The Strand Birthday Conest.
Sunday, February 1, 2009
My birthday is in 22 days and what better way to celebrate than making my fellow book bloggers very happy. The last time I went to The Strand bookstore I took requests but I didn't have nearly enough time to look for books for everyone. So I thought to myself, hmmm why not turn this into contest so that way could focus on one person?
The contest: The winner will recieve their choice of two books from The Strand in NYC. Plus some cool bookmarks including some signed by author Julie Berry.
How to enter:
- leave a comment and make sure I can a way to contact you via email.
- in your comment tell me your top two ya book picks
- +1 point for following me (make sure you let me know) and +2 points for my current followers.
- +3 points for blogging about it. Make sure you give me the link. Sidebars are okay
This is the most important thing: -2 points to anyone who asks me my age. :p
p.s. Carol you need not enter.
