Tournament of Heroines

First off, we would like to thank everyone who has been a part of this tournament, whether through authoring the characters, advocating the characters, voting, or spreading the word through social media.  You are all rockstars and we can't say "thank you" enough!  We will say that in these tournaments there are a group of people that go above and beyond, staying up into the wee hours of the morning, recruiting people for their teams, spreading the word about their characters, writing amazing defenses for their character, and just generally working their butts off. That group of people is the advocates.  Because of their amazing awesomeness, at the end of these tournaments, we like to hold what we call a Tournament Blogemony in which we give out prizes and recognize those advocates we believe did an outstanding job.  With that being said, if you would like to donate anything that you want these advocates to have, we would be more than happy to take it!  Last year we received everything from signed boxed sets to arcs to books to buttons to bookmarks.  If you are interested in donating please contact us at yasisterhood(at)gmail(dot)com.  Remember, for authors and publishers this would be a great way to get your books in the hands of some of the best reviewers in the blogosphere! For fellow bloggers, we hope you'll see this as an opportunity to share the love with these advocates. With their impassioned defenses, many of these advocates have introduced our readers to not just new characters, but new books and authors. We hope you'll take this opportunity to celebrate those efforts with us.

Thank you all, again!

Best,

YA Sisterhood

  5. This has been an absolute blast! I'm currently uploading a video to You Tube (and then to you), for the next installment in the competition. Going against THE Cassandra Clare will NOT be easy, but I'm going give it my all as an advocate.

    Thank you for constantly showing your love for YA and all the characters that grace the pages. Without you, these tournaments wouldn't be the same!
