(Way more than) 500 followers giveaway!

The Giveaway is now closed to entries! I'll post the winner on my post on Tuesday. Thanks for entering!

My sister got married on Friday and I had to do A LOT of work last week (it was a DIY reception) and I have to be out of my apartment by Wednesday so I'm moving my stuff into storage because I don't yet know where I'm going to live after this!

My beautiful baby sister with her new husband.

So...  I hope y'all forgive me for sort of phoning this post in today... but I know you will because I'm doing a giveaway!! I mentioned in the comments of my last post that I would be doing a giveaway once we reached 500 followers and (once again) we blew that goal out of the water!

First I want to say thank you to all of our lovely followers who read our blog and are joining us on this journey towards publication! We really do appreciate you reading and we <3 <3 <3 all the comments y'all leave for us!

I'm sure you want to know... what can you win? A SIGNED copy of City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare! 

 
How to enter? Since I'm so busy, I'm going to make this easy on both of us.
  1. First, since this is a celebration of our followers you must be a follower to enter. 
  2. Second, all you must do is leave a comment on this post by midnight EST on Sunday July 24th, telling me what your single most favorite (Yes, you must narrow it down to ONE!) writing/reading/book-related website/blog/forum/twitter is! (Besides, YAtopia, of course! ;)) Include a link to the site.
  3. Don't forget to leave your email address so that I can contact you if you win!
  4. Winners will be chosen by random.org
