When I started blogging I never thought that I’d see the day where I would hit 500 followers! But here I am! Not only that but my birthday is coming up, so I figured that I’d go all out and celebrate both occasions with my lovely followers.
I’m going to keep it simple this time around: every comment that you leave on one of my posts between now and April 16th gives you a chance to win. Be sure to include your e-mail with each comment.
One new winner will be drawn every Saturday and will receive a book of their choice worth $10.00 CAD or less from The Book Depository. Winners will be selected by Random.org and have 48 hours to reply. This is a followers giveaway therefor being a GFC follower is required. Participants must be 13 years of age or older. Giveaway is open to anywhere The Book Depository ships.
Tweet about my blog post of that day, include @rabidreads and leave a comment with a direct link to your tweet.
What book would you pick if you won? A new release or something older that you’ve been meaning to read for while? My pick this week would be:
Sylvan, the Wolf Were Alpha, forges an uneasy alliance with Detective Jody Gates, heir to a powerful Vampire clan, to battle a shadow army of humans and rogue Weres. With outside forces threatening to destroy the Praetern Coalition, Sylvan battles Pack resistance to her newly-turned Were mate and Jody fights her growing hunger for human reporter, Becca Land.

Congrats on an amazing number of followers! I’m barely 1/10 there on my own blog *lol*.
I guess I’d pick out something new, not sure what exactlly, but probably a dystopia as I just rediscovered my love for the genre.

I would probably choose something off of my wishlist. It’s getting HUGE. Plus there are books that I’ve needed to purchase but haven’t done it yet, even though I’ve already read them.

Oh, wow, 500 follower? Congrats, that’s awsome! Hmm, let’s see which book I would like to choose…
Well, thats a ton of book I would like to read, e.g. Chyntia Eden’s book or the lastest release of Demonis series, but if it’s allowed, I would like to choose Lover Unleashed by J.R.Ward which will be released on March 29. I can’t wait! Black Dagger Brotherhood is one of my favourite series, and I’m really-really curous about Vishous’ little sister, Payne 🙂
Oh, and I tweeted: http://twitter.com/mikkimano/status/45189707285536768
