Colorimetry and I am a Reader, Not a Writer are hosting a

Lazy Days of Summer *Spontaneous* Hop!  

Make sure to check out the other sites so you can enter to win other great prizes.

Here at Musings, we are giving away a new copy of

Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave

The Passage meets Ender’s Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

Summer GiveAway Hop

My First GiveAway!  I am quite excited!  I hope all of you are enjoying the 'Hop'!  I know what I will be doing in my down time... when I can grab a few minutes here and there!

Prize #1 Market/Book Bag


This hand-crocheted Market Bag would be Perfect to take to the Library to pick up those new books to read!  Made out of 100% Cotton yarn (with a few animal hairs accidentally crocheted in), it has a sturdy bottom and mesh sides with nice handles.

Approximately 11" x 14" - chair not included!
This Prize is for those who are NOT perfectionists, 
and who have NO dog or cat allergies!

Prize #2 - The Wizard, The Witch and Two Girls from Jersey

A Fun YA book where two girls who couldn't be more opposite get stuck in a fantasy story.  This book has been gently used.

Prize #3 - Peacock Pride & Prejudice Tote

Brought back from England's Jane Austen Centre in Bath!

My giveaway will be quite simple.  I have a few items to give away, and all you need to do is Comment!  Comment on the site, if you'd like (hopefully you can stay a while and check it out!).  Comment on your favorite book (if you look at my GoodReads pile, I am ALWAYS adding to it), as I am always looking for something new to try.  Maybe you have a comment on a story I wrote, or a comment on how to Complete some of my Challenges (psst... I could use some help with my 2011 Challenge... or if you have a great Historical to recommend to help me with my Addiction).


As I mentioned, this one is simple.  Please comment (on whatever) and let me know which Prize you would prefer.  Like many others, I will let a randomizer choose (and, NO, it won't be our cat... he is way too indifferent for that!) the lucky winners!  Make sure I have a current e-mail, so I can contact you.  Basic rules apply...if you don't respond within 72 hours, I will choose another lucky soul in your place!

Have fun Hoppin' Along.  Most importantly....Enjoy what's left of Summer!
