Five Year Blogoversery Giveaway Winner!

Geoff W

2015 07-27 Giveaway WinnersWell I’m glad some of you got it together enough to fill out the super easy raffle to win $25 😛 I mean it’s FREE money basically and Amazon sells everything! But kidding aside I’m glad to share something in honor of my five years of blogging at The Oddness of Moving Things.

I’m not sure what either of the winners will pick, but they have diverse interests (outside of reading – shock and horror right?) and I couldn’t be happier to pass along a bit of my blogging happiness and mojo in the form of my five-year giveaway. The two winners are… Click here to find out.

Top 5 Moments in Year 5 (And some stats)

Geoff W

2015 07-16 Top 5 in Year 5I didn’t plan to do a separate post, but I wanted the last post to be focused on thanking the people who comment most and my five-year blogoversery giveaway. So I pulled this half and threw it into a separate post. Plus I got to make a few more graphics 😀

The top portion is the top five things from June 2014 to June 2015 that I felt were highlights of my blogging journey. I tried not to go into too much detail, but I wanted to include enough so that if you’re visiting for the first time you’ve got an idea of what my entire blog is about.

Five Years and Still F*cking Fabulous (+ A Giveaway)

Geoff W

2015 07-12 Five Year GiveawayYou’ll have to forgive the swear in the title, but I wanted something light to introduce the post! I’m still in shock over continuously blogging for five years! That first half-year back in 2010 was a bit dodgy, but since then I’ve stayed pretty true and consistent to my blogging and reading passions.

Obviously I couldn’t have done this without you, my lovely blog readers and friends. We’ve spent FIVE YEARS hanging out. Many of you I’ve met via book blogging and many of my friends I’ve dragged screaming and kicking into this world (mostly through Come Read with Me). I want to give a special thank you to the top six most recent commenters, based on the 1000 most recent comments. You all really make me want to keep talking about the books and the things that I love:

Of course there are others and I truly appreciate every comment, share and like, but these people are some of the best out there! Now on to what most of you will be here for, my pay-it-forward Five Year Giveaway!

The Literary Others – Giveaway – Winners!

Geoff W

And here they are, the winners of the first ever The Oddness of Moving Things giveaway!

There were only nine entries for both prizes (I know you’re all hanging your heads in shame for not entering…such good odds). Six for the Amazon gift certificate and three for the Book Depository books.

I used random.org to select the winners and they were #3 for the Amazon gift certificate, who just happened to be the awesome Heather at Between the Covers, who I know is going to buy books that I’m just going to end up having to buy; and oddly enough random.org chose #3 a second time (1-3 instead of 1-6) and the winner was Beth of Too Fond who selected The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Boy Meets Boy, BOTH of which I desperately want to read!

Congratulations to the two winners and thanks to everyone who entered! I can’t wait to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Check back tomorrow for my post response to Damian McNicholl’s A Son Called Gabriel.

The Literary Others – Giveaway!

Geoff W

And here it is – The Oddness of Moving Things very first giveaway! I’ve been debating on doing a giveaway ever since I reached 100 followers on WordPress, 1000 comments (a lot are my own) and for surpassing my 60 book Goodreads goal. Luckily they all roughly coincided with the awesome October LGBT Reading Event hosted by Adam at Roof Beam Reader! I hope that you’ll use the giveaways to purchase an LGBT related book, but it’s not a requirement. If you’d like a suggestion I’m sure I could provide one or two (or a hundred) for you. So without further ado, the announcement, the rules and the form are below…
