It's almost 2016, DEV CHIBI, and a BOOKISHLY EVER AFTER Giveaway

This was the hardest chibi to keep under wraps, but I really wanted to wait for a special time to share it. New Years eve/day it is! Draskia proved yet again how amazingly talented she is with the latest Dev chibi, down to the dog-eared pages!!! 

(plus, there's US-only and international-only giveaway info at the bottom of this post, so don't forget to scroll all the way through)


Let's talk about Dev for a minute, shall we?

  • Hometown: Lambertfield, NJ
  • Hobbies: Acting, singing, clarinet, trying to learn how to play rugby (like half the guys at Pine Central), setting things on fire at camp
  • After-school activities: Marching band, Theatre Club
    • You know these first 2 bullet points? We had a lot of really sweet band and theatre guys in my high school. They were definitely some of my favorite people AND a few of my h.s. crushes. I mean, hello???? a guy who can SING? Yes, please.
  • Dream career: Actor (shh, don't tell his parents!)
  • New Years resolution: to read more awesome books recommended by one of the girls in class
Giveaway time!!!!


Happy 2016! Starting from now (December 31, 2015 EST) until tomorrow evening (January 1st, 2016, 10 pm EST), comment here or tweet at me (@Emberchyld) one of your (positive) New Years resolutions, and I'll randomly pick 1 each US and International for:

-US-only Giveaway: an Annotated ARC of BOOKISHLY EVER AFTER
-International-only Giveaway: A set of Bookishly Ever After Buttons, bookmark, bookplate, and postcard (please put "International" or "OUS" in your tweet or comment so I can sort you into this giveaway

(I LOVE International folks, but shipping is $$$$$ :( Buttons are a liiiiitle lighter than books!)

Happy New Year and I can't wait to see what 2016 brings!

    Happy New Year 2016! And thank you for the giveaway! :)

    (And US! Sorry, I forgot to put that in the first comment.)

  4. Oh my goodness, the Dev chibi is so cute! I love the Dev facts. I mean, hello-a guy with a New Year's resolution to read more books? Yes, please! In fact, that is one of my personal resolutions-to read more books than I read in 2015, and to enjoy more of the books I read in 2016 than I did in 2015. My non-book related resolutions are to learn how to cook a wider variety of food, be more organized, and to be more confident. Happy New Year! (US)

  5. My new years resolution is to save up money throughout the year so that I don't miss another NYE show from my favorite band...nye is my birthday, so I have to quit missing the trip to go see them then!

    Also, I'm aiming to read at least 52 books this year. I made it to 45 last year, so a book a week is good for my schedule!

    I'm in the US :)

  8. One of my resolutions is to stay more on top of keeping my apartment clean (including the dreaded laundry!), and to read more of the books I already own. The Devn chibi is soooooo cute!! And I just finished my e-arc of Bookishly Ever After today, I loved it!! Thanks for writing such a fun and relatable book :) I'm in the US.
