Hello, it’s day 2 of Armchair BEA, which means giveaways galore! YAY! I hope you’re enjoying the discussions so far. If you missed my introduction interview post, you can check it out here.
In celebration of BEA/Armchair BEA week, I’m giving away a signed hardcover copy of Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler to one lucky winner! This giveaway is being offered to only Armchair BEA 2012 registered participants with US/Canada mailing addresses.
Once upon a time, Hudson knew exactly what her future looked like. Then a betrayal changed her life, and knocked her dreams to the ground. Now she’s a girl who doesn’t believe in second chances… a girl who stays under the radar by baking cupcakes at her mom’s diner and obsessing over what might have been.
So when things start looking up and she has another shot at her dreams, Hudson is equal parts hopeful and terrified. Of course, this is also the moment a cute, sweet guy walks into her life… and starts serving up some seriously mixed signals. She’s got a lot on her plate, and for a girl who’s been burned before, risking it all is easier said than done.
It’s time for Hudson to ask herself what she really wants, and how much she’s willing to sacrifice to get it. Because in a place where opportunities are fleeting, she knows this chance may very well be her last…(Goodreads)
I loved this book! It’s a great YA contemporary with fantastic characters, a heart-warming story, and it will make you crave cupcakes! Each chapter is titled with a different cupcake with its description and it will make you want to either bake your own or seek out the best bakery in town :).
Check out the book trailer:
REMINDER: I’m in NYC attending BEA in person, follow me on Twitter (@bookandlatte) for live BEA tweets! Today I’m cruising the exhibits, standing in author signature lines, and meeting the Apocalypsies (2012 YA debut authors). This evening I’ll be attending the Penguin YRG event and Teen Author Carnival. Yeah… I’m excited!

I started early with The X-Files!
I am a sci-fi fan! I think my gateway one was actually Roswell, haha.

I’m not a huge fan of sci-fi, but do watch the occasional movie & shows. I sadly don’t read many sci-fi books. Some of my favorite sci-fi movies are the Aliens & Predators movies.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I loved watching Star Trek when I was younger! 🙂

The X-Files for me. It was the first show I really got into and it introduced me to fandom in all its craziness.
Glad you made it to BEA, how fun!
I’d love to win this book; this author’s been recommended to me since I’m a fan of Sara Zarr.

I absolutely loved reading the Golden Compass in middle school, probably my first foray into sci-fi. 🙂

Hmmm, I’m not reallly a sci-fi fan, sorry, lol! But I did just read a sci-fi book that blew me away and really enjoy – Elemental by Emily White. It’s got faeries too 🙂
Happy BEA! Enjoy!

I’m not the biggest sci-fi fan, but what got me into it was the recent remake of Star Trek. I could practically recite that movie word for word because I’ve seen it so much. That was my gateaway to the wonderful world of sci-fi.

Bittersweet! -claps hands like a fool- My best friend just finished reading this a little while ago and she wants me to read it so badly.
I’m not really a fan of sci-fi. I can read sci-fi novels without much trouble, but they aren’t the first books I’ll seek out if I need something to read right now. I’m a big fan of the Sky Chasers series by Amy Kathleen Ryan, though. I read them recently and they gave me a better appreciation for sci-fi as a genre.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

Sorry! I used the copy previous for rafflecopter. Just leave a meaningful comment :). I can’t change it from here…
Love sci-fi – Star Trek:TNG for starters. Now I’m in to Doctor Who.

Thanks for the giveaway! I really loved this book, so I’d really like to own it as well. =)
Ooh sci-fi… it was probably my early exposure to Star Trek, which my Mom watched all the time. The first sci-fi I remember liking was Star Wars… and then more recently maybe something like Firefly and Battlestar Galactica.

hm. Has to be sci-fi? For book, I’d probably go with an oldie, Ender’s Game. For sci-fi TV, my latest addiction is Lost Girl. Thanks for hosting an awesome giveaway!

I’m not a HUGE sci-fi fanatic or anything but I do have a big appreciation for the genre. It was probably Star Trek that got me into it originally, haha. My dad is big into sci-fi so it was just always on TV and such. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love sci-fi. I definitely got my start watching The X-Files and The Outer Limits with my dad all the time. Definitely some of my greatest nights. I haven’t read a lot of sci-fi but I’m trying to change that.
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

Star Wars is a gateway drug. Seriously. It leads to Firefly, Battlestar Galatica, an unhealthy obsession with Spock and acne. Fact.
