Win a Copy of Ruined by Paula Morris

8 Sep By 85 Comments

Cover of RuinedThere is something about fall that makes it feel like the perfect time of the year to read a ghost story.  Sure, there is Halloween, but almost as soon as September arrives I’m ready for all things spooky.  As if to affirm my feelings, Carl runs the R.I.P. Challenge through September and October.   So, when Dina from Big Honcho Media contacted me about Ruined by Paula Morris, I knew it would make for a great read for R.I.P.

The best part is that Big Honcho Media has offered to send a copy of Ruined to five of my lucky readers!  If you’re also participating in R.I.P. or you enjoy Young Adult fiction, you should enter this giveaway.  Giving away 5 copies is a first for The Literate Housewife Review and I’m really excited about it.  With six of us reading the book, I would like to coordinate a spooktastic conversation about the book on Twitter for as many of the winners as would like to participate.  It’s not a requirement to be entered in the contest, but I sure think it would be fun.

Would you be interested in reading this book along with me?  Here is the summary that Dina sent me:

When Rebecca Brown goes to New Orleans to stay with her voodoo-obsessed aunt, she finds the beautiful city haunted by the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Rebecca is also startled to discover a haunting of a different kind: near a graveyard one night, amid the Spanish moss and beneath the moonlight, she meets a ghost girl named Lisette, who has been dead for 150 years. Lisette helps Rebecca unearth an ancient mystery in her aunt’s house, along with some troubling historical truths. Meanwhile, Rebecca must juggle adjusting to her snooty new prep school, developing a serious crush on a handsome boy, and dealing with an elite group of popular girls who may be linked to the ghostly mystery themselves.

If that isn’t enough, check out this trailer.  In it Paula Morris discusses the inspiration for this novel.  Isn’t the idea that Katrina displaced ghosts interesting?  I think so.

The Giveaway

I’ve got my copy of the novel, so I’m eager to get this contest started!  To enter the contest, leave a comment here telling me what scares you the most.  Also let me know if you would be interested in participating in a Tweet Up at some point in October.

For two additional entries a piece, link to this contest using Twitter, Facebook, or your blog.  Just let me know so I can give you your extra entries.

This giveaway will open for two weeks.  I’ll draw the winners using List Randomizer and will announce them on Tuesday, September 22.  I’ll accept entries until Monday the 21st at 11:59 PM EST.

Good luck!
