Ok, so I meant to do this in November, but I had a big contest going on then. So I’ve waited and now I’ve gotten to about 150 (154!!) 174 followers. That’s ok, we’ll just pretend ;)

Most of these have been reviewed (with the exception of a few) and I am going to try to link the reviews ASAP and review the remainder soon. Meanwhile, if you want to know more about a book, go to www.goodreads.com
To enter: Leave a comment and tell me either your favorite something. Could be book, song, food, memory… you name it. Just something that is your favorite. If you don’t answer the question you don’t get entered!! You don’t have to leave an e-mail, but make sure you keep your eyes open for who won! If the winner doesn’t respond within two days, I’ll pick a new winner.
Rules:
INTERNATIONAL! Because I’m so nice (and I finally got more hours at work so I can pay for it :D)
One entry per person!
You must be a follower, either old or new. Please tell me if you’re old or new, and if you can possibly remember, tell me where you found/heard about my blog. That’s not required, though ;)
Winner gets to pick 3 of the books from the list, and they’ll get whatever else I decide to throw in.
If I get to 200 followers by the end of the contest, I’ll add a second winner who will get 3 books and, again, whatever else. So post this link everywhere you can!
If by some fluke I hit 300… well… I’ll add a third winner and everyone gets an extra book in their box. (so that’s 4!)
And by “whatever else,” We’re talking random homemade jewelry, maybe a book bag, bookmarks, nail polish, whatever I decide to knit, pottery (oh did I not mention me being a potter? oops…), home made hot cocoa powder… could be anything.
Contest runs January 7-January 16. That’s a little more than a week… surely enough time for you to enter and drag people to the blog… haha :)
Good luck!
