*almost* 500 #giveaway (US only), IF I SPEAK TRUE giveaway (INTL) + more

So... I was going to wait until I reached 500 FB likes on Facebook and Instagram, but I'm in a giveaway mood (prob has a little something to do with June's  #JLBgivesawayanINDIE!!!). Which means that even though I'm not *quite* to 500 likes yet, we're going to do it now, anyway!!! 

*celebrates with big swig o' coffee*

Over the past few months, I've picked up a few things specifically for this occasion (see left) and plan on a few more things being added by the time the giveaway ends.


The journal's endpapers are absolutely gorgeous, don'tcha think?

To those of you who are already my interweb pals, thank you! To those who I'm just now connecting with, hi there! I can't wait to talk all things bookish with everyone! :D 

A few things: 

1) The Almost 500 Giveaway is US only 

2) it ends July 19th at 11:59 p.m. PST

3) If you *haven't* already followed/liked me on FB or Insta, I'd love to connect with you, but it's not required to enter. 


And now for the NEXT giveaway... 

Sweet Jasmine of Jasmine Pearl Reads is giving away a paperback of IF I SPEAK TRUE (US only), and an ebook, too (INTL). The giveaway only has I think 9 more days, so make sure to click her blog link above, and enter! :) (LINK)


Plus, don't forget you have 9 days left to enter this month's #JLBgivesawayanINDIE 5 audiobook giveaway! (LINK) 

Last but not least...

Most of you know that Hafsah is my designer of pretty everything... my blog, my book covers, my business cards, and other stuff not-so bookish that I hit her up for, too. She does such beautiful, professional work, and has just started a new venture on her Etsy store: handlettered journals! :D I just had to share, because they're so beautiful and I've held one of her journals in my hand and they are great quality and so lovely! Do check her out if you're looking for a journal for yourself or a friend or loved one (she does custom orders!). 

Now here's the Rafflecopter to the ALMOST 500 Giveaway! :D Be blessed!

Kitchen safety class, yummy recipe, book song + more: this week's writerly news

Heyguysit'scrazyoverheresoI'mgonnasharethisweek'sstuffrealllllfast. (Only not that fast, because you can barely even read that.)

1) Found this nifty recipe and can't wait to try it next week (Chungah's blog is quickly becoming my very very favorite): Buttermilk Banana Blueberry Bread

2) Flora series exclusive content: Along with hosting an author on their blog during last week's YA Scavenger Hunt, each participating author also had to contribute exclusive bonus content to their host/hostess. I realized I'd shared my bonus content everywhere *but* here, so here ya go: David and Dahlia's lovely uh, safety class.

*insert tons of laughing emojis here*
Also: we're going to pretend that a) I can draw
and b) I actually know how to spell forest.

3) This happened on Instagram the other day and I thought it was absolutely perfect because if you've read the Flora series you know Ambrosia is not very...erm... modern. :D (Make sure to read my comment first, then @life_love_fandoms' response)

4) I don't know why, but I never share my WoWs on Friday's posts, and I totally should...
 
about Jennifer A. Nielsen's upcoming Mark of the Thief!


5) ICY(somehow happened to)MI: This All About the Bass, No Trouble re-do is great for #booklove peeps:
