Happy 3rd Blogiversary Giveaway!!!

TODAY WORD SPELUNKING IS

3 YEARS OLD!!!

woot woot 

*does happy celebration dance*

Part of me is like "it's REALLY been 3 years already?!" and the other part is all "wait, it's ONLY been 3 years?!". These last three years of bookish blogging have been awesome! I've read some incredible books, made some loverly blogging buds, met some fabulous authors/publishers/bookish people, and I even owe my current job to blogging...I guess blogging has been purdy good to me! And, while maintaining Word Spelunking isn't always easy or fun (that's when blog breaks come in handy!), I have loved every moment of it! I don't know if Word Spelunking will still be here three years from now, but I surely hope so. 

Now to celebrate three grand years and to thank all you fabby-fab cupcakes, I have an awesome giveaway for y'all...
