My Blogoversary (and a Giveaway)

Happy Birthday to me! It's been a year today that I started this blog. I started the blog as an exercise in self-reflection but the book community sucked me in like a forceful whirlpool and I have enjoyed the ride! Blog netiquette would seem to dictate a giveaway and so I'm taking the giveaway plunge now. It really seems a bit silly since I have all of 9 readers - I could easily just mail you each a small sum and a thank you card! But I am a nothing if not a conformist so here comes the giveaway...

I was introduced this year to the world of audio books. I've supported this new addiction by haunting used book stores and the sale rack at Barnes & Noble whenever I have an excuse to drive the hour to the closest one. As I finished each one, I passed it on to my office mate, The Nurse, she listened to them and returned them to me where they have stacked up on my desk at the hospital probably causing the cleaning crew to wonder if I ever actually work. I'm donating most of them to the church bazaar but there are a few that are a little bit racy to donate. Hence the giveaway...

The Gently Used, Slightly Slutty Audio book Collection.

It includes...
Got the Look by James Grippando
The Unquiet by John Connolly
Long Lost by Harlan Coben
Undead and Unreturnable by Mary Janice Davidson
Lifeguard by James Patterson
When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris

If you would like to enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment. I don't know that I'll try to master using "random number generator", but I can put all the names in a hat and pull one out! And now despite the fact that it is my blogging birthday...I have to go to work! Thanks for visiting.
