We love comments at The Friendly Book Nook!

So to bribe you for encourage more comments and participation, we will reward one lucky reader with a fifteen dollar gift card to Amazon.

How will this work, you ask? Well from now until the end of August for every comment you leave you will be entered one time into the pot. These have to be real relevant comments, no spam! Then on September 1st, we’ll announce the winner on the blog!

So comment away!

  112. Betty N Says:

    There is something about a contest that makes people want to enter…and enter. The Amazon GC ties is nicely with your site because it can easily be used to purchase books but it can be used in other ways if the person desires. I hope a lot of people have found your website during this current contest (I did).
