Wow... My Blog Turns 3 Today! It's Giveaway Time!


It's a Book Life Turns 3!

I can't believe it has been three years since I started this blog. Three years to the day! I can't believe I stuck with it for so long! I feel proud, excited, and all around good. 

Blogging for me isn't just a hobby, or a chore, it is my passion. When I'm not reading, I'm blogging. If I am not doing either it is because I am spending time with my husband, usually watching movies (or I am at work). I blog because I love sharing my love of books with the world. I love fangriling. I love gabbing. I love writing and reading reviews. I love it all. Does it occasionally get a little stressful? Sure, but then I take a few days off and I am ready to go again. I love it. (I don't think I have used the word love enough in this post yet, good thing there are many more to come.)

Do you know what else I love?! You guys! I am so thankful to each and every one of my followers, my blogger friends (you awesome people know who you are), and the random book lovers that visit and comment. You are all awesome. I love talking to you all about how much I love the bad boys, hate the evil villains, cheer for the MC, etc.  I think you all deserve some virtual hugs!


Don't worry. Since you guys are what make blogging so special I am going to give you more than just a virtual hug. The whole book nerd community makes blogging so much fun that I have decided to host not one, but TWO Giveaways!


Giveaway #1

This one is for US residents only since I have to ship the prize myself. 

What am I giving away? I have a signed ARC of Velvet by Temple West, an ARC of Seriously Wicked by Tina Connolly, and one Groot magnetic bookmark up for grabs. There will be one winner who will receive all three items. I enjoyed both books and who doesn't want a Groot bookmark? Look how pretty they are. 

I know you want to win these!

Rules:
- No cheating please! I'll be checking the entries.
- This one is only open to US residents.
- Each correct guess gives you one entry into the drawing.
- The winner will receive a signed ARC of Velvet, an ARC of Seriously Wicked, and one magnetic Groot bookmark.
- Good Luck!

That vampire just said what? 

Figure out which famous vampire said each quote. Choose from the following: Spike (Buffy), Eric Northman (True Blood), Damon Salvatore (Vampire Diaries), Adrian (Velvet),  or Edward (Twilight)

Quote #1. Gotta hand it to you, Goldilocks. You do have bleeding tragic taste in men. I got a cousin married to a regurgitating Frovalox demon that's got better instincts than you.

Quote #2. You should probably know I'm breaking the rules right now. Well, not technically, since he said I was never to walk through his door again, and I came in the window... But, still, the intent was clear.

Quote #3. Everyone who claims to love you... they all gave up on you. I never did.

Quote #4. I feel a little used, I thought we were having a moment. Now I`ll have to go to the party angry, who knows what I`ll do.

Quote #5. Every instinct I have is telling me to use polysyllabic words to impress you.
