I'm excited over here. Having a mini party in my cubicle at work (okay its not really a party, I just did a little dance and I'm eating snacks at my desk, but you get the picture...by the way, paper cuts and hand sanitizer don't work well together). I love each and every one of my followers and I thank you all for Following me. I never thought anyone would be interested in anything I had to say, and to see the way my page has grown over the short time I have been blogging is insane.

I still remember what was going through my mind when I decided to do this: "I love these book blogs, they're so resourceful. I feel like a stalker going to these same blog every day to see if there's a new post, Lurking in the shadows and secretly reading everything they write, but not commenting because they don't know who I am. Maybe if I had a book blog they'd look at it, or I'd at least be able to comment. Oh and I can tell other people what I read and give them great Ideas like I got. Maybe I'll even have my own little lurking stalkers. No, they probably wont even read it. How will people even know I exist. I know! I'll do some research. (does research) Ugh, I'll have to actually write like every day or so. Why am I even upset, I don't do much anyway. Why not do something productive and spend my time doing nothing blogging about my many books I read. Okay....Here...We...Go!" And just like that my blog was made. I giggled with excitement every time i received a comment and felt like Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura, "You Like me! You Really Like me!!!" Its so exciting.

So, to show my gratitude, I am hosting a giveaway. It will run from today, Friday, September 30, 2011 until Friday, October 7, 2011 and the winner will be announced the very next day. The prize will be of the winners choosing. They have the option of receiving:
