Bloggiesta Wrap Up!

So here is my Bloggiesta Wrap! 

September's Winners!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!
  It's the last day of the month and here at My Little Pocketbooks that means it's time to announce the winners of all the giveaways.  With all the giveaways starting and stopping it's soo much easier to just do one winner post a month.  Just saving a few step.  Let me first  say a big THANK YOU to all you for stopping by, commenting, following and entering the giveaways!  

So now on to the September winners.  There were a total of 5 giveaways this month and 27 winners.  Congratulations goes out to a ton of people... 

This Blog is Cleaning House #3

Say it with me..."I will not be a Hoarder!  I will not be a Hoarder!!"  (I need to put that to some music)  You know the chant by now.  At least until I get the Christmas tree space cleaned out before it's time to put up the tree.  2 more months!! 

Clean house is going to go on every single month from now on to whenever at My Little Pocketbooks.  Every month I will be picking two winners who will be able to pick three (3) books from the list below.  Why am I doing this?  Basically, I'm really trying not to be on the next episode of "Hoarders" or "Buried Alive".  My bookshelf is not so over the top and now I need to let go.  Especially of the books I have not read and I have no plans on reading this year.

Book in the Spotlight: Winter Omens

Winter Omens
Author:  Trisha Leich
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (September 22, 2012)
Paperback: 412 pages
Buy the book: (Amazon)

Book Description
Althea and Lucas barely escaped the Others’ clutches in the autumn, and were separated in the process. Alone and on the run from the cruel alien race determined to exterminate her, Althea struggles to adapt and survive in a world she never imagined.
When a boy named Pax appears out of nowhere, he quickly recognizes Althea for what she is – a human/Other hybrid just like him. Althea begs him to help her find Lucas, but Pax refuses, intent on following his own mysterious agenda.
The Others’ presence continues to devour the planet’s resources, and if history is an indication, they won’t leave until Earth is destroyed beyond repair. Althea and Pax sense the only way to save themselves – and maybe their home – is to understand the powers simmering inside them.
Together they push the limits of their capabilities in the quiet Wilds, but are soon confronted with a terrifying fact: no place is safe from the relentless pursuit of the Others.
Least of all their own minds.

Why I Love Wednesday # 23

Alexis from Reflections of a Bookaholic started a Wednesday Meme called Why I Love Wednesday. Hop on over to Alexis' blog and join in the fun. Since I have been to busy to keep up with this meme, I decided to borrow Jade from Sort of Beautiful idea and do one post for the month.
