Debut Blog Giveaway

This is my 1st blog giveaway
I'm very excited for it
CLOSED
WILL PICK AND ANNOUNCE WINNER LATER
I have learned that the easiest way to get followers and to get my blog out there is to have contests. I love entering them, but so far I have been unsuccessful in almost everyone, but two of Yasmine Galenorn's contest and even those I got the 2nd place prize and not the really desired ARC that I was crossing my fingers for. 

I do go to as many book signings as Seattle has on my days off. Even if I haven't even read the author yet, I will go out and buy the books and read them so I can go to the book signing. Kinda backwards I know, but that is the fun of it. My goal is to find inexpensive copies of the books to get them signed to give away at some point. So if you see that I will be going to a book signing keep an eye out for a giveaway to possibly come. 

I am hoping that if I review my books well enough that I will start to get ARC of the books to review. I love reading it is a fun enjoyable hobby of mine and I LOVE to share the books I have read with other people.

So please browse around my website and if you have any comments or critiques about it please let me know. I'm still very new to this whole blogging thing and I still have things to iron over, I don't speak computer very well that is what my husband it for. 

Okay, now no more sidetrack items, it is down to business!

A signed copy of Richelle Mead's books 6 Last Sacrifice
and one of my handmade bookmarks I like to make

If you haven't read the series, it is a must read!

I got this extra book signed at the University Bookstore. I had already bought a copy of the book at Borders (but I couldn't find the receipt) and I wanted to get a priority bracelet that put me into the 1st 100 of the line so I also bought a book there (last signing of hers I waited for 1.5 hours in line) and so far it has been sitting on my shelf and I have had no idea what to do with it for a few months now. But now I do!

So who wants this special copy!

Contest ends February 24th 11:59 western time
Winner will be announced on my birthday February 25th so someone else can share the joys of my day!

+1 Ugh, the toughest choice ever! It's a dead tie between J.K. Rowling, James Patterson, Suzanne Collins, and Cassandra Clare. I love them all too much! It would have been a five-author tie though if I hadn't already met Richelle Mead. ;)
