Winners!
Posted By Kristabella on December 29, 2008
This week between Christmas and New Year’s should be a National Holiday week. I mean, regardless of your religion and what holiday you celebrate, this is a dead week. Most people are on holiday. Things are slow everywhere. Especially on television, where there are no new shows. Thank God for trashy reality television. There is no hiatus in the Land of Dramaz.
It’s also pretty slow in the blog world. Most people are on vacation or taking a needed break from blogging and spending time with their family. I mean, sometimes that laptop attached to your hip and Twittering from the bathroom can totally get tiring. Sometimes we all need a break.
While I am working this week (every day but Thursday), I am mentally on vacation when it comes to blogging. My creative juices, they are frozen like the snow that held my car hostage for four days. Well, either that or my brain has melted into liquid from all the said trashy reality shows. Nothing a bottle, or seven, of wine can’t fix, right?
So in lieu of a real post, I figured I would announce the winners for the books I have to give away! Because it is the giving season.
The first book I have to giveaway is the one I reviewed. It’s called You Lost Him At Hello. I was quite shocked there were not a lot of takers for a free book. I mean, did my review sway you in any way? Because in case I didn’t make it clear, I HATED that book. I tried to be nice and not call out the author for being a groupie and a game player. And in exchange, I think I sold a little piece of my soul.
So, the winner of that book is Stef! Because she actually wanted it! And she said my bangs were cute! So Stef, email your mailing address to me at fullofsnark at gmail dot com and I’ll get that in the mail for you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next contest was for Eileen Cook’s new book, What Would Emma Do? I will tell you that I finished the book this weekend and it was good! It was filled will all kinds of teen angst and drama! And it was funny! I hope you all enjoy it!
I would like to say I did this randomly, but I am a sucker for compliments! So I chose who I wanted to. Also, I would hope if you read the book and like it and you have a blog, you’ll spread the word for my friend, the author, Eileen Cook.
Winner the first – Casey! Because she’s a friend of my friends Betsey and Hoddy. And I like to be welcoming to new readers. And I would like her to come back again and again. And also, she’s a school librarian and can spread the word to all sorts of young adults about the book!
Winner the second – R! Because R just had a baby and I’m sure she has loads of time to read! I mean, really, how hard can parenting be? Also, her baby B is just the cutest! And has the most adorable nose!
So if you’re one of the winners, please email me with your mailing address (fullofsnark at gmail dot com) and I’ll get those books out to all of you. Congrats!
About the author

Melissas last blog post..Would You Rather…
I really kind of hated You Lost Him At Hello also. But I felt so bad giving a negative review, especially since I didn’t technically get through the whole thing!I figured, hey, maybe it gets better?
Dutchess of Kickballs last blog post..The Christmas Spirit
Damned!!!! Lost again….so where did I go wrong??? Was my kissing up too much, perhaps???
LOL.
Sheris last blog post..I Wanna Go to Disney World NOW!!!
Woo hoo! I actually do have time to read because what else can I do when I am sitting there and the baby is eating? Well, I can watch Gilmore Girls, but reading is fun too!
-R-s last blog post..Get Over It
Sweet! I have already re-named this book: “What To Do To Land A Man If You Have No Personality To Keep Him Interested” – and I will do exactly the opposite of whatever it tells me to do.
stefs last blog post..new year, new job, new…life?
I would say that I’m on holiday, but that would tend to imply that I’m having fun. Which I’m not.
But at least we’re not having blizzards and t-storms back to back anymore – woot, woot! 🙂
Giggle Pixies last blog post..The Closest I’ll Get to Holiday Cheer in 2008
I’m woking all this week too (except Thursday) and am actually kind of glad because it’s super slow giving me time to catch up on blogs! If I were at home, I’d probably be sleeping or zoned out in front of the t.v. 🙂
La Petite Chics last blog post..Christmas Three Ways
“Most people are on Holiday” What, did you just step out of Bridget Jones or something? 🙂 But I agree, this week should totally be a holiday.
I agree, this week should be a holiday week, it’s cruel to bounce between holiday-work-holiday then expect people not to be hung over. And for the record, I think your bangs are cute, but if you even think of sending me that book, well, let’s just say, Bacon might suffer!
