Still No Catching Fire Arc

Didn't win any of those contests. Boy, that really sucks. Guess I might have to actually read it, after it releases.

Luckily in my depression I have found another way for someone to win an ARC of Catching Fire, the second novel in the Hunger Games series.

Here's the link: ARC Catching Fire Contest - Get moving it ends next Tuesday (June 30)


The Shady Glade book blog is also giving away an ARC of Catching Fire. Here's the link: Shady Glade Catching Fire ARC Contest.

Catching Fire ARC finds

I may finally get that ARC I've been trying to get for the past few months. It's a giveaway, by random drawing, but that's better than waiting til September 1st. I'm a subscriber to YA Reads book blog. They sent me an email, and low and behold, an ARC of Catching Fire was included in it. Not the actual book, but a link to where I might get one. At the Linus's Blanket book blog you can enter to win a copy.

What are you most looking forward to in Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games?

If you can answer this you can, possibly, win.

There is another one I have found. It's from Reviewer X book blog.

Linus's Blanket Catching Fire ARC Giveaway - Ends June 22, 2009 EST
Reviewer X ARC Catching Fire Contest - Not sure when this one will end, it depends on response. You have to place a link directly back to them.

Long-winded

I am extremely long-winded. It's a shame. I talk so freakin' much. That's a trait I find very unattractive, yet, I do it.

One year I had to deal with a teacher who worked my nerves. Her opinions seemed to be the only thing that mattered. She talked way too much. I could go on, but that was the past. At present I found a new giveaway.

The Pixel Boutique is having a really good, useful giveaway. The winner will receive a one year subscription to Carbonite, a completely automatic online backup system. So, if you never want to lose anything, well, almost anything again, enter.

I have to supply an anecdote. My computer hard drive has never crashed, and hopefully never will. Last year I was deeply depressed. For the past two or three years I had been storing my stories on a thumb drive. It was most convenient. One day the thing broke apart. I lost all my work. I never want that to happen again. Now I write my stories in a binder. No one can argue that word processing isn't more convenient. It would be nice to type up something, without having to worry about losing it forever. (What I wanted to write in the comments for my entry, but didn't for obvious reasons.)

Here's the link: Peace of Mind: A Giveaway - Ends Friday, May 22 at midnight

Found a new giveaway

I saw EA Sports Active in a Best Buy sale paper a couple of weeks ago, I think. It seemed like it might be nice. I thought the same thing about Wii Fit, but was unable to purchase it. Now, I might get a game just as good as it. Quirky Fusion has a nice giveaway going on. You have to comment about what you like about exergaming or an idea for a game. Then there are three opportunities for you to gain bonus entries.

Ends on April 30th.

See if you can win.

You shouldn't be ashamed of being a Twilight Fan

For some reason a lot of people do not like the Twilight Saga. You are more than welcome to feel that way. Whether you like the books or not, no one has the right to bash one another. Anyone can throw insults, if they choose, but I just don't see why. Be respectful.

Now on to what I wanted to talk about. I just found another, yes, another Twilight giveaway. Two actually, but I'll only talk about one for the moment. Over at Practically Sisters until April 14, tomorrow (sorry I just found it) to win a Twilight 2 Disc Special Edition DVD.

Good luck. Next time I'll try to find contests sooner.

Debbie's April Reader Contest

A friend recommended I read Doctor Texas. They didn't have it at my library; so, I decided to check out Debbie Macomber's website, and found a great prize. Since I like knitting this is an excellent find.

All you have to is sign her guestbook which will subscribe you to her newsletter.

Staying up late has benefits

I just found an amazing giveaway, but before I get into that I must say a few things. I started reading Pride & Prejudice the day before yesterday.

Before I found the 10 ARC Giveaway, I was on a quest to find Fragile Eternity and Catching Fire. Unfortunately, the ones I found where either already given away, or I wasn't eligible.

Back on track...

The Story Siren is celebrating it's 100,000 visitor by giving away 10 ARC to one lucky person.

Hurry you have until April 7th.

New Giveaway

One thing I really love are contests. While I don't win many, I hope that this time will be different. The other day I submitted an entry to win a folding bike. I believe I'm contestant # 8, and would appreciate it if you all voted for me. You can also enter by following the instructions.
Also, before I forget, in order to vote you have to sign up for the newsletter. Which isn't so bad. Voters get 5% off, if they purchase a bike by May 1st.

Thank you.
