It's hard to believe it's been two years since I started this blog! Although some things have changed, a lot (including the design) has stayed the same. I don't have a theme or wall of gifs this year, but let's get this party started!
Here are a few of my favorite posts from the past year:
"Better World Books" Haul Round 2 because I can't get over how cute George is boxing with Torrie in his video debut.
My Out of Orbit Critique of "Autobiography of a Face" by Lucy Grealy because through the process of reviewing it, I was able to better analyze its impact on me.
My review of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #1)" by Douglas Adams because... I don't know- I just liked it!
And last but not least, the not-remotely-related-to-books announcement of In Other News...
Here are a few of your favorite posts from the past year:
"Better World Books" Haul, which was likely viewed a lot due to it being shared by Better World Books. And also, George was being cute again.
Color Me Happy: An Unofficial Guide to Adult Coloring Book Bliss which I thought was going to flop as a post, but people actually liked it.
My review of "Kesrith (The Faded Sun #1)" by C.J. Cherryh, which was a completely unanticipated hit. The book itself is older than I am, but I guess people love C.J. Cherryh and vintage science fiction.
Now on to the good stuff:
I have a giveaway for a $10 gift certificate for your choice of Better World Books.com or Amazon.com, open to those 13 years and wiser (with parental consent if under 18 years young). This giveaway is open internationally, though I would advise that Better World Books would be the better choice if you aren't from the United States, as it has free shipping worldwide, while Amazon has spendy shipping (particularly because their gift cards are only applicable in the Amazon US site, which makes no sense at all). There will be three lucky winners for this giveaway.
Terms and Conditions: Giveaway ends May 2nd 2016 at 12:00 AM EDT. This giveaway is open internationally- I am not responsible for lost packages. This giveaway is open to those 13 and older, as long as you have parental consent if you are under the age of 18. Winner must respond to the host's email **within 50 hours**, or a new winner will be selected. If you use multiple aliases and/or emails to enter this giveaway, you will be automatically disqualified. You may use any/all your previous comments on this blog as entries (by visiting daily), just make sure they are all from different posts, and weren't used in last year's giveaway. If you already follow me on any site below, it's a free entry, as long as you leave your profile URL. **May the odds be ever in your favor!**

Good Luck and Happy Reading!
Congratulations on your blogoversary!! Thanks so much for the giveaway as well :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, George is so adorable in your Better World Books post! He's cute in general :)

Thanks Laura! And you're welcome- so far you're winning because I haven't bothered to advertise this quite so well as last year. Maybe you'll get all three gift cards? ;)
DeleteAnd thanks for the George compliment. My cat needs compliments daily to keep his vanity flattered.
Thanks for stopping by and being the first to comment, Laura!

Happy blog anniversary! I've enjoyed getting to know you through your blog. :-) George is rather adorable, I agree. I really like your review of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy too. I really need to re-read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy! George thinks he is the handsomest (and smartest) cat this side of the Milky Way... and I think he's an evil mastermind in training. I had such an odd experience with reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I didn't feel my review would do it justice, but I think I got it right.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting, Wendy!

CONGRATULATIONS! Sorry it took me so long to get here. I have been such a commenting slug lately. The pic of George in the Better World Books box is one of my all time favorite internet cat photos. I enjoy your blog tremendously. Keep up the good work! Thanks for the stellar giveaway, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, La La! You're not the only one on a commenting slump- I have to type with one hand sometimes (and it's really slow and annoying). That is Georgie's most dangerous look- he gets into mischief when his face is like that.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting!

Congrats on two years! I am new to your blog but I already love what I am seeing. I subscribed so I can keep up with your posts in the future. Love your blog, great job!☺
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle! It's hard to believe it's been two years since I started this thing- I actually didn't think I'd keep to it this long, because of my uncanny knack for procrastination. ;)
