Wanna Win a Copy of My Book?

To close our YA Fresh week-long celebration of the launch of The ABC’s of Kissing Boys, we're giving away a signed copy to one commenter.

I was tempted to offer up another animal "Caption It!" contest, but came upon the following website that was sooooo darned cute that I just had to share with our YA FRESH readers: Cute Things Falling Asleep.

Take a peek, then come back and tell us what you thought. Even a word will do, but sorry, "cute" has been taken!

You'll automatically be entered. The contest starts NOW and will end at 6 pm PST on Sunday. Check back for the winner, and good luck!

In the meantime, here is a camera phone picture sent to me yesterday--a first New York City sighting of my book! Yay!

Elizabeth Encarnacion said...

I saw this in CNN.com recently, and LOVE IT. Watching them makes me sleepy . . . a new cure for insomnia?

How sweet! They all look so peaceful. It's nice to see pictures like these to remind us that we really do live in a wonderful world!

"Cute things falling asleep" - what is not to love? I think everybody looks cuter when they're asleep :)

TinaFerraro said...

Elizabeth answered Melissa's question: yes, I found this on CNN.

And Chuck, I can't tell you why you aren't on this site (yet). Maybe 'cause no one's caught you falling asleep at your desk? It's certainly not because you're not cute enough!

Those videos are so adorable! I love the sleepy puppies. I watched the cute five week old lab who was trying to sleep on the stair which was so sweet and funny at the same time. Thanks for sharing!

I love this site, thanks for sharing Tina ^^
Those clips are kawaii, I like the puppies the most because they remind me of my dog when he was young. Seeing them falling asleep just makes me wanna rush to their sides and hug them.

p.s this is random but the sleepy cat on page 1 looks like a pig to me at firs sight.

That was adorable. I liked the dogs the most. I can't believe people actually have sites for that kind of stuff.

Awww, I need to go find something that has Flash so I can see them! *emails self link* But puppies falling asleep are adorable-when that puppy cam link was posted, I remember watching them nap--& at the same time as my puppy, too! So adorable :D

Megan said...

As parents, Tina and Kelly both know how adorable it is watching kids fall asleep at the dinner table. I know it is happened to all of us, and it isn't any less cute watching some other kid do it too.

AngelaD said...

God that was soooo perfect... I love kitties!

Sarah Woodard said...

Awww... that is cute website.

The Golfing Librarian said...

Can I "write off" the last five minute of my life on April 15th?

wrigleyfield said...

Oh man... the baby elephant!!!

Dominique said...

The first sleepy kitty reminds me of myself when I'm sleepy--my head dips but if I'm supposed to be awake (ie during a rather dulling (but probably important) lecture) my head jerks up and I try to appear awake. I probably look around with a rather guilty expression too lol ;)
I didn't think there'd be a whole site dedicated to this!

Anonymous said...

Oh that's great! Watching all those adorable things falling asleep makes ME sleepy.

Also: the book was spotted last week here in SoCal and I ALMOST bought it, but then realized I'm flat broke. So yeah. Hope I win it though!

Paradox said...

Awwwwwwww... the adorableness is overwhelming.

Katie said...

That site made me go "awww"
