Fan Playlists

Hey everyone!!  We've been talking with a lot of you lately about Fan Playlists for the books of the HUSH HUSH Saga.  So... we've decided to get going on making some for FallenArchangel, but we need your help! 

1. To start the process we are asking you to submit the songs you think fit with one or all of the books in the Saga!  Please submit them here by midnight on Sunday, October 31st. 
2. Rebecca & I will sort it all out and we will post a new form/poll with the finalists (the songs that were submitted the most times).  We will try to post the polls the first week of November.
3. Come back and VOTE for the songs you think should be on the Playlist(s).

Hopefully we can put together some playlists that will make us all happy :-)   OK, what are you waiting for go tell us what songs you think should make the playlist(s)

Celebrating CRESCENDO's Release

A Favor About Spoilers

Hey guys!! As the release dates for CRESCENDO are upon us and more and more people have and will be reading CRESCENDO let's remember.....


Becca is a master of twists and turns and her books are fabulous at keeping us on the edge of our seats, let's not ruin that for those who haven't read it yet! We ask you this.... please don't give tooo much away on the internet. And maybe you can help encourage others to do the same.

If everyone knew how hard Becca (and all authors) works on her books they would understand why it's so important to help keep the big surprises quiet. We ask that you help keep the secrets, at least for a while Thanks!!

Pre-Order CRESCENDO and Help Support FallenArchangel.com

We have a little favor to ask....

If you are planning on Pre-Ordering CRESCENDO (or making any on-line book purchases) we would be really grateful if you would think about doing so by clicking through one of our Affiliate Links.  FallenArchangel earns small commissions from all sales made through the links provided here on our blog and on our website.  We are currently affiliated (and earning commissions) with Amazon and Book Depository.

The costs of maintaining the site, paying shipping for our contests/giveaways, etc add up quickly and we'd very much appreciate any help we can get :-)  THANKS!!

Spoiler-Free Build Up to CRESCENDO

Recently we have found out just how much spoilers can ruin a book for someone.  This past week at least one review full of spoilers was posted for MOCKINGJAY, the 3rd book in THE HUNGER GAMES Trilogy by Suzanne Collins, before the book was even released! Sadly, it has ruined the book for many.

We want to remind you as we get closer and closer to the release of CRESCENDO, that Becca has put a lot of time into writing an AWESOME book for us!  Out of respect for her we encourage you to re-read this post regarding ARCs and Spoilers we posted back in July.....

Things to keep in mind if you are lucky enough to get an ARC. Remember that the official release is in October, so most people will not be reading it until then. Becca has asked that, when possible, you hold off on posting reviews until SEPTEMBER. And to please, please, please keep them Spoiler FREE. As was the case with HUSH HUSH, this book is gonna keep you turning the pages to find out what is going to happen and we really hope as many people as possible can stay spoiler free :-)

AND we encourage you, as a reader, to be careful about what you read so that you don't accidentally spoil it for yourself.   Here on FallenArchangel we have received permission and worked with both Becca and Simon & Schuster to select any teaser/cookies that are posted.  AND we are careful not to reveal any spoilers. 

We LOVE LOVE LOVE CRESCENDO sooo much, the build up throughout the book is awesome and we'd can't wait for you all to enjoy it.  :-) 

Feel free to tell us your thoughts below...

It's a great day to be a UK Becca Fitzpatrick Fan!  First our awesome contest in conjunction with Simon & Schuster UK and now this.  We have the following official announcement issued to FallenArchangel today from Simon & Schuster UK....

We’re absolutely delighted that Becca Fitzpatrick will be coming to the UK to take part in a one week publicity tour. The launch of her tour will take place at the ETERNAL TWILIGHT convention in Birmingham on 23rd October 2010 – this is a perfect place for Becca to meet some of her fans and make new ones who will no doubt love her books! She’ll be going onto do public and school events throughout the UK – public events will be announced as they are confirmed.

Hmmm wonder if Rebecca and I can stow away in Becca's luggage or something.  We'd love to tag along LOL.
