…And then Amazon Created Fire, And Gave It To The Dragon
It’s no secret that I love my Amazon Kindle. I rave about it every chance I get. But when this new Amazon Kindle Fire was announced, I almost hurt myself. I WANT ONE!!!!! I told my daughter that if I somehow manage to get one of these little babies, I’ll give her my other one. So now she’s dropping hints all over that Mom wants Fire!!! I just hope no one bought me a lighter for Christmas. LOL
Anyway, my buddy Justin Germino over at DragonBlogger.com has just announced that he’s giving away 2 Amazon Kindle Fires. OMG!!!!! Not just one, but 2 of them. I’m feeling dizzy already. And the cool thing is that this is an easy content to get in on. There are only 3 requirements and the rest are extras. The requirements are that you follow DragonBlogger and Blog Engage on Facebook and @aidyreviews on Twitter. That’s it. If you can do that, you’re in Baby!!! The extras are pretty easy too. Stuff like retweeting about the contest (which can be done daily), following Justin on Twitter, and that sort of thing. Each is a single entry into the giveaway.
But if you really want to hit the big time, do a blog post like this one. However, if you do this, make sure to add the links for the site’s sponsors. If it wasn’t for these awesome sponsors, there would be no fire and it’s too cold out there to be without fire. I’d personally like to thank all the sponsors who helped Justin with this contest. Not just because it gives me 2 chances to win, but because it’s nice to know that there are still some extremely kind people in this world. Restores my faith in human nature.
Dragon Blogger Kindle Fire Giveaway Sponsors
These awesome sponsors made this giveaway possible and you should pay them a visit and thank them!
Platinum Sponsors
Gold Sponsors
Silver Sponsors
This contest runs through the 15th of December and the winners will be announced on the 16th. This way, Justin has a chance to get them in the mail so the winners can have them in time for Christmas. Not that I’d be giving mine away to anyone else, but I’d sure have fun showing it off to everyone and telling them I got Fire for Christmas. It’s open to all residents of the US and Canada. And if you have any questions about how this device compares to it’s Apple opposition, just ask Justin. He’s been playing with both gadgets long enough that he knows them both intimately.
So head on over to DragonBlogger.com and get your name in the hat. This is going to be a great contest and there’s going to be 2 people out there in the blogosphere that are going to have a VERY Merry Christmas.
My Winning Books
I took some time off from blogging to rest up my hand. I’ve either gotten Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or a pinched nerve of some sort. Way to go, Ducky!! Oh well, my own fault, but it won’t keep me from playing on the puter.
I was lucky enough to win a total of 5 books during the Spooktacular Book Blog Giveaway Event. 2 e-books and 3 physical books. So far, I’ve received 4 of the 5, with the last one sent being sent out tomorrow. Rather than just send out thank-you’s (which I’ve already done), I thought I’d do something nice for those 5 bloggers/writers to show my appreciation.
The very first book I won was a hard cover copy of Stephen King’s The Dark Half. This win came from Grab A Book From My Shelf, with a total of 3 winners. I loved the fact that the winners were chosen by the site-owner’s pets. Very cool video posted showing the drawing. LOL. Thanks to Spunky Doodle for sitting on my name. 
The next book I won was an e-book copy of The Noble Pirates from the book’s author, R.L. Jean. Though there were originally going to be 5 winners, this kind person gave everyone a copy so everybody was a winner in this contest. And I’m thrilled to be one of them.
Number 3 came from a very sweet girl who’s created more than just a neat book, she’s created a visual trip through modern day Egypt that inspires children and adults alike. An ABC Escapade through Egypt is an e-book bursting with vivid pictures that take the reader/viewer through an alphabetical journey through modern-day Egypt. I highly recommend this e-book to anyone who has children. It’s very cool!!!
My forth win came from the lady who put this entire event together, Inspired Kathy. I love this site, and there’s a contest going on all the time. I won a copy of Dreadnought by Cherie Priest. It takes place during the Civil War on a train called the Dreadnought. That’s my mom’s favorite period in history so I,m thinking about giving it to her for Christmas.
And finally, I won a copy of Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews from Urban Girl Reader. I received a message from site owner, Sherri Wright that she will be sending my copy out tomorrow. She was a bit worried as the copy has been a little loved, but that’s totally cool with me. I like books that have known love.
I want to thank all of these people, and everyone who contributed to this event. I had a ball, and I can’t wait until the next one so we can do it again.
