Would you care for some swag?

All of my expectations for 2011 were superseded in the best possible ways. I got to "meet" some awesome bloggers (like you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you - off the top of my head), tweet to my favorite authors AND ACTUALLY HAVE THEM RESPOND (to which I responded to by acting like a blazing idiot where they couldn't see me behind the computer screen),

(One of the highlights of my year - the woman who writes about bedazzled pink tasers and perpetually naked madeofwaterandawesome men CALLED ME ADORABLE. Now if only Stephanie Perkins would tell me that she loved my blog and that I was the bestest fan in the whole wide world, then my life would be unequivocally complete.)

and I discovered some frigging amazing books. Even better, I FINALLY bought my own domain. Yeah, that's right, I am now the proud blogger behind http://www.paranormalindulgence.net.

But what about the swag... Wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm getting there.

I challenged myself to read 120 books by the end of 2011 through Goodreads and finished up the year having read 133 books total (though not including rereads). You can see the list here.

I rocked The Story Siren's Debut Author Challenge and YA Bliss's YA Historical Fiction Challenge (though I failed miserably in the 2nds Challenge and GBLT Challenge, but, WHO'S MENTIONING IT?) I signed up for this year. (Find out what I'm participating in next year!)

I've gained a substantial audience and am branching out and making connections with such generous and friendly publicists. I feel good. This year has been fabulous! My wish for 2012 is that the trend continues and that next year turns out to be even more memorable and remarkable.

So, in celebration of this wondrous, fast-approaching new year, I'm giving away some bookmarks!

Three lucky people will win a few of these gorgeous babies to add to their collection of bookmarks. I'm expecting another set from another author, so I'll probably be throwing those in too.
