I want to start off by telling everyone how shocked I am by what has become of Sarah Dessen Week. Initially I just had this little thought in my mind to have a week full of Sarah Dessen related stuff just on my blog...look at what it has become! It probably wouldn't have been this big if it wasn't for Heidi at YA Bibliophile and Twitter. Make sure you visit Heidi's blog throughout the week as well!
I am very excited many people have signed up for Sarah Dessen Week and are reading their first Sarah Dessen Book ever! I'm looking forward to reading everyone's reviews, so make sure to link up!
Sarah Dessen will be live chatting with readers TONIGHT at 6 pm EST on Borders Facebook.
I am not a Sarah Dessen expert by any means, but I have read all of her books besides Lock and Key. I just love reading her books. Anything on the blog is either my opinion, the opinion of others, or possibly from all the research I've done for the posts for this week! ENJOY!

Wow, this post is amazing. I voted for the French version. I never seen the German and French covers before. I really liked the "The Truth About Forever" cover in the German version. And what a great giveaway for those who haven't read a Sarah Dessen book before!
ReplyDeletegosh. this post is awesome and the whole week looks huge!
ReplyDeletei really like some of those french covers ~ gorgeous :)
Yay for Sarah Dessen Week! So exciting! I can't wait to see what everyone has planned for the week!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI have one book of Sarah's on my shelf to read so l would love to win the international one =)
Excited for the rest of the week.
Thanks for the giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteI already love this week!! :D Thank you, ladies, for hosting!! I like the US covers the most.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Sarah Dessen week, so awesome!! I'm a new Sarah Dessen fan and I LOVE her writing. The US covers are the best:)
ReplyDeleteI was so incredibly excited when I heard about Sarah Dessen Week; I thought I might have a coronary! I wondered, "Could this be, an entire week dedicated to my favorite writer?!"
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to be participating and even more excited for the release of What Happened to Goodbye!
Later in the week I'll be posting a review for my favorite Dessen novel, The Truth about Forever.
Thanks again girls!

Thank you for hosting this awesome event & thank you for the giveaway as well :-)
ReplyDeleteOhhh I really like the UK covers aside from the fonts. They're so pretty and interesting I think:) I love seeing all the different covers and how the designers decide to represent the story!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I do love the US covers and the UK ones too, but I got all US so that makes them a little special for me.
You guys, this is such a great idea. Thank you for hosting. It's only the first day and it's already so fun to read everyone's posts!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I am really looking forward to it. Who doesn't love Dessen? Thanks for the great giveaway, too!
ReplyDeleteWow,
ReplyDeleteI am completely bamboozled by the generosity that you guys are displaying towards your readers! Thank you SO much!
That being said, I voted for the US version of the covers. Why? Because there is an ethereal feel to them - they feel like moments captured in time, which is what I believe Sarah Dessen's books feel like. Stories, ensnared by a brilliant author, brought to paper. Thank you SO much for hosting this amazingly generous giveaway. Really appreciate it! :D

ReplyDeleteWOW THANKS SO MUCH!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been following most of the posts this week, for the Sarah Dessen week. I haven't been able to follow all of them because tragedy struck and my uncle passed away last week - I had to drive up to San Francisco for his funeral, so I missed out a bunch of stuff. But I just wanted to say, some of these posts, these comments really made me smile, and made my day during these difficult times. Also, the giveaways are a testament to the generosity of book bloggers, which ALWAYS astounds me and leaves me awe-inspired! :) Thank you SO much for arranging this monstrosity of awesomeness! :D
