Finally, things are really starting to move!
The Long and the Short of It is almost ready to launch! If you haven't visited over there, why not? And... go... but then come right back. You don't want to miss the big news. You see,
Judy and I have been working diligently and now we feel like celebrating.
Not only will the new website have the reviews you all love, we will have a whole lot more. The website goes
live on Monday, August 27th with a super Grand Opening Party (have I mentioned we'll have lots of great prizes?). And... we want to give YOU a chance to get in on the fun early, so we are having a pre-Grand Opening contest.
Contest? You know how I LOVE contests! Well, this is a MONSTER giveaway and I'm having more fun than usual!
There are THREE ways you can enter this wondrous contest:
1. Some of our reviewers are promoting this contest on their blogs. Head over to
The Long and the Short of It, the blog and click on their names. If you leave a comment on their sticky note announcing the contest, you'll be entered. Only enter one time please, per reviewer, but you CAN visit more than one reviewer. Oh... and don't forget me and
Judy.
ALSO: Please don't forget -- we need a way to contact you if you win. Anonymous posts, posts with no blogger profiles or posts without email addresses will have to be disqualified.2. You can share the good news about the contest on your
own blog. Simply link to us in your blog entry then fill out the Mr. Linky
here. Please use the url to the actual blog entry, so we can find it easily.
3. You can sign up for our newsletter
here.
And, that's it.
What? I haven't told you the prize yet? How can I forget the most important thing???
We're a book site, right? What else would we be giving away but... books? We will be sending to one lucky reader in the USA or Canada this gorgeous tote bag
plumb stuffed with books (new, gently used, or ARCs), along with some wonderful sweet smellin' bath goodies so you can lay back in the tub and relax while you read all your new books. Our international readers are encouraged to enter the contest as well, however due to postage cost restraints, the winner will be sent a $30 Amazon gift certificate.
So... you know the prize, you know the rules... go and tell everyone. And... remind them to check out
The Long and the Short of It on Monday, August 27, for our Grand Opening Bash... and to find out the winner of the contest.
This pre-Grand Opening Contest ends at noon, Eastern Time, Sunday, August 26, 2007.
