It's my 1st Blogaversary.....and I have a contest.


Happy 1st Blogaversary to me!

Today, December 3, marks my one year Blogaversary. I have learned so much, grown in terms of writing my reviews, and met so many lovely people this post year. I have made friends across the U.S, Canada, and Australia. When I started this blog, I never imagined I would have this much fun. Sure, sometimes it can be a pain in the butt and lots of work, but what isn't from time to time. That's life my friends. I have learned many new things, and discovered lots of new books and authors.

To celebrate my 1st Blogaversary, I will be giving away three of my gently read books, to three individual people.

You may choose one book from the following:

The Red Leather Diary by Lily Koppel
Children of Dust by Ali Eteraz
Pendragon's Banner by Helen Hollick
Legacy by Cayla Kulver (ARC)
Benny and Shrimp by Katarina Mazetti
Dancing with Ana by Nicole Barker
the Lie by Fredrica Wagman
The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank
Honeymoon by James Patterson



So how do you enter?
Leave me a comment with your email address, and your three picks. I will do a random draw of three people. First person has first choice, second person, second, third person, third choice. I will try to accomodate your choices.

And since I am not rich, this is only open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.
Sorry to my Aussie posse and other international friends.

This contest is open until midnight, December 24th.

Good luck and thanks for making my first year a success and lots of fun :)

Here is an oldie but goodie. These were two of my favorite characters.
