Really Random Tuesday #82: Blogiversary Giveaway!


Over the past month, my reading time has been shrinking.  I haven't posted a book review (or any other type of post) for two weeks.  It's not due to too many games of Words with Friends (although I do continue to enjoy playing that game on my phone), it's mostly because of the many events that mark the end of the school year.  I don't want to fall too far behind with my reviews, though, so I plan on "hitting the books" and posting new reviews soon.

Six-year Blogiversary!<br>

This month marks my six-year blogiversary!  It's hard to believe that I started this blog six years ago, in May of 2008.  I've enjoyed many things about book blogging, and am thankful for my all of my readers, who live in many countries around the world. 



In appreciation of my readers, I'm giving away a $25 gift card to Amazon.  This giveaway is open internationally.

  • To enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment.
  • For another chance at winning, become a follower of this blog, or let me know that you're already a follower.
  • For an additional chance, post about this contest on your blog, Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter.
  • For an additional entry, mention what books (or other goodies) you'd get with the gift card.

Enter by 5 PM PDT on Monday, June 9.  One winner will be selected randomly and announced on Tuesday, June 10.  Good luck, and thanks for visiting my blog!

Really Random Tuesday #81: Book Photos and a Book Winner


I hope all of my readers had a lovely Mother's Day.  This holiday made me think about my mother a lot, and I felt kind of pensive on Sunday.  I really miss being able to talk to her, and to joke around with her.  Her sense of humor was exceptional.  She passed away in June of 2011. 

******************

Do you also take photos with your phone while at bookstores (and other shops)?  I love the titles and covers and the way books (and other things) are arranged.  These photos are from a couple of bookstores I visited recently.  Having an iPhone makes it easy and fun to take pictures wherever you are.  I could have gone "hog-wild" but I only took a few photos this time.




******************

Please help me to congratulate the winner of  The Bali Mystery by Linda Weaver Clarke, Sharon Braswell.  Congratulations, Sharon!  I think you'll enjoy reading this cozy mystery.  The second book in the series, The Shamrock Case, will be available to the public next month.  I'm looking forward to reading that book soon.
