Congratulations to all the winners!

Before signing off, I wanted to thank all of our readers and the many authors who have participated in the hunt over the past decade. A reader asked why we were closing the doors on the hunt and I wanted to share my answer with you. 

Dear Readers,

"Believe me when I say we didn't come to this decision lightly. When weighing the costs both in time and money compared to the benefits of networking with readers, fellow authors, and promotion, as well my own personal commitment to the project, I had to finally come to terms with the fact that it was time to close the chapter on this beloved event.

But sometimes letting go of something good isn't a bad thing. Sometimes it just means you're making room for something new. Something better. 

I'm also keeping the door open to the possibility of a return to the hunt someday. If times change or things shift enough in the industry, it's possible the hunt might enter a second, perhaps, improved phase. 

You never know. 

Thank you so much for your interest in the YA Scavenger Hunt and books in general. 

It's so nice to hear from impassioned readers such as yourself. There aren't as many around as there used to be, which is a little sad. Maybe, together, we can change that. 

All the best,

The YA Scavenger Hunt Organizers

May you all be safe and happy and always have a good book to read.
