List form because my brain is fried:
1. Thank you all so much for coming.
2. Next time I will be even more organized to cut down on the spam madness. Perhaps I will have you all send me your questions ahead of time so they only need to get answered once. That way I won't get kicked off the twitter!! :) #SpamQueen
3. Some of the winner-calls were hard to make. This person was clearly first, but she didn't respond to the right tweet. One of you had an even longer name for da Vinci that I didn't find when I researched the question. I did the best I could, tried to be fair, but admit that I am human and hope no one resents me. Boy do I have newfound respect for referees, umpires, gymnastics judges, etc.
4. It appears two answers were right on Breathless Reads question. Sapphique was in the boxed set but Across the Universe went on the tour. I made that question up on the fly because we needed another one when a winner opted not to select a prize, and I'm not sure why the touring group differed from the boxed set. I apologize. I believe @inthebestworlds clocked first with that answer, but if anyone can verify that or knows how to review the feed and can send me a screen capture I will make that right for the other winner.
5. In the coming months, I will give away at least one ARC on my blog via a Where in the World is Belladonna?? contest. I did this with Venom and people found it to be a lot of fun, so keep an eye out for that :)
6. WINNERS: (no worries if your twitter handle is a little off--due to my sloppy hurried contest scribbling--as long as YOU know who you are and I can match your address and verify your identity).

Cyborg/Pixie/Editrix/Wunderkind Beth is in charge of doling out the Belladonna ARC. (I can haz only one right now, and I NEEDS it). NOTE: An ARC is not a finished product and there are a few minor blips in there and a couple of words that are not time-period appropriate, which will be changed. Feel free to email me with any other mistakes you notice. This is helpful :)
Rants, raves, and random musings from a professional daydreamer. Now with adorable cat pictures.

#VenomReleaseParty PRIZES AND RULES
The attendance prizes, generously provided by Penguin Teen and Paper Lantern:
*I am giving 6 and 7 away as 2-packs because these books are already out (or will be by the time my post office delivers them) so I expect them to be less in demand. But they are all awesome, I assure you :)
RULES:
1. Open internationally
2. We're going to be playing games where the 'right answer' might not be completely black and white. My decision is final. (I'll try really hard not to screw up).
3. Max of 2 attendance prizes per guest
4. Must. Have. Fun.

#VenomReleaseParty
Join me at
the #VenomReleaseParty
October 30th,
6-8pm Central time
No technical difficulties. No uncomfortable clothes. No panic. There will probably still be awkwardness because, you know, I’m going to be there, but the best thing about this launch party is that by having it on the interwebz everyone from Alaska to Zimbabwe can come. (Note: The timing of the party might be a tad late if you live in Zimbabwe. Sorry).
So why do you want to come to this
party? See the above line about how I’m going to be there J Oh, also, there will be prizes.
Attendance prizes: All you have to do is show up at the party, AKA
follow the #VenomReleaseParty hashtag and wait for me to announce giveaways. If
you’ve played Where in the World is
Venom?? you know that my giveaways tend to be A LOT of fun. Expect a mix of
trivia and task-oriented questions spread throughout the two hours.
The attendance prizes, generously
provided by Penguin Teen:
2. ARC of Prodigy by Marie Lu
3. ARC of Orleans by Sherri L. Smith
4. ARC of Out of the Easy by Ruta Septys
5. ARC of Rise by Andrea Cremer
6. Not pictured: A Breathless Reads 2-pack: ARCs of The Innocents and Black City
7. Not pictured: A Paper Lantern Lit 2-pack: paperback of Fury and hardcover of Envy, both by Elizabeth Miles. Also includes 2 Butterfly Clues bookmarks and a Paper Lantern Lit totebag. Tres cute!
*I am giving 6 and 7 away as 2-packs because these books are already out (or will be by the time my post office delivers them) so I expect them to be less in demand. But they are all awesome, I assure you :)
But Fiona, what if I can’t make it to your party in real time because I do live in Zimbabwe and I have to go to sleep before 0100? Well, that brings us to the…
