As I was cleaning up my bookshelves - to mooch and also to post my TBR pile picture.. I realized that I had some duplicates/books I don't feel like reading in with my books from ALA.
So, some of these are obscure, but I figured, why not throw some sort of contest to get rid of them all?
So here's the list: (click the link for more info)
Solace of the Road by Siobhan Dowd (ARC)
The Brilliant Fall of Gianna Z. (Signed ARC)
Alphas by Lisi Harrison (ARC)
A Long Way from Chicago and A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck (2 books in one, Teacher's Edition)
Hazel by Julie Hearn (ARC)
Troubadour by Mary Hoffman (ARC)
There's seven books, so I will break it down like this:
3 winners!
1st place:
Chooses 3 books from the list above
2nd place:
Chooses 2 books from the remaining books
3rd place:
Takes the last 2 books not already picked.
The Rules:
1. Open to US and Canada (sorry! I'm poor for a while here).
2. Please include your email address with your comment(s).
3. Contest ends Saturday, October 3rd at 8 pm CST
4. How to get points:
1. Open to US and Canada (sorry! I'm poor for a while here).
2. Please include your email address with your comment(s).
3. Contest ends Saturday, October 3rd at 8 pm CST
4. How to get points:

+5 add my blog button to your blog's sidebar (leave a link)
+2 for every time you advertise this contest - You MUST leave a link
