Contest Info
Personally, I'm not the hugest fan of Halloween. It's not that I dislike but since I've gotten older I guess you could say I've just grown out of it. Maybe if I actually had a half way decent social life with Halloween parties to go to I'd be more excited about it. XD However, I still wanted to do something on my blog to celebrate. Thus the first of three Halloween giveaways.

Prize
~One lucky winner will receive a copy of Contagion by Joanne Dahme thanks to the lovely Nicole with Running Press.

Rules
~While comments are appreciated, you must FILL OUT THE FORM to gain entry into the contest.
~Contest is open to residents of the US and Canada. However, if you don't live in either country but know someone who does and would be willing to accept your prize, you may enter.
~Contest will end at 11:59PM EST on October 30th. Winner will then be announced October 31st, Halloween. Winner will have 48hrs to respond to my email before another winner is chosen.

Extra Entries

CSN Preferred Blogger

I recently had the pleasure of being offered a wonderful opportunity to review for CSN. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, let me enlighten you. CSN is a website with over 200 stores offering a plethora of merchandise. You can buy anything from nightstands, to pet furniture, to bedding, to, and this is my favorite, bookcases! However, despite the fact that I could always use another bookcase, this time I will be reviewing a cutlery set since my mom and I are in dire need of new knives. Maybe you recognize this knife set from the Ronco TV ads. They are supposed to be excellent knives and the price is great.
