I also love a good beach read. So this time, I'm giving away five fun, summer novels (including mine) to kick back, relax, and enjoy - fellow Jersey girl Megan McCafferty's PERFECT FIFTHS, Terri Clark's SLEEPLESS, Haily Abbott's SUMMER BOYS, Aimee Friedman's SOUTH BEACH and a super new, signed ARC of CHANGE UP.
To enter to win these five super fabulous books, I need help with a novel I'm working on. What's your fave break up song? For some reason, most of my break ups happened during the summer. Hmm... :) I'm in desperate need of some fresh new songs and ideas. Not my usual, overplayed on my IPod nineties tunes. :) If you don't have a favorite break up song, what are your summer plans?
One break up song that sticks out in my head (I'm going to date myself here, so don't laugh) is Aerosmith's WHAT IT TAKES. This song is wrapped around a summer break up memory of me hanging out the door of friend's parked car, a soccer field, a new boy, and this song blasting on the radio. :)
I'm super psyched about my summer plans because I'm traveling to softball tournaments and NPF games to promote CHANGE UP, teaching a Teen Writer's Workshop, working on some exciting projects, and hanging out at the beach with Kaci and my hubby as much as I can. :) Yay, Summer! :)
Here are the contest rules:
Here are the contest rules: 1. To enter to win the above mentioned books, leave a comment mentioning your fave breakup song or summer events you're looking forward to.
2. The contest ends on midnight, June 30th, 2009. The winner will be posted on July 1st, 2009. A family member or friend will pick the winner (including my dog at times).
3. The contest is open to EVERYONE. Don't be shy my writing friends.
4. If you post the contest on your blog, FACEBOOK, MySpace, or anywhere else, you automatically receive two entries. Last month's winner was a poster.
Good luck, everyone!!

What a great contest!
I can't really help you with the break up songs... I'm completely drawing a blank. But summer events I'm really looking forward to are taking my kids to the Canada Day parade and hitting the beach.
gypsyrover21(At)yahoo(dot)ca
Hi, NotNessie! I'm with you on hitting the beach. And a parade is always a hit with my daughter. :) Enjoy!!
I'm looking forward to my upcoming cruise in July.
Hi, Dru!! Have fun! I've never been on a cruise. :) Where to?
Songs:
Lady by Styx (sappy, I know)
Boys of Summer by Don Henley
Wish you Were here by Pink Floyd
That's all I can come up with on quick notice.
Summer plans? Trip to DC to visit the rents.
It's not a break-up song, and this isn't a contest entry, but there's a certain song that's been trying to inspire a story for years: Boys of Summer by Don Henley.
Use it if you want, I'll probably never get around to it.
I love that Aerosmith song (and Boys of Summer)!
How fun for you, Keri, to travel to softball tourneys! The girls will love your books!!
Now to break up songs:
I Don't Love You by My Chemical Romance
Almost Easy by Avenged Sevenfold (a come back to me song)
How's It Going to Be? by Third Eye Blind
Rest in Pieces by Saliva
The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars
Can you tell I love these music questions?!
I never broke up with anyone. Met hubby, dated hubby, married hubby.
Summer plans--week at the Jersey Shore (Cape May)
Writing, reading, same old same old.
coll
I love Forever & Always by Taylor Swift, There's More to Me Than You by Jessica Andrews, Who's Cryin Now, Reasons Why, What I Didn't Say, and Breakin' Up Is Hard To Do by Saving Jane for break-up songs. Also, for my summer plans, I will mostly be hanging out, swimming, reading, and playing with my niece.
~Meredith F.
rosesaremyfavorite at hotmail dot com
So Happy by Theory of a Deadman -if you're happy to be rid of the person.
bball11kt@sbcglobal.net
Hi, PJ! Great list. :) Enjoy DC.. Are you from DC?? :)
Hi, Big Plain V! I think about that song every time it's on the radio too. What a great concept for a book. :) A man eater. :)
Wow, Thanks, Kelly!! You know your music. :)
Hey, Coll!! Make sure you stop and see me when you're in Cape May. :)
Hi, Meredith! Thanks for the list. I love Taylor Swift. :)
Hi, Katie! Thanks.. LOL. :)
The summer event I'm looking forward to is my blog-o-versary! ;) And that's about it. Definitely not looking forward to summer school. Bleh.
And Did Ya by BoA is a great song about rejecting the guy that dumped you when he comes crawling back.
And I have linked this to the side bar of my blog! =)
Awesome contest!!!
umm for the break up songs...Get Out (Leave)-JoJo Over You-Daughtry
As for my summer plans...they consist of primarily just softball..practices tournaments and more practices...oh and getting my license!lol
i dont really know if you'd classify it as a break up song, but stay with me bright eyes by something with numbers is a really good some when it comes to love and what not.
anyways.
summer is gone cuz im from aus but yehh beach and softball is the go in summer. :)
Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf. Really I cant explain why except you do get to kind of yell at the end. Its also really the only song I like by him so its not something to be overplayed.
Someone already mentioned How's It Going to Be by Third Eye Blind. Love that song.
Other songs, off the top of my head:
Hate (I Really Don't Like You) by the Plain White T's and So What by Pink.
i think "how it gonna be" isnt so much a breakup song, since its just about friends...and "wish you were here" is about a band member that had mental problems. sorry, im picky like that :-), but u can assign w/e emotions u want to the songs u listen to, really.
ive never been in a break-up, but i was talking about break-up songs last night w/ my bro's gf and she mentioned avril lavigne's "when you're gone" and nickelback's "faraway". i think. and she's a pretty typical teen girl, in my opinion, so if it's for one of those type of novels that ur writing, keri, i would say those are pretty good recommendations...
my summer plans consist of working, volunteering at the hospital, getting up early every morning to go swimming w/ the school swim team, and annual events that u can always count on... not too fun, but itll pass the time.
Okay, my ALL TIME favorite break-up song (if it counts as one) must be...
Forever And Always by Taylor Swift.
Oh, and for the summer,
I'll be home reading books.
And walking my dog. :]
Sounds like heaven, am I right?!
I'm pretty sure i have a lot of favorite break up songs but the two that first come to mind are Over You by Daughtry and Picture to Burn by Taylor Swift.
To kick off summer vacation, im taking a trip to France!
Another One Bites The Dust is my favorite break up song!
bjhoppper(at)me(dot)com
Great contest...My favorite one is I Will Survive!
And I blogged about the contest here
Nice contest. I don't have a breakup song. I'm looking forward to just resting in the summer. I can lay in the sun, with the big, bad GCSEs over :)
katiepinn@googlemail.com
I have no idea why ... but, Cutting Crew's "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight" just popped into my head!
As for summer plans ... heading to the Oregon Coast to play on the beach!
Love Megan McCafferty's monthly feature in Health magazine .... haven't read her books yet, but am looking forward to it ... I'm sure they're awesome!
My fav breakup song is Not for all the love in the world by the thrills :D
When my friends and I were in college, and one of us would have a bad day, a bad date, or a relationship gone bad... there was only one cure:
TRIP TO THE DINER!!!
These trips were accompanied with greasy food, chocolate-y shakes and pies, and my very favorite, only 2 songs that could sum it all up -
"Since You've Been Gone" - Kelly Clarkson
&
"Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)" - Green Day
That's it. That's all we played, all night long, screamed along to on the ride there and back to our dorm, etc. To this day, these are my basic breakup anthems, because once you've screamed "I'M SO MOVING OOOOON, YEAH YEAH!" about three or four times in 5 minutes, there's nothing that can get you down! =D
There's a link to this contest on my sidebar at http://dissectingperfection.wordpress.com!
Thanks again Keri for another fantastic giveaway!
Oh shoot, forgot my email address:
mya.rooney@gmail.com
Great contest. I really love the question.
My favorite break up song is Dreaming With A Broken Heart by John Mayer, the lyrics are kind of vague but the way I take it, it's about a break up.
I linked your contest on my sidebar here:
http://serenehours.blogspot.com
Oh, fun! Okay, when I went through a bad breakup there were four songs that really helped. Note, this was years ago, when I was listening to a lot of country music - mostly because it fit my heart-done-been-broke mood. Hold on while I turn down my music; I never can think of other songs while something else is playing!
"I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor (of course!)
"Bye Bye (Baby)" by Jodi Messina
"Everybody Knows" by Trisha Yearwood
"She's Gonna Make It" by Garth Brooks
Thanks for the great contest!
Some of my favorite summer activities that I am looking forward to participating in are riding my horse, showing at the county fair, swimming in the lake, and lounging around reading books! I LOVE summer!
countrystars95@yahoo.com
The summer activity that I am looking forward to is catching up on my reading list!
lesly7ch(at)yahoo(dot)com
This looks awesome! Please enter me!
BookCrossingKitten22[at]gmail[dot]com
My favorite breakup song is Aerosmith's Cryin'. I just love it!
I also tweeted about this.
Luckily no break-ups in a long time, but I'm sure I liked listening to Love Stinks.
I'm looking forward to the kids being home for summer, and going to the beach.
I must say, summer is my least favorite season. I guess just because it is so hot and humid. Then there are the mosquitos...
That's a great contest, but I don't have a breakup song. I didn't do a lot of breaking up. :)
Hmmm...I've never had a break up song for myself, but if I did, I'd imagine it would be something loud and angry, like Bloc Party or Sugarcult. Personally, I also like Pink's new song, So What, as a break-up song.
I'll be linking on my website, too :)
Very awesome contest! They all look like great summer reads!
The best breakup song (to me) is without a doubt You Oughta Know by Alanis Morisette. It's so empowering and cathcy. Love it.
Thanks for this great contest!
Jenna
jennapomme@yahoo.com
Love YA books! This summer I am looking forward to picnics in the park!
My new fave break up song is Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts.
shelcows AT gmail DOT com
No question: best break-up song is "No Children" by the Mountain Goats. Preferably shouted along with a room full of other TMG fans. So over-the-top bitter that it's straight-up catharsis.
I'm OLD!! I love the song that says. "I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you, but don't be sad cause 2 outta 3 ain't bad!"
mj.coward[at]gmail.com
hmm there is quite a few, tainte love is one i would think of
I blogged about this!
http://writeforareader.blogspot.com/2009/05/wednesday-wanderings-5609.html

Great finally a summer giveaway with books that are actually on my summer reading lists!!!
I would have to say that my favorite breakup song is Leave/Get Out by Jojo. Even though it first came out about 3 or 4 years ago, I still really get into the song whenever i hear it on the radio.
mshersheyskiss408@yahoo.com
I would love to enter your drawing. The best break up song is So What by Pink. I am looking forward to go to the beach on vacation.
Thanks

My fave breakup song is Someone Wake Me Up by The Veronicas. But another fave is When It All Falls Apart also by The Veronicas. The Veronicas sing really awesome breakup songs.

Sorry about that... I mispelled the singer's name. Anyways my favorite breakup song is It's Alright It's Ok by Ashley Tisdale.
Coming up blankk with the songs :P But as for summer events, I'm extremely hyped about Showchoir camps of america! I'm pretty sure I get to go this year... also I'm excited about Warped Tour :)
I added it to my sidebar :)

Erica
thebookcellar@wi.rr.com
For a breakup song, I think of James Taylor's Up on the Roof and Bob Marley's No Woman, No Cry.
I also am looking forward to just reading in the park and hopefully catching Shakespeare in the Park.
I'm posting a link to this contest on my blog's sidebar. Thank you!

This is an awesome contest! I'm so glad your doing this. I have put a link to your contest on my sidebar in my blog.
I don't really no much about break-up songs. As for summer events, I'm not going anywhere but I'm really looking forward to running my new blog that I created this morning. I'll have a lot of time to devote to it. I'm hoping to have run a contest before the summer is through.
nascargirl_4824(at)yahoo(dot)com
A summer song for me is Faded by SoulDecision. It played all the time on the radio while I was working at my summer job and I still LOVE it. Am I dating myself here?
I'm looking forward to Summer Vacation!!!!! Guess who works in a school!
mel at skbphoto.com
Band Camp! I would be excited for all the soccer games as well, but I tore my ACL. (So I can't) I'll get to go to all my sister's soccer tournaments. But mostly I'm just excited to sit around and read and not worry about waking up early or anything like that.
booklovergal12(at)hotmail(dot)com
Amazing contest...sign me in if it's international!:D
Well, breakup songs for me would be...
Taylor Swift - White Horse
My Chemical Romance - I Don't Love You
Avril Lavigne - Happy Ending
Chris Daughtry - Over You
Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want
This summer, I'm looking forward to a lot of things, like learning sme programmingvolunteering at an institution for blind children and maybe...just maybe start learning German:D
i really looking forward to sleeping on the beach and swimming in the ocean.
lovinfitch@aol.com
Love Song sung and written by Sara Bareilles is really good, although not exactly a break up song. I'm REALLY looking forward to 2 weeks of summer camp! Only a week away!
"The Dance" by Garth Brooks. Even now I listen to it, it brings tears to my eyes.
We have no big plans for the summer. Just outtings around the city when I am on holidays this year. A trip to a few museums and the zoo.
I went to high school in the early 80's, and of course, suffered through my share of break ups along the way. Remember, these are 80's songs lol...which by today's standards seem quiet ancient. (or so my 16 yr old says)
Songs are:
I Want to Know What Love Is- Foreigner
I Miss You- Klymaxx
Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)- Phil Collins
Didn't We Almost Have It All - Whitney Houston
Hard to Say I'm Sorry - Chicago
Heartache Tonite - Eagles
Hold On To The Night & Endless Summer Nights - Richard Marx
Every Breath You Take - Police
Separate Ways - Journey
Missing You - John Waite
Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
Please Don't Go - KC & the Sunshine Band
hope they provide some inspiration!

Taylor Swift's picture to burn or her unpublished I Heart ? both are great thanks for the contest!

readanddance@aol.com
I'm looking forward to June 28th when my public speaking class is over! I enjoy listening to Rilo Kiley for some break up music.
bacarleton(at)gmail(dot)com
Picture to Burn by Taylor Swift is a funny one. But I don't really know which song I would be in the mood for after a breakup (I've never had one).
-ReadingToMyself(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would say "Don't Forget" by Demi Lovato is a good one if you're looking back on a relationship and the boy is acting like you weren't even a couple once upon a time.
As for summer events I'm looking forward to seeing a play in Toronto, visiting Marine Land for the first time since I was about 7 years old, and possibly visiting Canada's Wonderland. Besides that, the summer is just about a job search, because I've been unemployed for far too long.
Awesome contests!! My summer plans are to watch tons of movies, read through some of my tbr pile of books, and to work on homework (summer classes yay). These books all look sooo good! enter me please!
Well, I'm late to the game, so lots of people have already mentioned these, but my faves to belt into a hairbrush are:
I will Survive-a must have!
Don't Speak by No Doubt
You Oughta Know by Alanis
And then if I'm feeling lonely and depressed, I listen to Dashboard. There's also Not Pretty Enough by Kasey Chambers if you really want to cry.
I used to like all of these depressing breakup songs, but now I think the best one is "Song for the Dumped" by Ben Folds Five. It makes me laugh every time. :)
My favorite summer events had to be camping. I can't wait!
these are great books! and this summer i am looking forward to moving to NC! I can't wait.
sports dot erikalynn at gmail dot com
Favorite break-up song:
I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, I believe. I know it's an old one but it's from my generation. I always loved it because it gave me the strength I needed to get through a break-up.
Cheryl S.

Lynnette Labelle
http://lynnettelabelle.blogspot.com
The song that always comes to mind for me is "Happy Together" which isn't really a breakup song. But since it was "our song" it just killed me every time I heard it because we weren't happy anymore. We used to listen to the acapella version by The Nylons.
A good song when you're still mad is "I Hate Everything About You" by Ugly Kid Joe. Of course, now there's another song with the same name by Three Days Grace.
Forgot to mention, posted on sidebar of blog +1
Cindy
I never actually broke up with anyone -- I met my husband and we married and that was that :-)
As far as summer plans -- anything to keep the kids busy and out of my hair -- lol. Actually we're having fun going to parks and museums and library events and hanging out at the pool!
marielay@gmail.com

Breakup songs. . .that's hard.
I mostly just listen to viking metal like Amon Amarth when I'm going through a breakup, and I'm guessing that's not what you're looking for.
Yknow, I guess I'd have to say that my favorite breakup song is actually about breaking up:
If I HAD to pick, though, I guess I have two favorite breakup songs, both by the Unlovables and one actually about breakups.
The Unlovables - Feelin' All Emo (Since I Broke Up With You)
The Unlovables - Disaster
oh, oops, forgot to mention - I'm going to work now, but I will be posting this in my blog as soon as I get home:
http://brizmus.blogspot.com
fav breakup songs (thts like an oxymoron:): say goodbye-chris brown
i hate this part-pussycat dolls
takin back my love-enrique iglesias ft. ciara
big girls don't cry-Fergie
post-breakup song: so sick by ne-yo
we belong together-mariah carey
walk away-paula deAnda

For the breakup songs:
Too Much to Ask by Avril Lavigne
- The lyrics are so great! A lot of girls can definitely relate to it.
Better That We Break by Maroon 5
- I just love Maroon 5 - Adam Levine! :p
Summer has already passed here in our country, but if ever, I'd probably want to go to the beach with family and friends!
Oh, and I posted this on my sidebar:
