Blogoversary Giveaway

July is my Blogoversary. I began blogging four years ago. My mission: to communicate with my readers about books I recommend, especially YA literature. Since I began blogging many friends have told me that they read my blog and look forward to the reviews of the books I recommend. Those kind of comments make me feel like my efforts are worth it. I have noticed, however, that fewer people are writing comments on my blog posts. I'm hoping to remedy this through a Blogoversary Giveaway.

Here's how to enter:
1.  Must be a  follower of my blog
2.  Must make a comment somewhere on my blog.  The winner will be awarded a $20 Amazon Gift Card. International entrants welcome. The prize will be awarded on July 31st.
3. Fill out the Rafflecopter Giveaway form.  You can do this once a day. I will try to change the question everyday but I'm new to this whole rafflecopter thing so I'm not sure I know how to do it. Good luck.

    I'd definitely choose to be someone in Harry Potter series (Hermione, perhaps) and explore Hogwarts! :)

    I'm not sure I would want to be any of them. They have some pretty screwed up lives.

    Hi Anne! Happy Blogoversary! I always wanted to be Nancy Drew--she was so good at everything, got to solve all those mysteries, and had a blue roadster! I really just want the blue roadster. ;-)

    Every parent should read Oh the Places You'll Go! By: Dr. Seuss. It's a great book, and my favorite growing up.

    Dr. Seuss "Horton Hears a Who". Teaches that "a person's a person no matter how small". Makes me a bit teary LOL!

    I don't really read on vacation 'coz I get so busy sightseeing or something, so I'll tell you one of my most memorable reads instead. And it's the Lighthouse doulogy by Anne Bishop! Love it!!

    Happy Blogoversary! I think the most memorable thing I've read on vacation had to be Gone With the Wind. Not entirely sure why I read it on vacation either. I think it was a book that happened to be in the place I was staying.

    Well, I can definitely say that it's one of my favorite books - Animal farm, otherwise I think I haven't read anything about animals - at least in English, wait I just thought of - Harry Potter - I loved Hedwig so, so much!!

    Yes ,I can agree 100% with Cordelia - when little I was reading the 1st book of the series about Anne - I was stunned how beautifully nature was pictured - I wished to visit Canada and the isle one day :)
