An Announcement and a Giveaway

I feel like such a big girl now. I've made two switches that are blog related. First, I'm now running with Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, and I love it! Second, and this is the big news, I am now self-hosting. Apparently everything should transfer over easily with no real hardship for me or you. The new addy is:

And now for the Give-A-Way

I promised some prizes for participating in my Unlock Worlds challenge, a year long challenge to read banned books. For every banned book you review and post a link for, you are entered into a drawing to receive a freebie of some sort. For the first month, the following have received entries -

Gavin of Page247 (1)
Louise of Lou's Pages (1)
Melissa of Betty and Boo Chronicles (1)
Stacy of Stacy's Books (3)
Mee of Books of Mee (3)
Cara of Ooh...Books (1)

On October 16, in the morning I will randomly draw from these and any other entries made between now and then. The winner will get to choose one of the following books:








Or if those books aren't to your liking, you can choose to receive a collection of five bookmarks drawn from the following ALA Banned Books bookmarks:




If you haven't yet, check out the challenge, and if you have reviewed some banned books, be sure to post your links as soon as possible!
