PROJECT TELL TAYLOR & GIVEAWAY!!!

Hosts: Michelle Madow and For Those About to Read

Co-Hosts: Book Briefs, Xpresso Reads, Book Love 101, My Cute Bookshelf

WHAT IS "PROJECT TELL TAYLOR?"

I have an eFriend who wrote a book inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video.
Her name is Michelle Madow her debut novel is called Remembrance.
She wrote a blog entry a few months ago about how Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. She even wrote a letter to Taylor Swift and sent it to her, along with a signed book!

It's been a few months now, and she has yet to hear back from Taylor that she received the letter and book. She really wants to tell Taylor about how inspiring she and her music have been to her, but since Taylor Swift is an international superstar, she’s a little hard to reach. 

This is where YOUR help comes into play! Michelle is giving away the biggest prize pack she's offered yet, and the ways to enter to win are by telling Taylor Swift about Remembrance.

The Goal: Get Taylor Swift to Tweet about Remembrance!

Here is the MASSIVE PRIZE PACK for the Project Tell Taylor Giveaway!

~ A signed copy of Remembrance

~ A signed copy of Vengeance

~ A mask that resembles the one on the Remembrance cover
~ A mask that resembles the one on the Vengeance cover
~ Three signed Remembrance bookmarks

~ Two Remembrance stickers

~ Taylor Swift's "Fearless" CD
(on it is "Love Story," the song that started it all!)

~ Taylor Swift's debut album
("Our Song" and "Teardrops on my Guitar" were also influential to the creation of Remembrance)

~ Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, since it's referred to many times in Remembrance.
(And the new HarperTeen cover is so pretty!)

~ A one-of-a-kind replica of the bracelet Drew gives Lizzie.

You best believe I am entering this giveaway myself!!!

About Remembrance

 Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet. 

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind? 

Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.


So you may be asking:

But Kat, have you even read Remembrance?

YES! & you can read my thoughts on it here
OR read other reviews on Goodreads!

I find it sofrakkingcool that Michelle was inspired by Taylor Swift.
Inspiration is hard to come by.

Michelle has been my eFriend for over 7 years since I found her writing blog on mySpace
and being able to watch her follow her dreams has been something beautiful.
But what impresses me most is the fact that Michelle wrote a frikkin book that so many people have read and been inspired by themselves.

So a few weeks ago when I saw Michelle asking on Twitter for bloggers
to help spread the word of Project Tell Taylor, I knew I wanted to help out!

Now how do you help & enter the giveaway..?
 Well Michelle has shared the Rafflecopter widget with us
so you can enter direct from my blog! TECH IS SO COOL!

The Books of 2011
