Contest for an ARC of The King's Rose by Alisa Libby

Since, I somehow ended up with an extra ARC of The Kings Rose by Alisa Libby, I've decided to give it away. ( I keep getting extra ARCs of books for some reason. Did I mention in last week's In My Mailbox that I got another copy of Farey Rebels?) Also, I've decided to have this contest in conjunction of my 100th post and 100th follower. They both happened on the same day. How awesome is that?


Anyway, here's the summary from Amazon:

Life in the court of King Henry VIII is a complex game. When fifteen-year-old Catherine Howard catches the king’s eye, she quickly transforms from pawn to queen. But even luxury beyond imagination loses its luster as young Catherine finds her life—and her heart—threatened by the needs of an aging king and a family hungry for power. Will their agendas deliver Catherine to the same fate as her infamous cousin, Anne Boleyn—sacrificed at the altar of family ambition?

Engaging historical fiction with a throbbing YA heartbeat, this thrilling novel will draw readers into the intrigues and dangers of the Tudor court.

Doesn't that sound awesome? Also, be sure to check out the book trailer, it's so good!

So, would you like to enter? Just comment on this post and poof! you are officially entered.

For extra entries you can:

-Put a link to this on your sidebar ( +3)
- If you become a follower/ add me on Google Reader ( +3)
- If you are a follower/ have me on Google Reader
- If you send out bulletins (Myspace), send an email to friends ( make sure to include my email address) or anything else. (+1 for each one that you do)

This will end on March 3rd- a little less than two weeks from now!! Edit: I forgot to add that this is open to EVERYONE!

DEADLINE: EXTENED TO SATURDAY THE SEVENTH. SO, BE SURE TO ENTER!!

Good Luck!!
