BLOGIVERSARY GOODIE GIVEAWAY...OPEN!!!


I'm just going to reiterate the points made in the vid above in case, you know, I talked too fast or my English accent was too confusing for anyone. So:

The list of goodies to be given away will include,
  • A signed and customised copy of The Swan Kingdom
  • A signed and customised copy of Daughter of the Flames
  • Pretty bookplates, signed by me
  • Chapter One of Shadows on the Moon - the first few pages of this are already on my website, but this will be the full first chapter, which no one but my editor and agent have seen
  • Playlist CD of my writing music
  • Various other goodies
The contest will be open to EVERYONE no matter where in the world you are. And to enter? Well, it couldn't be simpler. Here is the points system (as suggested by the lovely Saya of The Rock Pool):

+ 1 if you post about this giveaway on Facebook or Twitter, Bebo, MySpace, YouTube (etc) and link back here
+ 2 if you post the contest on your own blog and link back
+ 3 if you become a follower of this blog

ETA: it's been brought to my attention that I've neglected to mention how many points you receive if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel. That's an additional +3, and it doesn't even hurt or anything!

Gather as many shiny points as you can! You must comment on this post, tell me what you've done and show your links, my pretties. Don't miss out on the awesome.

This competition is open for ONE WEEK. Entries will be drawn from the hat NEXT SATURDAY.

Well, what are you waiting for? Have at it!

Okay I just wanted to be the first person to comment! Hearing you say 'internetz' (it WAS with a 'z', right?) cracked me up.

I will come back later with a points tally!

Zoë Marriott said...

Yes, it was internetz. I find it amusing (but I edited out my little snigger at the end). Also interwebz - I might say that in my next video...

Thanks for commenting!

+1 I Tweeted- http://twitter.com/Debasmitadhar/status/17086080545
+2 Sidebar link- http://bookaholicsoye.blogspot.com/ (under 'Contests in the right sidebar)

Thank you so much for this lovely contest!! I so so so want to win this one! So madly,badly,truly,desperately want to win!! *begs* :)

Saya said...

I almost want Bookaholic to win more than I want myself. Almost.

I feel like saying, 'Bookaholic, if you can get 10 people to enter saying 'Bookaholic sent me', you get another ten entries'. That isn't a hint, btw, Zoe! It's fangirl sympathy.

The life of a fangirl is hard.

You should have kept the snigger!

Zoë Marriott said...

No need to beg: six shiny entries are already in the hat, Bookaholic! You've got as many chances as anyone can possibly have.

Zoë Marriott said...

I know how she feels, Saya - I'm in the same position on the AngelFire competition myself right now!

Bookaholic: if you can manage to do what Saya says....I will *think of something* (she says mysteriously). Okay? But you don't have to, like I said, you already have six entries.

Saya said...

AngelFire competition? Do I want to know about this?

I've got so much fangirling excitement right now that I might DIE - so many books, so little time! (ARTEMIS FOWL SOON)

Sorry, comment-hogging, I'll stop now. You're in our Links sidebar, too, now! I really enjoyed yesterday's post.

kehs said...

I don't have a blog but have posted 2 links on seperate threads of http://www.thereadinggrouponline.co.uk/forum/index.php. I also linked to you on my facebook profile - but don't know how to post the link. I'm so dumb when it comes to stuff like this. Oh, and I've long been a follower of your website and now of your blog too.

Do I have enough points . . . please!

http://www.thereadinggrouponline.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=85542#post85542

Zoë Marriott said...

Yes, Saya - if you go back a couple of posts there's a link to it. It's under JUST A MINI-POST.

Zoë Marriott said...

Hi Kehs - I think that counts as maximum points, yes! No worries.

Rob said...

Hey there.

I subscribed (+3 did you say?), am now following your blog (+3) and posted the competition details on myspace which has over 1400 friends (+1).

P.S a couple of entries too late, but I vote your red hat. It's so "Great-Gatsby-ish" :D

Zoë Marriott said...

Darlyn, Anne and Ryuuoh-Elf - entries counted!

I'm definitely leaning toward the red hat. The only problem is that it's the smallest one, and at this rate there won't be enough room for all the entries. Le Gasp!
