"Sorry. I'm afraid all I can do is keep you cold."
It is a good thing I do not live in the 1800's. I fear I should not be able to faint on cue, if at all. It seems like a favourite pastime for girls back then. I think I would be very bad at it and since that seems to be the best means to getting a husband back then...I would probably be an old maid. Unless I smashed a slate over his head...that worked for Anne.
Okay, all of that aside.
Two weeks. I never thought I'd be this close to publishing, and I'm about one step away from running for the hills. Just when I thought nothing else could possibly go wrong, everything decided too. I'm afraid to ask what else could happen, and I'm afraid to count down the days to the 14th. That day will be the busiest out of the year for me, and if I somehow survive it I intend to fall over till Christmas.
I had to sit down and do a lot of thinking on how I would pass the final two weeks. I wanted to do something fun and important and it took me awhile to think up something. (Such as, more then a month) But I finally have a plan. Up till the 14th, I will be posting about some books which are coming out. These are all books I plan on reading, some I am reading right now, and some of who Indie Published. (Though not all.) They are also written by some great bloggers I know. (Exciting, right? Finding new books is always exciting, and hopefully I shall have all of you wishing you had more money by the end of it - like me. I have a list of books I plan to buy. One which is slowly shrinking.)
I also now have details on the giveaway and signed copies. Because of certain things which happened I will now be able to buy three copies which I will be signing. If you are interested in buying one you will need to email me so we can work out details.
I had a bit of trouble with the giveaway. The last one I did was for a Barnes and Nobles card back when my blog was first starting and it got about three entries. It was one of those basic kinds. "Blog about the give away, follow my blog, so on and so forth and you shall be entered." It didn't go over to well. With this giveaway I wanted to do something different. I mean, sure if you want to spread word I'm all for that. I love getting new readers and spreading word will help me out a lot. So, if you wish to do so I'm not going to stop you. However, it isn't required. I set up a page for the giveaway, to keep everything straight.
Rules:
Through the weeks of December 1st - 13th post about a book which has stood out to you recently - it would be preferable if this is a new book just coming out or which hasn't been out very long but it is't required.
In your post, tell about what drew you to this book. (Cover, summery, author, website.) Tell others about it, and if you've finished it, you can tell us what you enjoyed about the story.
(If the author has a website or blog, you might even leave a comment there to tell them about the post. Not required.)
Once the post is up link back to the page! DO NOT leave the comment on my blog or it will not be counted. (As I won't be able to keep track of them) Leave a comment at the bottom of the page along with the link to your post. (I will be reading all the posts.) The comment will enter you in the giveaway.
You may enter more then once, but you must do a new post for each comment, and it must be about a different book.
Spread the word about new books you've discovered!
The winner will be contacted on the 13th. Their book will be mailed out the 14th so it will reach them at the same time as the others. I am excited to read your entries!
HERE/ CLICK HERE!! to get to the page. Remember, all comments MUST go on that page.
Also, I set up a website, long, tiring story behind that. I doubt I will do much with it, but here it is if you wish to look. WEBSITE
Quote is from Rise of the Guardians, a rather sad part with Jack and...well, I can't say. Spoilers. But it was one of my favourite scenes.
Allons-y!
