Giveaway - "It Sucked and Then I Cried"

At heart, I am a book nerd* with a shopping problem, so I adored a recent book-themed giveaway by Invisible Blog Friend extraordinaire, Mrs. Newlywed. With her permission, I'm importing it for my very own: plucking a book from my very own shelf to give away to one lucky reader. This is the sort of giveaway - well, that and those that keep me in beauty magazines - that I can get excited about. And so I bring you a book obtained in bloggy spirit:
*A cute book nerd, but nonetheless . . .

"It Sucked and Then I Cried" is the book by that famous blogger; the one at whose (very entertaining) reading I met the lovely TUWABVB and accidentally outed myself as an internet friender. In any event, I found this to be a quick, honest, and occasionally hilarious read about pregnancy & post-partum depression. If you enjoy her blog, this is written very much in the same style - in more blog post than book form.

Lovelies, if you care to win my book, as signed by the author** (thanks to TUWABVB's brave line-standing):

1) Please leave me a comment below for one entry;

2) If you want to be entered twice, please follow me using that dreadful Google Friend follower thingy to the right, and let me know that you followed; if you're already a follower, please remind little ol' me in your comment.

3) Entries will remain open until next Monday, May 27th.
**Signed to my name, actually - think of the collector value someday!!

I have various other goodies in my Amazon cart, so if you like this giveaway concept, let me know & look for similar giveaways over the next few weeks. Because I am not at all above bribing you for your reader love. Not one Pretty bit.

I just finished the book this morning, so I don't know if I should technically enter. Can I say I like the blog template instead?

:)

I should get two entries for going all the way back to the freakin' Knot.

TUWABVB said...

No need to enter me - just commenting to admit my suckiness. I haven't even read it yet. :( And, I returned THREE books to the library today that were all unread. Clearly, I suck at books lately.

Just Moi said...

That title made me actually "lol" .. Ha haa!

I can always use a new good book. Mine's a teenager, but I still cry and drink. But on the good side, he can drive me home from the bar now. Please enter me, and yes I do follow!

Delurking to enter your contest. I am ashamed to say that I have lurked (okay that sounded really weird when I first typed it - I actually had to go type "lurk" into spellcheck). Love your blog!

No need to enter me into the contest since I was at the signing as well (I am still sad that I missed you!). I am almost done with the book, very easy read, but still am petrified to squeeze children out of my body. Her husand sounds like a saint and I may have to start reading his blog, too!

LOVES the new layout!
