THE 13TH SIGN Preorder Contest!



Welcome to DAY CANCER of 13 Days of THE 13TH SIGN Preorder Contest! 
You guys might remember how much I enjoyed Kristin Tubb's middle grade novel Selling Hope, so I was very excited to find out that she's got a new book coming out! The 13th Sign is coming out in January and here's a synopsis from GoodReads: 
What if there was a 13th zodiac sign?

You’re no longer Sagittarius, but Ophiuchus, the healer, the 13th sign.

Your personality has changed. So has your mom’s and your best friend’s.

What about the rest of the world?

What if you were the one who accidentally unlocked the 13th sign, causing this world-altering change—and infuriating the other 12 signs?

Jalen did it, and now she must use every ounce of her strength and cunning to send the signs back where they belong. Lives, including her own, depend on it.


This is definitely a book I'm looking forward to reading, so I'm happy to participate in the 13 Days of 13 SIGNS preorder contest!
