Contest: Beautiful By: Amy Reed

-CLOSED-

Yeah!! Beautiful is coming out tomorrow :) And I am so excited to read it! To celebrate I have 5 copies to giveaway. I know...intense huh? :)

So...here are some information.

When Cassie moves from the tiny town where she has always lived to a suburb of Seattle, she is determined to leave her boring, good-girl existence behind. This is Cassie’s chance to stop being invisible and become the kind of girl who’s worth noticing.

Stepping into her new identity turns out to be easier than Cassie could have ever imagined...one moment, one choice, will change everything.

Cassie’s new existence both thrills and terrifies her. Swept into a world of illicit parties and social landmines, she sheds her virginity, embraces the numbness she feels from the drugs, and floats through it all, knowing that she is now called beautiful. She ignores the dangers of her fast-paced life…but she can’t sidestep the secrets and the cruelty.

Cassie is trapped in a swift downward spiral tinged with violence and abuse, and no one—not even the one person she thought she could trust—can help her now.


Sounds awesome huh? Click HERE for an excerpt of the book!

And don't you just LOVE the cover? Haha I do...except her eyes look like raccoons tho, wouldn't it take a hella lot of time to remove all of that eyeliner?

Now onto the rules....

The contest will end on October 26th.

And all you have to do to enter is to answer this question....


If you could become a totally new person how would you change yourself?

Hm, since I'm the "contest creator" I guess I should start. Hm, let's see, this is kinda hard, since I'm a firm believer in being true to yourself...well, if I could change myself I would defidently, since I'm a total nerd, become goth, including the whole shabam (intense word!)...total raccoon makeup, black nailpolish, black skirt, long black socks, and awesome black boots :)

For extra entrees all you have to do is....

  1. Hmmm. If I can change anything, I'd probably lose some weight! I've gained some since I graduated and to take some off would be great! hehe! This book looks so great! I think we all are beautiful in ways though!

  2. If I could become a totally new person, I would become a punk rocker. They have an awesome style, and I'm just to shy to pull it off : )

  7. Okay, I don't think I'd make any really extreme changes. I think I'd change my hair to thick-ish and with naturally pretty waves... my hair is super thin and wavy, but not the dependable good waves! Also, instead of just throwing on whatever I pick up first, I'd wear preppier clothes (think Gap, plain and simple, but clean lines and stuff).

  13. I think this book will be amazing! It would be wonderful if I get to win:)

    If I were to change myself, I think it would just be me, only a much better version.. I would like to be someone more optimistic, and it would be great if I were to open up more to people because I'm really quiet when I'm around people I'm not really close to, and of course, I would only like to be myself, and show other the true me and not care about what others think:)

  14. Wow, I want to win this book so bad. If I could change myself, my alter-ego would be so much more outgoing, not afraid to stand up and fight back when something pisses her off. Sure, I might make a few more enemies that way, but I think I would love it. :)

  21. If I could become a totally new person I would want to be someone way more outgoing. I am such a shy person and so afraid of what people might think. I would definitely want to care less about them and more about me.

  25. I would make myself more artistic. I am always so jealous of those who can draw, paint, etc. It seems like they see the world in a totally different way than I do.
