BEDA Day 4: This is a Birthday Contest

As you might or might not know April is my birthday month, and I really wanted to do something big on my blog about it. You see, on April 21 this year I will turn 20, which means it is no longer normal for me to read YA books. Not that I care, but the stares I already get at Borders when I head back to the teen section are sure to just get worse from this point on. So I wanted to leave the teen world with a bang! How might I do that you ask? LET'S HAVE A CONTEST! A REALLY BIG MULTIPLE PRIZE, MULTIPLE WINNER CONTEST!

About a month ago I attended some weird Internet conference where I got a free mp3 player. I already have an iPod, but the mp3 player got me thinking, "Why not have a contest with book about music as prizes and make the mp3 player and a book the grand prize?" So here it is guys, My biggest bestest contest yet!

Books up for grabs:

The grand prize winner will win an mp3 player almost identical to the one below (sorry Lexi, my scanner/printer, is being a poop face so she wouldn't let me scan in the pix) and their first book of choice. The other 5 winners will receive their first book of choice or next one on their list depending upon if it was already chosen.


So how do you enter? Well first off the simplest way to get an entry is to comment on this post. All comments will automatically be entered regardless of content, however if vulgar language, spamming or something else I deem inappropriate is mentioned I reserve the right to delete your comment and not enter you in the contest. I do not anticipate these problems from my lovely readers, but as I have had to remove word verification temporary I can't be sure.

If you can't do any of these things that is totally ok, just commenting on this post counts for one entry. Please include your name and email in the comment so I can easily reach you if you win.
