ABF Giveaway #4: Are you an underdog?

Guess what time it is?? It's time for another autumn celebratory giveaway! :)

Mimi Valentine

Background Info on the Underdog: About two weeks ago, I won my first book giveaway EVER and I literally squealed when it came in the mail! (It was All These Things I've Done by Gabrielle Zevin  — thanks times a million to Macmillan and Jennifer @ Book Den!) And recently, I've won a few more which (happily!) broke my unlucky streak.

But then I thought, What about those people who haven't won anything before? 

AND THUS THE UNDERDOG GIVEAWAY WAS BORN!

This is a giveaway for people who've never won a book giveaway in the past! You can still enter if you HAVE won a book; I'm just giving 5 extra entries to those who haven't! :)

(And the restriction is only if you've won a book giveaway before — if you've won anything else, like a teddy bear or a trip to Paris, then you still qualify for 5 extra brownie points!)

Giveaway #4








The Rules:
  1. There will be one winner. 
  2. Giveaway ends on December 21, 2011 @ 11:59 p.m.
  3. Be a GFC follower (which, by default, makes you awesome). 
  4. Be 13 or older.
  5. Live anywhere that The Book Depository ships to (which is basically everywhere!)
  6. You get 5 extra entries if you've never won a book giveaway before! :) 
  7. Fill out the form.
The Prize: Any TWO books of your choice with a limit of $40 (USD)!

Fill out the form below:



Have an awesome day, you guys! ♥ 

-Mimi

P.S. Giveaway #5 will be posted sometime next week! Anyone have any ideas? You don't have to give me one, but suggestions are SO appreciated! :)

    LOVE IT! Awesome idea Mimi! I never won anything for the longest time, and then all of a sudden a won a couple in a row and it was so exciting a did a series of embarrassing happy dances:) So glad you're giving others the opportunity to have a similar experience. Although maybe they won't embarrass themselves dancing:)

    I'm having a giveaway over at my blog too! Check it out! -- Hope you're having a fabulous week so far!

    How about a "mystery giveaway" where everyone tells you 3 (?) titles they'd love to win and then you send the winner one of them, only they don't know which one until the book arrives =D Sound good?
