I'm a Blogmania winner! ~ UPDATED ** ANOTHER UPDATE

I am so shocked and excited! I entered TONS of giveaways yesterday as part of Blogmania. I did NOT expect to win, but I DID! And, best part, I won a giveaway that I REALLY wanted to win at a blog I discovered (and LOVE) thanks to Blogmania. That blog is Tethered Mommy.

What'd I get? Well, clearly, since I'm posting it on my BOOK blog, it's a book! ;-)

A copy of House Rules by Jodi Picoult! I am so EXCITED! I've had my eye on this one since it was released! Here's the Goodreads.com description:

HOUSE RULES is about Jacob Hunt, a teenage boy with Asperger’s Syndrome. He’s hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, and like many kids with AS, Jacob has a special focus on one subject – in his case, forensic analysis. He’s always showing up at crime scenes, thanks to the police scanner he keeps in his room, and telling the cops what they need to do…and he’s usually right. But then one day his tutor is found dead, and the police come to question him. All of the hallmark behaviors of Asperger’s – not looking someone in the eye, stimulatory tics and twitches, inappropriate affect – can look a heck of a lot like guilt to law enforcement personnel -- and suddenly, Jacob finds himself accused of murder. HOUSE RULES looks at what it means to be different in our society, how autism affects a family, and how our legal system works well for people who communicate a certain way – but lousy for those who don’t.

I am so excited! This made my morning! (It was a rough morning. There's nothing like getting a call from Bank of America saying there have been some suspicious charges – and agreeing that they are, indeed, suspicious!) This was the pick-me-up I needed! I LOVE Jodi Picoult, so I added this book to my TBR list when I first saw it on Goodreads! I can't wait to read it, and you know I'll be reviewing it for sure!

THANK YOU, Tethered Mommy, for the great giveaway! And THANK YOU to Lynda at Between the Pages for an awesome event! I had so much fun finding new blogs – many of which I'm following. It was an extraordinary event that I'm glad I was able to partake in!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

OK. I'm in complete SHOCK! I also won the Blogmania package from Along the Way! (((Insert fainting smiley here!))) I never expected to win even once, let alone TWICE! Again, this certainly makes my day a LOT better! :-) Thank you, Janet! :-D

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

OMGosh! It must be my lucky day! I won yet ANOTHER Blogmania package from Star Shadow! Pick me up off the floor ... Three has always been my lucky number, so perhaps this is it! I'm so excited! :-) THANK YOU, Star Shadow! :-)
