As you know there aren't that many competitions here at Persnickety Snark. I am rectifying that today with a competition to win these two fabulous Australian YA titles because I want to celebrate BBAW!
Pink (Lili Wilkinson) - Ava Simpson is trying on a whole new image. Stripping the black dye from her hair, she heads off to the Billy Hughes School for Academic Excellence, leaving her uber-cool girlfriend, Chloe, behind.Ava is quickly taken under the wing of perky, popular Alexis who insists that: a) she's a perfect match for handsome Ethan; and b) she absolutely must audition for the school musical.But while she's busy trying to fit in - with Chloe, with Alexis and her Pastel friends, even with the misfits in the stage crew - Ava fails to notice that her shiny reinvented life is far more fragile than she imagined.
Beatle Meets Destiny (Gabrielle Williams) - Imagine your name is John Lennon, only everyone calls you Beatle. And then you meet your Dream girl and her name is Destiny McCartney. But what if you're already with the perfect girl?
They are both fantastic and got great review from me (Pink, Beatle Meets Destiny). Pink is being released in the US in 2010 so you are getting in early.
All you need to do is leave a comment, ensure you are following me and tell me...your favourite name that is also a colour (this combines the colour fixation of Pink and the bizarre names of Beatle Loves Destiny) into one nice, somewhat amusing task.
Make sure you provide an email address where I can contact you. This is a worldwide competition as I want to spread the quality OZYA love.
Entries close in 2 weeks, 27th September.
