Competition
There’s a few different blogs that I like to follow, just to get an idea of what’s going on in the book and library worlds. One blog that I love is called Windowpane Memoirs which contains lots of great reviews as well as eye candy for book lovers. They also run some fantastic competitions which is why I’m posting about them on here. At the moment, through Windowpane Memoirs, you can win a $50 Amazon gift card! It’s a great prize and it’s very easy to enter the competition. All you have to do is go to http://windowpane-memoirs.com/2009/08/31/arcs-contest to find out more!
Good luck!

Competition & Blog
I’ve recently (as in just now) found out about a great little website called Windowpane Memoirs. The creator was such a great reader and fan of reading that she decided to start her own website. It has lots of reviews and, the main reason I’m letting you know about the blog, competitions.
Right now the site is running a Harry Potter competition, which is perfect considering the next movie has been released! Click here to be directed to information about the competition and to enter yourself. Or click here to go to the home page of Windowpane Memoirs.
