Happy New Year 2012 Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Happy New Year 2012 Giveaway Hop!  It is hosted by Kathy of I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Babs from Babs Book Bistro.  The Giveaway Hop runs from December 30th to January 3rd.  Don't forget to check out the linky below and stop by the over 200 blogs that are participating in this Giveaway Hop.  Great way to ring in the New Year!

To celebrate the New Year, I want to help support everyone's reading goals.  Are you participating in the Newbery Challenge hosted by teacher extraordinaire Colby Sharp and super teacher/librarian Mr. Schu?  Maybe you decided on the Caldecott Challenge hosted by LibLaura5 and A to Z Library?  Or I know many of you often participate in the Debut Author Challenge hosted by Kristi, The Story Siren.  Whatever reading challenge you have set for yourself, I want to help support you by providing you with a book or audiobook that you can use towards your challenge.

Here is the Giveaway:

One lucky winner will receive a book (from Amazon or Book Depository) or an audiobook (Audible) worth $15 or less.  International participants are only eligible for the book (if someone knows if Audible can be gifted internationally, I am happy to consider that option too).  The book or audiobook must be specifically related to a challenge.

My Twitter buddies and fellow educators - Donalyn Miller and Colby Sharp started a new blog recently called the Nerdy Book Club Blog.  Other educators, librarians, and book people have been contributing guest posts.  They have been a lot of fun to read.  Recently, they even held the Nerdy Book Club Awards.  

But they didn't stop there. They also started a Café Press store.  There is lots of cool stuff in the Nerdy Book Club Store and what is wonderful is that the proceeds from the store go to RIF (Reading Is Fundamental).  For my Mid-Winter's Eve Giveaway, one lucky participant has a chance to win up to $20 in Nerdy Book Club merchandise from the Café Press Store.  Here is a sample of one of the items over at the Nerdy Book Club Store:

Wouldn't this be a great mug to sip your favorite beverage while reading from your TBR pile or checking out the blog posts written by various Nerdy Book Club Members over on the Nerdy Book Club Blog?
