ALA Midwinter Wrap-Up

Now that we're back from ALA Midwinter in Dallas, Texas, we can share a few photos.

The Annick booth, full of great reads old and new.

We were giving away advance reading copies of EREBOS, our latest YA thriller!

Bloggers show off their copies of EREBOS--we hope they enjoy it!

If you didn't make it to ALA Midwinter, or were too late to get an Erebos ARC, you can read it on NetGalley.com. If you like the sound of a creepy, suspenseful thriller about an addictive computer game that seems to know far too much about its players--and requires them to do tasks in the real world to advance in the game--this is the book for you.

And now it's time for some trivia: comment on this post to tell us what the word "Erebos" means and you could win your own Erebos ARC! Winner will be selected at random.
