Makeover and a Giveaway!

I got a blog makeover courtesy of Rachel at ParaJunkee's View. She took the elements I wanted and put them together beautifully. Didn't she do a fabulous job?!! Be sure to check out her awesome designs. And let me know what you think of the new look!! 

Feel free to grab my *new* button! If you had my original button on your blog, it should have updated to the new one all by itself :D




The Book Vixen

*The Giveaway has CLOSED*

In celebration of my makeover, I am having a giveaway!! There will be two (2) winners. Each winner will get one book of their choice ($15 maximum) from The Book Depository. This giveaway is open WORLDWIDE, as long as your country is listed HERE. To enter, you must fill out the form. Entries in the comments will NOT be counted and will be deleted.

Fill out this FORM to enter!

There are a couple of ways to get extra entries:
  • +1 for being a blog follower (new or old)
  • +1 for tweeting about this giveaway (psst! There's a *share* button on the bottom of this post that allows you to tweet from here.) 
  • +3 for Parajunkee (because she created the new look) and for Fiction Vixen (because she created the original Book Vixen header and button). I'll put these extra entries in for you ladies :D
Giveaway ends January 31st, 2010. Winners will be randomly selected, emailed and announced here shortly after. Winners will have 72 hours to contact me or a new winner will be selected. Good luck to all who enter!

    I love the new design! I think it's safe to say Parajunkee is a genius. I've seen some of her other designs aswell - she's brilliant!

    Awesome giveaway!! Thank you :)

    Oh.. I was an idiot and wrote one wrong book in after price checking on TBD - I meant to put Firespell instead of Going Bovine, sorry!!
