Kyla’s memory has been erased, her personality wiped blank, her memories lost for ever.
She’s been Slated.
The government claims she was a terrorist, and that they are giving her a second chance - as long as she plays by their rules. But echoes of the past whisper in Kyla’s mind. Someone is lying to her, and nothing is as it seems. Who can she trust in her search for the truth?

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive. Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous-it's a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall. In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.
Like I said guys, its going to be a holy guacamole giveaway for the last few months of the year. This giveaway is for an extra large t-shirt that I got from the Becca Fitzpatrick signing at BEA this year. Since this book would never fit me, I figured I would pass it on to someone that would enjoy it in time for the release of the final book. This giveaway is running for just short of 2 weeks so that I can get this in the mail in time for you to wear it on October 23, 2012!
The back!
And the Front!
For the record, this shirt runs small, it says its an XL, but it looks more like a medium, but by all means, no one is restricted from entering. This is open to US citizen only and will run until October 12, 2012.
So on Sunday I got to go into the city for a book signing that I have been super pumped about, well, since Tahereh Mafi posted about it on Twitter. So not only was it with Tahereh Mafi who wrote Shatter Me, (which I rave about too much) but there was also Lauren Oliver (Liesl & Po, Before I Fall, Delirium, Pandemonium) and Anna Carey who wrote Eve and last, but certainly not least, Under The Never Sky's own Veronica Rossi.
The name of this tour was Spring Into the Future (Get it, they're all dystopian books?) and it was really cool, it was the first book signing, reading that I've been to in a long time. (The last one was Summer Sanders with Champions are Raised, Not Born) I still enjoyed it never the less and I plan on going out to more of them now that I'm home. So check out the pictures from the visit to Books of Wonder in NYC. (Ps. Sorry the pictures are so strangely aligned, sometimes I just hate Blogger.)
Our Lovely Authors in the limelight
The wonderful Tahereh Mafi
Veronica Rossi
Lauren Oliver and Anna Carey
Some TOTALLY AWESOME SWAG from Tahereh Mafi.
(She posted pictures of this on Facebook, and I really wanted
this one and I was so pumped that I got it!)
I'm also convinced that the page on the top is from
Unravel Me but that could just be wishful thinking.
So for the really exciting part, I got two posters signed by the authors, one for myself and one for my sister's school! ONE OF THEM CAN BE YOURS! Check out below for details! I'VE DECIDED TO MAKE THIS INTERNATIONAL!
