A few of you may have heard of a little book called ACROSS THE UNIVERSE by Beth Revis. Apparently Ms. Revis is the generous sort because she is giving away, in her words, a library: fifty signed books to one lucky winner.
That's right. Fifty. 50. Twice twenty five and half of one hundred.
I can't believe it either. So go enter now because even if a million people enter, you could still win and wouldn't it be a great one. Powerball's ads say "Where else can you buy a dream for a dollar?" and I say no where, but you can get one for free by entering the giveaway.
YA has always been more of an audience than a simple genre. Not only open and honest, it describes the awkward, often painful experience of being in between child and adult. Some times it's focused through a different lens--dystopian, paranormal, contemporary--but the core is the same: growing beyond boundaries. Maybe into a hero. Maybe into a villain. Maybe a lover. Maybe a friend. With YA, the possibilities are endless. I'm thankful to be able to work with such a rich fabric.
Later, gators! If I don't win, I hope it's you!
Wow, this is incredible! A lot of people will burn with envy when they find out the winner isn't them :P What a fab list of books!
ReplyDeleteYA is only a genre as much as Jewish is only a religion. I've thought about going there, but that's not my voice. For YA there is so much yet undiscovered, whereas my themes deal with getting over regret.
