100th POST and a HUGE GIVEAWAY that is SOFA KING HUGE I Can Hardly Stand it!





I am alive!

And have now graduated with the publication of AND THEN THINGS FALL APART from "Writer" to... say it with me... "Author."

I have had enough experiences the past two weeks to blog about for a lifetime. There are photos, interviews, videos (!), announcements, tearjerking coincidences and etc.

This does not even include all the guest blogging I've been doing and totally digging.

Thanks for all the great reviews, savvy readers of mystery, it makes me feel like I'm onto something with this writing thing.

Meanwhile... This is my 100th post (I know! I can't believe it either) and I wanted to really live it up and give fun crap away to those who come knocking.

This amazing and heart breaking giveaway of staggering genius shall include:

  • One (1) signed copy of a AND THEN THINGS FALL APART
  • One (1) hand made hideously ugly and one of a kind AND THEN THINGS FALL APART soapdish
  • Four (4) Punk Rock Sylvia Plath button pins
  • One (!) Sylvia Plath stick mask from the AND THEN THINGS FALL APART Book Launch Event at Books of Wonder
  • Eight (8) signed bookmarks for you to pass around to your most amazing friends and librarians

All you have to do is become a follower of my blog (if you are not already, my darling) AND (as well as) leave a comment in this post's comments. I will use some sort of randomizing application to choose not one but TWO (2) lucky winners!!

What are you waiting for? You will have until August 20th to enter. (Shipping is US only...)

This is like, my first contest. It may be my last... so don't miss out!

xoxo

I'm STILL buying the book, but since I missed your Naperville "Naz reunion / signing", I'd gift the book I buy to a deserving young lady I already have in mind :). She has her own blog / writes songs, etc... and I think she would love it.

Arlaina Tibensky said...

Thanks, Melissa! Really :) xoxo

Nikki said...

So I don't know how I missed this considering I've been following for a while now and I know 13 is supposedly an unlucky number, but my hopes are still high that I could potentially win.

Also, yay! You're an author!

P.S. I freaking LOVED And Then Things Fall Apart - it was sofa king awesome :)

Derek Molata said...

Congratulations, Arlaina! I'm looking forward to reading your book and just started following your blog. I hope being an author is as much fun (if not more fun) than being a writer. I'm still in the writer stage and it's fugly.

Melissa G said...

This contest is so wonderful it hardly seems fair! Aaargh!!!!! ps it's so funny that we're old enough to put soap in a dish! I mean, use soap, and have ceramic objects for something other than ashing in! zany!
