Helping the Awesome Darkness of YA to Become Visible Contest

June 13, 2011 |
Because I believe that #YAsaves I thought my very first contest should help the awesome darkness of YA to become visible.  All you have to do to enter is…

1.  Follow this blog

2.  Tell me which edgy young adult novel you’d like to read and why.  As long as I have the ability to get my sticky little hands on the book–the winner of the contest will get that book sent right to them.   

3.  Please be sure leave an email address with your entry so I can contact you if you’re the winner.  

Ready, set, GO!!!

    Fun contest! All of these posts reminded me that Whither is on my tbr list, too. Judging a book a little bit by its cover here, but it also looks really great.

    I do not even know the way I finished up here, however I assumed this post was once great.
    I don’t recognise who you’re but certainly you’re going to a well-known blogger if you are not already. Cheers!

    You’ve made some really good points there. I checked on the net to find out more about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this web site.
