DAY VIRGO of THE 13TH SIGN Contest by Kristin Tubb


Welcome to DAY VIRGO of 13 Days of THE 13TH SIGN Preorder Contest! I am happy to host Day Six of this contest for my friend and awesome author, Kristin Tubb who's new book THE 13TH SIGN comes out Jan 8th!.

VIRGO is traditionally considered to be the sixth sign of the zodiac. I am a virgo :) and the VIRGO characteristics include: modest, perceptive, friendly, cynical, distrustful, and ambitious. 

Did you know some say there is a 13th sign called OPHIUCHUS? You should because it changes everything...and everyone.

If want to learn more about your 12-sign horoscope, your 13-sign horoscope, and which horoscope sign you ACT like? Take THE 13TH SIGN quiz!)

So. What is this contest all about?
If you preorder a copy of THE 13TH SIGN by Kristin O’Donnell Tubb, you will be entered into a contest! Where you can WIN THINGS! And there are new prizes every day!

And. EVERY preorder will be *matched* by a $1.00 donation to RIF, a literacy program committed to placing books in the hands of kids who need them most.

About the book
What if there was a 13th zodiac sign? 



You’re no longer Sagittarius, but Ophiuchus, the healer, the 13th sign. 

Your personality has changed. So has your mom’s and your best friend’s. 

What about the rest of the world? 

What if you were the one who accidentally unlocked the 13th sign, causing this world-altering change, and infuriating the other 12 signs?  



Jalen did it, and now she must use every ounce of her strength and cunning to send the signs back where they belong. Lives, including her own, depend upon it.
