Box of Books Birthday Bash Giveaway!!!!!

November 5, 2009 Uncategorized 81

Hello all my fun followers! As promised, to help me celebrate my birthday, I am hosting a contest for everyone!!
You might ask yourself that I am funny to give something away for my birthday! Well, Mama always taught me it is better to give than to receive. She also told me Karma can be a bitch so always do good for it to happen in return. So I am going to spread good Karma and give at the same time!!!

Below you will see some books in a box. Some are used and some are new. That is what we are starting with! Yes, note I said starting with! When I hit 150 followers I will add 2 more books! When I hit 200 followers I will add another 2 books. Do you see a pattern here?! So we need to spread the word to add more books! Also, if I am having a good day here and there, I might be sneaky and post on here that I added a new book just for fun! SURPRISE! LOL…Hey it’s my birthday and I will do what I want. Just kidding. But keep an eye out for surprise posts about sneaky books that drop in the box!

UPDATE #1 : The bookmark collection was feeling left out, so they jumped in an envelope and hopped in the box already!

UPDATE #2 : Since I am a huge fan of author Lynsay Sands, I decided to share a book from her Argeneau series. I am including a NEW copy of Love Bites. This book decided to hop in for the contest too!

UPDATE # 3 : We reached 150 followers! I have added the following–

The Van Alen Legacy by Melissa De La Cruz
HARDCOVER (NEW)
Playing House by Fredrica Wagman
(NEW)

UPDATE # 4 : I am adding the following book to the box!
The Long Walk by Stephen King
(USED)

UPDATE # 5 : I think today we will do a vampire themed add.
I will add the following books today:

Thirsty by M.T. Anderson
(NEW)

Real Vampires, Night Stalkers, and Creatures From The Darkside
by Brad Steiger
(NEW)

UPDATE # 6 : I made it to 200 followers! I am adding the following now–
Highland Thirst (NEW)
Playing with Fire (USED/original cover art)
Stray (USED)


The books to start with are:

Demon’s Kiss by Maggie Shayne (used)
Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian (used)

    Hi Amy,

    You know I love My Overstuffed Bookshelf! I had you linked to Keta’s Keep for some time now and I thought I was also following your blog. Oh, such is the mind of a writer! I’m following you now, and I’d love to win a book.

    ps: I already won one book from Amy and I’m very appreciative. But . . . I’d love to win another.

    You rock, Amy!

    Best, Keta Diablo
