My BC Anniversary is coming up next week. I cannot believe all the books I have acquired since becoming a member of this awesome community and I'd like to give back! Starting April 3, I will draw one name a day for a week and send out a book.

To sign up, please post a list of 3-4 books you would like from my AVL/TBR shelf. If you are picked, I will move those up to read or just package and send them on out!

Congrats!
I got your PM today, and am replying now... But I saw this, and wondered if I might be able to get any of these:::

Falling Leaves (The Unwanted Chinese Daughter)

First of all, congrats on your BCversary! I'm just like you. In the three years (come May) I've been in BC and Relay and BO, I've read and acquired more books than I remember doing, even when I was a young girl obsessed with her library. :P

So, to celebrate your anniversary, I'm putting my name down for the draw. It's not like I have too many books, right? :bash: :whistle: :wacko:

Here's my little list.

The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad

PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives by Frank Warren

Thanks so much for holding this, Tanya!

Congratulations on your Bookiversary

I was going to be good and not enter but I couldn't resist taking a look at your bookshelf and then, well, I couldn't resist picking a few.


Promiscuities: The Secret Struggle for Womanhood by Naomi Wolf
The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream by Paulo Coelho

Love Underground: Persephone's Tale: (The Goddesses #1) by Alicia Fields

congrats!!! I really need to find out when MY anniversary is...


The Girl who Played Go (Shan Sa)

that's the only book I would like to put in for :) there are other wishlisted books in your stack, but many of them I can get through other sources. I haven't found 'The Girl Who Played Go' through any of my usual sources...

I used to have it! I sent it through Bookmooch some months ago. It didn't hold my interest, though. I gave up on it half-way through but that was me. :rolleyes:

I've more or less become obsessed with 'Go' not because I like the manga Hikaru no Go! that's a ridiculous assumption! :lol: and I liked Shan Sa's book 'Empress' so I'm hoping to like this one as well

OMG this is so hard.
So many great books.



No Lifeguard on Duty
Babes in Captivity
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
The Chocolate Lovers' Club

I think this is a very good idea.
In December I will celebrate my 5th year on BC not I must remember to do soemthing like this. It is fun to see what people choose.

Thanks Tanya!!!! :hug: It was so much fun to look at your shelf. You also have a great collection of interesting chick lit, plus I added a book to my wish list thanks to you.

About Vegas
Brining Dow The House The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions
(You have book 2 and I never knew this had happened)

Hiya Tanya!

Can you add me for Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay.

I really don't need to be collecting more books what with trying to consolidate stuff to move, but Mike and I love this TV series (we've been watching on Showtime since before it was even edited for network television) and I'd been planning to pick up that book so both he and I could read it sometime. (He's such a slow reader that library isn't always a very good option for him.)

Thanks for your contest hon! :hug:

Congratulations! I would love to enter - Thank you!

I would love any of these:

The Chocolate Lovers' Club by Carole Matthews
Girls' Night Out/Boys' Night in by Chris Manby, Fiona Walker, Jessica Adams

I Want That! : How We All Became Shoppers

Happy Bookcrossing anniversary, Xallroyx! I understand about the vast numbers of books you seem to have acquired -- I feel the same way. I can look over at my bookshelf and know that more than three-quarters of it are books that I got somehow through bookcrossing!

Here is my list:

PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives - Frank Warren
Smoke and Mirrors - Neil Gaiman
Lamb : The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal - Christopher Moore
The Stupidest Angel : A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror - Christopher Moore
Uglies (Uglies Trilogy, Book 1) , Pretties (book 2), and Specials (book 3) - Rodrigo Corral, Scott Westerfeld

I know that's more than 4 books. If it makes you feel any better, they're all on my wishlist! :giggle: It's really hard to cull a list that's entirely of books you really want. If my name gets drawn, I'll leave the hard decisions of picking up to you :wink:

Less than three days to go! I am excited!

Today is the day! The first winner is...

rebeccaljames

I'll be sending Love Bites (Argeneau Vampires, Book 2) by Lynsay Sands!

:pepper:
Congrats, rebeccaljames!

I'd be interested to know how you're enjoying that Lyndsay Sands series. My kid sister had to physically restrain me from buying the first from the grocery store impulse buy rack :lol:

I freaking ADORE that series! They are my FAVORITE vamps. :wub:

they are my ::quickly checks list:: 3rd favorite.

1) LJ Smith 'Nightworld' (oh Ash Redfern I would give you my soul...)
2) Katie MacAlister's 'Dark Ones' series
3) Lynsay Sands' 'Argeneau' series

now if we add in manga/anime into the list they fall to the bottom 5 of my top ten list...

Girl, you need to be in the Paranormal VBB then. The books of that series are always flying through there. :whistle: :wink:

Drawing number two and the winner is...

CheriePie!

I will be reading and sending you Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay.

Yay!! :yahoo: :spin: :party:

Mike is happy too! We both wanted to read this one so getting it from the library, especially since he's a very slow reader, wasn't the best option for us.

But anyway, here I was just having spent the half hour or more updating this list and that all around the site here, doing all those little grunt admin tasks that take up so much time but are hardly ever noticed, and I've got this headache see, and I'm thinking, darn I need a good pat on the back right about now, and then voila, I come into this thread and see that I won. :grin: So it was like perfect timing as I was just right at this time needing that 'atta girl to keep me going! :wink:

Thanks sweetie!! :hugz:

gratz!! :bananacheer:

Oh, BTW, Cherie, you're awesome and we bookobsessors totally appreciate all the work you do here!

I'll join up with that VBB when I actually have more books that I can put into it :lol: I totally should have gotten in on that Paranormal Book Devils Exchange when I had the chance :kicks self again:

And the 3rd winner is...
indygo88!!

You will be receiving A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers!

:bananadance:

Winner number four is...
Marlene!

You will be receiving Babes in Captivity!!

Congrats to all the winners!!
