Contest #3: FAVORITE AUTHORS

Day 3:  40% of Authoress



Welcome to Contest #3, which offers TONS of free books as prizes!  In fact, we will be giving away 23 books!! (Note: All book prizes are USA delivery only, except for digital.)  Take a moment to scroll through the Rafflecopter below to take a look at the amazing list of prizes.

HOW TO PLAY:

Your job is to complete this list of my FAVORITE AUTHORS. (Disclaimer:  this is not my ENTIRE list of favorite authors.  Lest you feel I've omitted someone you were sure I loved.)

STEP ONE:  You are allowed, as a group, to request 5 CONSONANTS and 1 VOWEL.  Here's how this step works:

  • Post 1 vowel or consonant choice in the comment section.  POST ONLY ONE PER COMMENT.
  • As soon as TWO PEOPLE have requested the same letter, that letter is official.
(Note: Step One will likely move fast.)

STEP TWO:  Once I have the 5 consonants and 1 vowel, I will edit this post to include them.  THAT'S ALL YOU GET!  Here's what you need to do:
  • Work out the list on your own until you've got all the answers.
  • Post your completed list in the comment section.
  • FILL OUT THE RAFFLECOPTER so you're eligible to win glorious books.  (Please note that, except for anything digital, this giveaway is US only.)
IMPORTANT:  You don't have to play to enter the raffle!  Simply choose a different entry option in Rafflecopter below.
