I really should keep track of these so I can do better subject lines.
I still have a few ARCs to give away and I want to do those this week. I’ll do one Friday, when I announce my tour dates. And I’ll do one now.
So, speaking of tours… I have school visits for the rest of the week. I was looking up the address of the one tomorrow morning so I’d see how god-awful early I need to get up to drive to it. When I googled the school name, though, I got pages of hits for a Miley Cyrus song. Weird. Turns out, she has a song by the same name…because the woman who wrote it went to that school here in Ontario.
Let’s have some fun with this odd tidbit of trivia, then, as I send you on an Internet scavenger hunt for the answer.
Email contest@kelleyarmstrong.com with:
1) the name of the school I’ll be visiting
2) the “real” address of it. In Ontario, not in the song. Give me the street address and city name.
I will accept entries until noon tomorrow (March 9), when I’ll draw from correct ones and notify the winner via email.
DO NOT POST THE ANSWER HERE. YOU’LL DECREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING BY GIVING IT AWAY…AND PISS OFF EVERYONE WHO RESEARCHED IT
I now officially know more about Miley Cyrus than I ever cared to. Also, I feel exceedingly old. But it was a fun little hunt, so thanks for that.
Lol! Thankfully I think I avoided the worst of the Miley Cyrus information overload but it was still fun! I love these sort of comps!
Thank you for the fun Internet scavenger hunt. I really did enjoy it.
Thanx Kelley soooo much for all these chances to win ARC’s, cant wait for the gathering to come out!!! Yeah!!!
It was quite an interesting topic, never really new that was one of Miley’s songs.
That was fun! I only hope I got it right!
well, at least I know I got it right, considering I go to the school you’re visiting tomorrow! insanely excited to meet you for the second time tomorrow! I also met you in Brampton on the Super Chicks tour.
Oh my gosh! You’re soooooo super lucky!!! I would so love to meet Kelley Armstrong one day!!! Enjoy meeting her!!!! And good luck in the contest!
Thanks!
and you as well!
Thanks! =D
well that took me hours and hours but i found it….!!!! though the person above said that she already knew the answer so now i feel depressed since it took me 3 hours and i finally found it while she didnt even have to look for the answer and just typed it up….*sigh*
but thanks anyway!!!!i love that you actually are making this fun and giving us a chance to win books we love !!!! LOVE IT !!!!!THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha, sorry.
I just happen to go to the school, so I didn’t need to look it up.
good luck with the contest!
For me it only took a couple of minutes
Yeah I think I had it in about 10! I probably could have found it by ringing my niece though, she loves Hannah Montana and probably has the Miley albums at home to torture my brother with! (though I find it really funny that my brother has whispered to me that he secretly likes a couple of ‘Hannah’s’ songs but not to tell anyone! Yeah right, like I’m really gonna keep quiet with info like that! Lol!) My niece probably could have given me the answer straight away but it’s more fun to find it for yourself!
thank you you guys!!!!!!
Yay, Ontario!
Theres No Place Like This! <3
Great contest! took me several hours to find it but I think I got the right school and good luck to everyone else
siiiiigh. NEVER wanted to know that much about Miley Cyrus. ever. was not on my to-do list…and yet now that ive figured it out, im feelin like a Super Detective
you are super lucky Ontarians!!!!! We New Hampshireians can only dream of such an oppertunity…GOOD LUCK TO ALL
I know just how you feel. No one ever comes to Iowa, either. Most people don’t even know that Iowa is still here…
we left-outers (do excuse my poor grammer) should all come together and meet on….mars. then all Kelley would have to do is go there
then again, we could just wait our turn…..nah
I like that idea.
I live in Idaho so . . . yeah I feel your pain. There is actually a saying talking about how secluded we are from the rest of the world. How sad is that?
Trust me, wisconsons worse.
To true, we poor wisconsians get no excitement.
WTF!!!! Iowa is stil here when did this happen?
I no what u mean i soo did not want to know this much about miley cyrus but i will do anything for this arc and i soo wish kelly would come to long island NY
i would totally go and see her somewhere, but i dont have the money (or drivers liscense) to get there
but i still want to thank Kelley for trying so hard to go everywhere for us
do us coloradians count in this left outting
?
always
First scavenger hunt ever.. and it was about Miley Cyrus. Though, I’m thankful, because I never arrive to these contests on time and I did this time! What were the odds? I’m so excited!
Oh, and you’re awesome since you go to that school! I hope she comes to Ohio sometime.. or maybe Kentucky. I know people down there whom I can bribe to get her autograph. lol.
I want her to come to Ohio too!!!
Doing research for a competition was quite fun! Didn’t take me that long and I felt like I EARNED that entry. : ) Wish Kelley would have come to my school when I was younger. Though I was lucky enough to meet her and get my books signed on her first UK tour last year. : )
So Lucky! I’m in Northern Ireland and I so wanted to travel to Manchester for the signing cause my brother still lives there but I couldn’t afford the plane fare! I was so dissappointed, espeacially as I was in Manchester for an appointment like 2 weeks before she was going to be doing the signing, I was so depressed that I was having to miss it
GO ONTARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I SECOND THAT THOUGHT!!!!!!!!
Omg I hate my math teacher! I had hw and family stuff (and Pokemon White
) to do yesterday and never had time to get online, so I just found out about this! Not fair! Oh well, I wouldn’t have won anyway and I don’t really want to google anything about Miley Cyrus
That was a cool little hunt. Althogh it took all of thirty seconds.
Oh, i think i entered too late via e-mail! oh well i dont care i just love how much kelley armstrong makes all of these competition things!! i wish she could never stop writing!! Please make more soon!! thx a million!!!!!
thx a billion
thx a trillion
thx infinity + 1!
Lol sorry, couldn’t resist ;P
Kelley,
I think I also entered a little too late. But I do know that I got all of the info right, because it was my school. It was so cool to have Kelley come to the school and talk to us. I really enjoyed it. I got all three of my Darkest Powers books signed, and my grandmother’s copy of Bitten signed too!^_^
I wonder who won…
i wonder what bad stuff came up about her since everyone seems disturbed
……
Ontario is AWESOME!!!
I wonder what the next contest will be…. all of her contests are so fun… even if you lose (like I did) they’re still fun! =D
Do we know who won yet?
thats what im wondering
Maybe Kelley hasn’t chosen yet if she was doing a signing? Either that or once again someone’s won who hasn’t replied!
I wish whoever won would post something… I’m totally dying to find out if there’s a winner or if we all still have a chance at winning The Gathering!!!
Ditto
i think i won!!!
you think you won did you get an email if so congrats
Yeah. Maybe it’ll be a redraw. Sux for the person she drew first
Really hope the check thier email soon.
Ahh i missed the contest! what I get for not checking this blog in 3 days! Anyways now that its over can someone tell me the school name. Couldnt find it myself…
nm i just found it… Northumberland High right?
i think so…..
East Northumberland highschool, I found a link to it’s homepage on wikipidia

It’s Friday.
It’s Saturday, actually. Yeah, she still hasn’t posted. She’s probably super busy, and will make up for it.
Sigh… I still haven’t recieved my ARC copy of The Gathering from when I won the Valentine’s Day Contest.
Don’t worry…You’ll get it soon!!!!! Package stuff takes time!!!!
Thanks, and I hope so too.
Ugg, its been over a month and I still haven’t recieved my ARC copy of the book!
I can’t wait to see who wins this ARC!!!!! Congratulations for anyone who won!!! and good luck to those who are waiting!!!
