Enter my Blogoversary "Build A Book Giveaway"-Giveaway

Happy Birthday To N.A.R.B!

The Blogoversary is officially on April 14th, but why not get a head start gifting out goodies?

The books you can possibly win!

For my blog's first birthday, I've decided to keep it small (due to limited time & resources, ect) but I felt it wouldn't be right to let the 14th come and go and not celebrate. So in honor of all these positive vibes I am feeling at reaching this milestone, I am hosting my first 'Build A Book Giveaway' Giveaway as a part of the festivities.

What in name of Lord Byron is that, you may ask? Well, I've got a few brand new books (and two, once-read, great condition books) lying about; some that just happen to hold a special meaning to me and some that are just really good but I haven't gotten to. They range in genre from historical, to paranormal, to contemporary, and YA. Since I know lots of you out there like to genre-whore yourselves out (kidding), I figured I put them all up for grabs and give one winner 5 books!

"But what if I've read one or have some in my TBR pile?"
Shut up Annie Asks-a-lot and keep on reading. The winner will receive THEIR CHOICE of 5 out of the 9 books I have available with the option to exchange one of their five picks for a kindle-version (gifted) of a book of their choosing (at a $7.99 value).

BUT WAIT! There's more!
I've also got a nice box of Twinings of London Black Tea Variety Pack (20 ct.) to throw in with the books. Get your Earls Grey on!







And Wait! there's MORE more!
AND I'll pick up either some Lindor Truffles or a nice bar of premium chocolates to throw in with that! (The brand (might have to sub with Hersey Bliss) depends on what's in stock at the store since I'll purchase right before shipping)

Wanna see them???

The picture isn't the best, but there you have it! The books up for grabs for your Build A Book Giveaway prize!

Available books:

• 'Nine Rules To Break When Romancing A Rake' by Sarah MacLean
• 'The Abduction Of Julia' by Karen Hawkins
• 'Night Falls Darkly' by Kim Lenox
• 'Yours Until Dawn' by Teresa Medeiros
• 'Swept Away By A Kiss' by Katharine Ashe (gently used; read once)
• 'Goodnight Tweetheart' by Teresa Medeiros
• 'The Truth About Forever' by Sarah Dessen
• 'Lost & Found' by Jacqueline Sheehan
• 'Going Too Far' by Jennifer Echols (gently used; read once)

Some oldies, but goodies- and some even have blog significants. The first book, 'Nine Rules...', was the Readers Choice Award 2010 winner on here, the second, 'The Abduction Of Julia', was the first reader recommendation I posted, 'Yours Until Dawn' was a pick inspired by the awesome Ashley March...All the books are special and are looking to find a good home!

Hopefully, a few of the availale books have skipped out on your TBR pile (naughty books) and nows your chance to get a copy. Fill out the form now! Ends 04/21/2011!

Rules:
*Must be a Follower of this Blog (it is the Blogoversary)- I am not picky where, though. A simple 'like' on facebook counts- so does actually GFC following, Twitter following, and goodreads friending. Only one entry per person, so following more than one won't increase your chances.
*Must live in the US
*Not a real Must, but i'd appreciate a comment on some of the Blogoversary posts. The Makeover reveal and Memory Lane posts will be posted on the 14th- so stopping by and leaving a few words would really make my day!

Extra entry, anyone?:
Want some extra shots at winning the prize? Help spread the word about this giveaway and my blogoversary and you'll receive some extra entries in the giveaway.  Do any/all of the following and fill out the extra entries form real quick:
+1 tweet about it on twitter: you can copy/paste this:

Thanks again everyone! I hope the books find good homes and that the rest of y'all are as excited as I am for the next year in N.A.R.B's life!!

Coming Soon: ROMANCE GIVEAWAYS [.com]

[Edit]: Unfortunately, the launch of BookGiveawaysToday (and sister sites like Romance Giveaways) has been postponed indefinitely. Any further information I obtain will be posted here.
Oh yeah! Who doesn't love a good giveaway? I know I love the rush one gets when one sees their name in a giveaway post. I also love the jubiliation one feels as they rip a package out of a scared little postman's hands that contains a new addition to ones library.
I've even won a giveaway or two that contained a new-to-me author's book and soon found a new obsession. Let's just face it: Giveaways ROCK! But obviously you can't win them all, and the more popular sites have more entrants, which means a less likely chance of winning.You leave a comment, wait the week or two for the announcment, and then your heartbreaks as you see that you didn't win.
Wish there was a place that held giveaways daily; Oh wait, (tehehe) there is-or soon will be-:

What’s better than reading romance books? How about reading FREE romance books? Starting in April 2011, you can win 9 different books each day from Romance Giveaways(http://www.romancegiveaways.com/).

There’s no registration or membership required, and you don’t even have to post a comment. All you have to do is read the information about the books and, if you’re interested in winning them, enter your email address. 9 random participants will win a free romance book each day, and possibly more will win if an author is giving away more than one book! Even if you don’t win, you’ll get a chance to find out information about different books in the sub-genre you like—this includes the cover copy of the book and an excerpt to see if you’re interested in reading more. It’s a great chance to win free books, but also to discover new authors.
In addition to winning free books, you’ll also be able to nominate books that sound interesting for that category’s online book club selection the next month. The book that has the most nominations will be chosen. Although there are thousands of romance readers throughout the world, sometimes we don’t really get a chance to discuss books with other readers. Soon you can with the online book clubs at Romance Giveaways.

And that’s just the beginning. Although the online book clubs will be first, Romance Giveaways plans to offer more features for you to interact with other readers and authors in the coming months, so stay tuned.


Perhaps one of the really exciting things (besides having the chance to win free books!) at Romance Giveaways is the Connections page, where you can earn points by participating on the website. When you earn enough points, you become eligible to receive prizes such as gift cards, books, chocolate, and more.


In anticipation of the launching of Romance Giveaways in April 2011, the company is giving away one book each day at their Facebook page. (link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ashley-March/139984972684003#!/pages/Romance-Giveaways/135900646472866). You can also follow them on Twitter (link: http://twitter.com/#!/RomGiveaways). If you’re interested in seeing what other book giveaway sites the parent company of Romance Giveaways has planned for the future, you can visit http://www.bookgiveawaystoday.com/.


For authors interested in promoting with Romance Giveaways, the website says you can ask for more information by emailing: info@bookgiveawaystoday.com.

So, is it April yet???!?!

I guess I'll have to stalk the facebook page and twitter until the site goes up; but this sounds like a super cool site where you can win books AND learn about new/current author's upcoming work.

 Mark your calendars!
