News and a Giveaway.

Well, school has pretty much taken up most of my blogging time, if you hadn't already noticed. But thankfully I've got things sorted out and will have a few reviews up in the next few days.

I hope everyone is having a lovely time with school. Of course, if you're not in school, I still hope you're having a lovely time!


Also, in case anyone is interested, check this out.
"Are E-Books Worth the Money?"
I found this article particularly amusing because I'm partial to actual, paper books, rather than e-books. I previously discussed this topic here. I don't believe I support this newer article entirely, though. I think that true readers can make the purchase of an e-reader worth their while. However, it was interesting to be informed of the hidden costs typical buyers overlook.

Last, but not least, a giveaway! A great giveaway, at that. Amber from Down the Rabbit Hole is hosting a 100+ followers giveaway. First and foremost, I wish her many congrats for getting so many followers; it's quite an achievement. And the good news is the giveaway is open both internationally and to the U.S. So stop by and check it out.

Two people in the U.S. could win the following:

Signed City of Glass (HB) by Cassandra Clare
Gamer Girl by Mari Mancusi
Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison

One international person will win a novel of their choice from The Book Depository, worth a maximum of $15.

So be sure to enter, enter, enter!

Giveaways.

I think I'm ready to hop aboard the Giveaway Train; so many of my fellow, wonderful bloggers are hosting amazing giveaways, but until now I've always felt it pointless to throw in an entry. It's hard to feel like you have a fair shot when you don't have a Twitter account, or feel like spamming your blog with posts about such contests, to gain extra entries.

But now I think, Why not?

So although I will not spam my blog with multiple posts about each giveaway I come across, I will make a collective list of them here, on this very post - because we all could use some free books now and again, right?
