Giveaway!! A book a day in the month of May!!! Amazon Gift Card!!



Happy Birthday to my sister!! Since we both have birthdays this month, and you'll always be older, and I'm just happy to have another birthday, because it sure as heck beats the alternative, I'm giving away a $25 Amazon gift card! (Facts is facts sis, and isn't this the year that someone qualifies for the Senior Discount at Denny's???...hmm??? *snicker...)

I've really enjoyed all the witty and funny comments everyone has left here this month, and I appreciate more than you'll know when you stop here for a visit. So, in addition to the great books and audiobooks, I'm going to add a $25.00 Amazon gift card into the mix.

The rules are pretty much the same as all the other giveaways, except this one is going to run for 8 days, coincidentally ending on my birthday! To enter this giveaway, please leave me a comment on this post and include an email address so I can get hold of you when you win, sorry...no email addy and I'll have to draw a different name.

For an extra entry, blog or tweet about the contest and let me know.

And for yet ANOTHER entry, follow my blog! And if you already follow...bless your pea-pickin' lil' heart, just say so in your comment and you get the extra entry! (Yes, I am, in fact shameless!)

How easy is that three chances to win!! Since this gift card will be delivered via e-mail, this giveaway is open to EVERYONE!! (Just remember please, it's US dollars, not pounds, francs, marks,etc....)

This giveaway ends on May 25nd, when I'll draw the lucky name and zap the card to you!! And don't forget to scroll down and check out the other giveaways! Or you can find a list of all of them by clicking HERE!

Well, happy birthday to you little lady and your sister also. There's nothing wrong with senior discounts! I relish every one I get especially when you're on a fixed income and no raise in ss for the next two years. Sheesh, if we tighten our belts any more we'll be cut in half.
