Bloggiversary and Celebratory Giveaway!
First things first: Happy Bloggiversary to us!
That's right, we've been going for a full year here. 365 days of our particular brand of insanity, and I haven't yet decided if I think that's gleeworthy or just kind of frightening. Since our very first post, we've done a lot of growing (although I'd like to think we've stuck pretty close to the mission statement there). In one year, this blog has seen:
-376 entries (this makes 377)
-2,067 comments
-158 watchers
-124 book reviews
-3 occasions which made Frodo cry
-14 lolcats
On this momentous occasion, I can think of no better way to celebrate than by having a big giveaway of awesomeness!
Edit: This contest is now closed. May the gods of snark smile upon everyone who entered.
Being the genre geek that I am, I have some lovely prizes sitting here with me:
-The military sci-fi Peacekeeper
, reviewed here
-The erotic anthology I Do
, for which all proceeds go to support marriage equality
-A signed copy of Kelley Armstrong's Bitten
-Patricia Briggs's shiny new Bone Crossed
All of the above come highly recommended. Now how can you get your paws on 'em? Just leave me a note here telling me which of our 377 posts is your favourite. Was it one that made you laugh, or one that made you think? Was it a review or was it us just posting something completely random like werebunnies? Let me know, and you just might wind up with a package of awesome bookishness landing on your doorstep.
Also? For every 20 entries we get, I will be adding a new awesome and shiny prize to the offerings. So send your friends, and there shall be more for the winning.
Entries close Feb 14, because I'm a Valentine's scrooge like that.
Edit: Sarah says since last year was a leap year, it's been 366 days of insanity. I suppose we can't claim to be OCD if we miss that detail, so here it is. Yup.
