Super Awesome Giveaway!
I was approached last week by CSN Stores about doing a giveaway, and I thought that would be a really good way to reward my fabulous readers for sticking with me during the recent dark times (I am referring, of course, to the horror of SVH Senior Year).
CSN Stores is offering a $40 gift card, good at any one of their many websites. They’ve got everything you can think of: platform beds, clocks, cookware, shoes, even dog beds for crying out loud. You name it, they sell it. But what I’m really excited about is the board games. Oh, so many board games! From Scrabble to Would You Rather to fifty different kinds of Monopoly.
Here’s how it works. You have four ways to enter.
- 1. Follow me on Twitter and retweet my announcement about this giveaway.
- 2. Follow me on Tumblr and reblog my announcement about this giveaway.
- 3. Become a fan of my newly created Facebook page and tell your Facebook friends about it via a status update. (I just created this page, so forgive me if it looks a little, well, sparse.)
- 4. Leave a comment on this post letting me know if you tweeted, tumbled or ‘booked, and it will count as an additional entry. If you don’t do any of those things, just say hello in the comments and that will count as one entry.
Your name will go on the list once for every entry. So if you do both 1 and 2 and then leave a comment telling me you did 1 and 2, your name goes on the list three times. When it’s all over, I’ll assign every name a random number, and a number generator will choose the winner.
The winner will be chosen this Friday, June 11, around noonish. Or whenever I wake up that day.
Good luck!
Disclaimer: I have not received any money or merchandise for this. Big, big thanks to CSN Stores for sponsoring this contest. See a list of all their websites here. CSN ships to the USA and Canada only.

Please enter me into your giveaway…although you should get that gift certificate for having to actually read all those horrible books.

Aw, thanks! Don’t worry about me – I took myself to the mall and rewarded myself with some retail therapy as soon as I was finished with the last book, haha.

Did the FB thing.
Wow, I really hate Monopoly, but I seem to be drawn to anything that someone puts Mario on…

I know exactly how you feel! I will never play Monopoly ever again, but I want that Nintendo version.

I’m like Allie, I pretty much want anything with Mario on it. It’s ridiculous.

I think the only way I could want it more if they did an all-Portal version where the pieces would be a companion cube, and a little turret, and a little Chell, and a little portal gun…oh God, I am so obsessed with this game right now.

Although, now that I think about it, Portal would be a terrible Monopoly game. PORTAL SORRY, however, IS FREAKIN’ BRILLIANT AND I SHOULD MAKE ONE MYSELF.

Hello! I have really enjoyed reading your recaps of the SVH books. I find myself laughing out loud at your take on the books! I am on the second go round of the junior year books, I know I’m sad! I can’t wait until the SVU books but can totally understand that you need to get away from them for a while! Please enter me in the sweepstakes. Thanks!

I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed the recaps! Thank you so much for reading, and for understanding that sometimes a girl just needs a break from Sweet Valley, haha.

I don’t Facebook or Tumblr, and I only have a few Twitter followers, so this will be my only entry. Good luck to everyone, this is a great giveaway! I would probably use the $40 towards some summer sandals!

Hi! Okay, I’ve done the Twitter thing, the Tumblr thing, and the Facebook thing! I just joined Tumblr recently and I’m still figuring it out … looks pretty easy … curious how it could supplement my current blog.
