Straight to Heaven Prize!

Hello Everyone!

On May 26, 2012 I had my stop as part of Michelle Scott's Straight to Heaven Blog Tour, hosted by Dani from Pen to Paper. The amazing Michelle surprised us blogger by doing a second giveaway for us as appreciation for participating on the Tour; which included book reviews (read mine here), interviews, guest posts and the original giveaway.

I was the lucky winner of the bloggers giveaway -$20 to spend on any books of my choice from The Book Depository- and the books arrived today!

I've been dying to start both these series but I hadn't had the opportunity yet. Thank you Michelle!

Here are the books's descriptions (from the back covers):

Giveaway and Apology

100 Followers Giveaway and an Apology from me to you.

When I started blogging last October I wasn’t even sure what I wanted to do with the blog to begin with. I knew I wanted to be involved in the literary community but I didn’t know how. At first I was just doing the occasional review. See, I want to write my own series, I’ve been having these characters doing the rounds in my head for such a long time now that I was thinking that maybe by starting a blog I could somehow get them out. Feat that I started but I’m nowhere near half way through, let alone finishing it. So slowly I shifted my blog’s focus from me into book reviews. And I have to say that so far I have found an incredibly supportive community that I had truly no idea of its magnitude. Still, 7 months later, I’m not sure I can fully grasp it.

UPDATE: The Giveaway is over and the WINNER IS.....

Apology

So why am I apologizing? Because I’ve been so focus on getting my Google Friend Connect (GFC) to reach the first 100 followers (currently at 87) that I had completely bypassed and ignored all of you that have so amazingly follow me through email. Yes, I had not realized that as of today I have 121 followers through email. So I’m sorry, I should have seen this sooner. But, I have some news for all of you.

Giveaway, Open Internationally!

In honor of my blog breaking through the first 100 followers milestone I’m having a Giveaway beginning today and going through all the month of June.

What’s the prize?

A $25 Amazon Gift Card to the lucky winner.
