Oh and while I have you here, Missie at the Unread Reader is having a bookmark exchange! How fun! Get ready to get rid of the scrap paper holding your place and use something pretty! Go HERE to the post to get the deets and sign up.
I'm also going to do a reading challenge for next year. I usually only chose one and I thought this one would work for me:
Challenge Details
• Timeline: 01 Jan 2012 - 31 Dec 2012
• Rules: There are FOUR (4) LEVELS to choose from:
- One Chomp: Read 6 Zombie books in 2012

I do have to laugh at this one requirement though...
• Only fiction, no non-fiction.
hee hee... could you imagine a non-fiction zombie book? Eep!
My huge announcement:
(well, medium at best...)
If you have been around the blog for a few, you know that I do a puppy giveaway each year to celebrate by teeny puppy's b-day. Well, this year I will do it a bit differently...
This year, I'm going to give away either a $20 gc to Amazon or $20 in books from the Book Depository! That way it will be international. What is different about this one is that I will require you to do something for animals. Doesn't have to be domestic animals and I encourage you to make it local. All deets will be coming up the week of the 11th! If you have any ideas about this giveaway (good, bad, indifferent, suggestions...) please let me know!
Also, don't forget the giveaways going on now! Still time to win Kiss of Frost by Jennifer Estep (US only) and a choice of Darkness Dawns or Night Reigns by Diane Duvall (international)!
What a lovely give away! One of the things I sponsor, is the school where they train littly puppies to become guide dogs for blind people. So, if I win your contest, I get to buy books for myself, and donate the same amount to this very great cause.
ReplyDeleteI love that sketch of your puppy? Your own work? I guess so...
ReplyDeleteAwesome on the giveaway! My husband and I both give to a local organization called Peace for Paws here in Columbus that helps to rescue and then find foster homes for shelter dogs:) It's so hard to look at the dogs they have up for adoption though because I want all of them. Stupid too-small house that can't fit 20 dogs:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a giveaway. I'm a life long member of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society, weird I know but worthwhile considering they reckon that in a few years the hedgehog population may have been wiped out.Never one to miss the opportunity to promote their work you can visit their website at http://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/
