** My New Contest -- Win Some Books! **

Welcome to my newest contest! This will be a little different from my previous contests. I have quite a few kids' books that I "won" at a silent auction last year, and I would like to give some of them away. Today's contest consists of three groups & each group has three books.

The first group (above) has: Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Babe Ruth Baseball.
A to Z Mysteries: The Absent Author
Junie B., First Grader, Cheater Pants


This second group (above) are all Magic School Bus books.
The Magic School Bus Gets Caught in a Web.
The Magic School Bus; Field Trip Facts, Notes From Ms. Frizzle's Kids.
The Magic School Bus; Chapter Book, The Truth about Bats.

The first two groups consist of chapter books: for ages 7 to 10, and they are all Scholastic Books.

The final group of three are all middle grade novels by Judy Bloom: for ages 9 to 12.
These three are Dell Yearling Books.
Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself.
Iggie's House
Blubber

(All of these books are new. I've tried not to even open them, so they won't look used!)

** Contest Rules & Fine Print *
1) To be eligible, please leave at least one comment, per set of books. (ie: If you'd only like to win one set of books: leave one comment.....two sets: two comments....all three sets: three comments.)
2)  If you are not already a follower and you become one, your comment(s) will count twice.
3)  If you send over a friend or more and they leave a comment(s), you both will have your comments counted twice.
4)  The contest will end at midnight on Saturday, May 22nd, and I'll annouce the winners on Sunday, the 23rd.

I hope to receive many comments. In fact, I'd like to see at least 20 (not counting any doubles or triples!)
Please round up your writer/reader/blogger friends and send them over!

  2. I would like to enter so others can use the books. I have a parochial school in town that could use the baseball mysteries and the Magic school bus series.

    The the public library is dealing with serious funding cuts so I think they could use the older age group Blume books for their programs.

  15. Oh yeah, I guess I am a follower, so I get an automatic vote, but here's another one. Most everyone I know already follows your blog :-) and everyone else, well they just don't follow blogs, not even mine :-(

  22. Well of course I have a huge audience for all these books so enter me please. I have the wide range of readers, so any category would be great!

    Smiles!

  23. I knew I was holding out becoming a follower for a good reason. ;) (When you see my lack of follower pic, you'll know why. For some reason Google won't let me load one. I don't like being a gray face.)

    Please enter me in the Judy Blume set. Although, I do feel guilty for wanting them for myself when everyone else seems to have grandkids or kids who'd read them. But not really. All's fair in love and comment contests.

    I'll refer people from my site as well!

    ps. to be fair. I found out about this from Margo's blog, but that's only because I checked her's first. Your's was next on the list. Promise!

I'm still getting quite a few spam comments that are Anonymous, so I'm trying "User with Google Accounts." If anyone tries to comment that I know, and it won't let you, send me an email, okay? Thanks so much.
