Thanks for entering!Meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00980014096156291725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505850012353260147.post-58497789026369687812011-10-24T19:12:00.004-04:002011-10-24T19:38:50.393-04:00SwapHELLO. It has certainly been a long time. I don't have another contest at the moment unfortunately, but I do want to let you know that I have five books available for swap on Goodreads <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/swap/user/1077844-meghan">here</a>. None of them are YA, so it's a long shot that you would want them, but I thought I would mention it. Goodreads announced that they are shutting down their swap in a week, so it's your last chance to get them there. If you are a Goodreads member, please request them there. Otherwise, if there is a book that you would like, let me know and we can work it out. My email is mdondero(at)sprynet(dot)com.<div>Also, if you have any recommendations for bookswap sites, I would appreciate them. I've looked at a few and none of them are quite what I want. I would like something similar to Goodreads' system- no points, just send and receive books. Pay for shipping only for the ones you request. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, again, here's the link to Goodreads: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/swap/user/1077844-meghan">http://www.goodreads.com/swap/user/1077844-meghan</a></div><div>And thanks for any recommendations!</div>Meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00980014096156291725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505850012353260147.post-28210196231623940852011-03-17T16:17:00.002-04:002011-03-17T16:22:48.673-04:00...Or Not WinnerThe winner of ...Or Not? by Brian Mandabach is:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Leslie G</span><br /><br />Congratulations!

Cassie had no idea defending Darwin and refusing to sing "Proud to be an American" would be such a big deal. But it's a brave new world of post-9/11 paranoia in her über-conservative Colorado school. Trying to stay cool while the torments increase, Cassie wonders if anything is really worth it. Taking solace in her journal, she begins to question if simply <em>being</em> is what she really wants. Or Not?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Contest:</span><br />One person will win a hardback copy of the book.<br />One entry per person.<br />Open to US and Canada only.<br />Ends March 15th at midnight.<br />Fill out <span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEFoWU9MZmowaTY4M2hXSXhQVlZGV0E6MQ">this form</a></span> to enter.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">CLOSED.</span></span>Meghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00980014096156291725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505850012353260147.post-35664492032338652162010-11-21T16:41:00.002-05:002010-11-21T16:57:26.067-05:00Dash and Lily's Book of Dares WinnerThanks to everyone who entered and spread the word about this contest.

Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Contest</span>:<br />One person will win a paperback copy of the book.<br />Open to US and Canada only.<br />Ends July 21.<br />To enter, fill out <span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dF92UVVZUTR1UTJNV0RuQnloYk9BZnc6MQ">THIS FORM</a>.<br /></span><br />Good luck!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">CLOSED.
