…And only asking for a little bit of love in return.
As you may know, we’ve had quite a run of success with Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, which has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 42 weeks and counting. And that kind of long term appreciation for a book is a rare gem. As a thank you from me to you, representing all of my readers, and all the readers of my clients’ wonderful, amazing titles, I’m giving away something big this time. Not just a couple of books I had in my office, not even a limited edition tote bag or flash drive (made especially for my clients as holiday gifts).
No, I wanted to do something bigger. Something that thanks you for your love of reading and rewards it. Shall I get to the point?
I’m giving away a brand new Kindle Touch.
Guys, *I* don’t even have one of these. I’ve got a first-generation Kindle, which is the 1970s Battlestar Galactica compared to the Kindle Touch’s shiny new reboot.
So what do you have to do to win? Actually, there are three different ways: first, leave a comment here. That gets you one entry. You can also check out my Page on Facebook and like me. Another entry. (What can I say? I crave your validation!) Or, you can tweet about the contest on Twitter, mentioning me, @DaphneUn, and linking to this post. That gets you a single entry as well. Want a better shot of winning? Do all three! (Maximum number of entries allowed is three, so please don’t spam your friends and Twitter followers, or think that multiple comments here will do the trick. One entry for each method of spreading the word!) I’ll randomly pick a winner from all the entries on Monday, April 9th.
And thanks. For everything you do that makes sitting here and blogging and crawling through the slush pile worth it. Thanks.

Thanks for the chance to win one of these. My home technology is so 2005?

Woo hoo! Thanks for the rad contest!
I feel kind of guilty leaving a comment, but why not? I find it hilarious that I picked up "Miss Peregrine's" completely oblivious to your connection to it.
Thanks for the contest! I would love to have an e-reader but a bit broke for one at the moment. Probably because I spend all my money on books anyway 🙂 I read Miss Peregrine back in the summer when I was sent to Paris for work (weirdly that's the third book of yours that I have read in Paris!) and loved it!
Great book, would love to read it again on a kindle!!!!!
Thanks for a great contest! I liked your facebook page (Ella Schwartz). Congrats on the success!
Wow. What an amazing giveaway! I hope I’m the winner!
Hi! Tweeted, Liked and now commenting that I don’t gave a reader at all. I would love to win, so I will keep my fingers crossed!
This is fantastic! 😀 If I win. I will donate all of my proceeds to cookies. But then I'll steal them back after I eat those cookies. I'm tired and I make no sense. I love you.
Ahhh I loved Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children! So quirky and fun and such a great read. Would love to celebrate its 42 weeks by rereading it on a prize Kindle Fire! 🙂 I'm an English teacher and I just had a lot of success doing a unit with my AP kids in Providence reading novels on e-readers at our school. I never thought I'd convert before that, but they actually taught me how to utilize the features, and it would be so cool to have my own now! Great giveaway; thanks for sharing!
Yay…pick me!!! lol…okay now I'm going to Tweet it.
What an awesome prize! You’re the best 🙂
Hooray for Daphne!! And Ransom too. So exciting to see people’s dreams coming true. 🙂
Congratulations! What a generous giveaway!

Ok, FWIW, I love the '70's Battlestar Galactica. 😀 *dates self* You're amazing. Your blog rocks, so do the books you represent, and you treat prospective clients/querying authors with incredible respect and professionalism. *offers cupcakes and warm wishes for the perfect pair of summer wedges*
Count me out for the Kindle (don't need it :D) but I wanted to say you're one of the coolest agents out there, and this contest is a prime example of why. Congrats on your success! So happy for you & Ransom! yay!
