Attention Bookworms – A GIVEAWAY

prizeypick

Congratulations to our winner…Danel!

Great news! The Creature ABC giveaway below is a Prizey pick! Thanks to Prizey for reconigzing what a great giveaway this is and welcome to everyone from Prizey and good luck!

OnceinaBlueMoon Geek. Nerd. Dweeb. Bookworm. Egghead. Bluestocking. I’ve been called them all (primarily by my husband), but I still have my nose in a book every single day. Why? Because books like Once In A Blue Moon by Eileen Goudge keep me reading.

Sure, it’s chic-lit, but it’s engaging and entertaining and a welcome way to spend my lunch break. Especially since the book is about two sisters and an exotic dancer named Honi Love, which pretty much sums up my life.

That is – if I knew an exotic dancer named Honi Love. And if my sister and I were complete opposites, one of which gets adopted by a lovely family while the other bounces from one foster home to the next.

Just a note – I get the lovely family, because this is my book review, damnit.

Anyway – Once In A Blue Moon is the classic story of the trials and tribulations of two sisters, how they become separated, and how they are finally reunited. Like I said, not exactly highbrow, but a delightfully guilty pleasure on par with VC Andrews books. Which pretty much means I love it.

Once In A Blue Moon is released on September 26th, but I highly recommend you preorder it and plan on spending an evening in the tub enjoying this book. ___________________________________________________________

9780811869782 norm And if it isn’t bad enough that I’m a bookworm, I encourage reading with all the little tykes in my life. Cousins, friends, nieces and nephews have all gotten books from me for birthdays and Christmas.

Creature ABC by popular wildlife photographer Andrew Zuckerman is a new favorite. I even have my own copy that I won’t be giving away.

Each letter of the alphabet features a phenomenal animal portrait on a stark white background that really showcases the animal and the excellent photography. The photos are so clear you can see the individual quills on the porcupine and the scales on the goldfish.

There’s even a glossary with additional information on each animal featured in the book. It’s a truly exceptional book and I want you to have a copy! Here’s how to enter:

Leave a comment telling me your favorite animal.

Twitter a link to this giveaway. Include @CorrinRenee and the hashtag #CreatureABC

Make sure to leave a separate comment for each entry.

The fine print… Entries will be accepted until midnight, Thursday, October 1st. One winner will be chosen at random and announced on Friday, October 2nd. Winner will be contacted by email and/or Twitter and will have 48 hours to respond. Please use your real first name and a valid email address when entering. I am not responsible for incorrect contact information. Prize will be shipped directly from sponsor. Good luck!

Special thank you to One2One Network for allowing me to review Once In A Blue Moon and to Chronicle Books for allowing me to review Creature ABC.

Spread the love...
