I’m having a cranky few days. My solution to this is always to turn to a giveaway to cheer myself up. I’ve included a photo below of a portion of the prizes, which is a large selection of the books I received via conference bags at BEA, RT and RWA. The bags pictured also have a bunch of swag in them, so you’re only seeing the book portion of the giveaway but I promise the swag is things that are actually useful, not a bunch of paper swag!

Entering is easy, I’m using Rafflecopter this time. You get the most entries for doing the toughest thing: giving someone a random compliment to brighten their day. As an aside, I always welcome random compliments, but pick someone other than me, eh? If you want to tweet at me and tell me if you decided to compliment, that will be cheer enough for me!

But for those of you who aren’t comfortable giving random compliments, well, first, get over it! But you also get the option of entering by following on Twitter or tweeting or posting on Facebook about the giveaway.

Just choose the options below in Rafflecopter to enter. You can get up to 10 entries. Good luck!

Contest is open to those in the US only. I’m sorry, I know that’s awful for those of you internationally, and while I normally do make my contests international, the time, labor and cost involved in customs forms, having to list each item separately, and shipping internationally would actually only make me more cranky, defeating the purpose of the contest. I’ll catch you guys next time around!

Contest closes August 23 at 12am Eastern.
