Win a Copy of Daughter of Smoke and Bone!

When you’ve been in this fandom long enough, you relize that Stephenie Meyer doesn’t speak up too often! But when she does, her fans listen. Earlier this week Stephenie posted the following on her website:

Happy New Year, everyone, and I hope you had a fantastic holiday season! This is not a real update, I just like to spread the word when I come across a book that excites me. I read Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor last weekend (sequel to Daughter of Smoke & Bone) and I’m all fired up about it. Thank you, Ms. Taylor, for a thrilling couple of days. I am in your debt.
(Warning readers: this is one of those series that will have you tearing at your hair and gnashing your teeth waiting for the next installment. Be prepared.)
