My Blog Turns One! {+ giveaway}



It finally happened! My blog has been around for a whole year! :D

Although I haven't always been the world's best blogger out there, I'm so appreciative of all the support all of you have given me. My old and new readers -- even if you never commented I hope that at least one of my words has moved you in some way. This blog started out as just a way to express my feelings about the books that I read and to keep track. Now, 12 months in, it still serves that purpose -- that and so much more.

In 12 months:

I have posted (and not deleted) 290 posts.
75 of those posts were reviews, of which 13 were given 5 stars.
Hosted a handful of fabulous giveaways
Been featured in several fellow blogs
Gushed about upcoming releases 30 times (Waiting on Wednesday)
Gushed about new arrivals to my shelf 32 times (In My Mailbox)
Disclosed 17 teasers for books I was reading (Teaser Tuesday)
My Goodreads to-read and wishlists have risen to scary amounts
I have met some awesome authors, both online and off!
...

And the list goes on! But you don't really care about all that, so let's get onto what this means for all of you. Blogoversary = Giveaway! Hehe, what an amazing word.



You're all familiar with this logo, right? Well, I figured Hey, I'm an Aussie blogger - no matter how little Aussie books I actually get around to reading - so I'm going to assert my Aussie-ness! So. To support the Aussie Lit love that has been going around lately, I want to give away ONE Aussie title to ONE lucky reader!

I have taken the liberty to decide which titles you will be able to choose from ...
  • To make this easier for me, I've only chosen titles that are also available to buy via TBD (or other internationally shipping e-shops). HOWEVER, if the winner choses to support the Australian economy, and lives in Australia, they can choose another bookshop. ;)
  • All paperbacks.
  • In case of series, only first book's picture is shown below.
  • Cover images may vary from those posted below.




Rules:
  • International, as long as The Book Depository ships to you.
  • Starts on 18/06/11 and ends on 30/06/11
  • Extra entries for GFC followers (+2), Twitter followers (@cc9309, +1) and if you spread the word anywhere (+2). Remember to include links for proof!
  • Fill in the FORM to enter!
