It's Banned Books Week, peeps. Don't let them tell you what to read!

Labels: 2 cents, book stuff

First let me explain the method of choosing a winner - I listed the names of the entrants (good odds to win since there were only three!) and decided to draw a card - well, a virtual card with a handy-dandy iPhone app called iChoose - with the high card winning.

The results:

CindyS's card was


JenB's card was


Rowena's card was


That means

CindyS WON!!!!



So, Ms. Winner, send me your snailmail and your book of choice and soon books will be headed your way! :-D

Yar...'tis Talk Like a Pirate Day! Break out your Jolly Rogers, peg legs and parrots and enjoy. If you don't, you'll have to walk the plank, ya lily-livered land-lubber!



And remember, you have until midnight Sunday to enter the contest, peeps!

I know, I know...I said there would be something fun much earlier than now but I lied was mistaken.

So, here's the deal - my mother arrives tomorrow for a visit so I will be mostly missing in action until Sunday.


In the meantime, I'm having a CONTEST! I know you're surprised! But since I recently won a contest, I want to share the love. Really, though, I suppose it is more like a RAFFLE.
I don't know if I've mentioned how much I enjoy Robin D. Owens' Celta series but it's one of my faves. Most excellent world building, cool psychic abilities and talking animals! What could be better?


So, here's the deal - if you are unfamiliar with this series and would like to be familiar, leave a comment. You have until Sunday, September 21st, at midnight CDT. I'll draw a random winner and announce it Monday (hopefully).

What do you win, you ask? Why you win the first three books in the series -



I figure that will give the winner a good taste of the series but it won't saddle the her with a bunch of unwanted books, if said winner doesn't like the series. Plus, as a bonus, you win a book of your choice (based on availability at Barnes and Noble.com).


I'll be watching! And I'll have help...



C'mon peeps! You can't win if you don't play! ;-)

I was one of the winners of Cindy's Birthday Week contest! Yay!!



So, for Cindy and Bob -



I know I mentioned that there was something fun and cat-related coming soon here but it isn't happening as fast as it should 'cause I'm lazy. Stay tuned, peeps!
