I'm turning 4 in BC years on May 5th. It may be a while away, but there is good reason for me posting so early!!

On May 5th and for the next 4 days I will announce winners and send them a book (or more) that they choose here. However, I'm going to select the winners before I leave for Europe so that I can bring the books with me and read them on the plane ;)

If you're interested in entering, please go through my TBR/AVL and select any number of books you are interested in. Yes, I said any number!! I will be moving soon and want to try and get rid of as many books as possible!!

Hey Lauren! You lucky girl (::sigh:: everyone is hitting such a big number...)

As for my choices...

TBR:
--Atonement
--Nerd in Shining Armor
--The Eyre Affair
--His Dark Materials Books 1-3 (The Subtle Knife, The Golden Compass and The Amber Spyglass)

thank you so much!

:lol: Great plan! Of course, if *I* win, you might want to send the books early. :idea: Read mine on the outward bound journey and mail them while you're still in Europe. It'll be cheaper! :whistle: :giggle:

You have loads of books, so I'm going to come back and edit this post as I work through your list. But seriously, if you can't be fussed to pay intl postage, don't sweat it - just don't even put my name in the hat! Happy Anniversary and have a great trip to Europe!!

TBRs:
-Beneath the Bleeding (if you're going to the UK, especially Manchester, you *know* you want to read this on the plane! :giggle: )
