Gratitude Giveaway Blog Hop

Kathy from "I am a Reader, Not a Writer" is hosting another awesome blog hop giveaway and loads of bloggers are participating in the fun (see Mr Linky below). 

The Gratitude Giveaways - Blog Follower Appreciation Hop - is a way to say thank you to you for being a blog follower of All the days of!

The book I have decided to give away is Number 1 on my wish list at the moment - and I hope on yours as well.  The book is:

iDrakula by Bekka Black

The classic vampire story that started it all gets new life for a generation of connected teens
18-year-old Jonathan Harker is diagnosed with a rare blood disorder after visiting a Romanian Count. His girlfriend Mina and a pre-med student named Van Helsing team up to investigate the source of the disease. The teenagers discover a horrifying truth: the Count is a vampire. The harrowing events unfold through emails, text messages, web pages, Twitter feeds, and instant messaging-the natural modernization of Bram Stoker's original Dracula, which was written in letters, diary entries, and news clippings.

I will be buying your book from the Book Depository.  So please make sure they ship to your country.

The Book Depository




When you filled in my little form, why not go and see some of the other blogs on the hop.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Please note that this giveaway will end at 12h00 my time (see my little clock on the right hand side)  on the 28th of November 2010.


THIS GIVEAWAY HAS NOW CLOSED.

“Follow me” Blog Hops and meme’s this week


I decided to join the Blog following fun of Follow my book blog (and twitter) meme again this week. (Click the image if you want to join us).
This week’s question:  What is your usual monthly book budget?
My answer:  I don’t have a budget as I do not buy new books every month.  I buy them as I find ones I would like.


Book Blogger Hop
In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word!  This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!  It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs to read!  To join in go to Crazy for Books for all the details.
This week’s questions is:  "If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"
My answer:  “Absolutely.  I will never read book two or three or whatever before I have read the ones before them.  Just can’t do it.”

This week's question is: 
In honor of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, let's take time this week to honor our favorite book bloggers and why we love them!
Photobucket


I enjoy Danielle's site.  She is super friendly and always have a few minutes to chat if it is by email or on twitter.  We also mostly have the same taste in books and I enjoy her reviewing style.



One of my other favourite blogs are SPINSTER STITCHER.  Although hers is not a book blog, she leaves me giggling almost every time I visit.  She writes about her and her little doggy, Stewey's, day-to-day adventures.  :) If you need a smile fix, visit her.

This is a easy question for me this week.  My favorite review has to be the one I did for WILDTHORN - I just loved this book.  You can find it here.  It was such a simple book but just touched me in a strange way :)

Parajunkee's question for the week:  eBook or Print

    This week's question:  Do you judge a book by its cover?
    Yep, I guess I do.  A beautiful cover will always draw my eye and I will want to know what the story is about.  If I don't care for the blurb, I won't take it further but the cover will be what draws me to click on the title.

    This week's question:
    Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?  I don't use a rating system (yet).  I am still new to reviewing and trying to find my feet and am not ready for the added pressure.

    ABOUT THE HOP:


    In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word!  This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!  It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs to read! 

    This week's question is:
    Who is your favorite new-to-you author so far this year?

    This is a easy question for me as I have only re-discovered reading late last year.  I have also not ever read Paranormal books before, so all the authors I have been reading has been "new-to-me".  The one I want to mention, is Shelly Laurenston.  What a wonderful find she has been.  Love her books about shifters - her female characters are all very strong women and not afraid to take charge.   

    So click on the picture in this post and come join the fun.
