200 Followers I heart ♥ You Ce-le-bra-tion!

Hello friends, thank you so much to all of those who joined and followed me, and good old blogger friends who've always been there to support me.  The contest will have to close by Wednesday, 16 February since I have now reached 200.  The winners will be announced on 18 February.  Hugs to you all!

*  *  *

Oooops, is it Valentine's Day today?  If you think this is a Valentine post, you are wrooooonnnggg!!! *snorts*  But since it's Valentine's Day, I thought I'd call this my 200 Followers I heart ♥ You Celebration!

The truth?  I am now getting very close to reaching 200 followers, woot-woot!!!  I am really very pleased to have gained so many friends in blogland.  You all rock!  And I hope you all know you do!

To show you my gratitude and lurve, I am giving away four awesome books.  The first three are all adorable, beautifully-written stories by the most amazing authors.  I love all of them, each has got a unique story to tell.  I would like to pass them on to you and let you experience them too.

The fourth one is a book on writing by a well-respected author and editor.

Drumroll please...

The Sunday Times Bestseller, Welcome to my World by Miranda Dickinson
This is one beautiful love story you wouldn't want to miss!



Another beautiful and funny love story, Head Over Heels by Jill Mansell
How would you handle it if the man who just moved in next door to you is the man you were so in love with years ago?



One of my Jodi Picoult favourites, Keeping Faith.
Find out if Faith is really talking to angels!


and


Becoming a Writer
by Dorothea Brande

To win any of these books, all you have to do is:


Follow me = 1 point
Already a Follower = 1 point


Post on your Facebook Wall = 1 point
Tweet = 1 point
Both = 2 points


Post on you blog - 2 points


After following and earning points, please leave me a comment with your name, e-mail address and link to your blog and points earned and the order of your book choices.  It is important that you send me your e-mail address and blog (URL) address as sometimes Blogger won't let me get to your blog by just clicking on the tiny icons on the 'Followers' list.

My husband will pick the names for me.  For those earning 5 points, your names will be included in the raffle pot for all four books.  If you earn 3 to 4 points, your names will be in the pot for the next three book prizes.  If you earn 2 points and below, your names will be in the raffle pot for the last two book prizes.

This is open internationally.  Please do not worry if you are based outside USA or the UK, your prize will be sent to you by post (mail).

Winners will be picked once I reach 200 Followers!  ♫♬♪happy dance♯♪♭ ☺

I wish I could give books to everybody ☹ I feel awful ☹ having to do a raffle but I hope whoever wins will enjoy these amazing books! ☺

A HUGE thank you to all of you!

Denise Covey said...

Hey Len, this is great and thx for making it international. I love all the books you've offered but I have the Jodi Picoult already if I should be so lucky to have my name drawn.

I'll have 5 points Len as I have time to do all the things - fb, tweet, blog and I've been a follower for awhile.

You're a lovely blogger and I"m sure you'll reach 200 in the twinkle of an eye.

Denise:)

Lola Sharp said...

Wow! How generous. :) CONGRATS on all your followers!

I'm sorry I haven't been here before. *pouts* I try to follow every person back, but sometimes if they don't leave a comment or a bunch come at once, someone slips through the cracks. I feel terrible that you were following me and I hadn't been here. Please accept my apologies.
And I'm here now, #223, here to stay. :)

I wish I knew about this earlier because I would have pimped it on my blog. But I can (and will) go tweet right now.

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello, so I could follow you back here to your lovely blog.
Hugs,

Congratulations Len. I am delighted for you. I missed your contest. I am so sorry about that. The prizes look wonderful. Have been out of it with this flu. Am trying to focus and get myself back on track if only for a shortwhile today. *Clapping and waving* in delight for your milestone.
