BTW if you get tired of watching the demo video I recommend muting the sound. I mean, I get tired of my voice when I edit videos and watch clips over and over. Just saying

@veronicahaley7972 8 лет назад

+JoshSundquist So far I haven't. Maybe it's just because I get so focused on finding the letters I forget to listen.

@SarahKing98 8 лет назад

I honestly love the cover used for the ARC. I hope it stays the same or similar.

@welldonebooks 8 лет назад

congrats, Josh! very exciting news. i really like the visual puns in the title too.

@daniCK3 8 лет назад

Aw, I actually really loved the original title! But of course, I'll read it either way.

@EllieXxDirection 8 лет назад

am i the only one who likes the first title better than the new one??? idk... i would be more interested in a book called "sunrises get all the hype" rather than the kinda cheesy "love and first sight"....

@marybach9925 8 лет назад

Same but he obviously has a reason for changing it so yeah

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

+Mary Bach actually publisher choose the title. They just ask the author for suggestions but I don't have final say

@EllieXxDirection 8 лет назад

JoshSundquist yeah... i still think it's gonna be an amazing book. seems really interesting and intriguing :)

@openmoose 8 лет назад

OMG the leg story made me glad I don't have coworkers around. 😂

@TheWelshonesVideos 8 лет назад

Josh As a person who is Visually impaired, I am glad you have written a book on the subject of blindness and love, I look forward to getting this book and reading it One suggestion: Could the cover design encompass some braille? Will you be doing an audiobook?

@MollywoodStar 8 лет назад

Ok, Josh. I am seriously so excited. I have read both of your books so far and absolutely loved them! I even read Just Don't Fall for my 10th grade English class three years ago, and introduced you to my senior English teacher as well through using your "1mt 1mt" video as a component of my "Meaning of Life" English project. I have been a huge fan of you, your channel, and your story for years. I have been waiting to see if you would ever write a fiction novel, and I am seriously pumped to see that you did. Thanks for always spreading positivity and making an impact on my life! So excited for you!

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

+Molly Kathryn the wait is (almost) over. I am writing fiction

@hexfloo 8 лет назад

I love how the cover looks so far! The coral/pink is one of my favorite colors.

@starpasta 8 лет назад

Now I"m really excited for your book to come out. The concept sounds really cool, and I like the style of the cover art. I'm curious to see what the final cover ends up looking like. But for now, time to enter the contest.

@ava4358 8 лет назад

i actually really really really like that cover for some reason. simple. also, i read and reread your first book and loved it so much. man, i cant wait for this

@SigneKruzmane 8 лет назад

To my ears "Hey, looks like this has a wrong number of legs!" sounds like a book title as well, haha. + i've been having much fun unscrambling the words, i see where you're going with them, pretty clever! :) can't wait for the book to come out! :) Lots of love from Latvia! x

+JoshSundquist Josh! Is the video for this contest the same video you used for the secret dating cousin contest?

@MsEverythingSweet 8 лет назад

Honestly, everything you said about fictional characters is so true about the characters I've written. I wrote a male character using pieces of personality and I was totally in love with him and I constantly leaned on him to give me a boost of confidence if I needed to. It's so weird but true. 😂😄

@Binks584 8 лет назад

I am so glad your new book will be out soon, I absolutely loved your first one and also your RU-vid channel! I've been curious as to when you decided to write your first book and how? I'd like to write a book someday and found your writing style very creative, thank you so much for writing it and I look forward to reading your next one!

@undeniablypeachy 8 лет назад

@Crazyhyperness195 8 лет назад

Josh's books get all the hype! I'm so excited! I'm on my phone so it was a little hard to read the back but I did it! I'm in love with this lie! I can't wait to be lied to more! Also your word scramble game is my favorite! I hope I win!

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

@hpispwn98 8 лет назад

i'm so pumped for this book but the main character's name is will and the love interest is cecily and that will never stop being weird because they're siblings in the infernal devices haha! the concept sounds amazing - i can't wait to get my hands on it, no matter when that happens!

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

@jacquenorman8634 8 лет назад

I'm so exited about this novel! I recommend "We Should Hang Out Sometime" to almost anyone who listen to me, I think it's getting out of hand...

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

+Jacque Norman haha thanks

@H3_abby 8 лет назад

I wonder why Josh never mentions, "Just Don't Fall" but mentions "We Should Hangout Sometime" quite a bit. I personally loved the book "Just Don't Fall" and I hate that it really never gets mentioned. :(

@Bettyxox2 8 лет назад

Congrats josh on your third book. I'm dyslexic and I read the title as "love and first shit" I'm so sorry. I've been having weird moments lately.

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

+Bettyxox2 ha maybe we can use that as the title for the sequel?

@Bettyxox2 8 лет назад

haha, that would be hillarious! but seriously josh, the book cover looks nice!

@itzmethefangirlinsertemoji9153 8 лет назад

OMG THE COLORS ARE GORGEOUS I LOVE THAT COLOR!!!! and I love how your name is written in the same font as we should hang out sometime

@carolines4037 8 лет назад

@ArtemisFowl761 8 лет назад

The story sounds interesting and I will still buy it, but personally I prefer the original title of Sunrises get all the hype. it sounds more fascinating to me then the new title. though also a good title

@Oshathott 8 лет назад

Yay international ☺️ (and don't think we didn't notice the longer than usual video :P )

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

+1999nutmeg yeah this was absurdly long. Sorry (or you're welcome ?)

@leerwesen 8 лет назад

This is a cool idea for a contest... but what about people who can't see?

@nikal.3366 8 лет назад

+Leer Wesen I highly doubt there are advance reading copies in audiobook/braille form. A neat idea for a contest after the book has come out, though!

@leerwesen 8 лет назад

I realize that :) What I meant was how can someone who can't see figure out what the letters are? I don't think that part of a RU-vid video is in audio form.

@nikal.3366 8 лет назад

Ah, my mistake! Good point, it didn't even cross my mind.

@angelicaporro4060 8 лет назад

@MrrGNB 8 лет назад

okay about to create 500 new email addresses, that should boost my chances from 7/x to 3500/x+3493

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

+zokr Well, I can assure you that far less than 3,500 take the time to enter this contest...

@MrrGNB 8 лет назад

JoshSundquist well if i enter a total of 3500 times and i will increase the amounts of total tickets by 3493 compared to when i only add 7 tickets, as for low numbers the increase of win chance is not equal to the increase in votes

@arlokarpelevitch3875 8 лет назад

how do you get our twitter?

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

+Sonya Karpelevitch sorry I obviously didn't explain that well. I will post the winner's name on Twitter basically so that you don't have to sit around wondering whether you won. I will also email the winner.

@arlokarpelevitch3875 8 лет назад

Thanks! And congrats on your novel!

@MrrGNB 8 лет назад

do i have to watch the video or can i just get the annotations a different way?

@JoshSundquist 8 лет назад

+zokr that's kind of what the contest is. It's an annotation scramble on a video. You get them by watching the video. You can turn the sound off if you don't like it :)

@MrrGNB 8 лет назад

JoshSundquist well i can also get the annotations without ever opening the video, and actually quite like the video
