I feel like I've hit a milestone in blogging. For some of you, this may not seem like much, but for me, who hasn't been blogging long, it's huge! I have tried to be faithful to all of you by posting everyday and I feel like I have finally created a habit because I get that done either by posting first thing in the morning, or scheduling my posts ahead of time. Well, it's official, this is my 100th post and I want to celebrate. But, I'm not having a party for myself and buying myself a gift, or asking you to give me gifts. In true book blogger fashion, I'm giving the gifts to you!
Have I mentioned lately that I love Miriam at Hachette Books? She is a wonderful woman who organizes book tours and always has fabulous books for us to review. Well, she has come through once again by graciously offering books for my 100th Post Giveaway. 5, yes I said 5, lucky readers will win books, yes, that's book with an s, as in more than 1. Can you believe it? I told you it was huge!
Here is what you can win:
Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven, Hypocrite in a White Poufy Dress,and Kiss My Tiara by Sarah Jane Gilman
Because this is my 100th post, I want to get at least 100 comments. The 100th commenter will get all of these books plus a hardcover copy of The Forest of Hands and Teeth and an ARC of The Diamond of Darkhold. I ended up with extras, so my surplus is your gain.
The other 4 winners will be chosen randomly on Tue. Mar. 17th at 12:00 PM, CST. That gives you almost a week to enter and get the word out about this fabulous contest!
Now, for the technical stuff. To enter, just leave me a comment. You may earn extra entries by doing the following:
Follow this blog +1 entry (comment that you follow)
Follow me on Twitter and tweet about the contest +2 entries (comment w/your tweet)
Blog about this contest and link back to me +3 entries (comment w/the link)
+1 entry for every $ you donate to Ark Adventure (comment w/amount donated and I will add entries)
For everything you do, please leave a separate comment, unless you donate, then it's just 1 comment for your donation. This contest is open to US and Canadian addresses only; no PO boxes please. The winners will be emailed and posted on Mar. 17 and you will have 2 days to email me your mailing information.
Thank you all for visiting, reading and commenting on my blog. Without you, I would not have reached this milestone, nor would I have so much fun reading and reviewing all my books.
Good luck and have fun!

# Karen HaneyBookinBingohttp://tinyurl.com/alapgw has a great giveaway for her 100th post; and help ark adventure as well3 minutes ago from web
and so copied and pasted how I did it as I don't know how to who do a link to twitter to show you...duh, so techno challenged it is amazing anything I do on my blog or anyone else's ever gets counted...hope this is proof???
I SO want to win SECRETS OF HAPPINESS and so I also blogged about this post at http://bookinwithbingo.blogspot.com/2009/03/write-for-reader-100th-post-giveaway.html#comments
on my BOOKIN' WITH BINGO blog and think that is a way for you to see my link? I told you I am techno challenged, Shel!
And I think this is my last official post to count but I may keep coming back to annoy you if I see it is near 100 (I told you I really want that book). Anyway, Heifer is one of my charities I work for and love you are doing the ARK ADVENTURE. I donated $20.00 and think you just want one comment, not 20, correct? Thanks for all you do for that worthy cause!
Congratulations on your 100th post! :D
