Thank You Giveaway for 256 Followers!

It is time to thank my wonderful followers again!!
As of this post there are 256 followers! THANK YOU!
This Giveaway is for YOU.

If you have been around my blog for a while you know that I hold a Follower Thank You Giveaway for every 50 followers! A blog is not much fun if there are no followers or commenters!

This giveaway is ONLY for the 256 people who are following when this Giveaway posts!

This Giveaway is for a $25.00 gift certificate, online or gift card, of the winner's choice so it can be accessible to international followers too!

Since everyone included in this is already a follower you only need to make One entry! Leave your e-mail so I can contact you if you win!

The contest will remain open until Friday March 19, 2010 at midnight central time, with the winner to be announced on Saturday morning!

Thanks again to each and every one of you for your support!! 


I hope new people will join but you will have to wait for the next Follower giveaway to enter please! I have noted a couple of people have said they are following but I have not been able to confirm them through the Google Friend Connect on the sidebar. If you click on the Follow button it will either say you are already following or it will ask you to follow...so if you are not sure... check again.  Or you can look at your own profile and make sure Reviews by Martha's Bookshelf is there.  If not, please follow, but again you will have to wait till the next followers' giveaway to participate. 

WINNER of the 211 Follower Contest!!

True Random Number Generator Min: 1 Max: 37 Result: 18 Powered by RANDOM.ORG

I don't know why I can't get a picture of the Random.org so I had to copy and paste!  The winning number was 18.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LUCKY FOLLOWER WINNER:

[Note the snow in honor of the cold snap we just came through! LOL]
I have e-mailed to Donnas to please reply within 72 hours with her gift card choice!

211 Followers! THANK YOU Giveaway $20.00 GC PLUS!

WaHoo! Somehow between early December and now the followers slid from 152 to 211! I am thrilled and so it is time to celebrate again with another "Thank You" Giveaway for the Followers!

As I have done before, this giveaway is ONLY for the 211 people who are following when this Giveaway posts! I hope you will join if you are new but you will have to wait for the next Follower giveaway to enter please!  I have noted a couple of people have said they are following but I have not been able to confirm them through the Google Friend Connect on the sidebar. It is great if you are doing the subscribe thing - I like that for some blogs I follow because I get the summary each day - but that isn't the Google follow where I can confirm you are following.

 This Giveaway will be for a $20.00 gift certificate, online or gift card, of the winner's choice so it can be accessible to international followers too!


To Celebrate the New Year I am adding Second and Third winners to get their choice of the Friday Pick books if US or Canadian residents or $5.00 credit if international!

Since everyone included in this is already a follower you only need to make One entry! Leave your e-mail so I can contact you if you win!

The contest will remain open until Friday January 15, 2010 at midnight central time, with the winner to be announced on Saturday morning!

I really do want you to follow the blog but here is another sign I couldn't resist!!

Thanks again to each and every one of you for your support!!

Wow! Growing Followers - Watch for new Follower Giveaway at 200!

I thought we just celebrated 152 followers and now I am pushing 200! My goodness!!!  Thank you people for following.  I hope after this crazy month of giveaways calms down that you will stay to comment on the reviews and continue to meet new authors!!  I'll be doing another follower giveaway when the number reaches 200!

With a little luck I'll hit 200 followers as an early Christmas present or maybe birthday present!  Yes my BD is coming up on December 27!

Is everybody getting tired of giveaways?  I hope not! I still have several review book giveaways to be posted!

I am trying to think what I will due to celebrate my BD and the New Year!  I could do a gift card for my age!! That would make someone really happy except I'd have to tell my age!! LOL.  I'll be thinking on it and get it posted this weekend!! If you have suggestions feel free to make them!  Just know that I'm not up to buying an eReader just yet as much as I'd like to!!  I might have to stop doing the follower giveaways and save up for an eReader giveaway.... hmmmm???

Winner of 150 Followers Drawing!

Thank you again to followers and commenters!!

Random generator picked # 16 and the winner of the 150 Followers Giveaway is:

(That's Llehn - since her avatar looked like a cat I thought she might like the cat letters!)
I will be sending Llehn a
$15.00 gift card of her choice!

Thanks for  voting in the polls too! I thought the results were interesting!  If it is a gift card the majority want the larger amount!! But if it is books then it is okay to spread them one book each to several winners! =D

I know this month has been full of giveaways and there are still some to come with interviews and featured authors!  I hope to slip a couple of reviews in too!

$15.00 GC Thank You Giveaway For Followers!!

Whoo Hoo! I am thrilled to celebrate passing 150 (152!) followers!!

This giveaway will last for two weeks. It is for only the 152 people who are following as of this post!

This will be for a $15.00 gift certificate, online or gift card, of the winner's choice so it can be accessible hopefully to international followers too!

Since everyone included in this is already a follower you only need to make One entry!  Leave your e-mail so I can contact you if you win!

But I do have a question -
Do you prefer one larger prize with one winner ($15.00 to one winner) or do you like the idea of smaller prizes and more winners ($5.00 to three winners; or $10.00 to one and $5.00 to second winner)??? I am setting up a poll so that you can let me know your answers on this! Look for the poll on the sidebar! And there will be a poll regarding multiple book giveaways too!

The contest will remain open until Wednesday December 9, 2009 at midnight central time, with the winner to be announced on Thursday morning!

I really do want you to follow the blog but I couldn't resist that sign!!
Thanks again to each and every one of you for your support!!!

Congratulations To Follower Winner!

A BIG THANKS to my followers!

The winner of the second Followers Giveaway is:

KAYE!! 
I will be sending her a
$10.00 gift card of her choice!

I really enjoy followers and commenters!  You are all #1 in my blog!!

Which reminds me to say Thank You to the participants in the giveaway who commented on various blog posts that they liked.  My goal is to make this a fun place while sharing books I am reading, offering informative reviews and interviews and adding a touch of blessing!

Since I like giveaways and like rewarding followers and commenters you can anticipate that I will have follower Giveaways pretty regularly! =D

Another THANK YOU Giveaway for Followers!!

I am thrilled to celebrate my 100, (okay now 104 105!), followers!! When I had my first "followers giveaway" I think I rushed the deadline and didn't give people much time to enter. So this giveaway will last for two weeks. But it is for the 105 people who are following as of this post!

This will be another $10.00 gift certificate, online or gift card, of the winner's choice so it can be accessible hopefully to international followers too!

And to keep the playing field even, it is just a one comment entry per person! Please comment to this post to enter and I would like you to mention any one other post you have noticed on my blog!  Leave your e-mail so I can contact you if you win!

The contest will remain open until October 16, 2009 at midnight central time, with the winner to be announced on Saturday morning!

Thanks again to each and every one of you for your support!!!

A Giveaway for the 61 Current Followers!

My blog has been up for not quite 2 months and I already have 61 followers!! That is exciting to me and I appreciate it! I hope you are getting to enjoy the reviews and memes I post! I especially hope you find some new authors and books to read!!

Before I get more new followers from the BBAW Giveaways I decided to reward the existing group of followers for their support. So this contest is for YOU CURRENT 61 Followers!!

I am giving a $10.00 gift certificate - online or gift card - whichever works for the winner! This is just a one comment entry per person! Please comment to this post to enter and I would like you to tell me what you like about my blog or what items you would like to see here! The contest will remain open until Thursday September 17th at midnight central time, with the winner to be announced on Friday!

Speaking of items to see here - I will be starting author interviews... if not during this busy week then next week!

Since this is a gift certificate/card of choice, it is open worldwide! I'm not sure which of my followers are across the seas but I think there are a couple of you out there! You would know what would work for you if you win so I hope you will enter for your chance!

Thanks again to each and every one of you for your support!!!
