2-Year Blogoversary Giveaway!

Monday, November 21, 2011




I can't believe it's almost that time of year again! On December 30, 2009, started my a little blog called i swim for oceans because nobody wanted to hear me babble about books anymore. In just over one month, I will be celebrating my second blogoversary! Can you believe it?!

In that time, I've learned to write better reviews, interact with publishers and authors, met some incredible bloggers and even had the opportunity to go to BookExpo America in NYC (and can't wait to go again!) In honour of this though, I'm celebrating all of YOU! Thank you for reading my blog. Thank you for making this SO much fun, and thank you for being a part of the blogosphere!
The Details:

There will be four (4) winners. Each winner will win two books. The first name drawn will choose their books. The second winner drawn will choose two books. The third winner chosen will two books. The fourth winner will win the final two books. Want to see what's up for grabs? (Bear in mind that they are all ARCs for which I have duplicates, so they are untouched.)





The Rules:

You do NOT have to be a follower to enter but, as always, it is greatly appreciated! This giveaway is open internationally, and it will end promptly at 12 AM EST on December 21, 2011.

    YAY MELISSA, I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BLOG AND YOUR FEET AND YOUR SHOES AND YOUR TASTE IN STALE BAGELS AND THE FACT THAT I CAN EMAIL YOU 2359084572 TIMES A DAY:) Was that an excessive use of capital letters? I feel like it might have been, but I needed to get my enthusiasm for you across. I believe I succeeded:) You are one of my favorite people ever, Happy Two Year Blogoversary!

    Congratulations on your upcoming two year Blogoversary. I am also nearing my two year mark, although I have had a bit of trouble keeping up this year. Your blog is one that inspires and I am always blown away by your reviews. Hope year three is even more successful as the last two have been.

    Sheesh, you almost make me think I could be you in another year. But I haven't accomplished anything on that list. I have spent the year hobbling along. I guess that explains a lot of stuff. If only I could find someone to help take over or guide me in those things I am just oblivious to. I begin to think I am some really old grandma with one foot in the grave. This whole technology thing sometimes gets far ahead of me. Where oh where is my buddy? Maybe I should take out a want ad or something. As if. Well, congratulations!
