Giveaway to Celebrate My One Year Blogiversary!


Wow!  I can't believe a year has gone by since I have started this blog.  I remember when I started that I thought I would post a book review maybe once every couple of weeks, and maybe something else in between.  Well things have definitely come along as I have been able to work things out to where I can post a book review at least once a week, and I also enjoy posting other book related items almost every day of the week. 

It will be interesting to see where the next year of blogging brings me.  Many bloggers have recently purchased their own domain, so maybe I will look into that if it isn't too complicated. I really am pretty happy with how my blog operates right now, it has come to be a fun and relaxing outlet for me that I look forward to, without having too many obligations to concern myself with.

So to celebrate my One Year Blogiversary, I have decided to give one winner the choice between three gently used books that I have enjoyed and reviewed on my blog.  By clicking on the title of the book you can read my review, if you haven't read it already.


This One is Mine by Maria Semple

This is the hardcover version that I received from Hachette as a review copy.









The Sari Shop Widow  by Shobhan Bantwal

This is a signed trade paperback that I received from the author to participate in a blog tour for Pump Up Your Book Promotion.







The Financial Lives of the Poets by Jess Walter

This is an Uncorrected Proof that was provided to me to participate in a TLC Book Tour. My copy has a plain white cover.





So here is how you can enter:

To enter this contest you must be 18 or older and live in the US or Canada.

For one entry leave me a comment including your email address below.

For two additional entries, blog about this contest or add the link to your sidebar.

Please include your email so I will have a way to contact you if you win.

You will have until Novemer 6th to enter, and I will draw for a winner on November 7th.

  19. Happy Blogiversary! Congrats at becoming a successful book reviewer.
    I would love to be entered for The Sari Shop Widow by Shobhan Bantwal, that sounds like a good book to read.
    As far as the domain goes, it is simple to do. As easy as changing your settings on the dashboard,settings, publishing, change the top question to custom domain, choosing your domain address, going to google checkout, and paying $10 for a year. Done.
    You will just have to change your web address for wherever you ahve used it elsewhere as part of a profile.

  64. Happy #1! Amazing how time flies.

    The books you've reivewed all look interesting. Personally, I think I'd be most drawn to the Sari Shop Widow because I've heard it described as 'Bollywood in a Book', which sounds like a lot of fun!
