PAY IT FOWARD!
I will try to explain this where it makes sense. Carolyn did something on her blog called Pay It Foward. In plain old terms what it means is, if you win in the giveaway that I am going to do then you will also do a giveaway on your blog within the year. And whoever wins on your blog will also do one..and so on and so on.
So this is MY Pay it Foward since I won a lovely prize on Carolyn's.
One Grand Prize Winner will win a box of books from me. They aren't spanking new books, but I keep them all in very good condition. Here is the list of books that one lucky winner will win from me:
