I know, I know – TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY. AND a giveaway. My generosity truly knows no bounds…
Well, I figured it’s about time I started giving back… Loyal readers keep visiting and commenting, new people keep finding me and joining, and authors, publishers, and other websites keep sending new books for me to review – it’s only fair that I figure out a way to say thank you, so I’m going to start doing giveaways.
Hooray, she said!
The first giveaway will feature two memoirs previously reviewed here on Jill-Elizabeth.com – The Company We Keep (hard cover – anecdotal story about a couple of spies who meet at work, fall in love, and eventually leave the CIA together) and The Color of Atmosphere (trade paperback – a pediatrician’s journey from medical school to doctor-hood to the decision to walk away from medicine altogether). The books were both provided as review copies courtesy of LuxuryReading.com – and they are in perfect condition because Jill Elizabeth is an incredibly anal-retentive person who leaves books looking like new even after reading and/or referring to them multiple times. (teehee) Continue reading My First GIVEAWAY or Woohoo, She Said!
So I received the new Kindle and have downloaded my first books – hooray! So far, I have only added free/open access stuff, a couple of free sample chapters, and the few electronic versions of review books that I have taken on by special agreement. Already I have like forty things to read. Sigh. This is a great thing, don’t get me wrong. But it’s also a little maddening.
Why you ask? Because those forty exist on top of the hundreds (literally) of things at the house that exist in the amorphous and ever-expanding “to be read” pile. Well, to be honest, it’s actually not a pile – that would be impractical, as it would overtake me, the rooms, and anyone visiting. It’s more a series of shelves. Or several series of shelves, to be exact. Seriously – I have a problem.
