Hello, friends! I hope you are having a great weekend. I'm really excited to tell you all that I am going on vacation! YAAAAAAY!
Why is this such a big deal? Well, you see, I've not been on vacation in ten years. I've been a metaphorical slave to my education/academics, and while that certainly has paid off, I think I'm well overdue for a break of some sort. So. I'm going on vacation!
I won't be on Twitter or replying to comments or anything like that. I'm sorry! Where I'm going, there will be no wi-fi or internet for me to have access to social media or my blog. Please bear with me! I hope that I won't lose too many of you while I'm going for the week and a half.
You'll also note that I've never missed a day of blogging since starting in December 2012. (You didn't know that? Now you do!) I've been working hard since graduating on May 24th to have at least one blog post ready for every day I'm going to be gone, and have all of the links scheduled to post on Facebook and Twitter. So I will only be gone in terms of my presence! My blog will be rolling along as usual. I'd like to hold on to that accolade (having posted every day on my blog since my start)! :D
In addition to going on vacation (so exciting!), I'm also moving out of my apartment. I also graduated a little over a week ago. Lots of great changes! Usually these things call for a giveaway. And I won't disappoint - I've got three prizes for you all!
The Giveaway:
Prize #1: win a YA contemporary ARC prize pack! It's a mix of old and new ARCs. Open internationally, ends on June 17th, 11:59 PM EST.
Prize #2: win an adult romance prize pack! A mix of ARCs and paperbacks. Open internationally, ends on June 17th, 11:59 PM EST.
Prize #3: win a book of your choice! MG, YA, NA, Adult, I don't care. Your limit is $17 USD though. Open internationally (as long as The Book Depository ships to your country, ends on June 17th, 11:59 PM EST.
Suggestions:
(Pick whatever you want though!)
I may choose some runner-up winners, for other books that I want to clear off my shelves. These books will be "mystery" books not featured above. There is an option in the Rafflecopter to indicate if you'd be interested in the mystery prizes (if I decide to go through with them)!
Thank you and best of luck! =)
Hope you have a fab vacation since it is obviously well-earned. LOL, you've got your posts covered. You're amazing. I'll definitely be dropping by now and then to check out your posts.
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, great giveaways you have going on. I'm always happy to score books, YA or adult, so even a mystery win would be great.
