CRESCENDO Paperback Blog Tour - Day 4
CRESCENDO was released in paperback on Tuesday and in celebration our Blog Tour has stopped off over at FallenArchangel, Late Bloomer Online and The Book Cellar. Today the CRESCENDO Paperback Blog Tour is stopping off here so that Becca can answer a few fan questions as she gets ready for her Live VIDEO Chat on Goodreads next week.
What has been the most difficult scene to write in the HUSH, HUSH Saga so far (including Book 4)? I'm writing the final pages of Book 4 right now. It's hard! It's the end of the series, and I want to make sure every last thread is tied up and the story feels finished. I don't want to handle it the wrong way. It's one of the most important scenes in the series. I don't want to botch it!
Was writing the last book harder than writing the others, since you know it will wrap up the story? Yes and no. The writing and storytelling feel easier now, and I think that comes through experience. But there is definitely a pressure to live up to readers' expectations.
If you were stuck on a deserted island and could only have 5 things with you, what would you want to have?? Oh, wow, that's tough! My family. Electricity. My iPhone. A freezer filled with ice cream. Maybe...a magic wand?
Favorite indulgence? A bubble bath and a book. Online shopping. Homemade brownies. Veronica Mars.
Favorite color? Red
There's sure to be lots of great Q's at the video chat which will be on TUESDAY, JANUARY 10. Hope to see you there!

Teens' Top Ten!
Yippee!
Some truly incredible news reached my ears today. CRESCENDO has been nominated for YALSA's Teens' Top Ten! This is a teens' choice list, and I'm massively flattered to be included. In fact, I can't think of a single list I'd rather be on than this one--teens and teens alone choose their favorite books of the previous year and that makes it very, very cool in my book.
If you're a teen, and you want to see CRESCENDO make the top ten, vote for it now through September 15 RIGHT HERE.
Being nominated for this list means a lot--definitely one of the high points of writing for teens--and I appreciate the support and enthusiasm my books have received to make it this far. So this is for you guys: THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
