1 year Blogiversary Giveaway

Yes, Jinky is Reading (aka Books That Tug The Heart) is one year old today!!  Woohoo!!!  It sure was a journey getting here (you can read the beginning HERE).  It must have been my time because I was hooked after my first book review (Ever After by Karen Kingsbury)!  I couldn't believe I was reading up to 3 books a week.  A far cry from 1 book or so every other year!!  It wasn't until July of last year though that I found out about the enormous cyber book blogging communities!  Why I thought that I'd be the only one with this idea ... I don't know, just didn't occur to me.  Anyway, that month I started blog hopping and joined a couple web book groups.  I was thrilled to find wonderful bloggers.  I started to learn the book lingos, like:  genre, meme, YA, ARC, POV, etc.  And even how to's in overall blogging.  I discovered a hobby that I can share and call as my own.  I was loving it (and still loving it)!!  I grew to love books and finally, Jinky is Reading!! :)

In honor of my blog's anniversary, I will be giving a copy of Ever After by Karen Kingsbury.  To enter, you must be a public GFC follower or "Like" (join) Books That Tug The Heart on Facebook and fill out the entry form below. Since I will be ordering this through Book Depository, make sure that they deliver to your country (check  HERE).  I will also offer this to the upcoming "Love Hop" so if you enter before Feb. 8th, you will be entered for an extra entry.  You will also get extra entries for sharing this giveaway via blogging or tweeting (see form).  ~This giveaway will end Feb. 13 and winner announced Feb. 15th. 

Thank you for your support.  This would not have been as fun without you!!
