When I started this blog a couple months ago, I never thought I’d have 500 followers so quickly. I actually thought I’d be lucky to have a handful of people who might read my blog once in awhile. So thank you. Thank you to each and every person who stops by, who follows, who tweets with me, who comments, who takes the time to check out my silly blog. This whole book blogging experience has been amazing thus far. I’ve met some really awesome people since starting Refracted Light, and I’ve gotten to take part in some really cool book events and have gotten the chance to read a lot of cool books. To me though, the connections I’ve been making with other book lovers have really been the highlight of this whole blogging “thing.”
AND….As a thank you to all my followers, I’m having an INTERNATIONAL giveaway! If The Book Depository ships to your country of residence, then you are eligible to enter. So what am I giving away? Well, I have so many specific book giveaways, that I thought for this one, I’d let it be winner’s choice.
THREE (3) winners will each be able to choose ONE (1) YA book under $12 from The Book Depository*
* UPDATE 9.08 – If Refracted Light reaches 600 followers before the giveaway ends, I’ll add another winner!
**UPDATE 9.15 – Refracted Light has reached 600 followers! I’ll now be choosing three winners!
The book can be one already released, or I’m willing to pre-order a book for the winners as well — as long as TBD has a listing for it — since I know there are a lot of really awesome books coming out on the 27th.
Please fill out the Rafflecopter form to enter. This is mandatory. Comments will not be counted as your mandatory entry. Rules and conditions are listed below the Rafflecopter form.
(9/8 – 9/25)

I feel special! I’m the first to comment (at least I think I am, pesky refreshing screens!)
