Got Books? – Our Favorite Bookish Things Giveaway
July 22nd, 2010 by the1stdaughter**This is a Sticky Post for the Got Books? Event through Saturday the 24th at Midnight EST. For more recent posts, including “A Bit of Me(Me)” scroll down.**
Got Books? is an annual event that, after participating in the wonderful bi-annual event, BLOGMANIA, both Gina from Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers and myself decided we wanted something exclusively book. An event that revolved entirely around everything “bookish”, including the blogs involved. We love books and everything about them and wanted to give them the opportunity to shine!
So, beginning tonight, July 23rd at 12:01am EST until July 24th at 12:00pm EST we will be celebrating everything “Bookish”! Make sure to take a stop at the main Got Books? Event site to find some more amazing giveaways and blogs to discover! The final tally for the number of blogs involved, 111, can you believe it?! Both Gina and myself are so excited for this event and hope we can continue it year after year.
I also would be wrong if I didn’t give a big THANK YOU to Gina for all her hard work! She’s amazing and if you haven’t started following her site, Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers, what are you waiting for?!
Now, on with the giveaway!
We decided that what better than giving away some of our favorite things? Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom for some extra bookish goodness!
As those of you who have stopped by There’s A Book before might know, our reviews come from three very different people: The1stdaughter (Danielle), TheTurkeybird (my 3 year old son), and Littlebug (my 1 year old daughter). We review Children’s books, Middle Grade books as well as Young Adult novels. So, definitely some variety! Because of this, each of us has something we absolutely love and want to share with you! So here goes:
Bookmarks are a Must! Here is our favorite from a little shop called Sweet Harvey:
Notebooks are also a Must! You need something to take notes in for those reviews, right? Here is our favorite from a little shop called Katie Blair Designs:
Book Lights. No explanation needed.
Finally, our Favorite Books:
Cat the Cat Who Is That? by Mo Willems – Littlebug’s Favorite
Scaredy Squirrel by Melanie Watt – The Turkeybird’s Favorite
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins – The1stdaughter’s Most Anticipated Book (or the pre-order book of your choice!)
So, how does this work?
- There will be 2 prize packs with the “Bookish” prizes above that include a “surprise” book from our favorites (they may be different than above).
- There will also be a winner for each of the “Favorite Books” above, 3 total. If you live internationally, in exchange for the book you will receive a $10-$15 Gift Certificate to Book Depository, depending on the value of the book being exchanged.
That’s it! What do you think?! Excited for the Pre-Order of Mockingjay or your favorite coming soon?
