I was contacted last week by a lovely lady over at AO , an online appliance store based in the UK who told me she wanted to give me free books! I know what you're thinking - "Lisa you just got spammed" but this is no joke. There are people (and companies) in the world who believe RAK and making people happy! I got to pick a couple of books I've been wanting to read and they're on their way via Amazon to me! However   AO 's generosity doesn't stop there, they want to give YOU free books as well. However since I have no idea what everyone wants to read, I mean the books I want to read might not be what you guys want to read RIGHT? So through  AO , I am hosting a giveaway for a $50 Amazon Giftcard! With this giftcard you can books or anything else you want to (but hey, we all know it's going to be books).  So all you have to do to enter yourself to win is fill out the Rafflecopter form below - Open Internationally a Rafflecopter giveaway Goodluck! And th...

Hey guys! As part of Amy Tintera's Australian Blog Tour for her YA debut, REBOOT (Australian Publisher - Allen and Unwin), she's stopping over at Badass Bookie for a quick Q and A today. I don't know how many of you have heard of Amy's debut, REBOOT , but it sounds amazing! Definitely can't wait to dig into my copy!   Interview with Amy Tintera  1) Can you describe Reboot for us in three words? Enslaved undead teenagers! 2) How did you come up with the plot for Reboot? (It’s such a unique and interesting concept I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING) Thank you! J I came up with Wren first, and the plot followed. I got this idea for a girl who’d been dead for 178 minutes, and I wanted to put a new twist on the zombie story. Zombies were always these gross, undead things, but I thought it would be interesting to see things from their perspective (you know, without the rotting flesh!). 3) Can you tell us about why you were interested in writing a YA novel? I love reading YA. I...
