A Chance to Help

This summer, Pakistan was hit with the worst flooding the country's had in over eighty years. Ten million people are now homeless because the floods destroyed their homes. And an estimated twenty million have been affected overall.

And those numbers in the millions turn to billions when we start talking about how much damage has been caused. An estimated 43 million dollars is needed to get Pakistan back on track.

Those people need help. And Reggie, aka the Undercover Book Lover, is doing something about it. She's fundraising for the Pakistan Flood Relief Fund. She's set up these awesome auctions and all the money raised will go to the cause.

The following are some of the auctions still open--and the list seems to be growing!!

Signed Lipstick Laws Package!
20 Page Critique from Carrie Harris, Author of Bad Taste in Boys
Signed Copy of The Duff by Kody Keplinger
Signed Audio Book of The Duff by Kody Keplinger
Two Critique Packages from Angela Morrison
Signed Copy of Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder
20 Page Critique From Tessa Gratton (Blood Magic)
Signed The Body Finder Package! (comes with an ARC of Desires of the Dead!!!)
Signed Copies of Stargazer by Claudia Gray

Reggie's so cool! She wants to help people in real need--AND she's giving us a way to help--AND yet again people in the writing community stepped up to donate amazing prizes to be auctioned off.

If you head over there, make sure you check out how the auctions work!

Thanks for stopping by!
