Welcome to week three of Fall Into YA. Sandy of Scribing Shadows is helping me celebrate.
Congrats to Molly Gibson-Mee who won our last contest. (Check your email for a message from Sandy.) Her dream boyfriend pick was Simon from the Mortal Instruments series. There were more votes for Jace, but I'm going to have to stick with Molly on this one. Simon is a much better choice. Also, I agree with all of you who love Tod. He's always been my favorite guy from that series.
And for week 3, we are giving away a third fall YA release. Rules are as followed:
1. You must follow both blogs.
2. You must be 13 or over.
3. It's open internationally but please be sure The Book Depository (link) ships to you.
4. Recreate a book cover.
Pick any YA book that released this year and recreate that cover. Sandy and I will choose a winner. Feel free to post your cover on both blogs, but that isn't necessary. And it won't earn you extra points. But make sure you post it either here or at Scribing Shadows.
This giveaway is open until Wednesday, November 23. Check back the next day to see if you've won and to check out giveaway #3.
