The month of May holds many wonderful things, the biggest being my birthday, on May 22nd. I've been blogging less than a year, but I thought it would be fun to host my very first give away during my birthday month! What? You don't celebrate your birthday all month long? That's weird!
Moving on, even better than my birthday is the fact that author Laurie Notaro answered my email and agreed to do a blog interview. This went much better than planned because I feared once she had my full name the only response from her would be in restraining order form. Sometimes the power of the birthday month is stronger than anti-stalking laws!
So how can you qualify and what can you win? Well, it's pretty easy. First of all, you simply must live somewhere on this planet. I cannot afford inter-galactic postage rates at this time, but it's okay if you live outside of the USA.
Secondly you have to follow my blog, don't worry, I'm lazy with my posts so I won't fill up your google reader until the next Read-a-thon rolls around. Simply comment and let me know that you're following me (this applies to my new and old followers- you guys are like silver and gold, but this month I promise to treat you all like platinum!)
For simply being a follower you'll get a chance to win. But wait! Just like an infomercial, there's more! You can earn 2 extra chances if you blog about this give away (simply comment again with the link), and 1 extra chance if you Tweet this give away, 1 extra chance if you follow me on Twitter (if you already are just let me know!) or add the link on your blog (again, just comment with the link). So that's a total of 6 chances per person if you follow, blog, tweet and link!
Now you probably want to know what you can win, right? Well here it is:
One lucky follower will get a copy of :
Laurie Notaro's Idiot Girls' Action Adventure Club and
the reading journal Smart Women Read Between the Lines
and
Two lucky followers will get $15 Amazon Gift Cards (will most likely be emailed to you).
The contests goes on for the entire month of May, and I'll announce the winners on June 2nd.
Here's a smaller pic of my give away graphic if you want to use it to link:

No need to enter me in the contest, but I wanted to say happy birthday even if it's a little early. My blogoversary is this week and I'm holding a contest too! I've seen lots of people holding contests. Maybe May is just the season for them! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, but you are being entered! lol May is a great month for give aways! Of course, I am a bit partial since it's my birthday month, but it still holds true.
