MBS Blogoversary -- Celebrating Three Years!

Well - I guess you can say I have been super busy since I am even late for my own BLOGOVERSARY PARTY! YIKES! It doesn't really seem like three years but it is... with lots of reviews, giveaways and interviews shared. :-)  And more to come of course!

I didn't get the chance this year to line up sponsors but I have a big Grand Prize to share in celebration.
Because I love reading and I love my e-reader (a Kindle) plus I have Nook on my Tablet, and I want to share the love of ebooks with my blogger followers, I am giving away ....:

A NOOK Simple Touch With GlowLight


Now - some people may already have a reader or a tablet, so I am offering a $50.00 Gift Card as an alternative -- winner's choice.

Also-  I haven't checked the postage cost for various countries, but as long as the postage is under $50.00 I will send the Nook worldwide!

Keep a watch out because I will be posting some other book prizes over the next two weeks.



NOTE - winner will be announced a day or two after the close of the contest and the post will include the Winners Form link to claim the prizes.

  2. Congrats on the milestone and Happy Blogoversary! :)

    In terms of celebrating, I'd suggest going for a girls night out with drinks to toast the occasion while talking and sharing about all things books. :) As for what book I'd like to celebrate with... it's hard to choose just one particular book, but perhaps the one you wrote your first review on for this blog? Or an upcoming anticipated release?

  3. It would be great if we could ( the followers) gathers all together to celebrate with you , a barbecue party or something ( depending on the weather because here it's rainingç_ç)and we could all thank you for the book you made us read or the meeting you created ( in 3years that's possible^^;;)

    It could be great also to make a giant swap each of us offering/echanging a book of our favorite with another. i would choose one Patricia Briggs ^^ i love the hob bargain and Mercy thompson

    I know it's dreams because a lot are international but still it would be a wonderful experience

  9. Congrats on your blogoversary, and wow, what a great giveaway! I'm planning to celebrate with you by reading/rereading some of the excellent posts on your blog, such as your Bossypants review from January. So happy that I won this book from you a couple of months ago - still need to read it, but it seems like an excellent celebration book, doesn't it?

  13. Happy Blogoversary Birthday! I just finished a wonderful book I would love to share LOVE FINDS YOU IN MACKINAC ISLAND, MICHIGAN BY MELANIE DOBSON. I was in awe of this island and it's history. My dream vacation would be on this island and you should be there. The do not allow automobiles on this island. I can't imaging actually being in a place with no automobiles.

    Hugs,
    Patricia

  14. I would celebrate by magically whisking all of your followers to your favorite location (TBD) for a big celebration party! Complete with all your favorites. Drinks, foods, decorations, books, books and more books to pass out to everyone! I did say magic would be involved right? Everything would be surprises and spontaneous!

    That would really be because that is how I am...I don't know what I want to read next till I just pick it. So surprise me.

    P.S. Amazon GC is always good in a pinch.

    Thanks so much and congrats on three years! Wishin you many, many more!

  21. I love your site! Happy blogoversary. Yours is one of the first book blogs I began following. Lots of fun. I love to read "light and fluffy feel good books". One of my favorites is The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler. I also love post apocalyptic books too. Such a contrast. Once I finish a post apocalyptic, then I reach for a light and fluffy. 77 Days in September was a good one.

  39. Hi Martha! Happy Blog Anniversary. Thank you for sharing your love of reading with us. I like finding new authors and books and your blog is a great place to find this. Even for books that have been long-released but are a great find!

    I would celebrate by making a virtual collage of important or special events on your blog. Posts about your favorite reads, snapshots of your shelves over the years and the best thing you like about blogging! That would be fun.

    Of course you can't celebrate a book blog's blogging success without books...I know I would want to have Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness around :)

    Have another fantastic year blogging and reading!

  40. Happy Blogoversary Martha. Wishing you many more to come. Your reviews, giveaways and posts are always informative, helpful and entertaining.I think the best celebrations are where you and your followers come together and toast your three years with bubbly champagne and pastries. We'd all bring a book so we could have a book swap.

  43. Happy Blogoversary! Wow 3 years. I love your blog first off. Ummm to celebrate I think I would like to go out to eat at a sit down nice restaurant because I don't get to do that very often. As far as books go I am not up on all the current books yet there are so many. We would definately need a cheesecake also and I am hoping you could recommend me a good book.

  50. Happy Blogoversary, Martha!
    Hmm, I think I'll celebrate with my reading buddies and having a nice and enjoyable lunch together :) We're going to talk about books, books and books! LOL

    I think I'll choose Someone To Watch Over Me by Lisa Kleypas & Then Comes Seduction by Mary Balogh on our discussion since all of us love historical romance and those two books are the most recent translated books which are released in my country. Well, sadly, not all my friends read English books :(
