Thanksgiveaway

Despite getting some bad press lately, Thanksgiving embodies the idea of being grateful for what we have and for other people. This November, YALR Blogs wants to spread the joy and show our readers and fellow bloggers how grateful we are for all the support we've received.

We're also collecting donations for Kids Need to Read, sponsoring literacy among all children.

For our big Thanksgiveaway November giveaway you can enter to win one or more of the following prizes:

  1. a signed copy of Clockwork Angel, by Cassandra Clare
  2. a signed copy of Glass, by Ellen Hopkins
  3. a signed copy of Virals, by Kathy Reichs
  4. Fall Goodie Basket (contents to be announced after the contest is over)

You can enter for all of the prizes. You can only win one book, but everyone has a chance to win the Fall Basket, even if they've already won a book. There are several ways to acquire contest entries:

  • leave a comment on this post - this is the one required item to enter to win and constitutes one (1) entry.
  • blog about this contest +3 entries
  • tweet about this contest +2 entries
  • be a blog follower +1 entry
  • be a twitter follower +1 entry
  • make a donation (via YALR) to Kids Need to Read - $5.00, +6 entries; $10.00, +15 entries; $15.00, +20 entries; $25.00, +35 entries (Higher donations can be made and will receive entries based on the amount and entrants will also receive special acknowledgement as well as YALR swag. Higher donations will also be automatically entered into our big December giveaway unless a prize is won in November.)
  • donate gently used books +5 entries per book
If you would like to donate books, you need to include your name, age, address and the name you used to comment on this blog entry (for verification of official entry). Books should be mailed to:
