2nd Blogoversary Annnd Maybe A Giveaway Or Something....

2 years ago today, I randomly decided to start a blog dedicated to books.

1 year ago, it was the anniversary of my blog, and I was positive that the year following it would always be the best one ever.

Well, I was wrong. This was the best blogging year ever. I've read so many fantastic books, and talked to so many great people, and heard from such incredible readers and...yeah. I had some ups and downs with it this year, but the good outweighed the bad. And it helps that I'm so close to 1000 followers. (Which is still blowing my mind. Seriously.)

But anyways, I'll just stop boring you with my proclamations of disbelief and gratitude and get to the good stuff: CONTEST STUFF.

The box in question. And my thumb.

So a while ago, I picked up a giant flat rate shipping box from the post office.

I wasn't sure what I'd use it for at the time, but I figured it out now.

Basically, I'm going to fill it with STUFF. Books and swag-type stuff. I'm not entirely sure what books will be available for you to pick from, as I'll be adding books to the pile as I read them.

What you can definitely win now. Click the image to view it larger.

And because it's my blogoversary and I'll do what I want to, you can earn extra entries by doing the following:

--Tweeting about the contest, saying exactly, "I want to win @ShutUpImReading's awesome blogoversary contest!! http://tinyurl.com/6hjc3kh"

--Following my blog through Google Friend Connect.  (Yes, I'm that desperate to get to 1000.)

FILL OUT THIS FORM TO ENTER. This contest is only open to the US. (Sorry, but it'd be really expensive to ship this internationally.)

But do not fear my international...-ites. I've got a second portion of the contest just for you! One of you will get to choose bewteen the following books:

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan

Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma

 Hourglass by Myra McEntire

(Note: if you live in the U.S. and want to enter both contests, you have to fill out both forms.) Be sure The Book Depository ships to you country! Again, you can get extra entries by doing:


--Tweeting about the contest, saying exactly, "I want to win @ShutUpImReading's awesome blogoversary contest!! http://tinyurl.com/6hjc3kh"

--Following my blog through Google Friend Connect.

Both contests will end July 31. FILL OUT THIS FORM TO ENTER.

Good luck to all of you, and thanks for helping me make Shut Up! I'm Reading. what it is today.
