Welcome to Festivus Kiaras – or the Festival Known as the Month-Long Celebration Before My Birthday! Yes, that’s right – it’s my birthday and I’m hitting a milestone this year. Although. I’m still maintaining that I’m turning 25 (for the 5th time, of course). Shh… I won’t tell if you won’t.

The only drawback is that the download expires after 30 days. I’m kind of disappointed in that. I don’t think I’ll have time to read this in the next 30 days.

Since many readers are writers too, I thought I’d share an upcoming giveaway I found. From Sept. 1st – 30th, Writer Mama will be giving a way a book or writer’s gift every day. Be sure to check it out! Contest rules are here.
I highly suggest everyone check out the huge Neil Gaiman giveway over here. The more people who enter, the more they’re giving away!
(Then again…. don’t enter. I want to win myself!)
