Listen up my awesome peeps... someone I love (and stalk regularly) as recently received her ARC's (like just a day ago) and she has decided to do something OH.SO.FUN!
Share her awesome feelings and giddiness via a Vlog! Give it up for Victoria Schwab... awesome author of The Near Witch... I can't wait to read this novel... and how appropriate with the Halloween festivities around the corner for her to see her cover in the FLESH! So without further ado... her she is peeps!
AND! Here is the awesome pitch for this rockin story:
"The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children.
If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company.
There are no strangers in the town of Near.
These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger—a boy who seems to fade like smoke—appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true.
The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. Still, he insists on helping Lexi search for them. Something tells her she can trust him.
As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi’s need to know—about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.
Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab’s debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won’t soon forget."
Delicious is it not?!! So stop by and say hello, congratulate her on her fanatstic ARC fest and please in the comments tell me either what you think of this fabulous novel, or what eerie novel you've enjoyed reading during the Halloween holiday!! Muahahahaha!
DARE TO PRE-ORDER! She just found she's on Amazon!!! Trust me pre-ordering would seriously be awesome! You'd be crazy not to!

She's mighty brave to do a vlog. What an exciting time for her! The cover is tops. :)
This book sounds great! I'll have to pop by Amazon now.
Wow you beat me this morning haha.
This book sounds great. I love a little bit of mystery and suspense and every now and then!!!
Mystery, romance, witches and dreams - sounds like a good read! Thanks for the information on the book and loved the vlog!
that vlog, sure makes me excited...well not as excited as she is, but close :-)
I've had this novel on my to-read list for awhile! It sounds fantastic!
Fabulous, thanks for letting us know, Jen!

I've always avoided vlogs - as if they might reveal too many *details* (bites knuckle) , but yours is really adorable.
Congrats on your book - I can imagine how exciting that is.
Brave soul, doing a vlog. It was awesome! Def one to add to my list of things to be read.

Can. Not. Wait. For. This. Book.
I really can't wait for THE NEAR WITCH, ever since I heard about it last year. Fall 2011 is ages away!

I loved her vlog about this. Isn't she awesome? And it's a great cover!
This is on my to-be-read list too. It sounds great.
By the way, there is a link problem to Victoria's site.
The book sounds perfect for Halloween. :) And congrats to Victoria!
That vlog was so charming! And the book sounds terrifyingly wonderful! I couldn't read this one in bed with just a book light. Way too dark, way too creepy. This is a lights-on book!
Congrats to Victoria!!
Sounds ~aMaZiNg~
Sounds like a great read!
Great title. Great cover. I can't wait to read it - sounds fun.
Sounds spooky :) I haven't read a Halloween appropriate story since I was much younger. Maybe I'll have to check it out!
If they keep adding amazing stuff to WOC every month it's going to start seeming commonplace. Actually ... no it won't. It will still be awesome.
Awesome cover and blurb - and vlog! Definitely on my wish list! :)
I love that cover! And just like Victoria said, the back is a perfect image of what I pictured for her book. I can't wait to read this one!
Read the pitch and am so intrigued! Creepy but good book I just finished recently was The Replacement. Perfect for this time of year. I'm excited for Halloween!
This sounds PERFECT for Halloween! I can hardly wait to read it. You find some GREAT books!!
Sounds exactly like the kind of book I should be reading right now! Congratulations to Victoria!
I agree, sounds like the perfect read for halloween! What a fab cover too. Very atmospheric!! ;)
I have been lurking, but just have to say a HUGE thank you to EVERYONE, and to Jen for being fabulous enough to host me. These comments have made my whole week.

I put the book on my Amazon wishlist. It looks awesome. And I congratulated her. Nice to hear about good things.

You must have talked about this book before, because it sounds familiar. (And good!)
The book looks great...the cover is fantabulous!!!!

Between you and Elana, she's getting some great buzz today. :) I love the cover and am excited for her. :)
Happy Humpday, Jen!
So awesome! She's on my wish list. Er, I mean her book is. :)
How exciting!! For any author, I'm sure. And the descrip of the book looks like something I would love to read. So...I will! Congrats to Victoria and a high-five to Jen for some great publicity! :)
Sounds awesome. Love the cover.
Congratulations Victoria! That story sounds absolutely fascinating!
That blurb gave me a chill and so beautifully written too. It sounds great.
