Welcome to my first ever contest! Well, drawing, I should say. As I said yesterday, it's time to make room for some new books! (Plus, I have a really bad habit of buying books and movies and forgetting that I already have them) :D

Ooooh, I love books. What a great giveaway. Right now my point total is only 1. But it's something. I love the variety you have on your blog, by the way. Have a great day!
Pretty awesome! I DO follow your blog, just anonymously. Not sure if that counts. Some of those books look really great! Thanks for the great contest, er, drawing!
What an awesome giveaway! I am a follower of your blog. And I think I'll do a post about this on my blog. I'll comment again if I get to that. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Well, I am a follower of the blog so my point total is a whopping 1. Thanks!
*waves!
Okay - don't enter me in the contest! I have way too many books on my 'to read' list as it is right now! I just wanted to say . .. woo-hoo, potentially free books! Ok, got it out of my . . .woo-hoo, potentially free books . . . ok, out of my system now. Sorry about that! I also have many of those books as well.
I am a follower, check out my blog tomorrow, because I'm promoting Elana's e-book then, plus a link to your contest as well, so my points are adding up!

Hey, you could donate my points to someone else if you want! : )
How super fun! And, I love that you are giving shout outs to your pals and their books. That's the best part of our writing/blogging community :D :D :D
So far I've mentioned your contest on facebook and twitter. But give me time Michelle... I've only just begun! haha!
Cindy - thanks! And it only takes one entry to win ;-D More entries just up your chances :) Thanks for dropping by!
Lady Glamis - of course it counts! :)
Bonny - thanks :D I've got you down for 2 entries for following and commenting so far, so just comment again if you rack up any more entry points :D
Kristi - you actually have 2 entry points :D One for commenting and one for following :)
Scott - LOL you are too funny. You may give your points to the person of your choice. Or I can just put your name in the drawing and if you win you can transfer the prize to whomever you want :)
Tess - thanks :) And yep, I thought this would be a fun way to help advertise Elana's and Jess's books. They are both must reads (written by super-awesome people) so I want to help spread the word as much as I can :)
And Mandy - LOL rack up those points girl! :D
Great contest! I'm already a follower. :) Good luck to everyone.
What a great contest! I only get one entry so far--for being a follower. I'll let you know if I earn more. :)
Thanks for the fun!
Remember guys, commenting is your first entry point. So if you comment and are a follower, that's 2 points :D
Ooooh, cool contest! I am a follower and I commented so I believe that gets me two entries! If I get around to blogging/twittering I'll be back to leave another comment.
*crosses fingers*
Hi Michelle! You've got great titles to give away! I'm also following your blog now--interesting posts. And thanks for following mine!
I'm with Scott -- don't enter me -- but I think this is a fantastic contest and I'm gonna mention this and L'il Johnson's work, too.
LOL will do, and thanks for spreading the word! :)
I was refered by Bane so he should get a point. Now I'm a follower so I should get a point. :)
Like J.J., I was referred to this terrific blog (and awesome contest) by Bane of Anubis, so he should definitely get a point for that... then, like Scott, if he wins, he could donate the books to some worthy soul... like, er, ME, for instance. :-)
Anyhoo, I must've had a lot of time on my hands because I racked up 11 points tonight:
1 for commenting
1 for becoming a follower (!)
3 for mentioning the contest on Twitter, Facebook, and one of my blogs
3 for mentioning Elana's book on Twitter, Facebook, and one of my blogs
3 for mentioning Jessica's book on Twitter, Facebook, and one of my blogs
Here's the blog post if you need to check it out. Do you need the links to my Twitter and Facebook accounts, too - or is this on the honor system? :-)
Besides the extremely generous contest, I simply had to promote the two books - after all, I see Elana's comments on Nathan's blog all the time, and Jessica's book has a similar title to mine (Hollow Souls), which happens to be about a place called the Hollow... how cool a coincidence is that?!
Thanks for the contest, Michelle. No matter who wins, I think it's totally groovy of you!
I'll bite! Count me in please.
You've given me an idea. Perhaps I can get rid of some of my coffee mug collection this way. Writers love coffee, right? LOL!
Laura - Wow! Thanks for following and spreading the word! :) And yes, just the honor system, though I will definitely check out your blog :) Both Jess and Elana have awesome books that just need to be bought, and very cool coincidence on the whole Hollow thing! :)
And Christine - that would be a great idea! Most writers do love their coffee as they type away into the wee hours of the night ;D
Great idea! I... have nothing else to say. Oh, except I'm following you now, too. :)
LOL glad to have you L.T. Host! I've got you entered :)
My bookshelf is looking empty. Thanks for the opportunity! Diane
Love the contest!!
1 entry = for being follower of this blog
1 entry = mentioning Elana Johnson's soon-to-be released ebook From the Query to the Call on your blog (see bethrevis.blogspot.com--did a review and interview with her)
Thanks so much! *crosses fingers*
Whew! Looks like I'm sneaking in under the wire!
Couple of things:
one) Michelle, I have surfed around your site a bit and know without a doubt that this will become a regular place for me!
two) the very important contest *grinning* - I found your blog/contest through Laura Martone's site (thanks Laura!) so she needs her points bumped up to 12... and I have now posted about this contest/Elana's book/Jessica's book on my own blog. Plus I subscribed!
WooHoo! 4 points for me!
Thanks for the contest and wonderful blog!
This contests is still awesome! I'm back for more :)

Beth and Diane - thanks for stopping by, I've got you entered :D
Martha - hope you enjoy looking around; I try to keep it interesting :D I've got your entries and added another one for Laura. Thanks!!
Hi, Michelle! Thanks for adding another point for me. In all honesty, I'm just excited to spread the word about my fellow writers - though I sure wouldn't turn away free books! I'm just so giddy right now that Martha found her way here from my blog! How cool is that?!
