Hello YALSA, it’s Thursday!

We’re getting closer to Teen Read Week 2012, and after the fantastic tweetup yesterday, I thought I’d start celebrating early!
Are you ready for a contest that is made of awesome?

I had the honor of meeting our Teen Read Week spokesperson, John Green at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. last month. He was kind enough to sign a couple of John Green – Reading is Awesome Posters for me (in green sharpie, for those of you who are interested in that kind of information).

The awesome part: I am going to pass these on to two lucky Teen Read Week 2012 participants.

Here’s how you can enter to win:

Follow this link to the Teen Read Week Ning. If you haven’t registered  and signed up for the Ning yet- it’s not too late! Once you signup and login, look for the Teen Read Week – Made of Awesome Contest and just comment on the post!

• Tell me why you think Teen Read Week is awesome (one entry)
• Double entries if your comment has a TRW related picture attached to it.
• Triple entries if your comment has a TRW related youtube video attached to it.

Feel free to comment on the Ning post as much as you like, but only your first comment will count towards the drawing (so make it count). If you have more questions about this contest please comment on my post here.  I will pick the lucky winners during Teen Read Week, at noon on October 18th. Good luck everyone!

Best wishes,
