Our friends over at Novel Novice have some exciting news that we want to share with you…

Novel Novice is launching a mega countdown to the July 20th release of Linger by Maggie Stiefvater. This is the sequel to Shiver. They will be featuring cool posts every Saturday — and then every day starting July 13th — all leading up to the July 20th release of Linger.

And they’re kicking off the countdown with a great contest – and the prize is an advance copy of Linger! (Second place: a copy of Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater). The contest runs through May 22nd, and there are lots of ways to enter. See all the rules & details here:

We’re even teaming up with Shiver fansite Behind Yellow Eyes for some cool posts & prizes. (And if you’re interested in partnering up with us for some Linger countdown goodness, shoot us an email!)

Sounds like fun. Check it out.
