"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Elisquared's 26th Birthday Giveaway! - NOW INT!



My birthday is a time I take very seriously.  In fact, all of January is declared my birthday month and celebrated as such (no, I am not kidding ; P).  I always want to include as many people as possible in my celebration, but for all my lovely followers I'm offering a gift for one lucky person!  In the spirit of giving (since my birthday is so close to Christmas) I thought what better way is there than the gift of books?

Therefore I am giving away a gift card to Amazon for $50US.  The giveaway starts today, January 5th and ends on my physical birthday, January 20th.  And make sure to check out my Birthday Wish List coming up for some ideas on how to spend that $50.

All you need to do is enter the Rafflecoptor below, be at least 13 years of age, and have a valid email address (oh and make sure you have an Amazon.com account).

  3. I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

    My favorite 2013 book... it's so hard to choose just one but for some reason Prodigy and Champion come to mind first and since they both came out in 2013 I am grouping them together. lol

    In 2014 there are so many I want to read but right now I am going to go with Dorothy Must Die!

  12. Happy Birthday. Btw, why can't amazon giftcards be used in other countries? As long as you have an account with amazon.com. I live in Canada and use amazon.com all the time and have received many giftcards and used them.

    1. Maybe I misinterpreted their terms and conditions, but when I was reading over the usage on Amazon.com for giftcards, it said that use on any other amazon affiliate is not allowed. I guess I interpreted that to mean that other countries couldn't use giftcards from Amazon.com. I may be mistaken, but I'd rather know for sure that the person who's winning the giftcard can actually use it.

    2. Non US folks can use Amazon gift cards too. I'm from Sri Lanka and have used gift cards before. As long as you have an amazon.com account, you're good to go. Can INT folks enter too please? Oh BTW, Happy Birthday!!!
