I feel bad that I can't give the exact book you may want for everyone, so on a 1st come 1st served basis, send me your address and top 2 choices to either my email(bbricke AT yahoo DOT com) or twitter.com/bbricke and I will get them out asap.

I want everyone to receive something so if the book you want is gone by the time I get your email, I'll send you an email and we will see what we can work out.

Edited to add: Everyone needs to get in touch with me ASAP, so I can get your prizes taken care of. You have 5 days from the date this is posted to get in touch with me. Any prizes not claimed will be put aside for future contests.

End Of Year Celebration- Donations Welcome



I have enjoyed being a part of the blogging community and decided that I want to have an
END OF YEAR CELEBRATION. It will end around mid December, but it is not necessarily a Christmas party. You do not have to be religious to be part of this. It just my way of saying THANKS to this wonderful community that has embraced me with open arms. Although I am not able to mail to foreign countries, with wonderful sites like The Book Depository I can probably work out a little something for non USA winners. I am not making any promises but I want to make this as big a celebration as I can.

Any and all donations that you can make to help with this celebration would be greatly appreciated...
Would love swag as well( can never have enough swag) I am trying to have lots of winners here so lets see where we can take this.
I'll do a post later this week after I decide on the specifics of how winners will be picked. Suggestions are also welcome, so comment away.

In my opening post on the 1st October I mentioned an extra surprise giveaway. This was in the form of a scavenger hunt. All you had to do was keep a look out for letters in some of my posts that were enlarged and highlighted (bold). These letters would eventually make up a Halloween theme word. If you know this word then let me know by leaving a comment. I will then pick a winner.

The official Book Club of TeensReadToo.com. Featuring author spotlights, interviews, Q&A, giveaways, and much, much more!



It’s finally happening! Coming January 1, 2010, the TRT Book Club will be unveiled in all its glory at http://trtbookclub.blogspot/. com/.



For the first time in our nearly four years of operation, TRT will be hosting guest bloggers on a regular basis! In case you’re not as excited as we seem to be, let me tell you exactly what that means for you.



1) Free press! Get your book(s) out there to the public, all at no cost to you!

2) The opportunity to answer in-depth questions from your fans!

3) A chance to connect with old and new readers!

4) Show off – have fun – take a break!

5) The best part – It’s Totally Free!



Although we’re posting now on the blog, we’re also in the process of advertising to our nearly 400,000 monthly site visitors about this new, exciting project. We want to have a ton of followers before the authors begin visiting!



We’re booking now for 2010. Spots will be reserved on a first-come/first- served basis, so please include two or three dates of your choice. Reminders will be sent out one week prior to your guest date.



Remember, this is all absolutely free! Although it will not be a requirement to give away a prize during your special day, we ask that you think about offering up something (book, bookmarks, book plate, key chain, etc.) to excite readers even more about your visit. We will also do promotions through our monthly newsletter, on the TRT website, and through the blog’s calendar of events.



This is really exciting news for us, and we’re looking forward to sharing it with you! Please contact us today to book your spot for 2010 – we can’t wait to get started!
