FIVE Blogoversary Year Celebration! - Today is May 6, 2016, and there are exactly five years I made my first blog post on scriptural, which is a little amazing. I never imagined the blog would reach so many people, and I doubt not imagine that it lasts five years, and yet we are here and it's all thanks to you guys. Whether the first post you read here in scriptural, or the 918th post, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Every year I like to do a celebration with a gift for you bunch of beautiful people, and this year is no exception! But because this is the first year I actually have a book to give, I thought it would be extra fun to give both critical and books. This year we nineteen critical and sixteen pounds to win, so if you are a writer or a reader (or both!) There's a lot for you to win!
how it will work: critics will each go to another person (this is nineteen winners!), While books will all go to the only person in a large batch of books (twenty giveaway winners in total). The book gift is US-only, but criticism of the international gifts.
Here the generous super publishers and authors who have given exceptional price for you guys:
