200 Follower Giveaway

IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE!!!

That’s right... It’s my 200 Follower Giveaway!

Back a couple weeks ago I reached a great milestone - 200 followers! So I want to share the fun and joy with all of you. Starting today I am hosting a giveaway. I’m at 220 followers today, and my goal is to get to 300 followers - that’s not too difficult. Can you all help me??

This is the plan:

220 Followers: 2 Winners - 2 Books (1 book each). July 6 is the release day for books in TWO of my favorite series.

Bonds of Justice by Nalini Singh from the Psy/Changling series

Demon Blood by Meljean Brook from the Guardian series

I have pre-ordered both of these books for myself and want to share these wonderful authors and series with you.

300 Followers: a $10 gift card to the online book store of the winner’s choice (Book Depository, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders)

BONUS PRIZE: If I get to 350 Followers there will be an additional $15 gift card tossed into the mix!

Now: The Rules...

You must be a follower of my blog.
You must be 18-years or older.
Contest is open internationally (anywhere The Book Depository delivers)
Only one entry per follower

To enter, please leave a comment below and include the following information:
Old (prior to contest) Blog follower: 2 points
New Blog follower: 1 point
Tweet about contest (leave link) : 1 point
Put my giveaway button on your blog (leave blog link): 5 points (button located on my right sidebar)

Please add up your points - for a total of 8 points max.

Contest open until 11:59 PM EDT on Wednesday July 21, 2010.

Winners will be selected using random.org. I will post the winners here on my blog shortly after the contest closes. Winners will have 3 days to contact me to claim prize. If the prize goes unclaimed, I will draw another winner.

ETA on Wednesday July 14:

BONUS ENTRIES:

To help speed things up, I am going to start offering BONUS entries!! That’s right... BONUS TIME! This is how it works. If you refer someone to my contest and they become a NEW follower, you get 8 BONUS points (entries). Just have that person put in their entry comment that YOU (insert your name) suggested-referred them to my blog.

How can you do this? Tweet or blog about the contest and let folks know that YOU sent them. And I am sure you all can find other ways to get the word out! But they must enter the contest and be NEW follower.

Good luck to you all and thank you so much for sharing in my fun!
