<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>Help Raise 1,000 books for charity and enter to win $200, signed books and swag!</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">We are excited to share about an ambitious blog tour—</span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://fictionfrolic.blogspot.com/" class="broken_link"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fiction Frolic for All Hallow&#8217;s Read</span></a></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">—where ten authors from several genres are working hard to raise 1,000 books in three weeks for Books for America.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">From October 1st to 19th, donate a new book (or books!) and earn extra bonus points in a huge giveaway that these authors are hosting. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>Two winners will each receive the following PRIZES!</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">$100 Amazon G.C.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">5 signed books from the authors hosting the event</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">A swag bag</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Plus—in honor of All Hallow&#8217;s read, gift a signed copy of one of our books to a friend!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">With a total of $200, 12 signed books (including the gifted books) and major swag, what better way is there to raise books for charity and celebrate All Hallow&#8217;s Read?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Each author participating is also donating signed copies of their books </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">to </span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.booksforamerica.org/" class="broken_link"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Books for America</span></a></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">, an awesome charity that is officially sponsoring their event and excited to be involved with </span><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.allhallowsread.com/"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">All Hallow&#8217;s Read</span></a></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">. In 2011, Books for America donated more than $800,000 worth of books and materials to DC area schools, shelters and dozens of other educational programs and organizations.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
