Let the Contest Extravaganza Begin!

I'm starting my September people of color giveaway a few days early, due to the phenomenal response! I have so many books to give away, the giveaways could potentially head into October (or I may giveaway more than one).
So here we go.....

I have three (3!!) copies of Silver Phoenix: Beyond the Kingdom of Xia by Cindy Pon to giveaway. This means there will be 3 winners!! Thanks so much for your generosity Cindy! Also, today is Cindy's birthday, happy birthday Cindy!
No one wanted Ai Ling. And deep down she is relieved—despite the dishonor she has brought upon her family—to be unbetrothed and free, not some stranger's subservient bride banished to the inner quarters.

But now, something is after her. Something terrifying—a force she cannot comprehend. And as pieces of the puzzle start to fit together, Ai Ling begins to understand that her journey to the Palace of Fragrant Dreams isn't only a quest to find her beloved father but a venture with stakes larger than she could have imagined.

Bravery, intelligence, the will to fight and fight hard . . . she will need all of these things. Just as she will need the new and mysterious power growing within her. She will also need help.

It is Chen Yong who finds her partly submerged and barely breathing at the edge of a deep lake. There is something of unspeakable evil trying to drag her under. On a quest of his own, Chen Yong offers that help . . . and perhaps more.

*Edit: Check out the awesome book trailer here! I love it!!

    I know I've commented on a past post...my guess is that it's Zetta's book I commented on, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'll work with the 6 points I have now.
