Behold! A Contest!!!

Well everyone, I snagged this idea from another blog, but it seemed to work well for Laura's Review Bookshelf, so I'm going to try it myself.

I have about 50 books on my Paperbackswap.com bookshelf that 6 lucky people can have if they win my little contest.

How to Win?

Well, I have at this moment 5 'followers' (if you notice the followers gadget on the left side of my blog) and I'd like to push that number up quite a bit. To at least 25 if not more. So, if you add yourself to follow my blog, and then post on your blog about my blog and contest and get even more people to follow me, you'll get a chance to win a book from my bookshelf. If nothing appeals to you there, we can work something out to get you what you really want.

I'll pick 3 people who added and three people who referred. So, if you were referred here by another blog, please please please give them the credit they will so deserve.

Please help me get more publicity to my blog. I have an upcoming author interview, and I'd love to do more, and I would really love it if people got to see it!

The contest will close on February 26th, 2009.

Thanks so much!

-Melange

    I can't thank you enough!!!

    Yan,
    Oh, the laziness, how I understand. It drives me away from most contests believe it or not. Unless it's something as simple as "Comment here..." I tend to pass it by. I hope that you find you like my blog and come back for more though!

    Deltay,
    Thanks for following! You rock!

  23. Hey I'll follow you. But no need to enter me in a contest. :) Check out my blog if you like. It's kinda boring right now, but I'm hoping to have a succesful blog someday, so we've got something in common. Plus the Alice in Wonderland type theme you've got going is completely awesome.

  41. What are the books on your paperback swap bookshelf? Can you give me a link? I don't want to enter (and maybe win) without knowing if you have a book that I would actually want to read.

    Thanks!

  42. Carol(ina),
    I can send you a post of the books I have to offer via email if you'd like, but no matter what, if you win, and I don't have a book you want I can do my best to find one you do want.

    my email is ilovemyman70 at hotmail dot com if you'd like me to email you my list.
