Today is one of those absolutely beautiful days, it's even a little warm, and I'm feeling particularly grateful for my blessings. This past year has certainly brought a lot of them! I've had some awesome opportunities to travel, got a great job, and have an awesome family. And, of course, my little blog here has grown a ton and I'm incredibly grateful for those people who have stopped by, left comments, or just lurked. It's been wonderful! So, in light of that feeling, and because it's Thanksgiving season, I thought I'd do a little giveaway :)
Who wants a book of their choice from The Book Depository? Okay, really, who doesn't want a book of their choice? All that you need to do to enter is leave me a comment telling me what you're most grateful for lately, and enter the rafflecopter. There are plenty of other ways to gain additional entries too, for those of you so inclined. And if I get over a hundred people entered, I will add another item to the giveaway (details on that will be announced if it happens).
This is an international giveaway, in so far as The Book Depository ships to wherever you live. Let's keep the book of your choosing under twenty dollars, too (that new job doesn't pay all that great). Other questions? Drop me a note (email on the sidebar or in the comments).
| Something I try to remember...and am pretty lousy at most of the time... |

DeleteI'm very thankful for the opportunity to take those few months off of work to finish writing my novel. I'm thankful to all my friends and family who support me in this craziness, rather than just tell me to go and find a 'real job'. :)
