Yep! I've finally created a Facebook page for this website in light of several recent developments. Developments that are leading to some absolutely fantastic events headed your way, so I hope you're excited! I'm glad to stay that I'll be working with several well known organisations in the local arts scene to promote reading, writing and just plain good fun with the written word.
Hey Singaporean and regional readers, are you out there? You might want to check the page, in addition to this website, because it's going to have some fun events coming up, both offline and online! Thee's one coming up very soon in relation to The Hunger Games. Are you excited yet?
International readers, don't fret! Every online event will definitely have something for you. Like now!
To celebrate the page, and the recent turn of events, here's a contest for you! Go on forth and like LiyanaLand's Facebook page, get it to 100 readers, and stand to win a book from Book Depository up to USD$20. Open internationally.

Oooh, so that's why you got a Facebook account! ;D You make everything sound so exciting. I can't wait to see what you'll be sharing! I'm from the Philippines, by the way, so, yes, I think I'm a regional reader? Haha!
ReplyDeleteI've had you bookmarked since that fateful day on Twitter so, yes, I'll be checking back often. I actually owe a reply to your post about Singaporean YA since I've been thinking about Filipino YA too...
See you around!
Yes! Thanks so much for your help, the page is now alive and well. Phew. I think it's great to see more YA literature outside of the usual US/UK/AU you know? They have all these different backgrounds, and I love seeing it all in effect. Like Karen Healey's Guardian of The Dead. SO FAB!
DeleteCOLS! Thanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! COLS seems like it's SO LONG AWAY. Can it hurry up and release already?!
DeleteDefinitely looking forward to Timekeeper by Alexandra Monir!
ReplyDeleteAw, Goodreads doesn't say what it's about. :< The cover is gorgeous!
DeleteCongratulations on your FB page!!! I liked you :)
ReplyDeleteAND there are so many amazing new books coming up, it's hard to just pick one but I am really eager to read This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers!
Mary DeBorde M.A.D.
Thank you Mary! :D
DeleteCourtney Summers' books are so gritty, I love them.
Hey girl,
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Hope you get loads of new FB followers. Looking forward to all the cool stuff that's coming our way. Go, Singapore!
I'm dying to read Bitterblue. Waiting for NLB to get a copy!
Thank you Llehn! I hope to see you at any upcoming events, especially signings! Hoping MPH would do so, I don't mind setting an itinerary. ;)
DeleteLocation 1: Tea and scones with a group of fans.
BITTERBLUE! Have you read Graceling and Fire?
Ack! I feel dishonest! The rafflecopter told me I'd entered before I told you my country. So I shall tell you here :D
ReplyDeleteCanada.
Huzzah for facebook pages! Now I'll be sure not to miss anything! :)
No problem, and thank you! :D
DeleteI'm looking forward to The Selection by Kiera Cass, and also What's Left of Me by Kat Zhang! And by the way, I'm from Malaysia. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Aik! The Selection was such campy fun! Don't expect too much from it in terms of things actually making sense though. Haha. Are you looking forward to the TV series too?!
DeleteJust stumbled upon your blog and yay for a Singaporean book-enthusiast(?)!!! Haha. Definitely looking forward to a lot of books since I've recently got into Goodreads and found out about great recommendations. Really want to start on some John Green! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway by the way! I'm from Singapore too haha. Yay for the FB page!
Nadhirah
Haha, yay! Glad to see another Singaporean here. :D Have you checked Kinokuniya lately? They have a bunch of John Green books. So pwetty. :3
DeleteHi fellow Singaporean book blogger! Just got to know about your blog today. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading a lot of books! Shadow and Bone, My Life Next Door, Of Poseidon etc.
Have you read Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson, and Delirium by Lauren Oliver? Both are really good! Perhaps you can consider reading them. NLB has some copies for loan. :)
I've tried Sarah Alderson and Lauren Oliver's books, but I wasn't a fan. ):
DeleteShadow and Bone is really good!
Everyone have their own preferences but at least you have read them. :) I'm just waiting for NLB to have a copy or when I get my first pay from my next job, whichever is faster. :D
DeleteThere are so many new releases I'm looking forward to read! The second book of Dust Lands series, Rebel Heart, by Moira Young (I love Blood Red Road!), Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater, Skylark by Meagan Spooner, Ten by Gretchen Mcneil, and etc. I have a book recommendation:
ReplyDeletedystopia: The Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness, Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi.
Paranormal: Angelfall by Susan Ee.
Fantasy: Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones.
Contemporary: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight.
I enjoyed every one of them. Oh, I'm from Indonesia by the way!
Ah! That's a heckload of great books. :D Howl's Moving Castle is just gorgeous. I got a hardcover and was all :3.
DeleteI'm from your neighboring country. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to Seraphina by Rachel Hartman and Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson. They are my most anticipated July reads.
Well hello there! SERAPHINA! Me too! It looks so good.
Deletethanks
