Contest C: Grand Finale Saturday
Prize pack details will be released on Thursday, March 6
HOW:
Contest A
On the daily Giveaway Post, leave a comment. Yep, that's all. You can enter once a day, and you can win once a day.
Contest B
Make me happy - become a follower, leave a funny comment, secure a date with Brendan Fraser for me. There's no specific "to-dos" here, because I don't want it to be time-consuming. Do your thing and move on - we've all got other stuff to do, like hugging our kids or eating jellybeans or watching the clouds. This part is totally subjective, and I might choose someone just because they have pretty eyes. Yes, I can do that - it's my freaking blog.
Contest C
Of all the entries of all the days, one person will be chosen for the Grand Finale Saturday pack.
NOTES:
1. Open worldwide, but no one - in the United States or the United Arab Emirates - should expect immediate delivery. I won't be mailing until the end of the week, anyway.
2. Previously-read books are designated with an asterix (*).
3. COMMENTS MADE ON THIS SPECIFIC PERMALINK WILL NOT COUNT toward Contest A: Daily Giveaways, but will count for Contests B & C
I tried to get you a date with bf, but his movie sech. was too hectic. Sorry I tried. plus they told me if i called again I would be arrested.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered int he contest though! contest B!
livingmyhappilyeverafter at yahoo
it does not take much to confuse me so i guess i will just go and have some jelly beans thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeletebrendan's not returning my phone calls... *cry* oh well, his loss.
ReplyDeleteso, who should I call next? =P
I'd love to be entered for B, but I'm not sure if I'll be any good at making you happy. Hmm...I'm a regular reader/lurker and I love your blog? I just don't comment more because I'm a little intimidated by your awesomeness. Also, you have the prettiest header EVER.
ReplyDeleteI just subscribed to your blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any pull with Brendan but my yellow lab would love to come cuddle with you. He loves sleeping in beds, cuddling, and giving slobbery kisses. sorry it is the best i can do, but it works for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome contest!;)
ReplyDeletealwayssomething2read(at)gmail(dot)com
I am interested in A & B!:)
ReplyDeleteOh, what a shame Brendan just kissed me goodbye at the airport and he will be incommunicado until April at least. Maybe next time,hon.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the contest
florida982002[at]yahoo[dot]com
Wow!! What a great contest. I would love to be entered.
ReplyDeleteI know lots of people, but Brendan isn't one of them. I guess I will have to work at that.

this looks great-
ReplyDeleteI am subscribing
hey I have bf tied up in my laundry room..noone else goes in there so I know I can keep him here and have my way with him until you get here to pick him up- or is that considered a date? Well, he may need to rest up after I get thru with him..and the family here does not even wonder why I am in the laundry room so long but yet no clean clothes are coming out..haha!
wow you are super generous!
ReplyDeleteDo you watch gilmore girls? Are you Lorelai Gilmore? You say things she would say! (especially the jellybean thing!)
I went to the Jelly Belly factory once...
Hey!! I'd love a date with BF too!!! He is sooo cute!! Love this contest...thanks!!!

I've posted this on Win A Book. Great contests, btw. No need to enter me in anything.
ReplyDeletePlease count me in. (I'm confused too!) But you wanna date with my hubby....forget it!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow bout I keep working on your date with Brendan and in the mean time I'll just follow you until I get a hold of him (=
ReplyDeletemishtakes AT gmail DOT com
Oh, I've SO been wanting to read this book! Pick me, pick me! *raising hand like I'm in the 1st grade*
ReplyDeleteAs for Brendan Fraser, I'm afraid I can't help you there. I'm still not sure how I roped my husband into marrying me :-P
lcgwriter at gmail.com
Okay, I had to reply to you, L - who cares about marriage? I'd settled for dinner and a decent make-out session.
ReplyDeleteThis is confusing - sorry Brendan is booked through next month. I'll enter contest b though
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and subscriber! So I hope that makes you happy :) And I love the name of this contest since I am confused alot, and I don't even mind it, actually being confused is usually lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteOkay, Brendan Fraser says yes on the condition that I win and let him read my new book first. Oh and I have beautiful eyes. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, the Jelly Belly factory is just a short drive from my house...you, peter (who also lives a short distance away), and I could go to the factory together and dine on free samples...think about it...FREE JELLY BELLIES. Plus, if they are free, I'm pretty sure that means the calories don't count.
ReplyDeleteAh, heck - even Brendan can come too if he wants.
Let's see, I put the kids in bed, I have raspberry chocolates instead of jellybeans and there is no way you're getting my butt outside now - it's single digits out there.
ReplyDeleteHope you have some luck on that Brendan thing. Who knows, maybe he'll Google his name this week and find you!
I'm heading over to subscribe!
Please enter me:) Your post is hilarious. I can already tell that I would like you. So now I am cyber stalking you. Not really, but, I did sign up to be a follower. I don't want to miss any of your new post. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOh yea.. I'll put in a good word for you with Brendan after I am in no longer need of his services.
Brendan Fraser huh? Interesting...
ReplyDeletemadamerkf at aol dot com
wowza! please count me in on this fantabulous giveaway! :)
ReplyDeletekatylinvw(at)yahoo(dot)com
Shouldn't 'pre-read' be 'pre-loved'?
ReplyDeleteOr did you hate 'em all?!
Tell ya what... you hook me up with Mark Harmon and I will do my best to snag Brendan Fraser for you. Okay
ReplyDeletei'm following you, too :) not in a creepy stalker kind of way, but in a cute blog-friend kind of way :)
ReplyDeleteOh puleeze...you're far too good for Brendan Fraser! asthenight at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteYou have, by far, the best contest!!! Plus, it's open worldwide! Woohoo!

That's not confusing at all, great idea for a giveaway! I don't believe I've been to this blog before but I plan to come back. I love the design and the header looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm adding you to Google Reader as we speak!
Brendan has somehow been missing all my calls....what else could he possibly be doing other than sitting by the phone. I will keep trying for you but in the meantime could you please enter me in your great giveaway. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway! -I just signed up for your feed.
ReplyDeleteMy kids aren't here to hug - so I am hugging my jelly beans! (Actually they are Robin's Eggs - gotta have my chocolate!)

This is a great giveaway. Thank you

Would love to be considered.
ReplyDeleteScauvi1@gmail.com
We have linked back to you as a site that is participating in the contests. Please feel free to check out our own! Thanks
Ooh, please enter me for A.
ReplyDeleteOk, I tried to think of something funny/clever/inspirational for B, but am drawing a big flat blank so instead am going to go sneak a break over at my son's daycare (in my office building) just to hear him giggle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway. Brendan doesn't like me and I would rather enjoy chocolate over jelly beans.
ReplyDeletesamsakara@twcny.rr.com
I'm so not inventive enough (or awake enough) to come up with something funny here. So if you look at these comments in consideration for Contest B, please just take pity on me and give me the prize! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! (Hey a little flattery can't hurt, right?) But really, I was being honest, I do love your blog.
I'd like to enter

I'm leaving my mark for wednesday's contest
ReplyDeleterhondastruthers at yahoo dot ca
I made it back, finally! I never know what's going to happen or where I'm going to be with this freakin' dial-up connection! These are very clever contests and I would love to be entered. Please. A, B & C would be great! (Not trying to be selfish here just increasing my odds) So sorry that I don't know Brendan Fraiser but I have a cousin who lives in L.A. and I could have her be on the look out for you. Does that gain me any brownie points?
ReplyDeleteI'm off to eat more jelly beans. I was stuffing my face (really, I was) with Lifesaver jellybeans as I was reading your blog, which is very cool by the way. It must be a sign!
5wrights1@verizon.net
As Mindy said prior:
ReplyDelete"mindy said...
it does not take much to confuse me so i guess i will just go and have some jelly beans thanks for the giveaway."
Which I thought was rather witty. Anyway, this is a great giveaway; not sure about the whole thing, but I do know that I love books and reading.
Ok, here is Brendan's "official" web site:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.brendanfraser.com/
Here's a yummy picture:

In addition, I once saw Sherman Hensley at the Pittsburgh International Airport, so I think that I will run into Brendan and be able to hook you up, K? LOL
By the way, I didn't like the third Mummy movie- be sure and tell him on your first date.
Thanks.

ReplyDeleteI want in on this fun. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused.
ReplyDeleteI tried to hook up a date for you, but B-Man had to wash his hair. But I tried, honest I did. lol
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a new book, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOkay, here is the deal. We will double. I will get Brendan for YOU, if you get Keanu for me. Call me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a fun giveaway!!! I DO have Brendan coming to you in a few wks!!! Have to get him gift wrapped first!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in your giveaway. I love reading.
ReplyDeleteBrendan Fraser, aahh.. just remembering him in George of the Jungle, you know, that whole loin cloth thing! Or how about the rugged archiologist in the mummy....hmmm.... I'm sorry I'm much too busy dreaming about him to stop and try and get you a date. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that whole loin cloth thing is keeping me pretty occupied right now.... (insert "tarzan" yell here!)
ReplyDeleteI will try to set you up with BF right after my date with him....lol Thanks for the giveaways

ReplyDeleteI like jelly beans and books!
ReplyDeleteI would like to be entered in your contest please!
ReplyDeleteBrendan Fraser, eh? My current crush is Liev Schreiber, but it's subject to change at any time.
I love the idea of three different contests. I am afraid I missed all of the contest A ones. Hope I still made it for B and C. Sorry, no date suggestions. Matt Damon would have been a great one for me. Thank you.
