Enter the drawing!

Hello, Readers.

I'm going to have a little drawing for a great prize, donated by one of the community members. But to enter the drawing, you need to post to this community. It can't be a post that just says, "Hi," or whatever. It needs to be a real post. Here are some ideas on what it can be:

• Your December book list (as long as you read some books - no posts simply saying, "I didn't read any books this month."), which should include a few thoughts on each book you read. I'm sure you're familiar with the typical format of book lists that people post here.


• Your 2008 book list (this doesn't have to include writeups on every book but might include some thoughts on favorites, unless it's a small list of less than 10 books)


• Thoughts on a few of your favorite books from the year


• A discussion related to reading/books/movies made from books/etc.

See? Not too complicated, but I felt I must give you some ground rules to clarify. :)

When I see you post, I will write down your name. I will gather up all the names of those who posted between now and January 2nd at 11:59pm (PST), and I will draw one name from them sometime shortly after that (hopefully that weekend, but I'm moving so things might get a little hectic for me).

The winner gets a $25 gift certificate for Amazon.com!

Since there are currently only 22 members here, your chances are pretty good. The posting is to help stimulate discussion and activity in this community, not just to amuse me. :) Okay, start up the posts!

Fun! I think I'll post my 2009 reading goals. :)

Oh good one!

Oh, fun! Although I'm embarrassed about not doing more to promote this community ... I've been lazy, that's my only excuse. =P

It's alright, I know how it is. :) That's why I'm hoping some posting will give it a little push for the new year.

Awesome! Yeah, the gift giver said to create a contest but I couldn't think of anything that could essentially involve *everyone* so this is what I settled on. I'm happy with it and look forward to people's posts too. :)

No it's already purchased. It was actually somewhat of an accident and this is what the person said to do with it. :)

Btw, I just want to say that this mystery person is awfully sweet. :) What a thoughtful thing to do!

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

:) Yes, I agree. Generous!

I've been musing on what to read in 2009, so I think I'll post my list! I also have my December book list coming up soon, but I'm not sure if I will have it ready in time for the deadline.

But my 2009 goal list, definitely!

Cool, thanks!

Wow, how very generous of the giver!!

As usual, I'm planning on posting my December reading list (which is quite short this month :-(), but I like the idea of posting 2009 goals, so I might do that, too. :-)

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

Two entries are definitely welcome. :)

[sheeri.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess I'll have to do a post then! ;) What a generous person!!

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

Please do! :)

I'll try to post today! Sorry I haven't been more active here. :\

[moredetails.livejournal.com]

It's no problem. I saw your post and added you to the drawing list. :) I would love for you to post more, but I understand not doing it because I don't post here very often either! I want to make a point to do it more, though, even if it means cross posting or pasting from a regular entry that pertains to reading.
