I recently let my new writing friend Rhiannon Hart know that I thought her book Blood Song was a YA version of The Game of Thrones. I don't say it lightly. The imagery it conjured up for me was amazing, and it had that whole fantasy feel that TGoT has.
Another book I love, Across the Universe, I've described as a YA 1984 set in space.
So I thought to myself, why not have a little bit of a competition. It's so simple. Pick a book that you've read and describe it by comparing it to other books or television shows.
Another example: The Selection by Kiera Cass is being called The Bachelor meets Hunger Games.
Up for grabs is a $30 B&N evoucher and a copy of Blood Song - one prize per winner (so at least two winners). You don't need to follow this blog or promote to enter - but it would be nice if you did.
So you entry needs to look like this:
