Week of win: Wednesday Prizes.

First I want to say a big thank you to everyone for making my first contest so much fun.

But enough of that. It's time to announce my week of win Wednesday prize.

And there will be two winners. Yup two. :)
So here are the beautiful books up for grabs today:




The U.K. paperback of Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl.
The U.K. paperback of Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.

Let me know in the comments which book you would prefer. Oh, and if you already have these (and if your name is drawn on Monday) I will be giving a random mystery prize.
Hint: It may, or may not, be something write-esq and some form of chocolate. Yum.

And now the fun of Mad Libs:


_________ things and _________ make me _________.

I just wanted to say I've discovered the power of the blogosphere. I hadn't heard of Shiver a few months ago, but now I'm running into it EVERYWHERE.

I've gone from: "Shiver? Never heard of it."

to

"Shiver? Why does that sound familiar?"

to

"Shiver. Shiver. I've heard about that somewhere"

to

"Shiver again? It's everywhere."

to (finally)

"Shiver! I've got to read this book!"

Renae said...

Great contest!

I would love Shiver...I keep hearing so many great things about it and would love to read it!

Renae said...

Oh yeah and here's my mad lib.
I know I'm a little scattered, but its the last week of school and I'm milking that excuse for all its worth!
So...here you go!
Silly things and crazy people make me laugh.

Thanks!

JE said...

Shiver!

Love me a good mad lib.

Chocolate coated things and a cool spring rain make me Shiver (of course).

Tara said...

Shiver.

Little things and music make me happy.

Stina said...

Shiver!

I already have Beautiful Creatures.

Kathi Oram Peterson said...

Great contest! I've only heard a little about Shiver and nothing about Beautiful Creatures. Both look fascinating.

As for the mad lib...
Old things and memories make me yearn for days gone by.

Matthew MacNish said...

I forget things and they make me wonder.

Shiver please.

Jessica Bell said...

Either / OR, I don't mind :) Hmm,
... 'Pink things and Barbies make me want to slap someone' :)

Julie Musil said...

Shiver sounds good!

Mad lib...I love these!

Fishy things and slimy things make me barf.

Unknown said...

I have yet to read these and I'm ecstatic to grab a copy of a UK version... in fact I would die if I won so I'm hoping to get lucky!!!

Lets see here...

Small things and babies make me giggle.

Zoe C. Courtman said...

I'm having so much fun with your contests, Lindsay! And I'd pick BEAUTIFUL CREATURES.

Dark things and such make me beautiful.

Samantha Bennett said...

Ooh! Haven't read either!

Fall things and fireplaces make me cozy. :)

Jemi Fraser said...

They both sound great, but Shiver would be my first choice :)

Goofy things and my students make me smile!

Lisa_Gibson said...

I would like Beautiful Creatures.
As for that mad lib:
Happy things and kindness make me joyful.

Kimberly Franklin said...

Fun contest. I already have these books, so I'll be fair an not enter. Hope you have a great day.

Janet Johnson said...

Okay, a la Star Wars today (got the words from a Star Wars comic book)

Arrogant things and death make me collapse.

And there you have it, the wisdom of Star Wars. :)

Susan Fields said...

They both look great, but I just read a review of Shiver today and I really want to read it now, so I'll go with that.

Beautiful things and my family make me grateful.

Deb Salisbury, Magic Seeker and Mantua-Maker said...

Furry things and books make me laugh. (Had to work my cat in there somehow. ;)

Shannon said...

Either would rock. :)

I read everyone's reply and was stumped so I asked Mike to give me and adjective, a noun, and a feeling.

We have:

Fantastic things and buildings make me overwhelmed.

Unknown said...

Either would be fab!! Here's my madlib:

Wearing shiny things and high heels make me feel glamorous.

:))

Jaydee Morgan said...

I missed this yesterday. And both books look great :)

Pink things and mice make me nervous.

(don't ask how those words came up)
