About Me

My Photo
North Carolina
I'm married to a saint of a man. I have two sons who aren't, but I love them anyway. And I'm no saint either. I am messy, tend to keep things much longer than necessary, love dogs and can't watch Disney movies with animals in them. I still cry at Puff the Magic Dragon. I love books because I can get lost in someone else's world and forget my own. Mine's not so bad, but who doesn't want to escape every once in a while. I just want to escape a little more often than most others I know, so I'm here to find my own kind. Book lovers! I have a degree in English Literature from the University of Florida and read and write every chance I get.

Back to The Books Blog Hop

As you may have seen by now I am hosting the Back to the Books Blog Hop Giveaway with Kathy at 
The rules are very simple.
1. The Back to the Books Giveaway Hop Images needs to be part of your post.
2. Include the linky list with all the participating blogs at the end of your post OR link to this giveaway hop page or the post on Buried in Books.
3. Giveaway must be book related!
4. Keep It Simple!! Keep the way to enter your giveaway as simple as possible. 1 Mandatory entry and no more than 5 optional extra entries.  All entries must be able to be done on one visit to your blog - Entries such as tweet once a day are NOT allowed (tweeting once is fine).
Sample Post - From the Dreaming of Books Giveaway Hop:http://iamareadernotawriter.blogspot.com/2011/01/dreaming-of-books-giveaway-hop.html
You must turn off word verification/CAPTCHA if you are requiring more than one comment for entries - If you are concerned about spam then enable comment moderation.
5. This must be a giveaway specifically for this hop and must run only the 7 days this hop is scheduled.
6. Keep your giveaway easy to find for the entire 7 days this hop is open. If you post often and your post does not stay near the top of your main blog page then please post a link to your giveaway at the top of your blog or sidebar.  If we can't easily find your giveaway
you will be deleted from the linky.

My giveaways are as follows:
If you are an International follower please mark that on the form and you will be eligible for a book worth up to 25$ from the Book Depository as long as it ships to your country.  That's 25$ American.
If you are in the U.S. you can choose between two different prizes:
*The MG prize pack containing a signed copy of The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan and a signed copy of the adventurous Kevin's Point of View by Del Shannon 
OR
*The YA prize pack (you may pick two) containing
Steel by Carrie Vaughn
If I Stay (old cover) by Gayle Forman
Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols (must be 16)
Warm Bodies (ARC) by Isaac Marion
Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz

To enter you may fill out This Form 
completely!  If you don't answer any
of the required questions you will not
be entered in the contest.  There are no
extra entries just simple info to fill out.
To make it easier on yourself, you may want to comment
just so you know you've entered the contest, but it is
not a requirement.

Thanks for entering and good luck!  I may add to the number of winners and books if there is an outstanding number of entrants in which case the first winner will have first choice of all books offered.

Have fun

  2. Thank you for such a great giveaway.

    There is just a tiny problem with the form for international people. The US part is marked as *required, so without filling it in you can't finish the form. :/

  3. Thanks so much. I'm an INTERNATIONAL follower, but it wouldn't let me send the form until I checked a book from the for US ONLY section. So i did. Hope that's alright.

  7. Hello! thank you so much for this chance to win books! :)
    I had the same "problem" as the other international followers before me, I had to check one option in the "US only" question, because it was a required question. So, please, ignore it! :)

  8. Small problem with your form. I clicked "Yes" that I am an international follower because I am in Canada but the form would not let me submit because under the "US only" it was forcing me to choose a selection. So I just clicked anything just to allow my entry to submit.
    Thanks! Great hop. MichelleKCanada @AnotherLookBook

  10. Hi, thanks for the giveaway. Your form says I have to fill out the part for US residents, though I am in Canada. I just randomly checked one to fill out the form, but did click earlier that I was international.

  12. Thanks for the giveaway! The "US only" question is marked as mandatory, so I had to check something off even though I'm entering the international prize.

  16. Thanks for the giveaway and making it international! :)

    I see my issue has been mentioned though, about having to fill out the US one even when I'm international since it's required. Might be worth thinking about! I just clicked something too though.
