Just a few more hours…

Hi Everyone,

Well the anniversary/celebration party will begin in just a few more hours. I want to make sure each of you has all the information needed in order to have fun with this celebration. So here is all the rules and information you will need.

First up: The Year in Review.

Each week, starting on Saturday, I will be taking a look back at several of the books I have read. Most of these features will be accompanied by a mini-giveaway courtesy of the authors. With these giveaways, all you need to do is leave a comment to be entered to win. Mini-Giveaways will be open from the Saturday they are posted through the following Friday. Winners will be chosen using Random.org and will be announced the following Saturday! If you enter to win a mini-giveaway, please check back the following week to see if you have won. Winners will have 72 hours from the time of the announcement to contact me via email (see Contact page.) If the winner does not contact me within 72 hours, then I new winner will be chosen via Random.org.

The Big Giveaway:

Starting May 25, 2013 at 12:01 am EDT through July 31, 2013 at 11:59 pm EDT, the Big Giveaway will be live! This is a very large giveaway, so the winner will be chosen using a Rafflecopter. There are several parts to this giveaway, so I will explain each section, now:

1. In order to enter to win the Big Giveaway, you must be a follower of this blog. This is mandatory, because this is my way to say thank you to all of you!
2. There will be several ways to enter, from following authors to answering questions. None of these are mandatory, since they are meant to be fun.
3. There is one option that is a daily option and there will be other bonus entries available from time to time. So be sure to check back often.
4. Twitter:
a. Each Sunday, there will be a character description posted on Twitter. If you can guess the character’s name, then please enter it in the corresponding Rafflecopter entry. Please do NOT tweet it, post it or comment with your answer. Any answers posted anywhere other than in the Rafflecopter will be deleted. (This is a game, so please don’t ruin it for others.)
5. Facebook:
a. Each Monday, there will be a line or stanza from various poems posted on Facebook. If you can name the title of the poem or the poet’s name, then please enter it in the corresponding Rafflecopter entry. Please do NOT comment on Facebook or here with your answer. Any answers posted anywhere other than in the Rafflecopter, will be deleted. (I repeat, this is a game, so please don’t ruin it for others.)
6. There will be random posts on the blog throughout this time, which will provide chances for bonus entries.
7. There are several opportunities to win, but most of all I just want everyone to have fun!!!

*You can find the Rafflecopter entry form here and on Facebook.*

Thank you again for all of your support. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Everything starts tomorrow, so now’s the prime time to ask.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Thanks again and Enjoy!
