Friday Finds (5)

July 15, 2010 by Arena Blake 33 Comments

Welcome to Friday Finds at The Nerd’s Wife, where I tell you about some super-awesome contests going on around the blogosphere.
*****
Halo Giveaway by Steph Su Reads
Steph is giving away an ARC of Halo by Alexandra Adornetto, which looks like an *awesome* read!
Contest Ends July 30.
US Only.
Go to her blog to enter.
*****
White Cat Giveaway by The Compulsive Reader
The Compulsive Reader is giving away *five* copies of White Cat by Holly Black and some other swag.
Contest Ends July 23.

Claire de Lune Sequel Title Contest by Christine Johnson

This contest is for book bloggers only.

The title to the sequel of Claire de Lune by Christine Johnson has not yet been released. And Christine is giving a *book blogger* the chance to announce the title.

How cool is that?

Contest Ends July 18.

You can enter the contest at her blog.

*****

July Book Extravaganza by The Nerd’s Wife
And lastly, don’t forget to enter my July Book Extravaganza!
I only need *10* more followers to reach 250 followers and add a *fifth* winner to the mix!
The grand prize winner gets a choice of two books from the list, and everyone else gets one book from the list.
Contest Ends July 31.
Check it out here.
*****
If you’re here from the Book Blogger Hop, welcome!
 Jennifer asked: Right this instant, what book are you dying to get your hands on (past, present, or future)?

Well, as most will probably answer (even Jennifer herself!), I am *dying* to read Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

I haven’t been this excited about a book release since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling.

Can’t wait!

If you become a follower, leave me a comment and I’ll go follow you back!

Same goes for all of my Follow Friday friends — just leave me a comment, letting me know you are a new follower, and I’ll follow you back!
Happy Friday!

    I'm here to find out some new titles! No contests though, or anything. Since you like nerd stuff you might appreciate the memoir kind of book I'm reading now, "Free Sex, Expensive Therapy" by Judith Sageยด. Interesting life, I must say. You'll like that one of the templates she used for her own life and story included "Star Wars" (and "The Wizard of Oz") — using these two stories, she learned not to depend on outside sources for help but to find the source, force and power within. I think that's nifty.

    Hi! I'm actually already a follower so I found this post on my dashboard, not a meme!

    I just wanted to say thanks for the contest list! I've been wanting to read White Cat for a while but my library doesn't have a copy and I'm broke. -_-
