A Ray Bradbury Limerick

I was one of the prize donors for Dewey’s recent Read-a-Thon. I offered 2 Bookmooch points–one for the winner, and one to be given to the Bookmooch charity of the winner’s choosing. The winner was Debi with a limerick about Ray Bradbury’s Halloween Tree: Tom Skelton and friends took quite a trip, Through space and time, they did fly and flip, Learning much about night, And things that cause fright, And in the end, they saved their friend Pip. Since Debi is not a Bookmoocher,…

Win a Bag of Books

The Long and the Short of it is running a contest to promote their new review site! The prize is a bag of books and bath products. Sounds like heaven to me. Thanks again to everyone who participated in the Bookworms Carnival and commented on the post. There’s nothing like reading about reading, right? Head over to hidden side of a leaf for info on the next carnival. The theme is classics. Guess I’ll be queuing up either Moll Flanders or Sentimental Education by September…

We Have a Winner!

In honor of Buy a Friend a Book week, I ran a contest to see if anyone could guess my other hobbies besides reading. I had millions of entries, but only one lucky winner. I do not: snort crystal meth make soap swim in the Hudson river teach the deaf to sing collect used bubble gum make model sailing ships out of toothpicks Someone guessed online scrabble, but I picked up that hobby after the contest began, so that’s wrong, too. If you browse through…
