Our Blog Birthday Bash



This month I have been blogging on Wayfaring Writer for one year. It's been a very cool year because of all the readers and writers I have met along the way. I'm sure you've noticed that my blog rolls are huge. When I started this blog I put authors and book bloggers in my lists because I wanted to be able to easily click on them to see what they were up to. I actually haven't traded links with anyone during this year. I add new blogs when I find them so I can get to know the blogger or the author. I review books because I love to read and I wanted to share the books I love with others.

This year has been a journey of reading and writing for me and to celebrate I'm giving away three book packages to three visitors. The books are very gently read, though a couple of them are brand new because I had duplicates. Below are the books in each grouping:

Paranormal Romance Package
Living With the Dead by Kelley Armstrong
Bitten by Cupid Anthology
Touch the Dark by Karen Chance
Black Magic by Cherry Adair
Be Mine Tonight by Kathryn Smith

Young Adult Package
The Shadow Thieves by Anne Ursu
Little Women and Werewolves
Jane Slayre by Charlotte Bronte/Sherri Browning Erwin
ARC of Linger by Maggie Stiefvater

Historical Romance Package
Much Ado About Marriage by Karen Hawkins
Flirting with Forever by Gwyn Cready
The Devil Wears Plaid by Teresa Medeiros
Call of the Wolf by Susan Krinard

The celebration will be all month long. I have interviews and individual contests going on through September. On October 1st I will count up all the comments. The top three visitors with the most comments will be the winners. The visitor with the most comments will pick first, and so on for all three packages. Enter the other contests, comment on reviews, ask questions or express opinions. All I ask is that each comment is meaningful and not just one or two words. The contest is open to the U.S. and Canada.

I thought about doing extra entries, but I really just want everyone to have fun this month. If you aren't a follower and would like to be I would greatly appreciate it. If you are a book blogger and not on my blog roll, but would like to be please let me know.

Thank you all for letting me blog my thoughts this year. I am truly grateful for all the support:)
If you have any questions or want to leave your first comment, please do.
