Holy HAWT ALIEN Tots Commander!! I now captivate 500 people!!!
So this post is going to be whole bunch of AMAZINGESS!!! To my surprise I have reached 500 followers!!! I so cannot believe how amazing all of my Tots are!! When I started this blog I was happy to have one follower (ok so it was one of my close friends but still!!) I never though that I would reach fifty, let alone 500!!
How you all make me feel!
The blogging community has been so amazing and welcoming. I'm totally blessed to be a part of it!!! I mean it!!! Every time I wake up to a butt load of comments on my post from my favorite people it makes me smile!!! I seriously can't thank you all enough!! It’s a blessing to be able to gush about books and have people listen!
But I'm not going to get all sappy on you folks; I will save that for my blogoversary later in the year!
So what I will do is give away some books!!!! Seriously I have WAY too many sitting on my selves waiting for a good home! And 500 amazing Tots seems like a great time to give them away!!!
So here is what is going to happen! I am going to give away five signed books from my signed pile. I will chose one book from each event I have been to recently (Thanks NYMBC for these events! They are AMAZING! I know I keep saying everything is amazing but I don’t know how else to describe it! Amazing pretty much covers it!) and give them to some of my lucky Tots!
Five winners will be chosen and will get to choose from:
Now here is the most amazing part!!! I also recently reached 100 followers on FB so I am throwing in a bonus book!!
But that’s not all!!!! I recently reach 400 followers on twitter!!! (Seriously Tots you make me feel so amazing! Because I'm not the cool kid here! I'm the nerdy girl reading in the library!!! But you all make me feel like the cool kid!!!) So I'm going to throw in another book!!!!
Seriously folks!!!! You make me keep blogging! When there are days I feel like giving up, I get your comments and it keeps me goin!!
Now remember the part about blogging being AMAZING?!?! This is how amazing it is. I have been blessed to meet some great people along the way. One of those people is Toni Aleo who I totally love and think we were sisters separated at birth!! She has KINDLY donated a Signed copy of Trying To Score PLUS a swag pack!!! Seriously people this woman makes my day more than y’all know!!! And her country ass is rubbing off on me! pretty soon I'm going to be drinking Sweet Tea and singing along to One Direction (which scares me because I have no idea who they are!)
Daemon brought champagne for me!! |
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!! Now I officially feel like an infomercial!! If you enter now, you will be swept away to a far off land where all the hot fictional men fan you and feed you grapes!! Oh if only that place was real!! Now this is going to make everyone cream their panties (I know I did!) This giveaway just got approved by my fav alien our there!!
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!!
So that is a total of 9 winners!! And if I hit 600 while this is going on, I’ll add another signed book (even after this giveaway I have MORE signed books for you all) and for every 100 after that!!! AND A SUPER SPECIAL UPDATE!!!! Toni Aleo, Author of the Assassin Series, has graciously donated an eARC of Empty Net (Assassin #3) if I reach 700 followers!!!!! So keep that in mind!!!
UPDATE:
UPDATE:
I reached 600 followers on the blog (officially right now, 601!!!!) so I am adding a singed copy of The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney.
And because I'm just in a loving (or lusting mood, thanks to all the Team Kaidan craziness that is going on) I reached 500 followers on twitter also!!! So I'm adding a signed copy of The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour!!!!
And it doesn’t stop there!!! I broke 200 on the FB AND 100 NetwrokedBlog Followers!!!! Sooooo I'm also going to add an ARC copy of Envy by Elizabeth Miles!!!!
A recap!
So here are the rules:
- Open US only (sorry guys, gotta ship it myself. If you are international and want to pay for shipping I'm all for it! The eBooks aren't! THEY ARE INTERNATIONAL!)
- I’ll leave this open for a while! Ends July 31st, 2012
