500 Follower Celebration!

Wow.

This has to be one of the coolest things, ever. I really can't believe it but I've now reached 500 followers (after only two months of book blogging!) :) And I am so pleased that I get to celebrate this with all 500 of you! ;)

And just like I promised a few weeks ago, I have a pretty nice giveaway for you (if I do say so myself. And I do say so).

There will be FIVE prizes.

Because I'm Canadian, one will be open to Canadian entrants only.

Because I can only afford so much shipping, another will be open to Canada/US entrants only.

But because I love each and every one of you, THREE will be open to International entrants. Two of those prizes will be coming from The Book Depository, so as long as TBD ships to you, it's all good. I'll be mailing the last one myself.

You can enter to win as many of the prize packs as you are eligible for, but you can only win one prize pack.

So without further ado, the prizes are as follows:

Super Awesome Writer's Prize Pack: (International)
Super Awesome Reviewer's Prize Pack: (International)
  • The Book Lover's Journal (this is actually what I use while reading to help me review books)
  • One book of your choice valued up to $10 Canadian from The Book Depository
Super Awesome Canadian Reader's Prize Pack (Canada only)

Super Awesome North American Reader's Prize Pack (US/Canada only)

Super Awesome Worldwide Reader's Prize Pack (International)

The winner's of the last three prize packs will get to choose TWO books from a list of books I will provice them with at the end of the contest. I can promise that the following books will be included on that list, and that more will be added later! Winners will choose books in order of who confirms their prize with me first and provides me with shipping information.

  • ARC copy of Legend by Marie Lu
  • ARC copy of Crossed by Ally Condie
  • ARC of The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory
  • ARC of David by Mary Hoffman
  • Ripple by Mandy Hubbard
  • Eyes in the Mirror by Julia B. Mayer
(Note: I'd kind of like to keep the ARCs of Legend and Crossed separate since they're both pretty highly anticipated upcoming books)

The Fine Print (aka The Rules):
  • You must be at least 13 years old (if you're under 13, your entry will be deleted) with parental permission (unless you're over 18)
  • No P.O. Boxes
  • You must be a follower of this blog through GFC or subscribe via e-mail
  • You will have 48 hours to confirm your prize and send me your mailing information. Winner will be announced on my blog as well as by e-mail (to the winners).
  • Winner are chosen by random.org
  • I am not responsible for items lost in the mail.
  • I have the right to disqualify any entry as I see fit (such as duplicate entries, not completing the form properly, not following the rules, etc.)
Giveaway will end on September 24th. You must be a follower for this one, because it is a follower giveaway. If you're an e-mail subscriber who is not subscribed by GFC but would like to be entered, please e-mail me!

And now, I give you the form to fill out

I have a dream...

I almost feel like a bad blogger because I haven't done any follower giveaways. I've done lots of giveaways- but no big milestone ones. Maybe it's because I don't feel like I've hit anything TOO big.

But now I'm at 350 followers (eeeek!!!) and I can't believe it- and it got me to thinking, how close is that to 500?! Crazy talk!

So I promised on Twitter that I've got a really fantastic giveaway planned out in my  head, which I was going to use for the Back to Books Giveaway Hop but it's just so BIG I figure that I should save it for something BIGGER.

Something like 500 followers big.

I'm not going to say the exact details of it yet; but I'll give you a teaser. There will be many prizes. Special prize "packs" for readers, reviewers, and writers.

And depending on when I reach 500 followers so I can start the giveaway - there may be an ARC or two to give away as well. Most likely from Penguin ;)

So here's what I need YOU to do (that's you, right there, on the other side of the computer screen):

SPREAD THE WORD.

And if you aren't a follower yet, then follow so you can join in on the fun! I love talking about books, discussing books, reading books and reviewing books.. so don't be shy! Get involved, because as much as I do this for myself, I also do it for you! I love feedback of any kind.

Tell all your book loving friends, and then have them tell they're friends. Super easy.

How about a tweet like:
"@EverAfterEsther promised a huge 500 follower giveaway - help us reach that! http://everafteresther.blogspot.com"

And any other way you can think of!
