Mara Monday! The awesomeness that is Mara & a giveaway!

Back in September when The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer was released Casey from The Bookish Type and I celebrated by having Mara Mondays, a series of Mara filled posts. We have decided to start it up again for the YA Sisterhood Tournament of Heroines!

____________________

Today I just want you to sit back and witness how awesome Mara Dyer is:

“And the main character Michelle has written in Mara? Not the most reliable, or most sane, but she’s got an awesome sass to her that I love, and underneath her insecurity and unsureness has a strength and integrity that drew me to her even more.”–Jillian at Heise Reads & Recommends

“Mara Dyer isn’t a reliable narrator, but she’s snarky, mysterious and just as confused as I was.” –Sarah at Y.A. Love

“Mara Dyer herself is a puzzle. And I was truly riveted by her thoughts. She is a captivating protagonist.” –Cully at The Indulgence of an Introvert

“Seriously, spend ten minutes in her sarcastic head and tell me you aren’t cracking up. All of her reactions where how I’d react to things or how I wished I’d react to things. Her snide little comments after something hard comes around were perfect.” Amber at Down the Rabbit Hole

“A heroine always thinks of others. Mara always thinks of her family, and what her actions might do to them. She is especially concerned about her younger brother and the impact things would have on him. She also worries about what she is capable of doing to others.” Kathy at A Glass of Wine

Now how would you like to win your very own pretty, pretty copy of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer? Yes, of course you would! Here’s how:

The Giveaway is open to anywhere The Book Depository ships
Ends 12/17
Must be 13 or older to enter

Here’s how you can win:
  • Spread the word about Team Mara! Her first match in the Heroine Tournament is this, Friday 12/16 and it would be awesome if you tweeted (use hashtags #TeamMara #HeroineTourney), Facebooked, blogged, Tumbled, anything! You can also grab a button or background.
  • Do one or all of those things then leave a comment on this post with a link to you spreading the word & your email address.
  • That’s it!
    I closed the giveaway earlier since Mara’s part is over!! Will pick a winner on 12/18

Other Mara Monday Posts:
The Bookish Type–Signed bookmarks giveaway
Down the Rabbit Hole–Reasons I Love Mara Dyer
A Glass of Wine–Team Mara…and Why You Should Be Too!

Once again, Mara’s first match is Friday 12/16!
