Book Blogger Appreciation Week
Sep. 15th, 2009 09:43 amNot only is this week National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness week, but it's also Book Blogger Appreciation Week in which many book bloggers across the Internet are being remarkably generous with giveaways and also sharing their favorite blogs among their peers. I wish I'd known about this in enough time to participate with a book giveaway of my own! There are also awards being awarded to the community: it's quite an amazing carnival.
Well, if I can't be a participant on the blogging side this year, I can definitely be a participant as a contestant! Yes, indeed. I may or may not have entered as many giveaways as there are letters in the English alphabet.
Allow me to promote a few of the giveaways:
Bibliofreak has put together a number of prize packages that have the laudable side effect of benefitting the Seattle Public Library. She's giving away Shakespeare insult buttons, Scrabble tile earrings, READING IS SEXY stickers, and quotable coasters.
Jenn's Bookshelves is giving away a book of your choice! Er, within reason. No requesting a signed edition of Leaves of Grass or even one of the Absolute Sandman volumes.
Boston Bibliophile is giving away the fascinating graphic novel What It Is by Lynda Barry along with samplers of other comics. Pretty much anything that includes the words "grab-bag" and "graphic novels" is my cup of tea!
Debbie's World of Books is giving away an Amazon.com $25 gift card, also known as manna from heaven to bibliophiles.
Finally, just go and browse the giveaways. Not only will you find contests for The Hunger Games (Collins), Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd (Black & Castellucci), and Rampant (Peterfreund), but you'll discover many excellent new book bloggers as well.
