meltintall3The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Autographed copies available here
I have yet to read a book by Maggie Stiefvater because I do not usually read paranormal romances. But Shiver is on my list of books I'd read if I saw it at the library. Because she has a cool blog and pretty covers.
However! The Scorpio Races has a premise I can get excited about because I am a horse story junkie and it sounds like one of the British stories that would get a chapter published in a horse story anthology with line drawings and everyone would wear turtleneck sweaters and jodhpurs and there would be lovely descriptions of the countryside and the occasional death-defying heroine on a black horse. And by entering in the contest I have a 0.0000004% chance of winning a copy that is doodled in and prettified.
So even though I didn't even know this book existed until this morning I am now excited about it. Also, even if horse stories aren't your thing, you should definitely listen to the trailer. The music is... SWOON.
