MERRY CHRISTMAS, bookworms! I hope you’re all having a wonderful time with family and friends and lots of good food, celebrating the birth of Jesus. I know I’ll be having a blast. (Writing this on Christmas Eve.) In fact, if you’re reading this maybe you’re even on a new electronic or spending a lazy post-Christmas day lounging around reading your favorite blog. Because what else would you want to do?
Since 2015 is coming to a close (man that is CRAZY. I blinked and what happened!) I thought I’d do an end-of-the-year survey, so I can make my blog better for you and see what I’m doing right. This is your chance to be 100% honest, since the survey is anonymous. If you could, take two minutes to answer a few questions for me. And then you’ll have an entry into the GIVEAWAY coming up! (Imagine virtual confetti in the air, okay?)
(If the survey doesn’t work below, you can also take it here.)
NOW. Since you’re all such fabulous bookworms, dahlings, I thought what better way to celebrate Christmas than to give YOU a gift! I want you to know how much you mean to me and how much fun I have doing this blog and talking to you all. So thanks for being such fun to chat with. Are you ready to see what you could get?!
The summer Hattie turns 12, her predictable smalltown life is turned on end when her uncle Adam returns home for the first time in over ten years. Hattie has never met him, never known about him. He’s been institutionalized; his condition invovles schizophrenia and autism. Hattie, a shy girl who prefers the company of adults, takes immediately to her excitable uncle, even when the rest of the family — her parents and grandparents — have trouble dealing with his intense way of seeing the world. And Adam, too, sees that Hattie is special, that her quiet, shy ways are not a disability.
I will be giving away a copy of my favorite book of 2015 (A Corner of The Universe by Ann M. Martin!) AND, for international readers as well, a $10 Barnes & Noble gift card! That’s two seperate giveaways, which means TWO of you will be winning something! But of course, as always, there are a few rules:
- The giveaways start December 25, 2015 and ends January 15, 2016.
- I will email the winners no later than January 16. If I do not get a reply within 48 hours, I will have to pick another winner.
- I will be shipping a paperback copy of A Corner of the Universe and emailing the gift card.
- The giveaway entries are hosted by Rafflecopter, and the website will pick a random winner when it is over.
- If I find that anyone is cheating the system, they will be disqualified immediately.
- I am not responsible for lost or stolen packages.
- U.S. residents only, please, for the copy of A Corner of the Universe.
Wow Awesome post and giveaway Emily! I’m looking forward to getting a job and a car in 2016! 😀 If I got the giftcard I would buy one of my favorite books that I don’t own 🙂
Merry Christmas!!
Thanks Madi! Aww, how fun! I’d look forward to that too haha. Here’s to… 2017 or ’18 being the year I would *hopefully* get a car, lol!
That’s always great, to be able to own a favorite. Hope you win!
Merry belated Christmas!
So excited! Merry Christmas, Emily! 😀
Merry Christmas, C.B.!
Thank you for the giveaway!!! Merry Christmas <3
I'm excited for all the new releases in 2016 and just the new year and all the new opportunities!
Merry Christmas, Ali!
AHHH ALL THE NEW RELEASES! There are so many, and I’m crazy excited for them.
Cool!
My husband was badly injured in February of this year, so I’m hoping that next year brings more healing and more travel. We love to travel, but we weren’t able to leave town this year until Thanksgiving because we were busy with surgeries and doctors’ appointments, etc.
Aw, I hope so as well, for you and your husband. My family travels quite a bit throughout the year, and it’s so much fun! Hope 2016 brings less doctors’ appointments and more travel for you! 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m most excited to see my blog grow this year! More traveling and more BOOKS!
You’re welcome! I love doing them, I think all bloggers should. 🙂 They’re loads of fun.
Oh ME TOO! For the Bookish has grown lots since last year, I can’t wait to see what this next year brings!
Awesome giveaway! I’m excited for my new home and spending time with family. Also maturing and growing throughout all the surprises 2016 sends me. Also, of course, books.
I can’t wait to see where you end up moving. 🙂
Oh yes definitely the books. That’s always a plus. And all the new releases!
This looks like a cool book!
I am excited to see what the future holds in 2016!
I can’t wait to see what the future holds in 2016!
I shared the giveaway on youtube cut girls hairstyles comments! 🙂
I’m most excited about all the books I will be reading!! So many great releases come out this year
Omg, I know! There are hundreds, and already the books I’ve read have been amazing. 🙂
Thanks for adding me on Goodreads, Emily! Your blog looks so professional! 🙂 I’m looking forward to graduating next semester and (hopefully) getting a job as a children’s or YA/teen librarian! Ann M. Martin gives me flashbacks to the Baby-Sitters’ Club books, LOL. Thanks for the chance to win one of her stand-alones. If I won the gift card, I would take a trip to my local B&N since I hardly ever get to the town mall where it’s located. 😉
P.S. Zekkaina on rafflecopter
Thanks so much! Aww, how fun! I’d love to do something along those lines as well.
Haha, yes she does! Though I love her historical fictions best. 🙂
Rain Reign is on my “TBR” juvie list ever since it was named a Newberry Honor last year. Which of her historicals are your favorites?
