Paradox Book Giveaway Winners!
OK, this is a few days late in coming but our Paradox re-tweet contest has closed and we have our winners. We had 70 entries this time around – our thanks to everyone who participated! We picked 3 random numbers from all entries (8, 42 and 51) and here they are. (Our first pick was A. J. Paquette herself – who had re-tweeted the contest – but seeing as she most likely has a copy already we picked another winner;)
Congrats to our winners:
If you are one of our prize winners please send your mailing address to us at “info [at] worldswithoutend [dot] com” so we can get your autographed books in the mail right away.
Our thanks to A. J. Paquette and Random House for donating the prizes. We’re looking forward to some great reviews!
Book Giveaway: Paradox by A. J. Paquette
Random House has sent us 3 autographed hardcover copies of A. J. Paquette’s new YA novel Paradox to give away. For your chance to win all you have to do is re-tweet our tweet, share our FB post, or leave a comment below! Do all three and triple your chances. The contest is open to all and will last until next Wednesday when we’ll draw 3 names from the hat.
Ana only knows her name because of the tag she finds pinned to her jumpsuit. Waking in the featureless compartment of a rocket ship, she opens the hatch to discover that she has landed on a barren alien world. Instructions in her pocket tell her to observe and to survive, no doubt with help from the wicked-looking knives she carries on her belt. But to what purpose?
Meeting up with three other teens–one boy seems strangely familiar–Ana treks across the inhospitable landscape, occasionally encountering odd twists of light that carry glimpses of people back on Earth. They’re working on some sort of problem, and the situation is critical. What is the connection between Ana’s mission on this planet and the crisis back on Earth, and how is she supposed to figure out the answer when she can’t remember anything?
From the Publisher:
Fans of James Dashner’s Maze Runner series will love this postapocalyptic adventure about a girl who must survive an alien planet in order to save the Earth.
“The backstory, initially revealed through interspersed newspaper articles, presents the intriguing notion of memories as a kind of infection. The result is a delayed, but eventually worthwhile, payoff.” – Booklist
“The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance in this unorthodox science-fiction thriller.” – Kirkus
For those of you participating in the Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge, A. J. Paquette would be an excellent choice for a new author since this is her first YA book or even to satisfy the 1 random author requirement. I’m looking forward to seeing some reviews for this one. Good luck to all!
