The #RaceofOblivion is now over!

The winner is Danielle H!

Thank you to everyone who participated, especially to my amazing street team! You can find all their social media info below. They are the absolute best team an author could ever hope for!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you want to be part of an online tour sending Astrid from CROWN OF OBLIVION around the world?

Do you want the chance to win $100 worth of books?

Then enter the #RaceofOblivion! One winner will receive a $100 gift card to the book retailer of their choice!

Here’s how it works:

In CROWN OF OBLIVION, Astrid puts her life on the line by participating in a dangerous cross-country race. So to help her get warmed up, we’re sending her on a virtual race around the world! The #RaceofOblivion is all about posting pictures of a cutout image of Astrid in a variety of different locations. To participate, you can use the cutout bookmark that comes in the Pre-order Giveaway, or print out the cutout image of Astrid that’s attached below. Keep reading after the sample #RaceofOblivion pics below!

Want to get in on the race and enter for a chance to win 100 Bucks Worth of Books?

Here’s what you need to do:

The best way to enter is to pre-order Crown of Oblivion, so you will receive the cutout bookmark of Astrid. The bookmark is perfect for taking pics for the #RaceofOblivion! (Don’t know about the pre-order giveaway? Click here for all the details!) The pre-order giveaway is international, and as soon as we receive your proof of purchase, your bookmark will be shipped, along with the other pre-order goodies! Once you receive your bookmark in the mail, snap a pic of Astrid in the location of your choice—in front of a landmark, in your home, running down your street—and upload it to social media using #RaceofOblivion. Then head over to the Rafflecopter (below) and enter your info for your five chances to win! Each time you post a pic of the pre-order bookmark, you will receive five more chances to win!

Want to enter but can’t pre-order the book? You can still receive a chance for the 100 Bucks Worth of Books giveaway! Print out the cutout image of Astrid below, cut it out, and then snap a pic as you would with the bookmark! Want more chances to win? Post more photos! Each post of the printed cutout will earn you one chance at the prize!

Can’t pre-order and don’t have a printer? Click here to open a page with a downloadable cutout image with a transparent background. You can use this cutout to make a digital pic of Astrid using a photo editing app of your choice! (I’ve used Canva.com to make digital pics.) Edit the cutout image of Astrid into a picture, post it like you would a photo you took, and enter using the Rafflecopter. Each digital photo you post using the Astrid cutout will earn you one chance at the prize!

For every entry, make sure to post with #RaceofOblivion and enter your posts into the Rafflecopter below!

 

You can print this cutout of Astrid to use for the #RaceofOblivion! Right-click on the image to save it, then print it out. You can color it, if you don’t have a color printer. Cut out Astrid and snap her picture in the location of your choice. Post your picture online, and then use the Rafflecopter to enter the #RaceofOblivion!
