Are these recent giveaways also helping me avoid death by book avalanche, hence not so very selfless of me after all? Absolutely!
Did I stay up late last night watching "Tori & Dean" episodes instead of coming up with a post of actual (if questionable) substance for you, thus also inspiring this giveaway? Possibly!
Do I actually think that the lady bloggers amongst you will adore this book like I did? Yes!
Darlings, I'm so happy to be passing along my copy of the autobiographical "Pretty in Plaid", written by blogger turned bestselling author Jen Lancaster, to one wildly fortunate reader. Loath as I am to feature anyone here infinitely more talented than I'll ever hope to be - except for all of you, dear readers - the secret has long been out about the snarkstress Jen anyways. If you don't know her, please go do yourself a favor and buy this, this, or that immediately, and then enter my drawing as follows:
Rule #1: For one entry, leave me a comment to this post by this Sunday, May 31st at 10 PM CST
Rule #2: For two entries:
a) Follow this blog using the "follower" thingy to the right; - or -
b) Post sweet nothings about how intriguing & wonderful I am elsewhere, whether on Twitter, your blog, or skywriting across Austin or whatever.
For your second entry, please note in the comments if you are a follower or have in fact hired a skywriting / sweet nothings plane. Because I am nothing if not exceptionally lazy* and am likely to miss it if you don't mention it.
*But good looking, not to mention modest - nice how the universe balances things out, isn't it?
Rule #3: Unfortunately, I have to limit entrants to US residents. This isn't some sinister government conspiracy, but rather just a reality of These Difficult Times and the exorbitant postal rates that come with it.
I will draw one winner at random & announce results on Monday, June 1st. Best of luck!

Oh, I've read all of them so far, except this one..pick me..pick me.
BTW, congrats on 200 posts.
Oh! I'm in, I've been dying to read her books but been so busy with school and end up feeling guilty if I read for pleasure...BUT I just finished this week though!
so pick me pick me!
And I'm a follower too :)
I'm definitely in! I'm dying to read this book! :)
I just finished the book so no need to enter me in the contest, but I did develop a little crush on you for admitting you watch Tori & Dean. I have to say that I kinda want to be Tori Spelling's friend. I think we'd have fun drinks, I'd stretch out all her clothes, wear her jewelry like I was Mr. T., and laugh at her husband's accent.
Enter me please!

I would have entered sooner, but I was compelled to locate a nice cute pair of green argyle socks after checking out the cover. Of course the ones I found were not nearly appealing enough to order so I continued my search. About a half hour later and after ordering several VERY rockin socks, I realized..."hey, I need to go back and enter for a chance to win Pretty in Plaid" before I forget or have to explain to my husband why I spent close to 80 dollars on socks!" So here I am. Ummmm yeah, anyway, could you enter me? I would be pretty stoked at this point. Thanks!

I am following you. Now you've done it. :) PS Finding a sky writer at this our in Arizona is pretty darn hard. What do you think about a cluster of mylar balloons floating aimlessly yet somehow directly toward Texas in a fluttery, glittery homage to I Pick Pretty? I am totally convinced I can pull that off. :) Thanks again for the giveaway.
