I've had such a crazy couple weeks, bouncing around between book conventions. And at the end of this week, I promise a long update on the Romantic Times Convention and Teen Book Con. (I mean, you all want to know about the ridiculously cool YA authors, booksellers, librarians, and readers I met, right?)
But I have other news I need to celebrate! The day I got back from my world travels (okay, I just went to Chicago and Houston, but whatever), I saw my gorgeous, newly designed website: http://www.tarahudson.com/. Isn't it fantastic? It has all the creepy beauty of my original design, but now it's much more interactive with my Twitter feed, the latest blog posts, pictures and playlists for my books, etc.
It is missing one thing, however: a playlist for ARISE! I've already picked out the first fifteen songs, which will be featured (with story notes!) on http://www.epicreads.com/ and Amazon to get you ready for ARISE's release date of June 5th. But I still need your help before the entire playlist is revealed.
I've listed four candidates for ARISE's "Bonus" song, i.e. the song that captures the overall feel of the HEREAFTER series. The song with the most votes wins, and everyone who votes (via blog comments, Facebook comments, and Twitter @ mentions) is entered for a chance to win one of two signed ARCs of ARISE!!! (Contest open internationally, and it ends Friday at 10 pm CST.)
So, here we go. I love all three of these equally, but YOU get to decide which one wins!
1. Open Your Arms - The Editors
2. No Light, No Light - Florence + the Machine
3. C'est la Mort - The Civil Wars
4. The Write-in Option! Suggest a different song and if I just can't help but love it, it wins!
I can't wait to read your thoughts on the new website, listen to your fantastic song choices, and give away some more ARCs of ARISE!!!

ReplyDeleteHI! Super duper excited for Arise. Checked out your new website-very professional. I would vote for #3. C'est la Mort - The Civil Wars. It really captures the essence of the Hereafter series.My favorite verse from the song is:
ReplyDeleteC'est la vie, c'est la mort.
(It is life, it is death.)
You and me,
Forevermore.
It talks about death,drowning and love. Thanks for the ARC giveaway!

My vote has to go to "No Light, No Light". Florence and her magnificent machine are fantastic, and this song is dramatic.
ReplyDeleteBad, rhyme. I know. But with lyrics like these:
'Cause it's so easy
To say it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love
To say it to you out loud

I'm going to have to go with a write in and vote for
ReplyDeleteA Tout le Monde by Megadeth, don't let the band fool you. LOL!
The song is partly done in French and it's all about death. But it's such a beautiful song!

Love that you're getting the readers in on things like this!! <3
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose! Though I have to say my final vote has to be for:
2. No Light, No Light by Florence & The Machine.
However there is a song I thought about entering and I wanted to share it anyways. It's called:
Lonely Hands by Angus & Julia Stone. It's so haunting and beautiful.

ReplyDeletetessireysia@live.com
My favorite is No Light, No Light by Florence + the Machine, it's a great song.
ReplyDeleteYour new website is really nice, and I checked the FAQ, in France Hereafter was published in August last year, and its title is "Au-delà" :)
As I love Florence + The Machine I vote for No Light, No Light。:)
ReplyDeletePS, I love your new website!
C'est la Mort. This song goes with the book perfectly I think!
DeleteOops forgot to write my email:D it's verrein@web.de
DeleteI like all three songs but I'm gonna pick C'est la Mort by The Civil Wars as the song goes better with the story :)
ReplyDeleteThose are all awesome songs. I just recently listened to Mumford and Sons (oh Marcus is so cute) "Ghosts That We Knew" and instantly thought of Hereafter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WQeEhRIcts Love the new website color since it's my favorite.

Ps: This isn't my entry, but People C'mon by Delta Spirit is another good one and reminds me of Eli. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIHx9CYPgQo
C'est la Mort by The Civil Wars! I love The Civil Wars. Florence is wonderful too, but C'est makes me think of your book and it fits beautifully. I'm dying to read Arise! Dying! :)))
ReplyDeleteI vote for C'est la Mort:) It reminds me of your book soo much!
ReplyDeletetessireysiia@live.de
Florence + the Machines! Love that song.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing choices, but my favorite is definitely C'est la Mort by The Civil Wars. I can't imagine a more perfect song to fit the mood of ARISE. Thank you!!!
