Epic Contest Round 1


Ok so I can't help but notice that I have WAY too many copies of a certain few books on my shelves. So I thought to myself Hayley why not give them away to your faithful followers haha.

 Ok guys so here's how this is gonna work, right now I have 21 books to give away and I will give at least one away each round.  How long are the rounds you ask- well they are two weeks and each round I will give you a fun question to answer (nothing hard or strenuous I promise). So the first round begins tonight Friday, April 8th (not the 13th as stated in a previous post- I need to get an agenda right haha) and will go until Thursday April 21st midnight, where I will draw a winner (or maybe two, you won't know until I've drawn them) The first winner(s) will be announced on my blog on Friday, April 22nd after 12pm, as well, that is when round two will begin and so on until I run out of books.

You pick what book you want me to send you out of the fun list below:

Dead Is a State of Mind by Marlene Perez (x2)

  2. I would love to read Maze Runner. I'll lure McCoy away using a someone dressed in a bone costume. If that didn't work, I'll cover the person meat products! No dog could ignore such a buffet!

  3. Well since I don't have any of Marlene Perez's books, but want them I'll take Dead is the New Black!

    And McCoy would be easy, I'll just rub bacon grease all over me...but then he might really try to eat me, lol.

    I tweeted and I follow (@takingitonebookatatime)

  4. Hmmm, I think I'll have a copy of Dead is the New Black, by Marlene Cobb.

    As for McCoy? Well I'd tell him that there was a cat in the kitchen eating his favorite treats. I might even put a recorder in the kitchen with cat crunching dog treat sounds to convince him. When he raced away to protect is interests, with a easy eye and fast fingers I'd quickly grab my favorite from the stack. Then I'd run fast before he realized he'd been conned.

    Have followed and also retweeted the original post from @takingitonebook from @carolholaday. Thanks @takingitonebook for the head's up!

  5. I'd LOVE a copy of Dead is the New Black! :)

    Hm. How would I... OH I KNOW!

    McCoy will be watching for me, right? Well, I'll just get a cardboard copy of myself and put it somewhere. I'll spritz it with some bacon scented perfume(They make this: http://chao-dian.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/bacon-perfume.jpg) for good measure.
    While he run after and probably attacks the cutout, I'll run for the book. He'd probably realize that he'd been had pretty quickly(he looks smart), so I'd run to the nearest window, call for my pet unicorn Jim(http://bit.ly/e662U5). I'd land on his back and we'd haul butt, loot in hand.

    +1: I follow you on twitter.
