Celebrating 25 Years of Jana! (International Giveaway)


So... once upon a time, I turned 25. And it happened this very month! I think that's worth celebrating! This giveaway is going to be a lot of fun, because in honor of my birthday, I get to surprise you! All you need to do is make a wishlist somewhere on the Internet (of 15-30 books), and link me to it. Here's mine, if you need an example. Then, enter the giveaway as usual. Rafflecopter will decide who wins, and then I will visit the winner's wishlist and send them something from it! You won't know what you're getting until it's in your hands, so please keep your list updated throughout the giveaway. I'd hate to send you something you already have!

Rules: 

→ You must be 13 years or older to enter. Otherwise, ask a parent to enter for you. :)

→ This giveaway is International. If you live in the USA, your prize will be coming from Amazon. If you're International, it will be coming from The Book Depository. Make sure they ship to you

→  As part of Armchair BEA, I posted a survey asking for advice and book blogging in general. If you filled out that survey, you get an extra two entries in this giveaway. I will check, and if your name is not entered in the survey (it was question #1) then those two entries will not count.

→  I am more than willing to do pre-orders, so feel free to put those on your wishlist as well.

  1. My last birthday I spend just relaxing with my boyfriend during the day. I went to my parents' house for dinner, there's a pizza place in the town the live in that's the best EVER. After dinner, my friends came over and we hung out, it was great! :)
    I hope you have an amazing birthday! At least I know you're surrounded by a lot of books and bookish people, so it has all the right ingredients ;)

  4. For my last birthday I drove to a fancy mall awhile away with my mom and we looked at the crazy expensive stuff.

    (My wishlist has more than 30 items because I would get confused if I tried to maintain two similar wishlists.)

  5. Happy birthday my dear Jana! I wish we would have met in person - then we could have had a lovely bookish/shopping/travel date of sorts. I'm so glad we're friends and I hope that we continue being friends for a long, long time! <3

    Oh and for my last birthday, I went out for dinner and a couple of drinks with some of my best friends in NYC :)

  6. Happy Birthday Jana! Have an amazing day at ALA!

    What I did for my last birthday? Well, I celebrated with my friends three days earlier because many went away a day before my birthday and on my actual birthday I had pasta with my parents and spend the whole day with my mum - shopping, laughing, eating, talking. Loved it! Was the perfect day!

    Hope your's as special as mine was!

  21. My last birthday I took the day off work at the insistence of my mom, who was going to book me a mani/pedi and we were going to do something else too I think. Well, I ended up sitting around all day, and doing some errands like banking and grocery shopping because I couldn't get an appointment for the mani/pedi. We did have a nice dinner out the next day, but it was a bit anti-climatic haha! This year I'll likely be working :)

  33. On my last birthday I didn't do much. I relaxed with two of my friends, it was probably the most calm birthday I had in the last few years. Usually my friends and I always end up doing child like silliness. x)

    Thanks for the giveaway! :D
