400 Follower Giveaway!


A lot has happened here recently at I Write, I Read, I Review. There was the absolute craziness of my three Halloween Hop giveaways. The Keeping It Real Reading Challenge is now well underway. I've listed my Christmas Wish List. (Please help me narrow that down!) and I have guest posts, blog tours and NaNoWriMo going on here, too.

In the midst of all that, I happened to glance over at my Google Friend Connect and realize, "Hey! I'm at 400 Followers!" So first up: thank you! That means a lot to me.

Now its time to do something awesome back. :) What, you ask?

1 winner is going to receive a book of their choice, worth up to $15, from The Book Depository.

So, how do you go about having your chance at this fabulous prize?

To Enter:

+1 Leave me a comment with your name and e-mail.

Bonus Entries:

+2 if you are an old follower, +1 for a new follower.

+1 Tweet: I want to win a book of my choice from The Book Depository in @Katallina's 400 Follower Giveaway! http://www.katreads.com/2011/11/400-follower-giveaway.html

+1 When you leave your comment, tell me if there is any way that you feel I can improve my blog.

+1 Add me as a friend on GoodReads. (GoodReads name: Kathy Coleman)

+1 Leave a comment on my Christmas Wish List post. I really need help narrowing that down!

The Rules:

-- One entry per person.

-- Contest is open everywhere that The Book Depository ships to for free.

-- Contest will run from now until Monday, November 21st at 12:00 p.m.

-- Winner will be chosen using random.org


Thanks for dropping by! Good luck!

    +1 The only thing I can think of to improve your blog, would be to maybe have fewer buttons. The more you have, the slower the page loads.

    +1 Improvement: Possibly make the banner look neater and more appealing. Also I think personally you should go for two sidebars so that way your page doesn't keep running with all the widgets.

    For graphic wise, your header/banner is a bit pixelated(blurry)especially the title increasing the resolution should solve it.(Sorry I'm a graphic student) The rest is all good, I enjoy your blog :)

    I like the color of your blog.The only problem i see the text colors. Maybe you can darken the text color hover a bit because i can barely see the texts on the right side.Or maybe you can darken the box color. And maybe the banner also..It looks blurry to me.Maybe it's just me because i have a poor eyesight and i can barely see the textss.

  44. Hi Kathy
    Congrats on reaching the milestone. Next thing u know it'll be 500 followers...then 1000!

    Don't you just love The Book Depository? I live in Asia & used to have so much trouble finding good bks at a good price (the bookshops where I live are hopeless!) until I discovered the book lovers heaven on earth (ie The Book Depository). Hope you like reading historical romance & fantasy; those are my fav genres.

    Improvement - the link text under "What's Happening" is really hard to read on the pale pink background and the busy wallpaper behind it. Maybe make a box with the opaque background like the blog posts.
