Leap Badge No.9 and Pre-order Discounts!

Once in a blue moon... a publisher comes along that does things differently. Leap Books is just such a publisher.

We’d like to end up on your shelves, so we’re offering a BLUE MOON SPECIAL good throughout the first month of 2010. If you order (or pre-order) any Leap Books titles from our website during January, type in the coupon code BLUE MOON for an automatic 10% discount. Code will be valid for one-time use.

And don’t forget to snag our final contest badge for additional Leap Books swag during January. To participate in our giveaways, post the badge on your Blog, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Email us at contests@leapbks.com with the address of the page where you loaded it.

And the Winners Are...

We waited until 1:11 on 1/1/2010 to post our first list of winners on our first day of business, which is the first day of the New Year. We have lots more FIRSTS coming up.

First of all, a great BIG thank you to everyone who entered our contest. We loved seeing our badges popping up on the best blogs on the Internet. You're ALL #1 in our book.

And now, drumroll please...

And we have still more swag headed your way. We will be awarding ARCs for Under My Skin and author Bonnie J. Doerr will be giving away Island-themed jewelry and some copies of Island Sting to celebrate her book debut this week. And stay tuned for author Kitty Keswick's Freaksville giveaways next weekend. To participate in these giveaways, watch for the first Leap badge of the new year. Post that or any other Leap badges, then send us an email at contests@leapbks.com. 

Guess what? We're still not done giving stuff away. Watch for our Blue Moon Special--an added discount for Leap fans who pre-order any of our debut books. And bloggers who host our authors on the Traveling 2 Teens tour will receive ARCs while the supplies last. Contact Public Relations Assistant, Cathleen Cartwright, at marketing@leapbks.com to set up an interview with your favorite author.

Sharing the Leap Badge Love....

We have to say we have the best readers...or pre-readers since we're officially launching on January 1st 2010! (It's almost here!) Everyone on the Leap staff is tickled pink or purple or whatever your favorite color, about the responses we get from our reviewers, readers and fans!
Bookaholics unite! We love your emails! You rock!
And to share the Leap badge love, we'd thought we'd do a random shout out every week to a few of our fans...
