Up For Grabs is moving!!The response to the new site in the last 24 hours has been very, very positive and so <em>Up For Grabs</em> will be moving to WP. The official move date is <strong>9/1/08</strong>.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">New site link: </span><a href="http://upforgrabs.wordpress.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">Up For Grabs</span></a><br /><br />Until then I will post August giveaways at both sites and September giveaways only at the WP site.<br /><br />I know it's a pain to update links, blog rolls and readers and for this I apologize but the move is a good thing. Because I'm using pages at WP and not standard blog posts you will have to subscribe to the <strong>Comments feed for each giveaway page</strong> to receive updates. It's the only solution I could come up with. If you're experienced WP user and have a better idea please let me know though I'm not inclined to move from pages to posts.Marciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08944616126641329920noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583435446449117896.post-54077153459747005702008-08-04T11:14:00.005-06:002008-08-04T14:21:13.137-06:00It's Your Turn to Let Me Know...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5YH431On3U8ctnOdv_cMgHtAxCmboOeH2dLH9wTXRt8R4-JWmMjY4uDSwzR22ZybgbwLxkKF-BbaiyFZHqK1CjUc8WhtQzxtGNAmny02d_KD_zEm84vB20KORyOQeGqfhyphenhyphenKoXp98tiI4/s1600-h/question+mark.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230715941973224994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5YH431On3U8ctnOdv_cMgHtAxCmboOeH2dLH9wTXRt8R4-JWmMjY4uDSwzR22ZybgbwLxkKF-BbaiyFZHqK1CjUc8WhtQzxtGNAmny02d_KD_zEm84vB20KORyOQeGqfhyphenhyphenKoXp98tiI4/s200/question+mark.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: hand; text-align: center;" /></a><br />
<br />
I need you all to weigh in and help me make a decision. This site exists because you all support it so your thoughts and opinions matter to me. No <em>Up For Grabs</em> isn't disappearing I'm staying right here kind of. I'm committed to this site just not my web host. And that's where you all come in. My frustration level with Blogger is growing daily after having moved my personal book blog, <a href="http://printedpage.wordpress.com/">The Printed Page</a>, and starting a <a href="http://marciasbcblog.com/">book club and ARC blog</a> over at WordPress. It may be that Blogger is experiencing some growing pains right now and that I don't need. I've been using Blogger in Draft and the old Blogger and neither fit where I'm at with this site.<br />
<br />
Wordpress has one feature that would, I feel, would enhance <em>Up For Grabs</em> and definitely make managing the site easier. The big draw to WP for this site is the <strong>Pages</strong> feature. Each month would have it's own page for giveaway listings. Instead of a blog post you would select the appropriate monthly page. Posting comments is much easier and more efficient. I don't think that pages have RSS feeds so you wouldn't be able to get updates that way which is a drawback but one I can't do much about if <em>Up For Grabs</em> relocates.<br />
<br />
<font size="4">New site link is </font><a href="http://upforgrabs.wordpress.com/"><font size="4">Up For Grabs</font></a> (this is the wordpress link)<br />
<br />
If all goes as planned there may be a new home for Up For Grabs soon.<br />
<br />
Please leave your comments, suggestions, concerns and opinions either here or over at the new site.<br />
<br />
Take care,<br />

Rober J. Wiersema<br />
St. Martin's Press, 2007 (Hardback, not an ARC)<br />
320 pages<br />
I received this book from <a href="http://www.readinggroupgold.com/">Reading Group Gold</a> at <a href="http://us.macmillan.com/SMP.aspx">St. Martin's Press</a><br />
<br />
<em>From Amazon:</em> In this impressive debut, Wiersema crafts an intelligent, contemplative supernatural thriller replete with well-rounded characters, artless dialogue and a plot that, while imbued with the unexplained, develops organically, revealing its secrets at just the right pace. In the novel's opening pages, three-year-old Sherry Barrett, an only child, is rendered comatose in a hit and run accident. What follows could have been a typical thriller full of cartoonish villains and escalating peril; it also could have been a treacly fairy tale about God's miraculous healing power. Happily, Wiersema steers clear of these well-traveled roads and, by way of multiple first-person narratives, tells an engrossing story of flawed but genuinely good people who must bear up under the stress of loss, betrayal, unwarranted miracles and unconventional spiritual warfare. Particularly well-imagined is the purgatory of sorts that Henry, the truck driver, must endure after he fails to come forward after the accident. Reminiscent of Wim Wenders's film Wings of Desire, Henry's nature, longings and environs paint a poignant picture of souls in need of redemption. While some readers may find one of the novel's final revelations less original than the rest of the story, Wiersema gets nearly everything else right, and the result is an engaging, emotionally resonant read.<br />

This book has a September release date so win it here and be one of the first to read it before everyone else.<br />
<br />
<br />
<em>Amazon description</em>: Martha Carrier was one of the first women to be accused, tried and hanged as a witch in Salem, Massachusetts. Like her mother, young Sarah Carrier is bright and willful, openly challenging the small, brutal world in which they live. Often at odds with one another, mother and daughter are forced to stand together against the escalating hysteria of the trials and the superstitious tyranny that led to the torture and imprisonment of more than 200 people accused of witchcraft. This is the story of Martha's courageous defiance and ultimate death, as told by the daughter who survived.Kathleen Kent is a tenth generation <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">descendant</span> of Martha Carrier. She paints a haunting portrait, not just of Puritan New England, but also of one family's deep and abiding love in the face of fear and persecution.<br />

Being a bit slow in the blogging world I'm not the fastest at catching on to things even though they might be staring right at me. Just last week I registered <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">UFG</span> at 2 different blog subscription services. For me it was one of those "who knew?'" kinda deals. I've haven't heard back from <a href="http://www.blogged.com/">Blogged</a> yet but I got a little thrill when I went back to visit <a href="http://www.technorati.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Technorati</span></a> yesterday. I was searching under blogs using book giveaways just to see if <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">UFG</span> would pop. Not only did it pop, it popped on the 1st page and the 3rd listed blog! So maybe this will give the site a little push. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Favs</span> button next the listing was looking very lonely as no one at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Technorati</span> loves us, yet that is, so I added it as a favorite to my other registered blog, <a href="http://printedpage.blogspot.com/">The Printed Page</a>. If you stop by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Technorati</span> and find the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">UFG</span> blog and enjoy this site please add us as a favorite. Thank You!!<br /><br />Still more news: I know some of you must be winning these giveaways posted at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">UFG</span> as the listings are starting to increase and, really, who can pass up the chance at getting a free book. So, if you've won a book in giveaway, gotten an ARC or two or three in the mail or even gotten a book from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.bookmooch.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">BookMooch</span></a>, <a href="http://www.paperbackswap.com/index.php"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">PaperBackSwap</span></a> or <a href="http://www.bookins.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Bookins</span></a> or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">somewehere</span> else <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">I'ved</span> started a book event at <em>The Printed Page</em> called <a href="http://printedpage.blogspot.com/2008/07/mailbox-monday.html">Mailbox Monday</a> (this link takes you to Monday's post). Come on over let us know what gems you've gotten in the mail in the last week. Share the wealth. Make the rest of us just a teeny bit jealous that it was you and not us that got the one we really wanted. I'll be doing this every Monday. Just from the 2 posts this week I've already added one new book to my ever growing Amazon wish list.<br /><br />Lastly, I'm going to starting hosting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">UFG</span> sponsored book giveaways. Just a bit of shameless site promotion. I have a small and growing pile of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">ARCs</span> and other books that are in need of good homes. Once my book giveaway of <a href="http://printedpage.blogspot.com/search/label/Up%20For%20Grabs">Apples and Oranges, My Brother and Me, Lost and Found</a> by Marie Brenner at <em>The Printed Page </em>ends I'm going to host giveaways here. There will be a bonus besides the book. If you link either the book giveaway or the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">UFG</span> site in your entry comment for the current book giveaway I'll throw in a $15 Amazon email certificate.<br /><br />Have a great day everyone,<br />MarciaMarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08944616126641329920noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583435446449117896.post-71454713862585023912008-07-11T15:04:00.001-06:002008-07-18T12:51:33.291-06:00So Maybe I'm Rethinking My Decision ... Smiles All Around<strong><em>7/12 late PM</em></strong><br />So I've been reading blogs and looking for giveaways and I believe <em>Up For Grabs</em> is up to date. Better go check out July and August. I didn't include links here but they're only a post or down from this one.<br /><br /><em><strong>7/12 early evening</strong></em><br />So many of you have written in the last 2 days that I'm starting to seriously rethink my decision to "abandon" <em>Up For Grabs</em>. It really did, and still continues to feel, like I'm reinventing the wheel but maybe this is one wheel that needs to be reinvented. I'll admit I'm torn and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">continually</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">waffle</span> back and forth. The email in support of <em>Up For Grabs</em> has been more than I expected.<br /><br />So ... with that said ... I'm back for now. I make a promise, to you, to give it until I leave for my winter vacation at the end of November. At least until then giveaways and contests will be posted here.<br /><br />Now I've made the job ever harder for myself ~ why would I do anything the easy way ~ I'll figure out how to get the word out there again.<br /><br />I know I've missed some giveaways over the last couple days but I'll try to catch up!!<br /><br />Take care,<br />MarciaMarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08944616126641329920noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583435446449117896.post-30965736591004248112008-07-10T21:32:00.000-06:002008-07-12T15:26:44.072-06:00Last post at Up For Grabs ... Signing offAs I sit and write this last post please remind yourself that I've put a lot of thought into it before putting fingers to keyboard. Remember in the bygone years when it would have been pen to paper?<br /><br />I believe in the beginning that <strong><em>Up For Grabs</em></strong> was a good idea but one that is repeated daily on book blogging sites across the web. As I browse many, many, many book blogs looking for giveaways and contests to post here I find the same ones repeatedly posted on personal blogs. So the word about a giveaways and contests is definitely out there and thriving in several different places. I feel like I've been reinventing the wheel, so to speak, these last couple of months.<br /><br />The giveaways and contests posted this morning are the last that I will be posting here. I will retain the blog address and someday, maybe, do something else with the site.<br /><br />For those who posted giveaways and contests in support of <em>Up For Grabs</em> I thank you. Everything you contributed was and is truly appreciated.<br /><br />My parting gift to you all is the new <em>Read It Forward</em> progarm at Crown Publishing via Random House. I just got the first edition newsletter in my email this morning.

Thank you to everyone who voted. Words can't express how appreciative I am those to you who support <em>Up For Grabs</em> by visiting for new giveaways/contests and, of course, leaving me a comment about your upcoming giveaways/contests so that I can post them here. As you all know by now this is my labor of love.<br /><br />If someone out there in blogging world is tech savvy and creative I'd love to have a button that I could post here and pass along. I'm neither of those so that's why there isn't one right now.<br /><br /><strong>First poll</strong>: Is <em>Up For Grabs</em> an appropriate name?<br /><strong>Answer</strong>: A resounding yes for the blog title<br />I toyed with the idea of calling the site <em>Up For Grabs</em> but thought it might hinder the site as many giveaways/contest are much more than that. Not being a very creative individual I couldn't think of anything else at 2AM when <em>Up For Grabs</em> was born so I went with what I had. You'll notice though that the blog title has changed a bit.<br /><br /><strong>Second poll</strong>: Would you post a giveaway/contest?<br /><strong>Answer</strong>: Another resounding yes<br />I am starting to get more comments for giveaway and contest postings so I think the word is slowly getting out there. Also, I can't tell you how many blogs I subscribe to seeking out giveaways and contests to post at <em>Up For Grabs</em>. I thank my lucky stars that I found Goggle Reader. I'm continually adding new books blogs as I come across them. I know there are some giveaways/contests I miss because at a glance it's not obvious that it is part of the post. If you come across something I haven't posted please let me know.<br /><br />I'm considering another poll or two. I'll most likely post them in the upcoming week when I have 5 days off for the holiday!<br /><br />Take care,<br />MarciaMarciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08944616126641329920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583435446449117896.post-11956024646609227662008-06-26T12:00:00.001-06:002008-06-27T22:19:25.823-06:00Giveaway and Contests GuidelinesPlease leave us the following <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">information</span> for a book giveaway or contest:<br /><br />1 ~ Your blog name and link (so that we know we're at the right place)<br />2 ~ The actual link to the contest<br />3 ~ Any details you'd like posted<br /><br />If you like what you see please let others know about us by adding a small post, or a link if you'd like, on your book blog.

I've updated giveaways for June and July. You'll also notice a new feature at <em>Up For Grabs</em>. I've added <a href="http://www.adaptiveblue.com/smartlinks.html">Smart Links</a> by Adaptive Blue. Here at <em>Up For Grabs </em>Smart Links will be providing information about the books being given away. It's just another way for you, the reader, to have more information at your fingertips when deciding if a particular book appeals to your reading tastes. Smart Links are the tiny blue boxes you'll see next to the books titles. They have been added to books listed in giveaways posted 6/24/08 and later. Also, instead of new giveaways being added at the bottom of the monthly post I've moved new giveaways to the start of the post. I keep trying new things. Please let me know what works and what doesn't. If you come across something in your blog travels that you think would enhance <em>Up For Grabs</em> please let me know so that I can check it out. I'm not very "techy" but if I can figure out how to do it or get help somewhere I'm willing to give most anything a try.<br /><br />My apologizes to everyone. There were no new giveaways to post yesterday (6/23) and my mom arrived in town last night so I was away from my beloved laptop. I do have 3 or 4 new giveaways to post and will do so once work quiets down, most likely after 9pm MST (Boise, ID). I don't want the boss catching me at my labor of love which, of course, is not my paying job. LOL<br /><br />You can check out our current giveaways for June <a href="http://upforgrabs08.blogspot.com/2008/06/june-08-giveaways-and-contests.html">here</a> and July <a href="http://upforgrabs08.blogspot.com/2008/06/july-08-giveaways-and-contests.html">here</a><br /><br /><strong>Please take part in our polls while visiting <em>Up For Grabs</em></strong>. They are listed under the June '08 Hosts. I'm also thinking about closing the current polls and opening a couple of new ones so be on the lookout for those.<br /><br /><em>** Just so you all have a heads up I'm thinking about migrating <strong>Up For Grabs</strong> to my personal blog. If I can find a way to highlight it and have it standout from my other work there then I might do so. In the long run it might be easier to have everything in one place. So I'll be working out the logistics and will keep everyone updated as to what is happening. I thank everyone for your support of <em>Up For Grabs</em> **</em>Marciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08944616126641329920noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583435446449117896.post-79077588697198071232008-06-21T11:59:00.002-06:002008-06-21T16:30:21.341-06:00New giveaways posted today... 6/21/08New giveaways for July have been posted.

Mainly that's there is nothing here. Unfortunately we had a major meltdown last night. If you're stopping by for the first time we apologize for the inconvenience. We're going to turn this into an opportunity to take a poll or two and gage interest in continuing <em>Up For Grabs</em>. Both polls are listed in left column and polling is open until June 30th.<br /><br />Sunday @ 10am: We've re-posted some more of our June Giveaways and are working on adding July postings.<br /><br />Updated at 3:30pm: <strong><em>We've started listing giveaways and contests again!</em></strong> Our first re-post can be found <a href="http://upforgrabs08.blogspot.com/2008/06/june-08-giveaways-and-contests.html">here</a><br /><br />We appreciate your feedback, suggestions, ideas or concerns.Marciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08944616126641329920noreply@blogger.com0
