A Shade/Shift/Shine fans must read!

My first non-review post that contains actual information! How exciting! *throws confetti*

As anyone who knows me can tell you, I am in love with the Shade trilogy written by Jeri Smith-Ready. I am very glad that a review of an ARC of Shine was my very first book to review. I find it quite symbolic of the current life that I live. :)

Anyway, in that post, I provide a bunch of links to amazing things concerning the Shade trilogy. These links included Kilt and Keeley, the one and only Shade fan site! It is an amazing resource for all fans (new and old) to the series. It has information on all the characters and a very lengthy glossary that includes anything you'd want to know about anything in the series.

The group that runs Kilt and Keeley are TOO fantastic. I mean that with all sincerity. They are the nicest people in the world and love to have giveaways! That's what has lead to this entire post!

They are giving away a TON of stuff because of the fast approaching release of Shine! (Available May 1!) All you have to do to enter? Pre-order your copy of Shine (which I know you were going to do anyway!) Once you pre-order, send a copy of your receipt (blacking out all financial information) to ShinePreorder@kiltandkeeley.com! Then, just make sure you're following Kilt and Keeley through GFC, Facebook, or Twitter (but I suggest all three!)

That. Is. It.

Once you've managed to follow steps one and two, you are automatically entered to win the grand prize (which is being added to when every level of pre-orders is reached). Level four has already been reached! The ladder looks like this right now:

• LEVEL 1 (5 pre-orders):  (COMPLETE!) The winner will get a ZOGAN trading card, PLUS a signed Shade series bookmark, a signed Keeley Brothers button, AND Mumford and Sons album. 

• LEVEL 2 (15 pre-orders): (COMPLETE!) The winner will get everything above PLUS a Flogging Molly CD! 

• LEVEL 3 (30 pre-orders):(COMPLETE!)  The winner will get everything above PLUS a Naruto action figure because you know we have to include something to represent Dylan!

• LEVEL 4 (50 pre-orders): Winner will receive a Mumford & Sons CD, a signed bookmark, the signed Keeley Brothers button, a Flogging Molly CD, a Naruto action figure and some great SHINE related books:
