400 follower contest! Show me your shelves! *ENDED*

CONTEST CLOSED
Hello my wonderful, lovely followers!  I want to thank each and every one of you who follows me and especially those who find the time to comment on my posts! 
I've reached 400 (421 today!) followers and I've decided to do a fun and unique giveaway.
The first winner will get to pick TWO of the books below.  IF reach 450 followers (I did it!) I'll add a second winner to pick one of the remaining books.  If I reach 475 (Yay! Got there too!) I'll pick a third winner to get the remaining book.  IF I get to 500 followers before August 15th I'll throw in another book! (Or maybe a GC!)- UPDATE: I'm only a few away from 600!  I'm throwing in a $10 amazon GC! 
Wake (Wake Series, Book 1)GracelingThe Adoration of Jenna FoxGoing Bovine 

So how do you enter?
Well, this is the fun part!

Take pictures of your bookshelves, your book storage, wherever you store your books!
Make a post on your blog, tell them about this contest and post your pictures.  Then come back here and leave the link and a way to contact you.
Don't have a blog? You can still participate!  Post on facebook, twitter or wherever you wish as long as you can leave a link for me to see your pictures!
Don't care to take a picture of your bookshelves?  Maybe your not able to keep books right now because your away at school or something.  You can still enter!  Find pictures on the internet of cool bookshelves, libraries and anything book related.  Either post on your blog or at the very least provide a link to the picture (where ever it may be and comment about it)


Want extra entries?

Keep the pictures coming!  You can post pictures of your own shelves, but if you find or take pictures of more bookshelves, libraries or book related things then I'll add more entries for you.  If you find some later after your initial entry then leave another comment, but be sure to let me know it's another entry and not the initial entry.

    I found this pretty sweet bookshelf. Its a chair, and the shelves are inside and around the chair. That would be pretty convenient to have, cause when you finish abook all you have to do is bend down or turn and bam! theres more books just a short reach away! heres the link to the picture: http://www.beinteriordecorator.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/wooden-chair-bookshelf-by-Fishbol-Design-Atelier.jpg

    i also tweeted: http://twitter.com/wefreadom/status/18631740761 (@wefreadom)

    Hello! Thanks for this awesome giveaway, I'm excited!
    At the moment all my books are scattered along my house in either boxes or shelves I can't reach so I am unable to take a picture.

    I think it would be pretty cool if it was raining books...

    I tweeted: http://twitter.com/lanakapana101/status/18733469297

    The arrangement of the books on this bookshelf is so pretty! I love the blues and greens. It must get a little hard to find what you're looking for though...

    I shared the info about this contest on my blog a couple of weeks ago - HERE, but somehow I keep forgetting to enter it & just realized it ends today.

    I don't have time to take pictures of all of our bookshelves this afternoon, but here is a photo of
    one set of our shelves.

    Thanks for hosting this fun contest! Hope you are having a great weekend! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you'll take the time to leave a comment. I try to reply to comments on here and/or through email (if you have it set so you can get replied to by email) but I'm not ALWAYS able to.

I do not accept awards because I do not have the time to repost. I thank you for considering me and your comments are the best award I could get!
