Happy Anniversary!

My first post on this site went live Oct. 26, 2009. Unbelievably, this thing's still going strong six months later! I started Booklicious as a way to channel my book-loving energy - I never really expected it to find much of an audience. It means a lot to me that you all come back every day and find something worthwhile in my little blog.

I've got lots of plans for the next six months, but if there's something you want to see more of, or if you have an idea for a post or series, please do drop me a line. I love hearing your ideas and feedback. 

So without further ado, let's start this celebration week! I promised you a magnificent freebie haul, and here's the first.

 Jenie of NYRB Classics has graciously offered three copies of Wish Her Safe at Home to you guys. Michael reviewed the book a little while back; you can read an excerpt from it, as well as NPR's review, here. To enter, send an email to giveaways [at] bookliciousblog [dot] com with Wish Her Safe at Home in the subject line. Include your name and mailing address in the body of the email. The giveaway is open to entrants worldwide. You have through this Friday, April 30, to enter.
