Let me explain how it's going to work and then I'll describe the prizes after that.

Remember a little while ago how I got a "Super Secret YA novel" sent to me? Okay, well, just to make this a little more fun, once a week I am going to be posting clues as to the identity of this Super Secret Novel and if you guess the identity of the book you will recieve an additional 10 entries!!!!!  When you have guessed correctly I will email you to let you know, and you will be credited all of your entries.  The actual identity of the book will not be revealed until the contest end date.

If we reach 400 Followers that amount goes up to $75, and if we reach 500 followers by the end of the contest than the GRAND PRIZE will be $100 worth of books from the Book Depository, and therefore this contest in INTERNATIONAL as well!
