I had so much fun with Decembers Giveaway challenge that I decided to do it again for January! All comments on regular posts in January will be entered into a giveaway for a free book out of my prize box USA and Canada only. I will have three random comment winners so three book giveaways. In addition, the person who comments the most in January will receive a $20 Amazon gift card emailed to them (open to all commentors).
This Giveaway will run from January 1 – Jan 31…. winners announced on February 1
This post will stay on top for the month of January. All new posts will be directly below.


I look forward to reading your blog and participating in any giveaways that you host.
Thank you Alexa!

WOO HOO!!! I love this contest!! You’re icon for your contest is super cute too!! 🙂
Thanks Julie – the little icon was fun to do!
I am so far behind in reading and commenting on posts its not funny. Now that the holidays are past I hope to get back on my schedule to ge able to get to say hello to everyone regularly.
I hope you had a wonderful new year!
Seems like this contest worked out well for you. Did you get lots of posts? Sounds like a great idea for comments.
It did work out well Melissa – I was hoping to bring in some new readers and I did. My overall blog hits for the month trended a little higher than the month before but that has been the norm since June – steadily rising but comments were higher so that was fun!
Thanks. Books are always good and cards to buy books are even better.
What a fun giveaway
I want to enter the random drawing. Sounds like fun. I’m coming back to look at all the other interesting stuff.

This is a great blog, I look forward to reading more of it.
Thanks Kris!

You are welcome Pippi! Thanks for stopping 🙂
I am leaving this comment for 2 reasons. One I visited your site as part of the comment challenge. I am glad I found your site. The second reason is because I have found some wonderful books that you have reviewed. I can now add their titles to my TBR pile. It is always refreshing to find a blog where books are reviewed I have not heard of. Thanks I will be back
Thank you Sandra – that is kind of you! I always hope that when people stop in they will find something they like, either the giveaways, the reviews of many genres, author chats or my craziness I spill out in My Morning Meanderings… which are me, just being me. 🙂 Come back any time!
I landed on your site from another book blog and I must say, this is definitely counted in as a favorite! I love your book reviews, as they tend to be unbiased, despite your opinions about them. That’s the kind of reviews, especially on books, that I really look for and love.
I also have a personal book blog.

Thanks Jillian for stopping by! 🙂
Hey! I saw on Mrs. Q’s blog that you might be able to help me with my WordPress Woes. I can’t figure out how to get pictures on the sides, and obviously you have done VERY well at this. 🙂
Also, I love your blog! It’s in my RSS feed now — can’t wait to read more!
Thanks Cori! I am going to email you the steps how to do it. 🙂
oh how kind!!
What a neat giveaway! If I did something like this at my blog, would I be a copy cat?!?
Have a great day!
Go ahead and use it Tami 🙂
Thanks! It’s a great idea!
What a great idea for a giveaway…I should really think of doing something like this also.
A super giveaway, please count me in.
You’re such a cool chick, Sheila! I’m sorry I haven’t been around in a while! Always love your blog!
Sharon you always make me smile 🙂
Whoa, this is so cool! I’m totally in 😉
