Blogwarming Giveaway

Posted By CarrieK on April 21, 2009

First, I have to say how extremely thrilled I am that all of you have so willingly followed me here to my new blog home. That was my biggest concern with leaving Today.com, because I love my readers and the conversations we have in the comments – that’s what makes blogging so wonderful, in my opinion.

As a way to kick off my new home here, and to thank all of you for following me hither and thither across the blogosphere, I’m going to do a six-book giveaway; six books, six winners. Here are the books you can win:

seachanges
Sea Changes by Gail Graham

loveletters
The Love Letters by Madeleine L’Engle

land-of-marvels
Land of Marvels by Barry Unsworth

terminalspy
The Terminal Spy: A True Story of Espionage, Betrayal and Murder by Alan S. Cowell

nightcountry
The Night Country by Stewart O’Nan

mermaid
The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd

These are all gently used copies. Sea Changes, Land of Marvels, and The Terminal Spy are all Advanced Reader Copies. Love Letters has a different cover than the one pictured; it’s the mass-market paperback edition.

Here are the details

~ For one entry, leave a comment on this post. Tell me which four of the above books you would most like to win.

~ For a second entry, blog about this contest and leave a link to your post.

~ For a third entry, follow my blog on Google Reader, Bloglines, or your RSS reader of choice, and then tell me that you did so. If you’re already a follower, tell me that, because it counts, too.

~ For a fourth entry, post a link to this giveaway on Twitter or Facebook, and then leave me a comment telling me you did so.

~ For a fifth entry, Stumble or Digg this post (see those handy buttons at the bottom of the post?) and then tell me you did so.

~ You can leave everything in one comment if you prefer – I’ll tally up everybody’s entries.

~ Because I’m broke and paying for shipping myself, this giveaway is open to US and Canadian readers only. I hope someday I can have a giveaway that includes my foreign readers, but I just can’t afford the postage right now.

~ All entries must be received by 11:59 pm PST, Friday, May 1st. On Saturday, May 2nd, I will total everyone’s entries and use Random.org to draw six winners. I will then try to match the winners with one of their top four choices.

Good luck – and thanks again for being a faithful reader.
