You all know I don’t post on Saturday unless I have something cool to report. Today I do.

Amy Kathleen Ryan is a wonderful YA author from Northern Colorado, and she has debuted the first novel in a new series. The intro for the Glow synopsis says “What if you were bound for a new world, about to pledge your life to someone you’d been promised to since birth, and one unexpected violent attack made survival—not love—the issue?”

There’s a buzz going on about Glow with all kinds of starred reviews. The whole series is going to be a winner for the YA audience as well as adult readers like me (I already have my copy).

So when I saw that another writer from Northern Colorado, Carolyn of the popular Hooked and Happy blog, was giving away an advance reading copy (ARC) of Glow, I wanted to pass on the news.

The giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents only, and the deadline is 7:00 PM Mountain Time on Wednesday, November 23rd.

To enter, go to Carolyn’s Nov. 16th post at Hooked and Happy which is called My 2012 To-Read List {and GLOW Giveaway!}. And if you don’t win the ARC for this fine novel, here’s the link to amazon.com.
