My Blog turns 1 :D + Giveaway! XCLOSEDX


(taken away the pics)

Yes my little blog is turning 1! I am so proud, it has been a rocky road, but then I found my place, had my first ever comment from Anna , got to know more great bloggers and soon I loved the place.

Thank you all who made me feel welcome, fixed my blog, came around and just were so incredibly sweet :D


There is cake and drinks, and I Hired a waiter. Though I think he forgot what a waiter does. And decided to offer some entertainment instead.








Have fun :D
You know I had to hire a hunk cos of certain ladies ;)












GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

And now for my contest since I just love you all and I want to give something back. There will be two winners and the first gets to choose which books she or he wants. The second winner will get the other book.


This has been a year of Paranormal Fantasy and UF so I want to offer a PF, The Accidental Demon Slayer by Angie Fox.

And I love easy read Harlequins that makes you happy so the second choice is Married by Mistake by Abby Gaines.

Update: The First winner will also get a 10 dollar BN giftcard
(note: It is mine but the shipping costs more than the actual giftcard so I am giving it away. If the winner is international she can buy ebooks or get both books offered. We will talk about that later. Can be used at the store or online)




OPEN TO ALL
Will draw a winner next Tuesday, Dec, 22nd.

Ok let the party begin :)
