Blog-o-versary + CONTEST!

One year ago today, I created this blog.

*sniff*

My first post went a little something like:

Due to my extreme and frenetic (hence the blog title) love of reading, I'm here to review books and post about book related things. And that's about all you need to know.

I'll be back to post a review within the week. (Hopefully.)

And look, I'm still here! Aren't you all lucky?

It's been a crazy awesome year here on the blog. I've loved reviewing amazing books and chatting with all my fellow reviewers. You are all FABULOUS.

Let's take a look some of the firsts that occurred in my first year of blogging, shall we?

First review: Guitar Girl. I think I'd like this book much more if i read it now. But whatever.

First person who commented: Steph. Yay Steph!

First author who commented: Barrie Summy, whose book I've never read...I should get on that.

First author who sent me a book for review: Catherine Ryan Hyde. I reviewed Chasing Windmills and LOVED it.

First interview: Jim Rugg, illustrator of The Plain Janes.

First mention of David Levithan (this is an important event guys): It was actually in my Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List review.

First blogger I met: Sharon! She's not as scary in real life.

First contest: None! Shocking, isn't it? But today. Today I'm fixing this, because I am having a CONTEST.

I bet you want to know what you could win in this CONTEST. If you do, you are in luck, because I'm about to tell you.

In this contest, one winner will win four awesome books:

A signed copy of City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (Paperback!)
A signed copy of City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare (Another paperback)
A signed copy of City of Glass by Cassandra Clare (ARC version!)
A signed copy of Wake by Lisa McMann (Paperback)
And a spiffy Wake necklace generously given to me by Lisa McMann.

So, a summary of the prizes: signed copies of the Mortal Instruments series and Wake, and a Wake necklace.


To be entered: leave a comment on THIS blog post. Leave some way to contact you as well, pleeeease. And because I find those "oh hai enter me plz kthnxbai" comments boring, you can tell me...um. You can tell me what books you're looking forward to this year. You can tell me how your day was. You can tell me if you prefer zombies to unicorns or vice versa. You can tell me a story. I don't know. Tell me something interesting.

+1 entry: post about the contest somewhere! Anywhere you want, within reason. (Sidebar of blog is fine.) But you have give me a link to where you posted about it.

Contest ends: Two weeks? That enough time for all you people to enter and stuff? It is now. Ends May 10.

*Only open to US/Canada. I think I'll be having a worldwide contest soon though. (: (Do I even HAVE many readers outside the US?)

  11. Well hello young Khy.
    I had a very nice weekend, thank you very much. I slept in a box in a parking lot while it rained, I got no sleep, I drove in a van, I slept in a cabin called "Columbine", I read books, I ate a lot of food, and I slept. Sleeping in good conditions and bad.
    And you should enter me in your contest. Please. ;)

  12. Because you are such a David Levithan fan you probably know this ^_^ but since I loved these as a kid here is a DL fact-

    David Levithan has edited over a hundred of the Jedi Quest and Jedi Apprentice and Last of the Jedi books (the ones by Jude Watson)! I'm not sure that it will interest anyone but I was obsessed with those books at about 10!

    Anyhow I've also sidebarred you @

  13. Hello.
    So, today I was just trying to order books from the library, when I realized that I had completely forgotten what the book I wanted to order was called. Cursing myself slightly for my stupidity, I googled it. Google sent me to your blog, which immediately jogged my memory as to what the book was called. Then, as I was looking through your blog - as it helped me, so I wanted to look through it - I saw a link to this contest. I was immediately enthralled, hence this post, hence my entering.
    Basically, this is me, showing you how impressed I am with you for this contest, jogging my memory, and having a blog.
    Anyways, I almost clicked the little orange "PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT" button without leaving my email, which would be disappointing, for the obvious reasons.
    ANYHOW, this is my email:
    lizzamay89@gmail.com
    Thanks.
    P.S. Zombies over unicorns any day.

  15. I'm really looking forward to the release of a Nancy Drew computer game! =D Reading and Nanccy Drew are two of my favorites things. You're thinking, A computer game? I know. But these are mysteries that you have to solve. Plus, they're so hard and complex it takes about a week to solve them.

    I love the contest!

  25. The prizes you're giving away are amazing!

    Books I am looking forward to this year are Succubus Heat, Blood Promise, Catching Fire, and Going Bovine! I'm most excited about Catching Fire I think.

    My day has been alright. I've been up all night working on my college work. Stupid.college.papers.on.affluence's.effects. Other than that, it's been good. Thank you for asking...well, sort of asking.

    I have to go with zombies on the zombies-unicorns spectrum. I'm definitely with John Green on that one.

    Something interesting? My brain is rotten mush right now, which isn't very interesting, maybe a little gross actually. But that's my excuse of not being able to come up with anything interesting.

    Best wishes,
    Sierra

  26. Congratulations on your blogoversary! I'm glad you stuck around!

    I'm looking forward to Beautiful Creatures, but it won't be out until the end of the year.

    I'm having a good day; school was canceled due to flooding, so I'm at home blogging/reading.

    I have to go w/zombies. They are just more interesting than unicorns.

    How's that? Am I entered?

  29. Right now, this is like one of the ultimate giveaways for me! Holy cow! :)

    Let's see, I prefer unicorns to zombies unless they are man-eating unicorns. Then I prefer kittens. As far as what I'm looking forward to - Prey by Rachel Vincent and Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev. Oh yeah!

    I posted a link to this from my sidebar and am in the middle of posting an actual post about it as well.

  34. Today about 2 minutes after I woke up, the sweat already streaming down my face because it was so damn hot, I was kidnapped by a gang of hostile aliens, brought aboard their mother ship, and hyperspeeded to the planet Uranus, where they are forcing me to comment on your blog at gunpoint.

    HAH, FOOLED YA! :) :) :)

    Wow, I'm silly. But you're fantastic for having this giveaway. I'd like to be entered, and I've, um, linked to this contest in my sidebar. http://stephsureads.blogspot.com Yay thanks!

    (Totally agree with you about the "enter me kthxbye" comments though. Ick.)

    ReplyDelete

  35. This is an awesome prize package!

    Lets see:

    I'm looking forward to Kelley Armstrong's The Awakening, the sequel to The Hunger Games, Kelley Armstrong's Frostbitten, the new Generation Dead book, and the sequel to Michael Grant's Gone, among others.

    My day has been tiring but good - we drove 55 miles each way to buy a cheap but cool patio set. I also finished The Hunger Games today, so that was cool too.

    I definitely prefer zombies to unicorns, although it was opposite when I was younger. I do think a zombie unicorn would be great though!

    A story? I have a cute little cockatiel named Princess Zelda, but for some reason we end up calling her Princess Poo, and every time we leave the house, she gives the saddest little cheep. A mean bird roommate plucked her head and neck bald before we adopted her, so when we got her, she looked like a little buzzard, but her feathers are slowly growing back.

    Oh, and I can touch my tongue to my nose and I read way too many books (138 this year so far!)

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  40. Someone saw a blonde eating a Tootsie Roll Pop and asked her, "So, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll - Tootsie Pop?"

    Without a thought, the blonde replied, "Beats me, but it took almost the whole day just to lick through the wrapper."

  44. Hey so here's something different that some people know about me and a lot of people don't (and some of my readers will probably run screaming and kicking away from me *if* they knew) I heart the Spice Girls. I own every album, and I went to see their last concert in Las Vegas! :o) Oh and I think I'd prefer unicorns to zombies.

    Thanks for a very fun contest!

  45. I'm posting this comment on the sly while I'm supposed to be doing work at my desk, but instead am playing online looking at book blogs! Anyways, I'm eagerly awaiting to get my hands on a copy of the Awakening by Kelley Armstrong and Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr. I've never actually read any of the Immortal Instrument books, but I've heard so much about them, I'd love to win them. Thanks!

  46. I discovered today from my friend that I do not have a signature "thing". Everyone in my group of friends have a "thing" that they often do. Like one would raise her voice till you go deaf, while another has this signature pout. Me? Nothing! I was a little offended and relieved at the same time but I still want to know my signature thing.

    Something interesting, hmm? Okay, I'll tell you something interesting. So technically, I didn't really stumble upon this entire network of YA book blogs for real-real until recently (as in end 2008/start 2009). But, but - yours, I believe I visited back in July of 2008.

    My first ever comment on your blog (I was Googling because I'd just reviewed it on my old blog) was on your review of Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year. It went something like this:

    "deltay said...
    I got an ARC of this book too, about a month ago, and I agree. Nice review, by the way.

    July 15, 2008 9:26 AM "

    Let's see... I woke up this morning to find a bug on my toothbrush. Yes, my toothbrush. Needless to say, that thing was tossed in the trash with a giant scream from me... and I think I woke up half of my house with all my noise. I had an overwhelming urge to just go right back to bed and start the day over. OY. I realize how horrifying this is, but it's a pretty interesting story, eh? :)

    Thanks for the chance!

  60. You know what I think are awesome? Zombie unicorns. I mean, come on - who wouldn't like the juxtaposition of brain-eating creatures combined with magical creatures that shoot rainbows from their horns. They'd certainly be deceiving, wouldn't they? "OMGBBQ, look at the cute little unic--AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

    Right. So I'm actually looking forward to reading "Stealing Lincoln's Body." It's the true story of the people who plotted to rob President Lincoln's grave. Fascinating, seriously. I'm such a history geek.

    Anyway! Thank you for the giveaway! I hope my thoughts were interesting enough. :o)

    So desperate to win signed copies of the Mortal Instruments series. :x

    A story. Well, today I was supposed to cover the national Bossaball Charity Challenge. I went out with my best friend Shah and we made our way downtown to find St Joseph's Institution, the place that the event was held. We cabbed our way there, and saw that it was closed. It was in a creepy clearing, and needless to say we knew we got the wrong place.

    Then the cab driver told us that there was another SJI, and we went there only to find out it was the wrong place. Frustrated, we made our way home only to pass by the third, final and correct SJI.

    -.-

    I hope that's interesting. Btw, Bossaball is a fusion of volleyball, soccer, handball, floorball and other sports.

  67. OOH, I find that your able to keep a continuous blog for a WHOLE year soooo cool. When I made my blog, like 3 months ago, I was so exited to write about all my books.

    So far, I've only reviewed one book. =/
    lol.

    So, I'm looking foward to reading Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen.

  73. That's funny you blogged something about zombies. I'm a a middle aged housewife, and love zombie movies. My favorite is the George Romero movie that takes place in a Pittsburgh mall. I forget what it is called, because all the titles sound the same.

    Also, I'm having a great day. I just had varicose vein surgery, and I have not even taken any Tylenol! I guess the surgeon did a good job.

    Here's a link to my blog, so you can leave a comment if I win. I hate to leave my email address, because some fool will put me on a silly mailing list.

  77. oh whoa how awesome!

    Hmm something interesting?
    Well the other day I was wearing heels and it may have slipped my mind that heels and grass just don't mix. Point is I ended up getting STUCK on the grass, it sucked. Quite funny though hehe

  78. I just found your website and I have to say, it's very nice. I'm big into reading, especially YA lately, and I think I'll be lurking on your website for quite some time.

    Also, I need the set of the Mortal Instruments book because I owned the first, but my brother ruined it! It's a travesty, I tell you!

    Thanks!

  83. Oh hi enter me please k thankx bye!

    Just kidding! ;)
    Hmmmmm did you know that on That 70's Show when they had to shot a scene that contained both Jackie and Donna one of them is always sitting due to their height difference. When they both have to be standing Jackie wears platform shoes. Or that Mila Kunis was 14 when she auditioned for the role of Jackie but lied and said she was 18. (That 70's Show is on....)

    Enough of my rambling. I would love to be entered and congrats on your blogoverary! I look forward to following you in the future.

  84. I'm looking forward to numerous books this year. My TBR list is so long it needs its own zipcode! But here are some I'm looking forward to: Carpe Diem by Rachel Caine, Blood Promise by Richelle Mead, Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead, Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning, On the Edge by Ilona Andrews, and Darkborn by Alison Sinclair.

  85. Ah! First of all, I hope I win :D. I'm watching Dirty Dancing right now and it's probably one of my favorite movies, I can't wait till the end. It's the best part! I wish I could dance like them, I have zero rhythm. I really can't wait to read Tricks by Ellen Hopkins. I usually adore all of her books but this one seems really, really interesting. I'm starting a bunch of new series too. Like House of Night, Private, The Hunger Games (even though the second book isn't out yet.), and Uglies!

  89. I would comment with a story I wrote, but it's too long. But I will be posting it on my blog soon. It's called Broken Fey.

    Hmm... I just finished reading Angels and Demons to be ready for the movie. And I can't wait for May 26th, when Hunger by Michael Grant comes out!!!

  91. I just found your blog today :-) So I'm going to go check out your other posts while I'm here. Congrats on your blog-anniversary, that's very neat! I wish I could keep a blog but I don't have that kind of dedication unfortunately :-) And I like zombies and unicorns oddly enough :-)

  93. I will tell you that I just ate two bowls of chocolate/caramel ice cream for lunch and I now have a smile on my face. YUM, ice cream. If you lived closer, I'd invite you over for another bowl.
