I’m amazed that anyone wants to read my blog. I mean, I have family members that I can prod into taking a look every now and then, and it’s been nice (beyond nice, truth be known) to have a community of fellow readers at my fingertips, but I still don’t expect anyone to actually read what I have to say. Translation, short form: all of you are wondrous surprises, and I adore you.
Sometime in the last two days there were 400 of ‘you.’ This calls for a celebration. Well, almost anything calls for a celebration, but this feels big and happy, so I’m making it about followers. If you are a follower (bless!) and would like to win books, read on.

Oh my gosh, that's one heck of a prize! I would love a chance to win it. I blog and read blogs because words, reading, and writing are my life. It's brilliant to find others like that around here :)
My email is mel(dot)helmers(at)gmail(dot)com
Wow, what a great giveaway--and congratulations on 400 followers!! I blog because I love having the chance to talk to others about the books I've read, and to discover new books from other people's blogs. My email is bastet57 AT gmail DOT com
What an awesome giveaway! I have a blog because I love talking about books, but got tired of the blank stares from my friends. I read blogs because I enjoy the interaction with other readers.
carolsnotebook at yahoo dot com
I read book blogs in order to find out about new books, new genres and new trends.
I also like to read someone else's opinion on a book I have read.
eva.s.black[@]gmail[.]com
Congrats on reaching 400 followers! And thanks for making this international.
I blog and read other blogs because reading is my all time favourite thing to do. I love books, and sharing that with others - I don't know, it just makes me happy. And reading other blogs where so many other people are like me...it makes me feel better I guess, knowing that I'm not alone in being completely book crazy and obsessed :P.
planetprint8(at)gmail(dot)com
I read blogs to get more insight into books, food, photography, well everything really. Other people's opinions do matter and I seek them out.
freda.mans[at]sympatico.ca
Congrats on the milestone!
Congratulations!
And really. You are TOO good to us :)
I have and read blogs because it makes me feel like a part of something huge. There are so many people out there who know SO much about books, and writing, and EVERYTHING. If I didn't traverse the blogosphere, I would never learn even a fraction of what I learn about what I love. And it's huge, to feel connected like this. I have friends in Texas and Newfoundland and even across the ocean! I can't imagine not meeteing, or keeping in touch with these people :D

Thanks for the giveaway ^^
I have a blog because of my need to share my love of books with the world! My friends don't read the same kind of books so I have no one to talk about them to =(
TyngaUF(a)gmail.com
Thank you for this! wow!
Oh uhm, I love getting to know more interesting or amazing books through book blogs :D The reviews and the fun memes, and sometimes the fun interview with authors or characters! :D
feeyonachan at gmail dot com
Congrats on getting (over) 400 followers! woohoo!
I keep a blog because it gives me a way to keep track of my reading and to connect with other bloggers. I also like decorating it ;p
I follow blogs because I get to find awesome new books and read awesome things about awesome people. Not in a creepy way, of course.
ecaramil at gmail dot com
I blog because I want to broaden my mind and just because I don't really have friends to talk about books I love to read. And the best thing is, I know loads of books that's need to be read, thousands of friends that don't judge me, I can even say hi to authors that I don't even read their books yet, so many fun things to participate and the list could go on. One crucial fact is, I love to blog and read blogs. And yes, I have chance to enter so many great giveaways like yours even I know that it will be a slim chance to win. LOL. But really, thanks for hosting the giveaway and I am swooning for the prizes!
darlyn225 at gmail dot com
Congratulations for hitting 400+. Hope you'll have more!
i guess for the same reason you do; its awesome to have all these like-minded people within reach.
danielleeloko78@aol.com
I like to read blogs to learn about new books, find out which ones aren't worth my time, and, of course, to win free stuff. : )
probablyreading(at)gmail(dot)com
I blog for the community. I love having in-depth book discussions that I can't have with anyone else. Another great thing that I didn't really expect is finding out about a lot of amazing books that I never would have read had it not been for blogging, reading book blogs, and participating in reading challenges.
smartin_90(AT)yahoo(DOT)com
I read blogs to find out about new books and authors and to get recommendations.
bacchus76 at myself dot com
Congrats!
I read blogs because the good people that run these blogs-such as yourself- know about new books before people in the general public. If I didn't come here, I wouldn't be able to fulfil my insatiable desire for books, books, books!
k_anon[at]hotmail[dot]co[dot]uk
congrats!!
I myself have a review blog because I like talking about books and I read other book blogs to learn about more books I can talk about ;-p
(email in profile)
Congrats on hitting #400 followers--402 by my check as I type this. :)
I started blogging originally as a way to have an online writing journal, and over time it morphed into a blog dedicated to dark fiction in books, film, and my own.
e-mail: rabidfox(at)ymail.com
Side-note: That book, Marbury Lens, looks cool as heck. I'll have to put that on the wish list if I don't wind up the lucky winner.
I am in love with this giveaway. I love blogging because it gives me a reason to talk about things I love. I like reading blogs because I find so many amazing things!! And it's fun to be part of a community.

I blog and read book blogs because I am a teacher and want to stay abreast of what's being read and discussed. I started this adventure to model online book-ish habits for my students, but this has turned into so much more! I'm officially addicted and loving it!
mrsderaps @ hotmail . com
I like to blog and read other's blogs because I love books. It's cliche, but it's true. I love finding out about new books, I love shiny covers, and I love getting good book recomendations.
Congratulations! :D I read blogs to discover new books, new recipes and sometime it happens to make new friends! It's just amazing!
Thank you for this great giveaway and again congratulations! Your blog is very lovely and I hope you get many more followers!:D

I blog and read blogs to connect with people that love reading as much as I do. Finding authors to network with was an unexpected treat. I would be so lost without my online friends.

C. I was a blog following maniac before I became a blogger. I just love reading people's thoughts about something we share in common.
Congratulations!
I read blogs mostly to keep up with new book news. For various reasons, I pretty much stopped reading except for school a few years ago, and I just started reading for fun again the past few months. Blogs have been a fun and easy way for me to catch up on the things I've missed and find exciting new things to read.
texas_gal45(at)hotmail(dot)com
yay for things that happen in the dark hours of the night. and yay for 400+ followers! and also, this give-away is pretty HUGE!

naomirees27 @ gmail . com
Thanks for the great contest and congrats on 400 followers! I have a blog because, basically, I make my friends read books all the time. I am a total book pusher, so I thought why not book push online as well. I read blogs to build a community and add books to my every growing to-be-read shelf!
kaitlynkline[at]gmail[dot]com
holy cow batman - now this is a contest. A gift card to book depository - thats several months allowance!
I like book blogs because I find out new books that I would otherwise not look at.
I like to blog about books because I can talk as long as I want about them and no one rolls their eyes at me. ;)
kjovus(at)gmail(dot)com
I read blogs because I love books. It's as simple as that. Bloggers provide all the newest updates on the newest books, reviews and their opinions, and fun, interactive posts. Although I don't always have time to comment on every blog I go to, I do enjoy reading the posts because they're very interesting and I love how bloggers take the time to write a blog for others' benefit. Congrats on the followers and thanks for the giveaway!
ekta.p7 [at] gmail [dot] com
Thanks for the chance to win such a generous giveaway! I love the book depository so I love when contests include them.
I like book blogs because I find out about new books and the comment section provides a forum to discuss the book reviewed or the literary issue brought up. Though I don't "blog" per se, I write reviews of books on places like Goodreads. Authors pack spend so much time crafting their stories that sometimes, there's even more to talk about. Although it's not one of my favorite works, James Joyce's Dubliners contained stories that entire books have been written on. I love that the internet provides a way for everyday readers to share their thoughts, opinions, and emotions that books evoke.
Thanks again for the chance to win!
melodiousrevelry (at) gmail (dot) com
GREAT contest! Thanks so much!
I read book blogs because I like to read the reviews. I like hearing other's points of view on books before I buy them, especially if I'm iffy about one. Also, obviously, contests are cool.
Thanks again!
dancer_girl76(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
Congrats on 400 followers! I don't have my own blog but I love reading others because I just love books! I find so many new and interesting books and authors through blogs. Thanks for the giveaway!
linaramz at yahoo dot com
I have a book blog because I happened to stumble across one and think, "Hey, that looks like fun and like something I could do." And that was that. I started one. I already wrote these small reviews of books I read and was keeping them in a composition notebook. Granted my reviews are way better now than they used to be but I really just love knowing that people actually care what I think. Plus I get to talk to so many awesome people about one of the things I love most. Books.
Congrats on hitting 400 followers and thanks for the contest!

Woot congrats! You deserve double that for all your awesomeness my friend. :)
I blog for the community and to share my love of books. I read blogs so I can keep up to date with people I've grown to know through their blogs and what they're enjoying reading as of late.

I have a blog because I love to read and give my opinions about those books....Also I discovered it's a great way to make friends with the same interests as you.
magabygc(@)gmail.com
I don't have a blog because I live in a rural area and getting broadband access is very difficult.
I read blog for a number of reasons.
I find new authors that way.
I read reviews on blogs to give me a feel for what a book is about and how good it is. (they are more impartial than pulishers or professional reviewers)
And of course I love to enter contest and win books !
This is really a grand giveaway. I could probably get 4 or 5 books for $40 !
Thanks.

lilazncutie1215[at]yahoo[dot]com
I like to read book blogs because basically it is where I really get to know what the books are really about, considering I never got any ARC's or won any giveaways. That's another reason i keep reading book blogs, i continue to search on how did they get all the ARC's which have not come out and which I have to burn my pocket hole for. :) this is just another attempt of mine to win those books (especially personal demons). :)
Praises for 400 over (and counting) followers, [it is truly hard to reach that honorable amount]
regards:
maidenhealer@hotmail.com
Initially, I blogged because nobody around me would like to hear me ranting about books that I loved. In fact, no one surrounding me likes to talk about books - at all. So, I thought that keeping a blog gives me a channel to pour my thoughts on something that I truly loved while at the same time, helping me improve my English (well, hopefully!). Little did I know that after months of blogging, I meet numbers of remarkable friends and for the first time I know how easy it is to be in touch with authors. I feel that I fit in this community and I know I won't be leaving anytime soon!
Congratulations on hitting the magical 400 numbers, Cecelia. I am pretty sure that there are TONNES more to come after this!
Thank you so much =)

Congrats on the followers, you deserve them all!
I started blogging before I really read blogs, I had a friend who started doing it and because she seemed to be having so much fun I decided to give it a try as well. I haven't looked back. What keeps me blogging is wonderful bloggers like you who inspire me every day to keep blogging and reading.
Thanks for the giveaway.
fforgnayr@yahoo.com
I have a blog to spread my love for books! I read blogs to find the latest new releases, and what other good books I can bury my nose in.
xicecreamsjx@aol.com
Thanks!!
I read blogs because they're funny or useful or interesting or helpful (depending on the type of blog!). I like book blogs, especially ones with lots of reviews, because I like to read a few non-spoilery reviews before I buy a book myself!
As for why I blog, it's either to share a good book I've found (or warn people off a really bad book), or just to share my thoughts about life in general. I'm often pretty quiet in real life, but I do like to write out my thoughts, even if no-one reads them - I guess to some extent it's my diary. :)
Thanks for the giveaway!

It's Just Life As I Know It
I read blogs because it inspires me to be more creative, or to not be a wuss. That sounded really cheesy, but it's true! Without Pioneer Woman, I wouldn't have found a perfect chocolate cake recipe that I can change to be half fat. Without 1000 Awesome Things, I wouldn't remind myself to enjoy something every day. Without this blog, I wouldn't have books to add to my reading list, or peanut butter cup toffee chunk cookies to drool over. Without blogs, I am a bit more bored and boring.
chau_1026(@)yahoo(.)com

I blog as a way to keep track of the books I read. Well, that was the original reason but now I do it because I love it! I love making my blog "look pretty" by updating it daily. It is my hobby.

jlelliott08 [at] gmail [dot] com
Thanks for the giveaway!!
LOL. My reason for having a blog is kind of silly but here it goes: the very reason why I created a blog was to have more chances of winning a signed ARC of this upcoming book I was really, really looking forward to. They +10pts for those who make an actual blogpost of the giveaway. So there you go. Oh, I didn't win the giveaway, btw. But anyway, since then, blogging grew on me so I up til now, I'm still blogging. And not only about giveaways lmao
royce_a13 @ yahoo.com
I started reading book blogs so I could keep up with what books were getting good reviews and what books were dnf's. I continued because I not only found out about great reads but also because I loved being part of a community of readers. I've found it more and more difficult to discover anyone who even reads books in my "off-line" life.
Thanks for the great giveaway and congrats!

I blog because I just love being able to discuss books with others and find new friends who love reading just as much as I do, and I read other blogs because I love finding out about new (and amazing!) books that I didn't know about prior.
laurenscrammedbookshelf@gmail.com
i blog because i get to share with people who have similar interests... i love being able to compare and get encouragement and new ideas from them. it's also addicting, and i don't think that many people in the non-blogging community 'get it.'
love you, and great giveaway (and seriously, no surprise regarding the 400 follower mark!)

I started blogging because everyone around started rolling their eyes when I stared gabbing about my books. I love sharing my finds and discovering new ones.

I originally started reading blogs just to see what other bloggers did. Then I got addicted to them. I love to find out which books are hot!
Congrats on reaching a milestone. And thanks for the great contest.

Wow, great prize! Congratulations on 400 followers, too! I am a follower.
I don't have a blog, but I'm always visiting book blogs every day. I like to find out about books I would have never heard of otherwise. Plus, none of the people I know read books, so it's nice to go online and see there are lots of people out there that love books like I do.
peacelily_2006(at)yahoo(dot)com
I am dying to read Personal Demons! Thanks for such a great giveaway. I run my own blog and read blogs because I have a passion for books and it helps provide an outlet for me.

Thanks

Well, first I want to tell you that design of this blog really rox.
I write blog because:
* I like to express myself in english
* I like others to see what I think of books and book life ;)
I read blogs because:
* They are interesting
* I like to read other opinions on books
* I especially like to read negative comments on books I loved (I know it's weird but I just need to know why they don't love the book I do)
* I like watching different blog designs :)
Book bloggers (and Goodreads) provide just what I need - new fantastic books to read. If it weren't for you guys I would never pick up and fall in love with Unwind by Neal Shusterman or The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, because I wouldn't even know this books exist. Sad but true :) So thank you! Really!
BTW, thanks for making the giveaway international! :)

I blog, read, and troll other blogs because meeting others who share your passion for words, stories and characters is just as sweet if not sweeter than discovering books that shake you to the core, because now you can share that passion with others who feel the same as you do

why does anyone? (read book blogs) because they're about books and books are my life.
sounds melodramatic, but true nonetheless
gemma_col@hotmail.com
I honestly cannot imagine myself with my nose not stuck in the pages of a book in my spare time. I read because I love to, because reading and writing about the experience of reading are my way of life.
As to why I read book blogs: probably because I get to know wonderful people who are just like me and feel like a part of a readers' community. Besides, who will recommend nice books to me if I didn't read blogs? :)

Sorry, my email address is aprilxu2222@gmail.com
I love blogs because you get an unbiased opinion about something you normally wouldn't hear from the PR and Marketing departments (for the most part). I occasionally blog because it's a great way to rant without actually going at it face to face with someone.
Thanks for doing this!
christine.dunbar@gmail.com
I'm kind of addicted to book review sites. I think part of the reason I love them so much is the sense of community it gives me, of people who like the same kind of books I do. I also love being able to discover books I never would have on my own. Nowadays I also use them to filter the super amazing amount of books out there so that I can focus on books I'll most likely like, rather than have to read through books I won't.

This is a definitely an amazing contest, and thanks for having it :)
Well I started a blog originally because I was in a bloggy mood...not sure if that makes sense, but I just had a strong urge to make a blog, so I did. I don't really post much, and when I do now, it's mostly to share info about contests, that way if someone stumbles upon it, at least they have the chance of winning some free goodies :)
I follow and read blogs to find new books, by reading reviews or through contests, which is another reason I read them. Who doesn't love free stuff :) I also follow some to hear about what authors are up to.
And I think that's all :)
Thanks for having the contest, you're gonna make one winner a very happy individual!

I read because I can read opinions from other people
Awesome giveaway! I have a blog so I can share my thoughts and love of books with others that love to read like me, I also love to read other blogs to find new books and read reviews on some that I might be interested in. =)

Follower via GFC, and I read blogs for a variety of reasons. I enjoy some of the quick glimpses of life from the various posters, I read most of the reviews of books since I am an avid reader, and some of the reviews of goods. The giveaways are a nice bonus, and I have been introduced to several very nice companies that way.

I read blogs because I like to find out other people's opinions about books so I can better decide if I want to read a particular book and if it's worth buying. I also like to read blogs to become aware of new books that are coming out that I probably wouldn't have heard of otherwise.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Well I read blogs because I get to hear what people think about certain books or what the latest book buzz is, there are also a lot of fun people to talk to and most of us are addicted to twitter.
I write on my blog because I like to have an outlet for my book madness or if I want to write down a review. I just started blogging, so hopefully I can expand and learn more as I go.
Great giveaway! Congrats on the followers!

I just made a blog not too long ago because my husband's in a Navy and in a month I'll be moving to Hawaii. I figured a blog would be the best way to let people know what I'm up to!
