One Year Blog-o-versary Contest!


So, yes today is my one year blog-o-versary and boy has this year flown by. So much has happened in my life as well as in the blogging community. We stuck together and fought for a cover change for both Liar and Magic Under the Glass. There have also been some not so savory things happening in the blog-o-sphere (but let us not think of such things). This is a day of celebration. I am so excited to still be blogging after 12 long months. I currently have 227 followers and that is amazing. I am so thankful that so many people care about my opinion of books and want to share their opinions with me. I have discovered many amazing new authors and books since I have been blogging, some of which I don't think I would have heard about otherwise. I have met so many amazing people who, like me, share a passion for books and reading and talking about books.
I have seen a lot of people post about some of their firsts during their blog-o-versary post so I guess I could do a few.

First Review: Why I Let My Hair Grow Out - Maryrose Wood
My First Author Interview: Stephanie Kuehnert
My First Giveaway: Ballads of Suburbia with Stephanie Kuehnert
My First Waiting on Wednesday: Going Bovine - Libba Bray
My First Teaser Tuesday: The Nature of Jade - Deb Caletti
and my first In My Mailbox

That's good enough eh? Oh yeah I mentioned a contest didn't I.... hmmm well let's see what we have here.
Books I am thinking of adding: The Replacement ARC, Nightshade ARC, The Body Finder, Hex Hall, Sea, Possessions: the Evil within ARC, Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells ARC, The Eternal Ones ARC, And Then Everything Unraveled, I Like Him, He Likes Her,  Swoon, Boys, Bears and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots ARC... and more!

Twelve ARCs hmmm well that's good...for now. So this is how it all goes down.
As of right now I will have three winners.
Winner #1 receives 2 books pictured above(they pick) and maybe one or two (still undecided) prints from Marta Bevacqua (also your pick, as long as she has them for sale).
Winner #2 receives 1 book pictures above and a print from Marta (you pick both)
Winner #3 receives 1 book from above

Now to enter go to Marta's website here and comment below with the title of your favorite picture(the titles are above the picture on the right) and leave a way for me to contact you. That is all you need to do to gain entry.
Extra entries:
+1 link this somewhere and leave me the link
+1 become a new follower
+2 already being a follower
+3 grab my blog-o-versary button(lovely photo by Marta) and stick it on your sidebar
+5 making a post about this contest and leaving a link
+10 writing me a book love poem/song (silly I know, but fun!)
+10 if you upload a video of you poem/song

So, I have also decided that as I get more followers I will add more books and more winners(maybe I'll even post what books I'm adding as I add them! GADZOOKS!). I may also add a winner for my favorite song/poem?!?! Who knows?!?!? Maybe I'll think of other great prizes(if you look at my IMM tomorrow you'll see one of the great prizes I'm thinking of giving away).
So please, check out Marta's beautiful photography and come back here and enter my contest! It will end... 6/30.Oh yeah and of course this contest is open to all!

  2. +1 My favourite picture is the other side of a girl.
    +2 already a follower
    +10 for a book love poem:
    The pages brush beneath the tip of my finger,
    The words in my brain dance and linger,
    The story unravels and away I go,
    To a pirate ship or a cave in the snow.

    Escaping for an hour or two,
    Into a world made for a monster and you,
    Come out of the closet and explain to the world,
    I'm a total book-loving girl!

    I know that was bad but there you go haha! Great giveaway :)

    When the words start dancing in the page,
    They lift my heart that's usually in vain

    To the new world I go,
    In the new place I be.

    Escaping this boredom,
    That tend to engulf me.

    To you, book, I thank thee,
    For always be at the place, where I need you be.

  18. Great blog-o-versary contest!!! Love it.

    +1 My favorite picture is Spring Storm. So pretty!
    +2 already being a follower
    +10 The Reading Nook loves books
    more than anyone can

    She sits there most days
    eating words up like Spam

    If she could she'd sit around
    reading books all day long

    And the readers of her blog
    would not think that is so wrong!

    Okay I know that was really tacky, but I tried! You don't have to give me the +10 if you don't want to, lol.

    So that would be 13 entries in all.

    Thank you!
