On December 20th, I will be turning the lucky age of 25. Lucky for me and for you! I will be holding 20 days of contests, starting today - with 25 winners (or maybe an extra here or there).
I'm going to be using google docs for all of my contests to help protect you from spam mail.
All contests will end on December 30th at 11:59 pm. I will announce ALL 25 (or more!) winners on December 31st - to give you something to look forward to for the New Year. Which means.. some contests will be longer than others. But you'll have at least 10 days to enter contests!
Now, I'm jump starting this birthday bash off with a 6 winner comment contest! This is a 30 day contest in which you will gain one entry per post you comment on. Limit one per post. You can only gain entries on posts starting with this one and every one AFTER until the deadline. (This one DOES count as well!) Got it?
Question is.. what will you win?
Here's how it breaks down:
1st place winner: Any book under $25
2nd place winner: Any book that I've reviewed under $25
3rd place winner: $10 Amazon Gift Card
4th place winner: 3 books from a list
5th place winner: 2 books from the remaining list
6th place winner: Awesome bookish swag - donated from Briana - The Book Pixie!
So far, the list of books is as follows:
Spellbinder by Helen Stringer (ARC)
The Things That Keep Us Here by Carla Buckley (ARC)
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Bull Rider by Suzanne Morgan Williams
Possible books:
Tricks by Ellen Hopkins
Lipstick Apology by Jennifer Jabaley
Bran Hambric by Kaleb Nation
Once Was Lost by Sara Zarr
or others.... :-D
This will be the ONLY international contest during my Birthday Bash - sorry guys (The rest will be US & Canada only)! I'm not made of a ton of money. If you win the gift card and Amazon does not ship to your country, I will switch it to a Book Depository or other Gift Card - please just let me know.
So, let the commenting commence! This is random still, but the more you comment (still 1 entry per post...), the more entries you get! And yes, giveaway posts do count because I'm using google forms! Woot! You can only win one of the comment contest prizes.
Okay peeps, start commenting!
