300 Followers Contest!

Alright guys, this is just crazy. 300 followers! And here's something you might not have known - I'm just coming up on my 3 month mark of blogging! That's just crazy.. 300 followers in less than three months.

Wow. I'm so astonished that I've decided to give away 6 books and some possible gift cards to three different winners!

The books below are actually double copies that I have, so you may have a chance later on to win one of these titles in my comment contest(s).

So here is how it breaks down:

1st winner chooses 3 books from this pile:
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (ARC)
Soulstice by Simon Hold (ARC)
How to Say Goodbye in Robot by Natalie Standiford (ARC)
Break by Hannah Moskowitz (ARC)
Hate List by Jennifer Brown (ARC)
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (ARC)

2nd winner will choose:
the THREE remaining books OR
TWO of the remaining books and a $10 Borders gift card

3rd winner will get:
The remaining book (if it's in the pot) OR
$10 Borders gift card


The Rules:
1. Open to US and Canada (sorry! I'm poor for a while here).
2. Please include your email address with your comment(s).
3. Contest ends Saturday, September 12th at Noon CST
4. How to get points:


Answer one of these two questions:

How did you find out about my blog?

or

What do you like about my blog? (one thing, two things, general...)


+1 for answering one of the questions above (+2 if you answer both).
+2 for following my blog (whether it's through google connect, email, or RSS)
+1 for following me on Twitter (@bookgoil) - Please leave your @name
+2 for every time you advertise this contest - You MUST leave a link
+2 for commenting on any of these book reviews (if I review them before the contest ends), just add a #extra in your comment for it to count.


Thanks for following me and being awesome! :-D

  3. What an awesome giveaway!
    I can't believe you've only been blogging for 3 months! WAY TO GO on the 300+ follower. You've accomplished a lot in that short amount of time.

    -I can't remember how I found out about your blog. I think you may have commented on my blog first. I love comments and I like to comment each person back. You kept visiting and earned a place in my heart =)

    -I enjoy many things about your blog. But mostly your reviews! They are thoughtful and help me decide if I want to read a certain book, especially if I'm "on the fence" with over it.

    - Of course, I'm already a follower =)

    -I follow you on twitter, @mishtakes

    -I posted a link to this giveaway on my sidebar (http://creativitygone.blogspot.com)

    -I tweeted it too!! http://twitter.com/mishtakes/statuses/3646121943

    Thanks so much Kristen! And Congrats again <33
