It's hard to believe, but today marks my third blogging anniversary! I started blogging because I adore books and I don't have a lot of people in my day-to-day life who enjoy books as much as I do. I wanted to write about what I was reading, and be able to participate in discussions with other like-minded readers. Wow! How things have changed in three short years! Now I work with some fantastic publishers, publicists, and authors, and I have made a ton of blogging friends along the way! One thing that hasn't changed? I still love discussing books with like-minded individuals. Thank-you to everyone who stops by and leaves a comment from time to time- I love hearing what you think and I've enjoyed exploring your blogs as well.
My favourite contests to enter are when I get to enter to win a book of my choice, because there is always something on my wish list, so what better way to celebrate blogging about books for three years than to give away a book of your choice?
To enter:
1. *Mandatory Entry* Leave me a comment to let me know that you would like to win. If you wish, let me know what book you would pick if you won (you can always change your mind, though!). Please leave me an e-mail address so that I can contact you if you win. No way to contact you= no entry!
2. *Bonus Entry* If you are a follower of this blog through GFC let me know in a separate comment and I will give you a bonus entry. New GFC followers are eligible for this bonus entry as well!
3. *Bonus Entry* If you choose to spread the word about this contest by posting in your blog, on Facebook, on Twitter, or on your blog's sidebar please come back and leave me a comment to let me know what you did and I will give you a bonus entry (one bonus entry max for this option).
The rules:
1. This contest is open to anyone anywhere that The Book Depository ships to. Please make sure that they ship to your country before you enter.
2. If you are chosen as the winner the book that you choose must be $25 USD or less.
3. This contest runs until March 11, 2011 at midnight. A winner will be chosen after that time and will receive notification by e-mail. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my e-mail.
That's it! Have fun and good luck!
I would like to win!!!
