Giveaway: LEGEND by Marie Lu

I just got back from four amazing days at the beach with my haul of sandy clothes and saltwater taffy :D Though I'm definitely going to miss it, I have to admit that I don't write as well or as much outside of an environment that I'm familiar with. Therefore, I'm excited to be back to reading and writing in the comfort of my room.

I'm ALSO very excited to say that while I was away, my Amazon order of books I've read in the past year and that I would like to collect and my summer to-reads arrived on my porch. Like the careless person I am, I ordered two of Marie Lu's LEGEND, the first of a trilogy. Apparently I am "valued customer" and Amazon was kind enough to allow me to keep the extra book and the refund. Guess what that means?

GIVEAWAY!

Here's an overview of LEGEND from Goodreads in case you haven't heard of it/read it:


What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.



I LOVED this book (hence why I wanted to collect it) and am dying to read the last and final book of the trilogy, CHAMPION. Marie Lu's story to publication is inspirational as well--she's been writing novels since her childhood! So go on and enter the giveaway below :D You have until June 30th. Good luck!
