Win-It Wednesday: Boy Meets Boy
So the winner of Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why, as chosen by my favorite random number generator, is.... The Page Wanderer! Cyndi, send me your address!
Today I'm giving away an autographed copy of David Levithan's Boy Meets Boy, which I read just this week (yes, I am so 2003). It's funny, it's smart, it's gentle and rough at the same time. I'm totally tenderized by it. That sounds meaty in a weird way, but I just mean that it left me feeling softer and smiley. And now that I've been exceedingly vague, I'm going to let you win it and read it for yourself.
So, to win, just comment below and tell me about a website you visit frequently. Could be a great blog, a fashion site, a news outlet, whatever. I have a bunch that I'm addicted to, but a new favorite is veryshortlist.com. I know the site isn't new, but like I said, I'm very 2003 this week.
A winner will be chosen next Wednesday, so good luck! Oh, and here's another contest where you can enter to win Alexa Young's Frenemies, which is out this week. Hooray!

I've read this one! I don't own a copy, but yes, it's wonderful. I love David Levithan's books.
I visit many websites frequently. Let's go with SheroesCentral.com. Great info about books and wonderful people. There has been many fantastic debates that managed not to devolve into internet wankage.

Ooh, I've wanted to read a David book ever since I read his short story in the Up All Night anthology.
I am addicted to YouTube and Nitpickers.com right now. I've been watching old movie clips on YouTube...the Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney movie clips were my obsession yesterday. I haven't decided what today's will be. :P

Well, I love explosm.net, because of it's comic Cyanide and Happiness. You have to have a sick sense of humor to enjoy most of the comics, though. I also frequent imdb.com, because I'm such a cinemaphile.

I really love http://www.book-by-its-cover.com/ It's a blog of artist books, zines, and other amazing books. I love that she shares photos of the book's insides.

unfortunately, I frequently visit Facebook.com- which could also be categorized as a big waste of time, although it is otherwise quite addicting. Aside from that I always go on the stephaniemeyer site for movie info!

Well, myspace for one. And facebook. But then I have like this huge list of blogs that I check out like two plus times a day. It's insane. AND Bookdivas.com, randombuzzers.com, and yabookscentral.com are also some that I frequent.

I'm addicted to edwardandbella.net for all things Twilight movie, and altpress.com for music news :)

Every time I get online I visit bookdivas.com. It's a great place to discuss books and everything. I also visit yahoo a lot to check my email!

hmmm...let's see
I go on myspace a lot...well I used to before I finally deleted it because I was on it for wayy too many times. Its really addicting. I also go on YouTube a lot to listen to music and watch videos...etc etc. Its so wierd but funny at the same time when I find a video filmed at a place I was at and its just like "I was there!" and "I saw that!" and stuff like that. Did that make sense?

Ok, I'm sure I said this before but since I really enjoy reading it I think I'll say it again. Sarah Rees Brennan's blog is incredibly hilarious.
I also really enjoy Justine Larbalestier's blog.

Ooh! This book sounds interesting. Anyway, the sites I tend to visit frequently are bookmooch, because I like to check to see if any of my most wanted books are available, and youtube. I love to watch videos on there. They're very entertaining. :]

I'm addicted to my gmail account LOL

Being an absolute foodie, a blog which I frequent nearly everyday, even though I know the blog author Molly posts only once a week is Orangette at www.orangette.blogspot.com Here, heartwarming stories of food and life are posted. Everytime I ready Molly's posts, I'm left feeling inceredibly hungry!

I probably visit AOL (www.aol.com) the most. Regular news and entertainment news are right there, and I can check my e-mail. You can sign on to AIM or listen to XM radio. Plus there's a search bar up top to look thing ups, including videos.
So I like it. =) I have it as my homepage.

I would love to win a signed copy of Boy Meets Boy! read your blog regularly, and I also visit teensreadtoo.com and Yabookscentral.com a lot. Plus, Facebook is sooo addicting!

I absolutely must check my email (on hotmail) everyday! (unless I'm at my sister's flat!) I also try to check out imbd news everyday (Lol, they have really good highlights on entertainment news!) I've been going on a lot of book blogs lately, which are awesome if you need to find something to read! I don't have a myspace, :( but I do have a bebo!!!! Oh, and I asked my sister Nancy and she said that she likes tv.com and spoilerfix- because she's crazy about a million tv shows (So am I but I don't like spoilers!). She also likes TMZ and AMW (the America's Most Wanted website!)
Thanks for the contest! =D
