Just Beachy Reads Prize Pack Giveaway

Geeks + Cheerleaders = NO, Not Beauty & the Geek...

JUNE'S "JUST BEACHY" READS PRIZE PACK GIVEAWAY!!!

When I saw the splashproof cover of Kieran Scott's I Was a Non-Blonde Cheerleader, I decided to host this giveaway! And while I have no idea who the marketing genuis was that thought of splashproof book covers, Kieran was awesome about donating some books to the giveaway! THEN, the book gods smiled on me and I won a copy of The Geek Girl's Guide to Cheerleading after I had already bought one AND Kieran sent me the third book in the Non-Blonde Cheerleader series as a gift right about the time I purchased a copy. So, add it all together and what do you get?

This contest!!!


Grand Prize:
Signed copy of I Was A Non-Blonde Cheerleader by Kieran Scott (splashproof cover)
Signed copy of Geek Magnet by Kieran Scott
Brunettes Strike Back by Kieran Scott
A Non-Blonde Cheerleader in Love by Kieran Scott
The Geek Girl's Guide to Cheerleading by Charity Tahmaseb & Darcy Vance
A super cool I Love Geeks magnet
+ a fun surprise for the beach!

1st Prize:
Signed copy of I Was A Non-Blonde Cheerleader by Kieran Scott (splashproof cover)
Signed copy of Geek Magnet by Kieran Scott

2nd Prize:
Signed copy of I Was A Non-Blonde Cheerleader by Kieran Scott (splashproof cover)

To enter:

+1
comment telling us your favorite "beach read" include your e-mail address
+2 for becoming a follower or for already following this blog
+1 for each comment you leave on any of the following: my review of any of the books in the giveaway, interview with Kieran Scott or Charity & Darcy's guest post, June Blogger of the Month Profile (Lauren/Shooting Stars Mag) (max = 8)
+3 if you link to this contest (blog, sidebar, twitter, etc = 3 for each extra post, no max.)

Just comment once with all of the info letting me know how many entries I owe you!

This contest will end at midnight on June 29th. At this time it is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada only.

*Disclaimer: All of these books make great reads anytime, anywhere but my mom is famous for saying "just peachy" when you ask how she is, so in honor of her I named this my "Just Beachy" contest. :)

Good Luck!

Pride and Prejudice is my favorite beach read. It's just so easy to lay under the sun and escape to regency England and imagine what life would be like if I could find a guy that intelligent

+1 my favorite beach read is usually something scary. Last time I was at the beach (which, admittedly, was 2 years ago) I read the novelizations of the first two Resident Evil movies. I try to steer away from vampire novels though--I'm scared they'll burst into flames!

I'd love to win, I saw these books on Amazon a while ago and they sounded really funny and cool.
I think my beach read is any of the Georgia Nicolson Collection. They are just so easy to pick up at any point, and they aren't that long because they're in diary format.

Wow, I'd love to win! Favorite beach read is, strangely, the GONE series by Michael Grant. Both books I read while down the Jersey shore (yes, that is how we Jerseyans say it) and so I've heretoafter associated those books with the shore, even though they are dystopian thriller horror sci-fi lit. lol

I already follow, linked to my sidebar, and I'm pretty sure I've commented on the other links. :)
