So I'm offering up some of my favorite things to celebrate two hundred (plus) wonderful followers! I posted a few days ago with book reviews of some of the great books I've read lately. I wanted to share, so here's a fun YA book package for you:
That's Paper Towns
by John Green, Devilish
by Maureen Johnson, and Boys, Girls and Other Hazardous Materials
by Rosalind Wiseman.But then I said to myself, "Self, you have some fine followers who don't necessarily read YA. What about them?"
What about them, indeed:
So then there was Get Lucky
by Katherine Center, Land of a Hundred Wonders
by Lesley Kagan, and Larger Than Life
by Adele Parks. To enter, leave a comment below with your preference, YA Box of Awesomeness or Chick Lit Pack of Wonder and Luck (you can just say YA or adult; I'm short on sleep and a bit punchy right now). Points as follows:
+1 for being a new follower (must be a follower to enter);
+2 for being an old follower;
+1 for tweeting this contest;
+2 for a blog sidebar link or blog post;
+1 for sharing one of your favorite things in the comments!
Admin notes: Shipping to the U.S. only, please; open internationally if you're willing to kick in for postage, though. :) Winner will be selected by random number. Aaaand contest ends June 28th; forgot to slip that in this post the first time around.

+1 favorite thing -- the beach with a good book
Total 5. Great contest Guin, just in time for summer. Oh and I'd like the chick lit adult pak if I win. Thanks.
Cool contest! The Chick Lit Pack of Wonder looks awesome. I love reading chick lit because I think of it as research and not, you know, a way to avoid the books on my dissertation reading list.
And as far as my favorite thing goes? That would have to be mocha Frappuccinos, which taste especially good during the summer.
WHEEEE!!!!! I love fun contests!
