Three Month Anniversary Giveaway!

On January 28, I woke up and went about everyday life. But at some point during that day, I decided, "I want to start a blog." I'd been reading all these other blogs, and everyone had so many interesting things to say, but daggum, I had interesting things to say, too!

So I started Bookshelvers Anonymous. I didn't have a clue what I was doing, and I still don't, but I've done what I can to learn. I didn't know if anyone would ever read it, so I was free to ramble on about whatever pleased me. (And when I say anyone, I mean anyone. Even my parents don't know about this blog. It was a point of pride for me to do the techy stuff without my dad's help.) I rambled about books and reviews and Oscar videos and cute book covers and all sorts of things. And I've had so much fun doing it.

Now, you might say, what's the big deal? It's only three months. Ha! You idealistic people. I'm busy enough (and lazy enough) that I'm lucky if I can stick with something for three days, much less three months. Obviously, this doesn't apply to responsibilities like work, family, church, etc., but for the rest, I direct you to my 5th grade marble collection, my harmonica (used only twice), and any exercise plan I've ever started.

Therefore, in honor of my very surprising three month blogoversary and in gratitude to all of you, I've decided to host a giveaway. The winner will receive a $10 book from The Book Depository. Now, I did some research, and just look at what great books cost only ten bucks!

Entwined by Heather Dixon, The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen (paperback preorder only), Terrier by Tamora Pierce, Graceling by Kristin Cashore, I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter, an many, many more!

Whew! I'm sorry I can't afford more, but just look at all those great books. $10 will get you any one of them, or a completely different book of your choice. Al you have to do is fill out the rafflecopter below and follow the rules:
  • You MUST be a GFC follower of Bookshelvers Anonymous.
  • You MUST live in one of the countries Book Depository delivers to.
  • And you MUST respond to me email within 48 hours of winning (so make sure that email address is correct!).
