Sweet Venom 2 Title Hunt

   Hey y 'all. So, if you follow Tera on Twitter you know that she tweeted a link asking for bloggers who wanted to sign up for the Sweet Venom 2 Title Hunt. (I want to know this title just as bad as y 'all do.) I didn't hesitate to sign up. This is my first time participating as a host in a title hunt, but if it's your first time participating in one in general here's what you need to know :

~ Each host will have one (1) letter from the title.

~ Tera will be posting the entry form at 12:01am on Tuesday on her blog (HERE) along with the details of how to do the hunt and the links to every host's blog.

~ The hunt is open internationally & even bloggers participating as hosts in the hunt can enter to win(we only receive the letter we're supposed to share and there's no way we can guess the title from just one letter).

~One(1) entry per person. However more than one person from the same household can enter, but they must have different e-mail addresses.

~ The prizes for the hunt are :

 ~ 5 signed copies of Sweet Venom

  ~ The grand prize is a $50 bookstore gift card 

So now all you need is my letter. To give y 'all my letter I've decided to share a quote from one of Tera's other books, Oh. My. Gods. 

"Your stepsister is an evil harpy."

For some reason that quote just stuck with me. :P

In case you overlooked it or it didn't show up properly my letter is:

Good luck & happy hunting!
