Blogoversary Giveaway

Announcing the first ever From L.A. to LA giveaway!

For anyone that's been around here long enough you might have noticed I like to read. And when I finish I book I do my best to post a small review. Partly to give advice to you all, but if I'm being honest its mainly to keep track of them all myself. But since I do want you all to try some of the books I've reviewed in honor of my first blogoversary, I'm giving away a copy of one of the books I've reviewed over the past year. And not just any book from the past year. But what ever book the winner wants! To help you all make your choice I've listed all the books I've reviewed that are eligible to be chosen along with a link to their original review. Good Luck on winning, but even harder good luck on choosing only one as your prize!

  9. I am already a follower!

    I own several of those books already, so....hmmm...

    I have heard good things about The Kids Are All Right, but yet, I don't even know what it is about!

    Loved the Julie and Julia movie.

    If I win, I will let you know my final decision.

    Congrats on your Blogoversary & Happy Holidays!!

  15. Happy Blogoversary! I found you through Suz at 30 before 30 (who I think commented before me)and I love your blog! If I was the winner, Id pick Julie and Julia. Been dying to read this book!

  16. Happy Blogoversary!! I found you through Suz as well. I just became a follower, and I had a hard time thinking of a book because I've either read a lot of them or they all look like I want to read them! I guess I'd go with Bright Lights Big Ass since it has been on my list for a while. I also posted your contest over on my blog:

  20. Happy Blogaversary! So as you know I'm a follower, and if I post before the 26th I'll include the link (I'll renotify you).

    I think the next book I want to read is The Road! It's definitely up my alley - I love post-apocalyptic type books!

  21. congrats on the blogoversary!! (and sorry to have been so bad lately with the commenting... now that Christmas is over I think I will be better!)

    anyway, it is SO hard to choose a book, but I haven't read anything by Jen Lancaster yet (though I just checked out her website) and so I am going to say Bitter is the New Black.
