I Won Free Stuff! Mwahahaahaha...

For the first time I feel like an actual blogger. Why do I say this? Because I won free loot! As you all know, free loot is the glue that binds together the Blogosphere. Consistently thoughtful, quality posts are a close second.

Luckily for him Jamie has both, so follow Mithil Wisdom if you are not already.

And to the curious-- I won Empress by Karen Miller. The review will come shortly after I've read it.

Also, later on today I'll be sharing my review of Afterschool Charisma Vol. 2. Stay tuned!

Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse Contest!

Who doesn't like free stuff?

Up for grabs is a box set of the first seven Sookie Stackhouse novels: Dead Until Dark, Living Dead in Dallas, Club Dead, Dead to the World, Dead as a Doornail, Definitely Dead, & All Together Dead



CONTEST RULES

This contest is now open and will remain open until the end of August (Tues, Aug 31st @ 23:59, EST). The winner will be announced on this blog. As a Canadian sick of contests applicable only to Americans, this contest is open to anyone with an address that I can ship to!

In order to be eligible, make sure to comment on this post, detailing how many tickets you have earned, and what deed(s) you did to earn them. Tweets, blog posts, and Facebook comments require that you leave a link to said deed(s) so that I may verify your claim.

You may earn a maximum of 15 tickets in a variety of ways.

Earns 3 Tickets:

- Following this blog
- Being a fan of my official Facebook page
- Following my Twitter account

Earns 2 Tickets:

- Tweet about the contest OR retweet my contest post
- Mention the contest on your blog

*Remember to link to this blog in your tweet/blog post!*

Earns 1 Ticket:

- Comment about the contest on Facebook in either a status update, or note (provide a link to this blog)

- Leave a comment on this post (granted you need to comment to be eligible to win; I admit this is a freebie!)

*Remember to link to this blog in your Facebook update/note*

I know I've spelt this out quite carefully, but just for overkill purposes I'll give an example:

Steve Smith tweets about the contest, becomes a follower of my twitter and this blog, and leaves a comment saying that he's earned nine tickets on account of said tweet, following, and comment. He also makes sure to link me to his tweet so that I may verify his claim. I verify, and put his tickets into the spinner. Steve Smith is now entered into the contest!

Best of luck to all of you!

If you haven't already signed up for Emily White's contest over at Stepping Into Fantasy, now would be a good time to do so. Your entry need not be posted on your blog until August 30th, so there's still ample time to participate.
