for 'harassing' an idiot minor, and yet, here I am, along with some other minors, on their list, where we will probably be attacked and exposed.

#2 

STGRB has two posts on 'defending' the minors of Goodreads from pedophiles (written by Caroll Byrant, BAHAHA, THE IRONY) and sexual role-players. They claim they'd kill to protect their own child, and go on and on about how parents deserve to know what 'Goodreads is really like'. They say how horrible it is that these minors are harassed and have conversations about sex with adults.

GAH THE SCANDAL, HIDE, HIDE ME.

Now, I have personally been featured on Caroll's bully blog, and he is fully aware that I am a minor - in fact he had a discussion about it with another blogger.

Yet... here he preaches about saving the children on Goodreads.

*headdesk*

{Giveaway} Signed Copy of If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Oh hai there. It's Oceana Fern.

Yes, you can win a signed copy of that IF I STAY by the wonderful, hysterical, talented Gayle Forman.

A critically acclaimed novel that will change the way you look at life, love, and family. 

In the blink of an eye everything changes. Seventeen ­year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall what happened afterwards, watching her own damaged body being taken from the wreck. Little by little she struggles to put together the pieces- to figure out what she has lost, what she has left, and the very difficult choice she must make. Heartwrenchingly beautiful, Mia's story will stay with you for a long, long time.

IF I STAY is a really amazing book, and if you haven't read it, please do. I actually loved her new novel, JUST ONE DAY, more than IF I STAY, which was a huge surprise - considering all the problems I had with our protagonist, Allyson. But I loved it so much!

I had my blogger friends in mind when I purchased an extra copy at Gayle's blog tour signing for JUST ONE DAY in Miami (cue the squealing) and decided to use this signed copy for ASSORTED INSANITY'S first giveaway... hosted by me, Oceana Fern!

I BEAT YO ASS LISBETH

But before you scroll straight down to Rafflecopter to start putting in entries, I'm going to torture you with just a few pictures of Gayle, myself, and Gayle and myself at the signing.

She knew my name was French. SCORE.

  

Oh, oh, and I caught Gayle dancing in the lobby while I was happily destroying my delicious Black Forest cake. I took a picture, but, uh... *clutches phone to chest* MINE.

Oh, and if you see this around, it's the official advertisement for this giveaway:

disclaimer: he's not really. we wish.

I'll be paying for shipping and handling (my poor monies), and I'll try to send the book to the winner as soon as possible. I'll email the winner immediately (and tweet them if possible). The winner has seventy-two hours to respond before I pick another winner. I'm looking at you, winner. Lucky bitch.

I promise I'll do another giveaway that will be open internationally, but not this one.

Open only to those who live in the contiguous United States of America. 

This means that Alaska and Haiwaii are not included. I'm really, really sorry, but I do promise that when I get the chance and the money, I will do an international giveaway.

I'm not responsible if the book shows up looking like it was used as a punching glove on your doorstep. Sorry, bitch at the postal service, not at me. I shipped it looking like new. *haughty sniff*

This giveaway ends at 12 AM on February 6, 2013.

Open to the United States (contiguous 48 states)

Giveaway ends February 6, 2013
