Once Upon a Midnight Dreary Giveaway Hop

Thank you for stopping by for the Once Upon a Midnight Dreary Giveaway Hop. This hop runs from October 17 - 31, 2012. It's midnight and even though I'm exhausted, I'm still posting because I'm so energized from meeting and talking to two of my favorite authors in person today, Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou. I'm so inspired to read more, write more and give back. And I want to give to people just like me who love to read.

What's up for grabs:
(1) $20 Amazon or Walmart gift card or up to $20 in purchases from the Book Depository. The holidays are nearing and I like to give readers a choice to choose what they like for themselves or for others as a gift. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents and international participants.

What are the rules:
Just fill out the rafflecopter form.

Great News: My blog has been nominated for (5) blog awards. Thanks to your votes last week, I made it to the finals (woohoo!), so I really need your votes now. This is the last leg and I really need your votes. I'm truly grateful for all your support. So I'd appreciate it if you'd vote for me now in all five categories. Once you do you can add that entry as completed on the rafflecopter, it only takes a second to vote, but its optional. I want you to vote for me because you want to. You can only vote once per computer, so if you have already voted, just mark the option as completed, I trust that you will be honest in actually voting and I thank you.

There are many blogs participating in this hop. So make sure and stop by the other blogs to enter and increase your chances of winning some awesome prizes. For a complete list of the other blogs participating, click HERE. A special thank you to Literary Addicts for hosting this hop.

Tidbits, Thank You's and Upcoming Blog Hop

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week thus far. A few things to cover today. I first want to thank everyone for their emails and posts a few weeks ago for checking on me during my hiatus when my grandmother passed away. It meant a lot to know my blog family thought of me and kept me in their prayers. Some people think blogging is just something to do, but it really is a wonderful joy for me to meet so many people from so many different places. I feel like I have an extended family with weird sign in names, locations I can't pronounce correctly and varied taste on books, with quirky lovable viewpoints and reviews. And at the end of the day I get to share those thoughts and reviews with other readers and family members, and every so often I get the side-eye (O-o) when I'm talking about a great book I found on another blog that is so weird and exceptional or a new author I've come across that writes a sub-genre I never heard of, but hey that's the great part. So thank you to my blog family for your support during my personal struggle.

Next, I am participating in an upcoming blog hop called Back to the Books Giveaway Hop. It begins September 1st and my giveaway will be open to U.S. and International participants. I normally giveaway several books to several winners during blog hops because I personally feel like if you take out the time to fill out the form, it ought to be worth it. But that's just me. It could be sour grapes because I have NEVER won a book in a book hop before. Haha. So maybe the Book Gods will be good to me with this blog hop. *pretty please*

More importantly, is what to giveaway. As I said before I normally giveaway several books. Well, I have in the past for other occasions and events given away book baskets/boxes. I love making them and I usually give them away for family and friends. So here are two that I made some time back. I want your feedback as to what you prefer. Would you rather win several books or a book basket?

Also, please check out my most recent book review, "A Story for Beautiful Girl" by Rachel Simon and let me know what you thought. Rachel Simon stopped by and read it unbeknownst to me and was thankful for the honest review, so much so she tweeted it. *happy dance* I was shocked and elated. So please check out the review or pick up a copy of A Story of Beautiful Girl and let me know what you thought.

Wells, that's all I have for today. Have an awesome week. I'm trying to get back on track for my Friday's Free eBooks. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get it completed before tomorrow. So check back to see if I did. :-)
