Giveaways!

Welcome to the Armchair BEA's Giveaway Page! 

This is the place to see all the wonderful Giveaways we have planned for this amazing event thanks to our amazing Sponsors!Throughout the event we will be asking participants to create posts related to BEA & BBC topics and events. Each day we will be randomly selecting, from the group of participants for the day, winners who will be able to chose from the Giveaway List.  In addition, we will have special prizes available during the  scheduled Twitter parties.

To avoid confusion, there will also be a day during the week in which participants will be able to host their own Giveaways, on their own sites, and then link up here at the Armchair BEA site. The prizes listed below are separate from that day and will be handled by the admins of Armchair BEA.

Armchair BEA 2010 was such a success that we'd love to have more publishers/publicists/authors/bloggers/etc. participate. If  you would like to donate to the Giveaways for Armchair BEA please contact our Tiffany, the 
Giveaway Chair, at armchairbea {at} gmail {dot} com.

Now, without further ado, let's get to our current list of the 2011 Giveaways . . .
