My photo
Hello, my name is Kelly and I welcome you to the Bookend Diaries book blog. I created this blog to share my own reviews of existing and new books, to discuss with other readers what we’re currently reading, update you on my book club picks, and of course, to ultimately support the work of the authors we all enjoy. I am addicted to reading and I thought this would be a great way to reach out to other readers who are as obsessed with books as I am.

My Giveaway:

This is a giveaway for a wonderful gift package. It includes the debut novel, “The Lotus Eaters” by Tatjana Soli, a package of Geneva cookies, a box of Blueberry and Pomegranate tea, and lastly a bookmark. The best news of all is that you will have two chances to win, since I am giving this gift package away to two lucky winners.

Here's how to enter:

All you have to do is become a follower of my book blog and leave a comment in the comment section on what you are currently reading, along with your e-mail address. How easy is that?

Competition ends on May 13, and the winners will be announced on this blog. Good luck to everyone!

    thanks,

  22. I'm hopping on by to check out your blog again - I am an old follower!

    Please feel free to check out my blog, too...I've only been blogging for a month and am slowly building up my followers...once I get 50 followers on Google Friend Connect I plan on having a celebratory book giveaway contest!

    I'd also like to enter your giveaway contest, and the book I am rading right now is Dark to Mortal Eyes by Eric Wilson (http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Mortal-Eyes-Eric-Wilson/dp/B00394DJ70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273285071&sr=1-1), which is somewhat of a departure from my usual reading genres and a bit strange so far, but in a good way!
