Bloggy Carnival Giveaway Day 5- Encouraging Me Time For You

Friday, January 30, 2009

***CLOSED*** I don't know about you guys but I'm about carnival'd out and I still have so many to enter! But I have to take the time to thank everyone for participating and Tweeting for me. I really appreciate it and I'm sure the sponsors do too. I've got new followers on Twitter and here on the blog and I hope you stick around. You won't regret it. I can be pretty funny sometimes. Moving on. Short and sweet today:

This giveaway is a little self serving. I just agreed to do book reviews at a fairly new site, MahoganyButterfly.com and I want to have an arsenal of books at the ready (see that? sounding literary already!) So, to enter this contest please leave me a suggestion for a really good book. Maybe your favorite of all time or one that made you think, made you cry, or was just so good you read it in a few hours.


My only caveat (again with the literary!) is no Twilight or Sisterhood of the Shopaholics. Not that those books are bad (I don't want to incur the wrath of you Twilighters. You're serious about that Edward guy. Plus, I read plenty of chick lit). I just want books with a little more.... meat to them.

In exchange for providing me with your suggestions I will buy a book for you.* I know there are a lot of fellow readers out there and I'm sure your "to be read" lists are just as long as mine. So to enter:

1. Leave me a comment with your most awesomest book suggestion (required).

2. *The winner will receive a book from me in the form of a $20 gift card to Borders, Barnes and Noble or Amazon for an international winner (some countries don't allow Amazon cards, make sure yours does before entering).

3. For an extra entry
(not required), send out a Tweet about this contest and come back to this post with the link to your Tweet. Here's the shortened link to this post: http://tiny.cc/XbqCD (you'll need a Twitter account.)*ETA: If you're the chosen winner and you've sent out a Tweet to help me publicize, I'll throw in a $5 Starbucks card!

4. I MUST have a way to get in touch with you! NoReply@Blogger will not send you a response. I will have to delete comments with no contact info.You can leave your email address in the myemail [at] thisaddress [dot] com format to prevent spam.

5. Comments will close on Friday, January 30th at 11:59pm CA time.

6. I will use random.org to draw the winner and post the results/notify winners via email and in a "Winners" post on Saturday 1/31.

7. Winner will have until Monday, 2/2 to respond or a new winner will be chosen.

8. You don't need a blog to win, but I MUST have a way to contact you. US residents only (sorry!)

Bloggy Carnival Day 4- Chocolate Truffle Cookies

Thursday, January 29, 2009

***CLOSED*** Today's giveaway comes from the Liz of The Cookie Chew. I found Liz almost by accident. I was getting the mail a few weeks ago and sorted through it dropping items into the recycling. I flipped through one of the circulars looking for restaurant coupons and landed on a page with her ad on it. The cookies looked so good I read the ad and was excited to see she's a local. I sent her a message through her site, she called me back and now I get to give away some of her awesome treats to you!

Liz was starting a career in accounting but stepped away from the computer to focus on turning her passion for baking into a career. Liz is offering one winner a half pound bag of Cocktail Cookies and a package of six Truffies! A White Chocolate Russian Cookie or Raspberry Chocolate Martini Cookie? Sign me up! This is the point where you tell me how much you love me. (Kidding. Sorta.)



To enter (two entries possible):
1. Go to The Cookie Chew site and look at the cookie menu, the Truffie or Cocktail Cookies flavors (the site has Flash animation, hover over the little pictures in the top left).

2. Come back here and leave a comment on this post and tell me what other item you'd buy - required.

3. For an extra entry (not required), send out a Tweet about this contest and come back to this post with the link to your Tweet. Here's the shortened link to this post: http://tiny.cc/dJEf2
