Opinions of a Wolf

This giveaway is now over!  Congratulations to Denise, who won all three of her wished for books!!

Hello my lovely readers!

As a part of getting ready for moving in with my partner (which is official as of August 1st, but we’ve already carried all the boxes), I wound up sorting through my piles and piles of books.  I posted everything to ebay, where some sold, and then I was going to flat-out donate the rest, but then I thought of my lovely followers.  How awesome would it be to give you guys a chance at these books first?

So. I decided to give away 3 books to you all and then donate the rest.

Here’s how it’s gonna work.  Comment leaving a list of what books you want, in order of most wanted (with the first one listed being the most wanted).  List up to 3.  If only 3 people comment, you each get 1.  If 2 comment, the first person to comment gets 2, and the second gets 1.  If more than 3 people comment, I’ll use a random number generator to randomly select 3 people to each get 1 book.  Make sense?

Here are the rules:

1. You must be a follower of my blog!  This is a follower appreciation giveaway, please respect this rule.  I’m not running this to get more followers.  I just want to give a thank you hug to everyone who deems my ramblings worthwhile.
2. US only.  Sorry, guys. I am not rich enough to ship worldwide.
3. Giveaway is open through Friday, August 2 at 5pm EST, at which time I will select the winners.  A post announcing the winners will go live on Saturday, August 3rd.

To enter:

1. Leave a comment listing the books you want (up to 3).
2. Also state that you follow me and how/where (Twitter? Email subscription? Facebook? Feedly? etc….)
3. You must leave your email in some way so I can contact you to get your mailing address if/when you win.

The available books, in alphabetical order by title:

6. Dagon by Fred Chappell
   paperback, 1968, the cover has creasing and shelfwear and there is a stain on some of the pages, but it’s a copy of a Lovecraftverse story, and it’s awesome with that double cover thing where the one cover has a peephole through to the internal cover and you open it and bam there’s a craaaazy picture on the inside, so I’m really hoping it will find a loving home somewhere with another Lovecraft geek
