Choose Your Genre Contest


CONTEST IS CLOSED.

For the past month I've been planning and arranging this big giveaway and finally it's here! *insert applause* Sometimes people are picky about what genres to read/not read so I made it easier for you all...a "Choose Your Genre Contest"! Here I have 4 separate prize packs for 4 different winners; each genre pack consists of young adult books (all but one were published this year) and swag that fits that category.

Unfortunately, because of my last huge contest, my wallet is practically empty so this one won't be international; it's for the USA only. You also must be a follower (new or old) of my blog to enter... because I just feel like it. And this giveaway will be open until August 22. I'll post the 4 winners a day or two after.

To enter, just fill out this form!

You can get extra entries by tweeting, linking, and spreading the word about it. Also by leaving a comment on this post about something funny! A joke, a short story, link to a video, picture, or blog post, something that happened to you today - I don't care, just something that made you laugh or smile.

On the form it will ask which genre packs you want to be entered for. Feel free to enter for all four of them, however you can only win one. If someone's name appears twice on the random generator, I'll simply pick another winner.

Alright enough chit-chat; I bet you're wondering, "Ashley, just show me the prizes already!!" Well here's what you can win! :) Many thanks to the authors and publishers that contributed, too.










So to enter just fill out this form.
Good luck everybody and please spread the word. Thanks for following!

CONTEST IS CLOSED.

  4. something funny that happened to me today:
    Yesterday I lost one of my rings and was panicking because it was one of my favorite rings that I wear all. the. time. My friend came over and mentioned something about her having a knack for finding things people spend ages looking for. We're sitting in my living room, she leans back against a chair, then looks at me and holds up my ring.
    :) I was the happiest person alive.

  18. Something funny I saw today was my cat when he was getting scratched in a particular spot on his back. He started blinking really fast and sticking his tongue out and moving his head like an animatronic puppet! It was crazy-looking, but my cat's not known for his sanity. ^_^

    Great contest! Thanks!

    My father gave me a really cheap dictionary for my birthday. I couldn't find the words to thank him.

  25. My neighbors have a four year old grandson who is currently staying with them. I have a 150 pound Alaskan Malamute. Lately, their grandson has decided to imitate my dog by scrambling around on all fours and barking. My massive dog is so terrified of an innocent little kid that he won't go outside during the day anymore. Instead, he comes and finds my brother or me and tries to hide under us, whether we're sitting or standing. It's both amusing, irksome and rather pathetic.

  27. I thought this joke was pretty funny!
    The three bears had been having some trouble recently and had ended up in family court. Mama and Papa bear were splitting up, and baby bear had to decide who he was going to live with.

    So, the judge wanted to talk to baby bear to see what he thought about living with either of his parents. When he asked baby bear about living with his father, baby bear said "No, I can't live with Papa bear, he beats me terribly."

    "OK," said the judge, "then you want to live with your mother, right?"

    "No way!" replied baby bear, "She beats me worse than Papa bear does."

    The judge was a bit confused by this, and didn't quite know what to do. "Well, you have to live with someone, so is there any relatives you would like to stay with?" asked the judge.

    "Yes," answered baby bear, "my aunt Bertha bear who lives in Chicago."

    "You're sure she will treat you well and won't beat you?" asked the judge.

    "Oh definitely," said baby bear, "the Chicago Bears don't beat anybody."

    This is the best AutoTune-TheNews video ever. It's from a real newscast of course and the original is funny, too. But this is just genius.
    Of course, it's not funny that the event actually took place, but the way the people talk, yeah it's hilarious.

    My 13 year old niece is retelling a story and she ends her story with, "It was so crazy, it's not even funny" and my 11 year old niece replies, "Haha, now it is."

    That made me laugh so much.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Like Nicole said, I LOVE paranormal covers. However, some of the ideas seem slightly overdone. But I love historical fiction and how you can put an intriguing spin on the same stuff you see in your history textbook. I'm all for the historical fiction!
