A giveaway: with SNARK!

So, my bloggy, twitter pal Jeni, who you can find at Closet Space Musings, is the author of TWO books: I Wish I Were Engulfed in Flames and Waiting for Karl Rove. And last week or so she said that her publisher wanted to know if she knew of any bloggers who were interested in doing a giveaway of her new book, ... and she asked me! Um. I don't know why, either.

Anyway, here's the deal: You leave a comment and tell me that you want this book. Then I will somehow randomly pick one person to be a winner. Said winner will give me their address, which I will send to Jeni's publisher who will send out the actual book. Good? Good. In exchange for this service I have received one copy of her Flames book and two copies of her Karl Rove book. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to mention that or not, since I've never done this before, but I thought it was important in the interest of transparency. And snark. Since I have two copies of the Karl Rove book, let me know if you're interested in that one and I might just send it to you.... if you're extra nice to me..... YOU know what I mean.....

So, is this how real giveaways are supposed to work? I feel like I should have installed something. I hope I haven't failed Mommy Blogging 101...... Actually, whatever. Maybe I DID fail Mommy Blogging 101, what do you think about THAT, huh? Oh, sorry... This post isn't supposed to be about me... OH MY GOD DO YOU WANT THE FUCKING BOOK OR NOT??????????





Please note: I've never actually done a giveaway for a book that I wasn't in and I won't be making it a habit, so if you want to send me an email right now asking me to review something, or for a "sponsored placement," or some such shit, the answer is no. I'm not here to whore for a brand or a website that I don't read, but I am more than willing to whore for my bloggy sister friends. So.... if I know you? Feel free to email me! And I don't even need to know you that well, really. But if you're just some random chick looking to ply your wares on my blog? Please go away. And I mean that in the nicest way. As far as you know.

EDIT: I forgot to make promises on Jeni's behalf, which I totally intended to do, so if you leave your twitter handle or your facebook page, Jeni will TOTALLY follow and/or "like" you. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I'm sorry. . . your disclaimer confused me. Are you whoring for her new book, or pimping for it?

Also, I want that book. Send it to me or else.

No. . . i don't know "or else what"

I don't know.... am I whoring or pimping? Prostitution terminology has always been very confusing to me

I've been waiting all day for my book to arrive, but it's not here yet. Is there a tracking number?

My best friend's son was just diagnosed with autism last year. They are really struggling as a family. I would LOVE to give her this book. She needs a good laugh and to know she's not the only one out there. (Believe me, I've already directed her to your blog, as well - it's been great for her). Thanks, and keep up the good snark!

I want the book. I actually want both of the books. I bet this chick Jeni and I would get along very nicely.

I just have to say that you are hilarious! I'd love to read both of these books. I must say that I am now wiping water of my computer monitor that burst out of my mouth after seeing the picture on the toilet....just wasn't expecting to see that as I was sitting here drinking.

And good for you for whoring yourself out for your friends! ;) There's no one better to whore yourself out for!

Mental note: Cozy up to Jill before my book comes out so that she will be willing to give one away! Oh wait...I don't have a book coming out or any plans to ever write a book....Nevermind!

I want! I want! I want! I don't care which one either. And I'm not being snarky either. And you did a great job being transparent and whatnot with the giveaway. You can find a randomizer online to plug names into for the drawing(s). I did it with mine, but don't remember what site I used. You're on your own! hehe

Um...just pretend that I'm kissing your ass as much as everyone else and send me the book! Oh yeah, and snark snark snark! :)

I would love to read this book. I don't know personally what you as Moms with kids of autism are going through, but reading your blog has given me insight to how difficult it is. And that you've been able to keep your sense of humor and write such wonderful blogs is just so wonderful and helps me keep my life in perspective.

I mostly talk nonsense on my twitter feed, but if Jeni wants to follow, I would love it. As long as she knows I'm now going to follow her. :-D @KellieLC

I love the idea of a giveaway and I'd love copies of both books. It appears that the author has a good sense of humour. Which is important when raising kids with autism.

MEEEEE!!!! ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! PICK ME!

*Ahem*

Why, yes Jillsmo, I would be delighted to receive a copy of this fabulous sounding tome. Does it come with a month's supply of Xanax, perchance?

p.s. - Do I get extra points for using the word "tome"? And how about putting me on your blogroll? Because I'm insecure and that's the only thing that makes me feel accepted and loved. That and the xanax, of course.
My recent post Autism isn't a big deal, right? Wait, can you answer that later? I'm watching Adventure Time right now, and it's my favorite show.

I want this book and your snark is amazing. I want to be like you! lol

I want the book because I would love more than anything thing else to have one more book in the stack on my nightstand to make me fell guilty because my current schedule allows time for approximately 47 seconds of reading per day.

Hi Jeni,

I do book reviews and giveaways on my blog. You can check out my following and stats on my site. Twitter and FB links are there as well. But I would at least need a review copy or an e-book copy in order to write a review. Feel free to contact me if you are interested.
