Extras in Paperback! (finally)

Posted on by scott

In exactly three days—on Tuesday, April 28—the long-awaited paperback of Extras will appear on the shelves of your local bookstore.

At last those of you with the first three Uglies books in paperback can possess the unified edition. Consistency freaks, rejoice!

As you can see above, the cover is the same as the hardback except for that little “burst” on Aya’s left cheek. As it says, this edition includes an excerpt from Leviathan (And no, it’s NOT the same excerpt that was in Bogus to Bubbly, because that would be lame.)

Plus, there’s an actual piece of art from Leviathan in this edition, the first to be unleashed upon the world. I’m extremely happy with the art, and can’t wait for you guys to see more of it.

Anyway, I will be bugging you all with newsletters and Facebook blasts when this date arrives. Be warned.

You can pre-order Extras in paperback now, from Amazon, Powell’s, B&N, or Indie Bound.

Update:
Westerblog has changed servers over the weekend, so comments in the last 24 hours have apparently been lost. Sorry! Maybe they’ll come back. Maybe not.

  1. awesome!!!!!!! I already have extra’s in paperback in the other cover version 9with freaky barbie doll heads on the front) but im gonna get this one aswell cuz the picture covers are soooo much better!!!
    oh, and 1st!!!!!!! yay lol

  2. 2nd comment! Brilliant. I already have a paperback of Extras, but now I’m regretting it – Why can’t Leviathin be out NOW?
    Oh well, it’ll be worth it XD

  5. And that’s saying something, since I’ve been a consistent replier for almost two years now!

    Which made me, of course, post, and then finish my thought. I CAN’T LOST MY PLACE!!

    Anyway, I wish I was a consistency freak. I’ve got the first two in paperback and Specials and Extras in hardcover…I don’t mind so much, I guess, because it shows I was too impatient to wait to own it…but it looks funny on the shelf. -_-

    OH WELL!

  6. something is off with the blog?
    what is it???
    maybe it’s this school laptop?

    you have a facebook? I’ll search for you.
    &a e-mail list or what?

    add me!

  8. Damn! Now I’m getting the mal-ware warning. Scott-la, SAVE US!!!!

    I already have the series in paperback ( I bought them separately though) from UK. We didn’t get the hardbacks.
    And…
    Our covers are cooler!
    XD

    Clicked teh linkeh.

  9. What happened to all the comments from yesterday?!?!?!?! There were, like, 60+ comments, now they’re all gone. This reminds me of the time not too long ago when all the comments on every post vanished, the only difference is people couldn’t comment then, but it appears they can now.

  10. wow thats crazy! At first I thought scott-la just deleted them all but then I read the update… Sadness. But whatevers. What does the UK’s covers look like?

  11. i wanted to wait for the paper back but i just couldn’t! as soon as i found out extras was out i got it. but now i wish i waited so i can have the hard cover because i am a “consistency freak”

  13. wow…. im not rele a consistincy freak, i havent even read Extras yet, cuz i just miss the Uglies charachters sooo much!!!!!! Anyway cant wait for the uglies movie to come out i wish it was sooner, they dont even have a cast yet!!!!!!!! so saddd

  24. gabi theres an update.
    Sorry lizzy-wa im a little brain-missing. Can I be the secret-tomato-ninja-translator-messanger-flying-expert?

  27. No. I did NOT just loose that comment. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damnit!!! GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid freakin laptop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, like I said before I was TERRIBLY interupted by my STUPID FREAKING laptop, I still haven’t found my cat!!! 😥 aw, man……. I need him back home!! And, after that, I said I added a new shirt to my Zazzle store, which again is http://www.zazzle.com/alexwa13. And, once again, the official email for the Uglies fanmade movie is http://www.ugliesmovie@hotmail.com. I need help with scripts, so please if you could, write out a scene, preferably one with david, since Anthony is moving so soon. Also, if you have a t-shirt design, send it to me too so I can sell it. Once again, please buy my merchandise, folks! I need money! If I don’t get money, I won’t be able to make an awsome movie, and it’ll just be this stupid lame thing… soooo if you guys don’t like my designs much or something, TELL ME!!! And send me your design, or tell me how to make them bubblier. Nicely, of course, don’t just blurt out like “Your designs freakin suck!! They’re soooo stupid!!!! Gaaaahhh!!!” well, that’s sorta obvious, so I don’t think I need to say that… but yeah. If you think you have an awsome idea for something totally cool to sell, TELL ME!!! Thank you. And I’m going to begin to sell a kids newspaper for my neighborhood. Why does that effect you, you ask?? Well, this newspaper is going to totally ROCK!!!! So, you might be interested in “subscribing” to it. I’m going to make a site for it, until we can get the Wild Trophy Ridge site online, since we’re having issues with that…. so yeah….. I have no idea how you’ll pay for it, but I’ll figure out something…. lol yeah

  32. I have the first two in paper back and Specials and Extras in Hardcover. I never really put much thought into having all in paperback or all in hardcover until I read this now I don’t know what I’ll do.

    Pony-la if you read this I’d like to know how you know there us going to be a movie for Uglies.

  33. ohh scott la i am not a neat freak person like that and i’m running a bit low on the dough so i really don’t know if i’m going to get extras in paper back, but i like hard back better anyway 🙂

    why do i always get here so late ?

  34. I’m reading The Risen Empire, and it’s pretty awesome. So is the cover.
    I guess that’s all because all we’re talking about is the missing comments, lol.

    : D Bye!

  35. Amber-la: if you go to imdb.com and search Uglies, you’ll get that and some forum thread stuff too. : D It soooo should be in CGI or whatever.
    Bye, again.

  36. huh ? we got Extras on paperback ages ago ? ohh, i see, you americans dont have them !, im so brain-missing today -.-.
    but i prefer our cover anyway, the whole dolls thing is soo bubbly.:P
    && why the hell am i always so late ?! :L

  37. LALA-WA!!

    UK COVERS:

    Uglies; barbie doll bits in metal peanut-shaped dish..
    Pretties; A (naked) barbie doll with measuring tape around it..
    Specials;Razor blade.
    Extras; Brabie doll heads in jar.

  38. yeah, really wish I was British (just so I could be in the Harry Potter films, haha)

    also so I could have the UK covers for the ugly books :]

  46. I need a new specials I gave it to a friend to read and then she gave it to a friend (Crazy I know) I never got it back and that was like forever ago lol

  48. Yes, ya’ll, there is going to be an Uglies movie! That’s been out since 2006, I belive…. oh, 2 movies, actually… since I’m makin one on my own and all…. hehe click on mi nombre to go to the site for my movie…..

  49. you can probably order the uk covers on amazon.co.uk instead of .com
    that’s where i got mine from.

  50. I think the UK covers for Uglies are completely fawesome! Kind of creepy, but also amazing.
    My names the link to my friends Maximum Ride fan fic!
    Peace!

  56. Hi Scott. I was wondering if you’ve ever listened to Rihanna? I like to listen to music while I read, and I’ve found that I always feel strange reading The Midnighters series to anything but Rihanna, because that’s what I listened to the first time I read them. I’ve also noticed that her song “Disturbia” seems to really tie in with Rex’s story in Blue Noon.

  57. my newly-refound obsession with the uglies series is growing…gah!!
    I’ve been reading bogus to bubbly obsessively…it makes me REALLY REALLY want to have the technology and stuff….especially a hoverboard…

  58. YES!!!!! I just got another friend into Uglies! Anthony, who’s playing David in my movie, has JUST finished Uglies!!! Hehe….

  60. Hooray!! another inductee!! good recruiting, Alex-wa.
    hm…i wonder if i ride a skateboard it’ll be an acceptible substitute for a hoverboard on halloween…i am aware that I am planning this a little bit early.

  61. Haley-Sensei, I think a skateboard would be a good substitute, since, you know, hoverboards don’t exist (yet). 🙂

    I could have turned one of my friends into an Uglies fan, but I kind of sort of told them everything about the book right after I read it, so now they don’t want to read it because they already know almost everything that’s going to happen.

    I’ve been working on drawing my character thing for the kingdom. So far, all I’ve managed is a half-decent chibi on my dry erase board. Maybe I’ll do an actual (non-chibi) drawing on the dry erase board, those drawings just seem to turn out better. 🙂

    Click my name!!!!

    P.S.
    Does anyone else watch Time Warp????

  62. If any of the books are going to be compared to Disturbia it should be peeps al the way….its like a perfect fit.

    It’s a thief in the night
    To come and grab you
    It can creep up inside you
    And consume you
    A disease of the mind
    It can control you
    I feel like a monster

    We’re in the city of wonder
    Ain’t gonna play nice
    Watch out, you might just go under
    Better think twice
    Your train of thought will be altered
    So if you must faulter be wise
    Your mind is in disturbia
    It’s like the darkness is the light
    Disturbia

    Release me from this curse
    I’m trying to remain tame
    But I’m struggling
    You can’t go, go, go
    I think I’m going to oh, oh, oh

    isnt it creppy it’s like so made for Peeps

  63. i think its kind of for both midnighters and peeps. (you got the mind thing for mindcasters and monster for rex, and you have the whole parasite feel thing for peeps…so could be for both in my opinion.

  64. AJ – that’s interesting you listen to music when you read… I’m listening to music half of my life, the other half I am reading. With my favourite books I can’t listen to music too… I fall into the books… and if anyone or anything pulls me out I get quite irate.

  65. Hehe I’ve just about made all my friends read Uglies! I was the one who got Savanna into Uglies, you know…. my friend from Ohio, Khalyani, read Uglies, but she didn’t think it was super-fantastic, though…. she’s not into sci-fi apperantly lol

  66. Ugh. Ya’ll know what I’ve been doing all freakin day??? MATH. We had MATH TAKS today. Uuuuugggggghhhh I’ve pretty much read the whole entire Max book today!!! It’s real good, though, ya’ll. It’s held my attention for hours!!! Maximum Ride is just an amazing series….. of course, Uglies is, too

  67. I. AM. SICK. OF. MATH. NO. MORE. MATH. EVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. MATH. IS. SO. INCREDIBLY. STUPID. AND. BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  71. Hi Tally-wa7! I LOVED Max, it was really awesome. I read it like the day it came out. Really great. Oh wows, I despise math too Alex-wa. I HATE it SOOO much. It’s my worst class. I’ve had an A in it all this year, but I’m dreading Geometry next year and then Algebra 2 and then AP Math Analysis…I don’t know how I’ll survive! I’m gonna have to work SUPER freaking hard. Jeezum, next year I’m going to be so overworked. My schedule has Geometry, Honors AP European History, Honors AP English, Honors AP Biology, ummmm, it was YearBook but I changed my mind so I’m either doing Drawing & Painting or Art 3/4 I’m not sure yet. And then Tennis and Softball, and Oh my goshhhh, I shall be soooooo busy.

  72. I just finished reading Max a couple of days ago, it was awesome. I think I read it in about three hours, it was also, like, my second book of the day (first one being Frogs and French Kisses).

  74. Oh, and I FINISHED HUNTED!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehe. I’ll be finished with Max shortly, too…..

  75. ATTENTION: I added two new shirts to my Zazzle store! I’m going to add one more right now… two more, actually, or maybe even 3 more…..

  76. hey guys,
    do you all remember Andrea-la trying to be an RTS?
    well, my friend in real life is trying to do that now.
    QUITTING CREATIVITY IS NOT A REQUIREMENT TO SUCCEED AT HIGH SCHOOL!! SCREW WHAT SOCIETY SAYS!! IT WILL JUST MAKE YOU GO INSANE FASTER!!
    sorry, had to rant. i don’t know what’s up with her, she is one of the most original, creative, quirky people i know and we all love her for it! but she’s conforming…cause society said so. i am NOT COMPREHENDING the logic here!!

  77. Any one know the answer of 6!=? and 8!=?, cause i’m really confused by Scott’s math equation in “The Last Days”……He said that 6!=21(p. 91) and 8!=36(p. 220), but if my calculation’s right, then the answers are totally wrong. I cannot help but wonder if Scott really know what a “!” behind a number means…..

  78. Dahlia-wa: Tell your friend it’s about the journey not the ending. 😀 I’ve never heard of time-warp.

    Also, math sucks.

    Haley-Sensei~TOP NINJA: YES!!

    Bye!

  80. Never heard of Time Warp?!?! It’s only, like, one of the only interesting shows on Discovery channal! Anyway, on the show they film stuff in super slow motion, and it’s pretty awesome. In the last episode, they had Metallica on there so they could film them playing in slow motion, it was pretty cool. They also smashed a couple guitars. 😀

  81. Grrrrrrr………no!!!!!!!! I have the first three in paperback, then I just thought, “Screw it, let’s just get Extras is hardback,” and I still haven”t read it and now it’s in paperback. *sigh*
