Saturday Round Up 7/16/2011

Happy Saturday!

In keeping with my more relaxed summer schedule, it was relatively quiet this week ont he blog. We're two-and-a-half weeks from the release of Circle of Fire, and here's your Saturday recap for the week;

Tuesday I posted a dual Song of the Week and Thing I Love, with a clip from my favorite series of all time, Six Feet Under, and the song Breath Me by Sia. I could only watch it once, because I still cry when I see it.

In lieu of Thursday Night Write, I posted this year's big contest for an Ipod Touch 32GB to celebrate the release of Circle of Fire. There are tons of other goodies for the Grand Prize winner plus three runner up prize packs that are pretty awesome, too. Even if you're not in the market for an Ipod Touch (which is basically and Ipod and mini-computer in one, offering you all the functionality of a smart phone without the phone, including games, apps, music, ereader capability, etc.), it would make an INCREDIBLE gift.

I've gotten several people leaving comments saying they can't post the links and such but still want to enter, but for this contest, I have to count only those entries that follow the contest guidelines. As you know, I run A LOT of contests and giveaways all year round, most of which require very little (and sometimes nothing) to enter.

But this is different.

It's an Ipod Touch! And this is the one giveaway a year that is specifically geared toward increasing word of mouth for the Prophecy Trilogy, and in this case, the third and final book, Circle of Fire. Plus, it wouldn't be fair to all of you who are posting contest links, referring friends, and posting links to the Circle of Fire page on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Indibound, etc. I know how busy you all are, and I truly appreciate everything you do to help spread the word about the Prophecy of the Sisters Trilogy.

This is my little way of saying thank you for going the extra mile! So hurry and enter!!
