Hi folks! I just have to say I am still just tickled that I have followers and I wanted to do a giveaway at some point to give back a little to my readers.
Being a new blogger I have discovered that there are many ways to get books to giveaway whether it's a publisher giveaway or a blog tour or just simply winning one yourself and passing it along.
I am slowly getting into that but for this one I decided to give away a copy of a book that I own. A book that I have apparently two copies of. (oops!) I guess when you have over 500 books, it happens. (shrug)
So the book is a hardcover copy of The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Perfect for fall and Halloween if any of you are doing a spooky reading challenge. Or, if not, it's just a darn good book and fits the mood of this upcoming season.
My Giveaway rules for this are simple:
+1 entry: If your favorite season and holiday are Fall and Halloween!
+2 entries: If you are a New Follower (after this post)
+3 entries: If you are already a Follower (Thank you!)
Being the not-so-tech-savvy gal that I am, I doing it the old fashioned way. I'm going to pull your name out of hat. Yes, on slips of paper. That's right!
Please leave your email for me to contact you for mailing info.
Giveaway ends Septemer 15. Winner will be announced that day.
Good luck everyone.
Hey, maybe I can get to 50 followers? (and no, Mom, that doesn't mean you creating false identities! Forever a supporter of me, that lady is!)

I have heard fantastic things about The Historian. Who doesn't love Dracula, am I right?! Great giveaway!
1) Fall is my favorite, and I forgive that its arrival heralds the gloom of winter, because the quality of the light in autumn is...kind of sideways. Eerie and cozy at the same time. Like Dracula!
3) Already a follower

+1 My favorite season is Fall. You get the beautiful weather...not too warm and not too cold. The beginning of football season and the world series. And I've always wanted to be in the New England area around fall time. I'm sure it's pretty.
+2 New follower
I'm hoping this is international...i didn't see anything that mentioned it.
