Giveaway @ Down The Rabbit Hole
Hey guys! Yours truly is holding a giveaway over at my blog Down The Rabbit Hole.
I reviewed Hold Still and interviewed author Nina LaCour. Come check out what got cut from the original manuscript and what was added, a few of her songs and what she's up to now. Then scroll down and enter to win her novel Hold Still. My contest is going on to Oct. 25 and is international (as look as the book depository ships to you). Hope to see your name on the list!

Help Us!
Hey everyone!
Thanks so much for following us. We are still trying to get this site up and running and have some really exciting posts planned that are coming soon. But we need your help.
In order to make this site successful, we need to reach out to as many blogs and people as possible so we can always have the scoop on contests around the web. That's where you come in.
We could really use some advertising. If you get a second and could write up a quick post, just letting your followers know about this site and what we aim to do (which is essentially to hook bloggers up with great giveaways and help the bloggers running those giveaways by giving them some free advertising), it would be really appreciated. If you want us to answer a few questions for that post, please contact either Tina at Book Couture or me (Amber) at Down The Rabbit Hole. Anything you can do to help spread the word would be wonderful and both Tina and I would be so grateful!
Thanks so much,
Amber

To get it, simply type in your email address, and they'll send you the link almost immediately. If you don't see it, check your junk mail folder.

The Book Contest Directory
Image from We Heart It |
The Book Contest Directory (BCD) is a place where book contests all over the blogosphere can be compiled into one neat list that everyone can bookmark and refer to.
In the navigation bar, you'll see that there is a page for International giveaways - these are open to everyone in the world.
There is also a page for US/Canada giveaways - these are ONLY open to residents of the US or Canada.
How to submit a contest
1. First of all, check to see if the contest is already on the lists.
2. If not, submit your contest using this form.
3. Or, send us a list of contests in the comments section below that you might be linking to in your sidebar.
This is the format we post contests in. It would be greatly appreciated if all contest were listed in that format, because then we could directly copy and paste it in.
4. Please follow the BCD for regular updates. It would also be greatly appreciated if you mentioned the Book Contest Directory in any contest-related post on your blog.
5. Your contest will be posted as soon as it is verfied.
How you could help
Become an admin:
Furthermore, I would also like to invite anyone out there to become an admin of the BCD. Drop me an email if you're interested. I will add you as an editor, and what you would have to do is just help update the BCD with new contests that you find. We could also bounce around ideas for the BCD, and be friends. :)
In exchange, your blog could be linked in the sidebar, displayed in the blogroll on the right, or anything else you can think of. It's a voluntary job, and wouldn't require much effort, but would help a lot.
Graphics:
If you're graphics-savvy, help us by racking up a logo or button. That would be lovely!
