Bookfessions

I have extended the contest until August 15. Winners will be announced August 31.

Prizes are:

First, second, and third place winners will each receive a gift card AS WELL AS miscellaneous goodies including: prints, notebooks, bookmarks, mugs, tea, etc. Not each place will receive each of the above-mentioned prizes, but there will be a pretty great assortment. There is a wide variety of prizes that will be distributed and I can’t possibly list/photograph it all…but man, I am so giddy about it!

The GIFT CARD amounts are as follows:

First place: $50 gift card to either Barnes & Noble or Amazon
Second place: $30 gift card to either Barnes & Noble or Amazon
Third place: $20 gift card to either Barnes & Noble or Amazon

For all contest details, please click on this link (disregard the dates in the post as they have been replaced with the dates in THIS post. Thank you)

Soooo I was going to make a video and be all cool, but I have been looking and feeling like crap and it would not be fair to expose you all to that. Let me begin by saying THANK YOU for your incredible patience. I have just begun finals for my second semester of law school and things have been rather hectic, so I apologize for being a few days late posting the contest details—but here they are!

************

Rules:

1. Choose a book that has impacted your life in some way. It could be one that you read as a child and still hold dear, or it could be a more recent read that just means a lot to you!

2. Make a video (please try to keep it under 3 minutes) and give a little book report about how this book has changed your life, what it means to you, etc 

3. Post your video here on Tumblr and tag it #bookfessionscontest

4. You have until June 15, 2013 and you may only enter one submission.

5. I will go through every single mothereffin’ entry and I’ll be looking for (a) enthusiasm, (b) creativity (this is your chance to dress like a character, employ the use of visual aids—WHATEVER!), and (c) just following the instructions. Yes, this is like how they give you 900 points on your SAT just for spelling your name correctly.

6. There will be a first prize, second prize, and third prize. Winners will be announced by June 30. Please have your ask box open so that I may contact you if you are a winner.
Winners will have until July 5 to reply with their address. If the first place winner does not reply, the second place will get bumped up to first, and the third will get bumped up to second and a new third place winner will be selected (and so on and so forth until I have all three winners!).

I will announce the prizes later this month since I pretty much want to give EVERYTHING away…I’ll have to do some editing ;) 

So go forth, booksluts, and make some magic!!

^^^special note: you do NOT have to be following this blog to enter. This is not a contest where “likes” and “reblogs” count for diddlysquat. Just saying…

EDIT: I will ship anywhere that the winners are located! Do not let the fact that you live far away keep you from entering. Good luck, everyone!

So, some rather exciting news—Bookfessions is now working in collaboration with Wonderly. What is Wonderly? Here is a blurb from their website:

“Wonderly is about you, and other girls just like you. While video is our common ground, you and we are so much more. We’re talking about putting pen to paper, making music, cooking, drawing, painting, dreaming, and doing. Whatever you’re creating or even just admiring, this is where we celebrate it and maybe even fangirl over it with you.”

I like concepts like this, so let’s give this a shot! Basically, I’ll be posting one or two videos from one of Wonderly’s booktubers once a week or every other week. They WILL be book-related (reviews, discussions, blah blah, WHATEVER IS AWESOME!) and feel free to let me know what you think :)

Love you all!!!!! xoxo

So I have decided to do a giveaway/contest type thing with some swell prizes (which I’ll let you know about at a later date). The thing is, I don’t want to do a boring old “reblog/like” format because let’s face it, reblogging a contest just to be entered is laaaaame. SO, here is where you come in, oh lovely followers :)

Email me with a contest idea at bookfessions@gmail.com with the subject line “Contest Idea” by the end of April. I’ll look through them all (I pinky promise) and announce on May 1 the details of the contest. 

Thank you in advance, booksluts!!
