I LOVE books and have a big collection, on shelves and in my nook. The books in the pic are my newest additions and I won them when Meghan had a giveaway on her blog a few weeks ago.
I became a fan after finding a free ebook of Dowser book #1, Cupcakes, Trinkets, and other Deadly Magic, at Barnes and Noble on a Free-Book Friday list. It was exactly the type of book I'm enjoying reading right now. I liked it so much I went in search of her website, made by meghan , found her facebook page , and then added her to fav authors on my goodreads list.
On her website I found recipes for many of the cupcakes she features in the Dowser books and that's how I found out about the giveaways she was holding. I missed entering the first one but was in time for the second. When I learned I won the 5 books plus an ebook of her newest Dowser #5 I was beyond elated. Let's just say I was happy I was home alone with a only the cat and dog to see me jumping around. Winning is not something I'm familiar with so I went way excited.
So anyway, Sunday was spent reading book #2, painting my nails (Flower by Drew Barrymore, color Go With the Flow-er), and doing laundry with Ion TV's James Bond Marathon playing in the background. By 1am I finished book 2 and had to start 3. Love this series!
In case you're wondering some of the things in the pic are the 5 books and 3 stickers I won; my fav drink, a chocolate vanilla iced coffee; charm bracelets I collect and wear joined together as a necklace (there's a tiny wedding ring set on 1!); and the hand is mine.
One last thing, I sent her a thank you card with 2 gifts, a tatted ring and bracelet. Just because I won something for free doesn't mean I won't show my gratitude. I mean really, it was the least I could do was to send a thank you gift when she shipped the box all the way from British Columbia.
