Bingeaduckia: Day Five of our Scavenger Hunt.

Posted December 15, 2008 by Rowena in Reviews | 0 Comments


Another day, another task to complete for a chance to win some really great books by some really great authors. If you’ve been with us for the last five days then you know the drill. Complete the tasks, email us your answers and be entered to win a whole lot of great books.

Here’s what we have to award the winner of the Scavenger Hunt:

Today’s tasks focus on the people who bring about the books we all love so much. The authors of our favorite books. The authors who have become more like friends of ours as we read their blogs everyday and get to know the person behind the words we love. The authors who take time out of their busy days to come on our blogs and do interviews for us, guest blog with us.

Today we show our appreciation to them by doing the following task:

  • On either Book Binge or The Good, The Bad and The Unread, find a guest author post of either your favorite author or an author that was introduced to you that made you sit up and want to check their stuff. Just one author and email us the link to their interview or guest blog.

Once you’ve found that guest blog or author interview, email the link to us at contests[at]thebookbinge.com. Once again, in order to be entered into the drawing to win all of the books mentioned above, you must complete each task for each day. Only after you have completed every task will you be eligible to win the grand prize after all is said and done.

We look forward to seeing your entries and good luck to everyone. Stay tuned for some more scavenger hunt goodness, tomorrow at 5pm.

Bingeaduckia: Day Four of our Scavenger Hunt Fun…

Posted December 14, 2008 by Rowena in Reviews | 0 Comments


Welcome back for some more Scavenger Hunt good times. Today’s tasks will be given shortly but before I get into that here’s just a refresher of what you’re playing to win:

Today’s task focuses on reviews and the way our community works. We all read romance novel reviews in hopes of finding our next book to read. Our love of books shines through this way and so today’s task will be:

  • You must find a book that was reviewed on either Book Binge or The Good, The Bad and The Unread that you’ve read this year because of a review you read. If you read a review this year and read a book because of that review, find it reviewed on either site (which shouldn’t be too hard) and then send us the link to the review.
  • If you can’t find any books that you read because of a review on either site, then just find a book that you’ve read this year, that was reviewed by any of us on both sites and send the link of the review to us.

If you’ve been playing with us for the past couple of days then you know the drill, after you’ve completed today’s tasks, shoot us an email with your answers at contests@thebookbinge.com. For those of you who still want a shot at winning the prize, you must complete all tasks and have the correct answers. If you do, your name will be thrown in a hat and a random winner will be chosen to win the prize mentioned above.

The other tasks from previous days are:

Bingeaduckia Scavenger Hunt: Day 1
Bingeaduckia Scavenger Hunt: Day 2
Bingeaduckia Scavenger Hunt: Day 3

Good luck everyone!
