Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev - Glitter Tour and other such fun faery magic...

And why I should be sent a free hardcover copy of Eyes Like Stars!



TEN Reasons Why:

1. I am a faery (see above photo^) and all faeries deserve a chance to win fun and glittery prizes!

2. I do have an ARC, but like most paper back novels can wear out easily, and it would be nice to have a hardcover copy to read and re-read, and to share!

3. The cover is so gorgeous and I am sad to not have such a beautiful book in my collection.

4. Where I live has a lot of historical places that I’m sure ELS would like to visit and be photographed with. The downtown architecture is breath-taking and magical. And perhaps ELS can visit my college campus too!

5. I’m a big fan of the book and Lisa – obviously I’ve already been active to win the ARC and to be aware of this contest and the possibility of receiving a hardcover book for free.

6. I’m an avid reader and book collector and hardcover books are always better.

7. I will love, cherish, dance with, and take on adventures my hardcover copy of ELS should I be privileged enough to be sent one.

8. Did I mention that I too am a faery?

9. I am an aspiring writer and I love being able to support Lisa and her debut amazing book by being able to partake in the contests and events she holds, but will not be able to do so without a copy of ELS.

10. I’m a constantly broke college student. I live on my own and pay my own bills. With my puny paycheck I am lucky to buy things I need, let alone a book that I already technically own (ARC). And would LOVE LOVE LOVE a free copy.

I really appreciate this opportunity, it’s so much fun how active in the community Lisa is. So many authors I know of seem like phantom ghosts, that maybe don’t exist, but with Lisa I feel like we’re practically friends! It’s cool how passionate she is about her work and life and I can only hope to aspire to what she has accomplished with ELS.

Thank you!

Book Review: Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev

Synopsis from goodreads.com:

Enter Stage Right

All her world’s a stage.

Beatrice Shakespeare Smith is not an actress, yet she lives in a theater.

She is not an orphan, but she has no parents.

She knows every part, but has no lines of her own.

Until now.

Welcome to the Théâtre Illuminata, where the characters of every place ever written can be found behind the curtain. They were born to play their parts, and are bound to the Théâtre by The Book—an ancient and magical tome of scripts. Bertie is not one of them, but they are her family—and she is about to lose them all and the only home she has ever known.

Lisa Mantchev has written a debut novel that is dramatic, romantic, and witty, with an irresistible and irreverent cast of characters who are sure to enchant the audience.

Open Curtain

Girlchamploo’s Quick Review:

An enchanting novel that’s quirky cast of characters kept me laughing and left me hungry for more. It’s well written and such a unique take on the world of fantasy. Lisa is a certainly story teller to be reckoned with! Splendid.
