Hi guys,

I'm so pumped up for the INK blog tour! A big thank you to the amazing Amanda Sun for collaborating with me on this tour, where over six days, we will have various book bloggers reviewing the book and doing promotional posts...

In short, everything will be about "Why I love INK" :)

Get ready to see how awesome INK is from various perspectives, and if you are still hesitating about this book, be convinced thoroughly by all the INK-love <3

BLURB


I looked down at the paper, still touching the tip of my shoe. I reached for it, flipping the page over to look.

Scrawls of ink outlined a drawing of a girl lying on a bench.

A sick feeling started to twist in my stomach, like motion sickness.

And then the girl in the drawing turned her head, and her inky eyes glared straight into mine.

On the heels of a family tragedy, the last thing Katie Greene wants to do is move halfway across the world. Stuck with her aunt in Shizuoka, Japan, Katie feels lost. Alone. She doesn’t know the language, she can barely hold a pair of chopsticks, and she can’t seem to get the hang of taking her shoes off whenever she enters a building.

Then there’s gorgeous but aloof Tomohiro, star of the school’s kendo team. How did he really get the scar on his arm? Katie isn’t prepared for the answer. But when she sees the things he draws start moving, there’s no denying the truth: Tomo has a connection to the ancient gods of Japan, and being near Katie is causing his abilities to spiral out of control. If the wrong people notice, they'll both be targets.

Katie never wanted to move to Japan—now she may not make it out of the country alive.

Paperback, 377 pages
Expected publication: June 25th 2013 by Harlequin Teen


ABOUT AMANDA

I’m a YA author and proud Nerdfighter. I was born in Deep River, Canada, a very small town without traffic lights or buses, and where stranger safety is comprised of what to do if you see a bear—or skunk. I started reading fantasy novels at 4 and writing as soon as I could hold a pencil. Hopefully my work’s improved since then.

In university I took English, Linguistics, and Asian History, before settling into Archaeology, because I loved learning about the cultures and stories of ancient people. Of course, I didn’t actually become an archaeologist—I have an intense fear of spiders. I prefer unearthing fascinating stories in the safety of my living room.

The Paper Gods is inspired by my time living in Osaka and travelling throughout Japan. That and watching far too many J-Dramas. I currently live in Toronto with
my husband and daughter. When I’m not writing, I’m devouring YA books, knitting nerdy things like Companion Cubes and Triforce mitts, and making elaborate cosplays for anime cons.

  5. I've always been really into the japanese culture, and I just adore to read manga and watch anime. So the fact that an actual book is based in japan and has japanese culture in it, sounds really exciting! I know I'll like it! :)

  6. To be honest, I read INK already, but I had to send my ARC away and I'm planning on buying a bunch of copies for my friends anyway so I hope you don't mind me entering the giveaway! :3

    Anyways, INK is pretty much one of the best books Japan fans can ask for. Or just book fans, really. Thanks for kicking off such an awesome giveaway and I hope everyone who sees this post reads INK, yo! ^.^
