11,000 likes!!! *grins* Actually, it happened yesterday, but I already had J.A. Redmerski’s awesome interview scheduled, so I figured we could celebrate this today, instead!
I will be selecting TWO winners and will give each one a $10 gift card, AND, with each milestone we hit, I will also be donating to a charity. This time, I’ll be donating to “Doctors Without Borders” (and you can too, if you’d like! I’ve linked it up 
).
How to enter for a chance to win a gift card? Just leave a comment below (and indicate whether you would prefer the Nook or Kindle gift card), and tomorrow by 9pm EST (11/27/2012), I will randomly select TWO winners (each one will win a $10 gift card). The winners will be contacted and once I receive a response back confirming the email address, the $10 gift card will be sent to the email address provided (make sure it’s valid!!).
NOTE: The winners will have 48 hours to respond to the winning email notification. If no response is received, I will randomly select another winner. Make sure to check your email, so you do not loose your chance. This is open to anyone that can receive an emailed giftcard from either of these two companies.
OH AND!!! —-> Many of you have been asking how to receive a notice each time my blog is updated. Just use this link right here:

And if you haven’t “liked” my Facebook page yet, come on over and join us! We’re a fun and extremely active group and we’ve got really REALLY good taste in books! https://www.facebook.com/MarysesBookBlog
I am happily addicted to reading but I need to expend my book energy (especially when one puts me in an emotional frenzy - SO fun!). So, I release my feelings about the stories, by writing them down here. It's my book therapy.
