Mara Mondays!

Yani / September 5, 2011 / 87 Comments  /  Posted in Giveaways

At BEA I was one of the lucky ones to grab a copy of this little book  called the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and if you have read my review (found here) you know how much I loved it. So when Lori and Casey approached me about doing this feature I was all like “HELL YEAH!” I am really excited to the final version to come out, and I usually don’t do this but I am buying another copy! Michelle is actually hosting the book launch here in Miami, so to kick off the start of Mara Mondays and the countdown till the release I am giving away a personalized copy of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer!!!!!!!!!!!
