Gives You Music (aka. Debs ‘09 Playlist Giveaway!)

~~It’S gIvEaWaY tImE~~

Okay, so months and months ago I asked a bunch of the ‘09 Debs to help me out with a super and secret project I was putting together and, because they are all such fabulous people, they happily obliged.

The project? The Debs ‘09 Playlist Project.

I asked many of the debut authors of this year to share with me a few songs they relate strongly to their debuts. The results were fantastic! Sixteen songs. Fifteen books. Two playlist giveaways. (And that’s not including the big bunch of songs that they gave to me that didn’t end up on the giveaways, but that will be part of a larger playlist on 8tracks.com.)

I know. You’re excited. I’M EXCITED TOO!!!

What do you have to do to be entered in the contest? Here are DA RULEZ:

  • The contest runs from now until November 15th, so you have plenty of time to enter and make your friends enter.
  • Leave a comment on THIS POST telling me one (or more) of your theme songs.
  • +1 Tweet this contest, and leave a link to your tweet.
  • +1 Blog about this contest, and leave a link to the entry.
  • +1 Give me cupcakes. (Alright, alright, that one’s a joke.)
  • Also (and this is VERY IMPORTANT), I’m going to be gifting the music to the winners though iTunes so YOU MUST HAVE AN ITUNES ACCOUNT TO ENTER/WIN.
  • There will be two winners, both chosen randomly. They will each win one playlist (8 songs) full of amazing, debs-worthy songs.

So, GET THEE TO THE COMMENTING! The songs have been chosen by such incredible authors as Courtney Summers, Sarah Ockler, JA Yang, and Hannah Moskovitz. They are great and the songs, which run the gamut from Fergie to Taylor Swift to Motion City Soundtrack to incredible songs and artists I hadn’t heard of before, are also incredible.

AND I’M SO EXCITED!! COMMENT!!

    my theme song is either jump rope by blue october or even if it breaks your heart by Will Hoge.

  10. Hmm, I guess my theme song would have to be either A Place In This World by Taylor Swift or Love Me Like the World Is Ending by Ben Lee. I of course had to pick something Taylor Swift because she is my favorite, but I picked A Place In This World because I’m still trying to find my place in this world. I picked Love Me Like the World Is Ending because it’s such a great song. I do have to give credit to Sarah Dessen though, as she is the one who introduced me to the song!

  11. Okay, so on my previous entry I gave you the link to my blog but here is the direct link to the specific entry: http://the-truth-about-books.blogspot.com/2009/11/author-playlist-contest.html

  12. My current theme songs are two by Ray LaMontagne: Empty and Let It Be Me. The sound is so sad in Empty – so much he’s given up completely. But in Let It Be Me there is hope within the sadness, that life may stink really bad, but there is hope and there will be someone who is there for you if you let them. Both songs just weasle into my heart as they play and speak truth. That makes a good song to me.
