Leap into Books Giveaway Hop!

It’s Leap Day everyone!  I’ve got a fun giveaway for you as part of the Leap into Books giveaway hop hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & Jinky is Reading.

Check out the other 200+ blogs participating in this hop!

In my giveaway, you could win a $15 Amazon Gift card

OR

$15 at The Book Depository for any book you like (as long as they ship to you.  Check here)

For those of you just hopping along, you can click the free entry and be on your way.  Following is not required, but it will bring you good karma :)  I have RSS, email subscription, Twitter, Facebook and Goodreads all over there with pretty buttons on the top of my sidebar—>

For those of you who want extra entries I have a little game for you!

The Optional Awesome Game

I have taken five book titles and changed each word to be the exact opposite of what it was before (as best as I can).  Your job is to figure out what the original title was.  Here’s an example:

Servant of the Necklace

is really

Lord of the Rings

I know.  That one was pretty bad.  But here are the other five for you to figure out! I hope you have fun!!

  1. Aunt Theresa’s Castle
  2. Here with the Breeze
  3. Of Rats and Women
  4. Scared Old Local
  5. The Green Word

    This was fun.. it took me a minute to process and figure them out but I’m still stumped on 5… I think I need a color wheel to figure out the opposite of green!

      Opposite colors are called complementary colors if that helps :) They often go well together….
