Wanna Help AND Get Cool Stuff?
Ever wanted to own a signed copy of Shiver? Or a signed copy of both Divergent books? Of course you have. You wouldn’t read this blog if you weren’t cool enough to covet those things like that creepy little troll in Lord of the Rings. Here’s how:
Make a bid on any or all of these awesome books, services, edits, etc. The money is being collected by Publishing Hearts Connecticut. It’s basically how these awesome people in the biz have gotten together to stop feeling so helpless about this tragedy and do something to help. Check them out! They have a website at http://pubheartsconn.blogspot.com/ but the auction items are below. Bid in the comments’ section OF EACH ITEM (NOT in the comments section on my blog). Good luck!!!
