Friday Giveaway: The Giveaway Stikes Back

For today's giveaway, I am parting with an old forgotten bookmark. I first posted this back in 2012 , a paperback copy of "The Empire Strikes Back" with a card signed by Carrie Fisher tucked inside. I figured it was a perfect way to celebrate Star Wars Day .
