Triviadventure: Win 3 Boxes of Books! (ARCs and Finished Copies)

It's been too long since we've had a Triviadventure book giveaway at The Readventurer. For those of you who haven't been following the blog since its inception, Triviadventures are just our excuse to give book lovers a chance to exercise their brains rather than their fingers when entering to win some sweet book prizes. Each of us is offering up a mixed box of books that we'd like to pass on to another reader.  From prior trivia giveaways, we know that people usually have fun trying to figure out what the books are even if they don't win. There's no real connection or theme to the books we have to give away this time other than the fact that they are all YA books. Most are ARCs, some old, some current, some fall releases; some are finished copies. It's all part of the mystery and fun!  

Answers must include the full title and the author's name to qualify.  You can enter for just one box, two, or all three! Each winner will be picked by a randomizer after the sender (one box is coming from each of us) deletes any incorrect responses. Contest is valid in the U.S. and Canada only. Open until 12:01 am, PST on 9/13.  Best of luck!

Here's what we have to give away:

Triviadventurer at The Readventurer - Box #1
Box #1:
1) This fall dystopian release features people living in a bubble and the title is something you do every day. 

2) One of my favorite books as a child was written by Margery Williams. Arguably her most famous work featured a particular animal made of something. That something is also the title of this book, published by an author from the Pacific Northwest. 

3) Set at Coral Tree Prep, a ritzy school in Los Angeles, the plot of this book revolves around the daughter of the principal and the son of Hollywood hotshots. 

4) This book caused quite the drama on Goodreads earlier this year. It's a "girl in a dress" cover and the male lead's name always reminds me of The Karate Kid's "Wax On, Wax Off" part (though I'm sure the pronunciation isn't actually supposed to rhyme with Wax On) 

5) There are eight girl characters in this novel: Danielle Demarco, Abby Warner, Candace Kincaid, Lauren Finn, Sarah Singer, Bridget Honeycutt, Jennifer Briggis, Margo Gable. But who's pretty and who's ugly? 

6) The protagonist of this book has something in common with Tyrion Lannister, Willow, and Finbar McBride from The Station Agent. Somewhat based on historical fact, this story, by an author whose last name is also an ecosystem, ponders whether our destinies are predetermined. The main character is from Astraveld. (It's a fall release and the ecosystem is similar to a swamp)

To answer the questions for Box #1, fill out THIS FORM. (CONTEST CLOSED)

Triviadventure at The Readventurer - Box #2
Box #2:
1) This historical, magical espionage fantasy was published in 2011 and contains beautiful illustrations and a crafty street urchin named Pip.

2) This book, which is about 15 year old Jeff's suicide attempt and subsequent stint in the mental ward of a hospital, is a lot more hilarious than it sounds.  

3) I have an extra copy of this, because it's my favorite work from my favorite Australian author.  I am willing to part with it, as long as the winner promises to keep his or her hands off my cadet.

4) Another of my favorite contemporary YA's, this emotionally draining read features a young girl named Deanna and her struggle with the derogatory labels she's given by her parents and peers.

5) While this book wasn't for me, I am so happy to be able to pass on this fabbity fab fab read to someone who will give it a good home.

6) Gimme question - this is the sequel to the answer for question 5. 

To answer the questions for Box #2, fill out THIS FORM. (CONTEST CLOSED)

Picture
Box #3: 
1) In the words of its author, this book is about "telepathic samurai girls & griffins in steampunk feudal Japan."

2) Two heroines in this story - one dead lying on the side of a rural road, and another plotting her escape from the suffocating influence of her tiny, backwater hometown.

3) This Is Not actually about zombies, even though there are zombies in this novel.

4) This book is just a few letters away from being Emily Bronte's famous broody masterpiece. Only it's funny, and involves hosiery and the THEATRE dahling, the theatre!

5) The hero of this novel has an uncanny resemblance to Percy Jackson, but his claim to fame is not of Olympus variety, but is connected to Atlantis.

6) A post-graduation road trip, a dissolution of long friendship, music. Guess the name of the main characters' band, and you've guessed the title of this contemporary YA novel written by a Morris Award–finalist.

To answer the questions for Box #3, fill out THIS FORM.  (CONTEST CLOSED)


Good Luck!

OMG! I just know the answer to two questions. You guys, have you considered working for a magazine?
Obviously I'm not entering with only two questions down! :-)

WEll I probably just wasted an hour trying to guess all these. I am pretty sure the second set I have no clue on the last two but the other two packs I have some confidant guesses. Here's hoping that my efforts pay off!

Fuuuuun! You guys are so Leslie Knope. :) I'm just assuming Lil Sebastian is the answer to all the questions.

And ahhhh, is that a troll doll on a bridge?

Yes! It's a troll bridge! Heee. If you submit that answer form with all Lil' Sebastians you will definitely win. Something.

This is awesome practice for when someone comes up to me and says I want to find this book about this person who did this but I don't know the name of the book or the author. ( That happens A LOT in a library)

This was so much fun to do at work instead of working, you guys. I feel like a regular Nancy Drew. I couldn't participate for box #2 though - I couldn't figure those out! Whose box is that? You are a trickster. I might look at them again after work because having twenty windows open doesn't look very subtle, lol.

Holy moly! I've somehow managed to do Box 1 and 2 but I think I've used up all my brain power because I'm drawing major blanks at most of the items in box 3. Time to grab some more coffee I think. This is too freaking fun, you guys. A lot more fun than the work I should be doing! :P

Fun giveaway! I went for Box #1!

I actually messed up on the last answer and so sent in another entry - please ignore the first one! - Last book was super hard as I haven't heard about it before, unlike the other books!

Thanks,
Leanne
