We just had our very first contest a few months ago and the prize was The Comeback Season by Jennifer E. Smith. Not only did the winner get that fabolous book, it was also marked up by Jennifer herself. That means she made little notes about the book..throughout the book. People seemed to like the prize a ton and I know I enjoy marked up books I’ve been given by friends that I decided to make this month Mark it Up May. We will be holding various contests throughout the month…sorry for the late start!…and you have a shot to win a great marked up book!!
Authors: Do you like the idea? Email/message us and let us know! Feel free to use the idea yourself. 🙂

Since we started late, we’ll be giving away two books, but to TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!
The prizes: Marked up copies of Back Talk by Alexandra Richards and The Secret Life of a Teenage Siren by Wendy Toliver
Timeline: It starts today (Happy Mother’s Day!!!) and will end THIS Wednesday, so don’t waste any time!
What do you have to do? To be entered to win one of these books, you must do TWO THINGS.
One: Tell an author about the mark it up idea.
Two: Tell someone else about the contest and/or books in the contest.
THEN: Tell us who you told in a comment and you’ll be entered.
ALSO (PLEASE READ): If you don’t mind either prize, say so! But if you only want to be entered for one book, TELL US PLEASE!
Get STARTED!!!!
