I’m so happy with the way things are going. I’m behind, but I promise I’ll read two books this month (not that you care, but making it public may help me to keep up!)… I’ve really enjoyed reading all the reviews that people have been posting, and my TBR list is growing by leaps and bounds.
So… February’s prize pack (remember I said I had to do several so each of my girls could have a turn drawing for them?) has a Native peoples theme (plus some goodies) and a decision for you to make: either Whale Rider, the movie (because it’s one of my favorites) and Whale Rider the book; or The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, your choice. I’m throwing in a box of Girl Scout cookies (because C is selling them; you have a choice between Thin Mints, Thanks-a-lot, and Lemonades because that’s what we’ve ordered) for good measure, and because we’ll have them around the house.
But you just don’t get this for nothing. The catch: You have one week — until Friday, February 8th, to read and comment on one-third of the reviews that have been posted. That’s 11 people (other than yourself). Then come back here, comment that you’ve done it, and I’ll enter you in the drawing on February 9th.
I’ll open this up to anyone who wants to go and comment, even if you haven’t posted a review yet.
Have fun!
I have visited the reviews. 🙂 It was fun and I would have enjoyed doing so even without the added incentive 🙂

Count me in, too. My list of books I want to read is growing much faster than my time to read is.

I had intended to visit all reviews but never found time to. Thanks for giving me the right boost 🙂 I enjoyed reading around. (You are a great challenge host!)

Don’t count me in the drawing.>>I’m going to have to do some investigating and find out who belongs to Girl Scouts in my area. I haven’t ordered cookies in years. I guess they don’t let the girls go door-to-door anymore. 😦

Melissa, I sent you a reply as soon as I received your email. Maybe spam folder? I’ll resend and see if that works.

Hee, hee. I spent all Saturday trying to qualify for the prize package, only to notice today the deadline was Friday. You know what they say, “reading is fundamental”>>It’s OK though, I really enjoyed checking out all of the reviews. I think I’ll keep it up! 🙂>>Thanks for the incentive.

heh, heh, iggystar. Maybe next time I’ll remember to have two Saturdays in the contest so more people can participate. (I was kind of disappointed only four people managed to jump through the metaphorical hoop… will have to think about this!)
