PAYA is also holding a Book Drive to collect books for Pennsylvania libraries, many of which have faced severe budget cutbacks. You can bring your used YA books on the day of the festival.

GIVEAWAY

Since obviously most of you don't live near southeastern Pennsylvania, I'd like to give you the opportunity to get a signed book by one of the above authors. Just fill out the form below by 9pm Eastern Friday, August 24. I'll draw the winner's name and purchase the signed, personalized book for you on Saturday.

Open to international entries. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.

Contest is now closed. Winner of the drawing was Jackie, who won a copy of Jessica Spotswood's Born Wicked. Thanks to everyone who entered!

You are the bee's knees! I wish I could travel to all of these events, but alas, I have a full-time job and a kiddo that requires more than full-time supervision. :P And I only didn't select any of the Shade books because I already have them signed, or you know that would've been my first choice. :)

Hi Ms. Jeri!

Thanks so much for this giveaway :) I wish I could go but I'm miles away and I don't have a US visa :( I have the complete Shade series and Enthralled, but I don't have any personalized copy yet. If I win, a signed copy of any of your books would surely be awesome!

Thank you and God bless you more.

xoxo,
April @Books4Juliet
