So that free book giveaway contest I just mentioned? I let author Julie Anne Peters know I was planning to do that and, kind and generous person that she is, she offered to autograph the book as well! So now it’s a free SIGNED book giveaway.

To win an autographed copy of her latest novel, By the Time You Read This I’ll Be Dead, simply comment on any post from this week (March 1-March 5). I’ll draw a name out of a hat for the winner.

By the Time You Read This I’ll Be Dead is a young adult novel that is a beautifully written, powerful story about suicide and bullying. Julie Anne Peters isn’t one to shy away from controversial topics or difficult material, and she certainly doesn’t do that here. This is a book I think people should be talking about this year, and I highly recommend it.
