LDSWBR would like to kick off the “Read ’em All” 2010 Finalists Challenge with another contest.

For every five people who register for the Challenge between now and February 28th, we will draw a name for one of these handy and popular elastic bookmarks. There will be solid silver circles and other more masculine additions (we won’t call them “charms”) for the male participants.

After registering for the Challenge, you can earn extra entries by:

  • + 1 /day – Tweeting (include @ldswbr in your tweet so we can see it)
  • +5 – Blog about joining the Challenge & linking back to the LDSWBR blog (send us the link to your blog post)
  • +2 – Post on Facebook about joining the Challenge (send us the link to your Facebook post)

Please leave a comment letting us know how you entered along with any applicable links, or send an email with the same info to ldswbr (at) gmail (dot) com so we can track all of your entries.

The drawing for the bookmarks will be held on March 1 and winners announced shortly thereafter. We are excited about the “Read ’em All” 2010 Finalists Challenge and hope you are, too. After all, $100 buys a lot of books!

Happy reading and good luck in the Challenge!
