Giveaway for the 2018 Tolkien Blog Party


YES!  Time to unveil this year's giveaway prizes! 

This year, I will give away NINE prizes.  Why nine?  Nine companions in the Fellowship of the Ring... nine Nazgul... 9x9=81, and it's the 81st anniversary of The Hobbit being released... why not nine prizes?


TWO winners will EACH receive a set of 6 Tolkien-themed bookmarks, as pictured above.

TWO winners will EACH receive a set of 4 Tolkien-themed stickers, as pictured above.

ONE winner will receive a bookmark that says "Not all those who wander are lost."

ONE winner will receive a tiny Hobbit-like door, perfect for a miniature garden or terrarium.

ONE winner will receive a NEW copy of The Children of Hurin by J. R. R. Tolkien.

ONE winner will receive a Hobbit Hole spiral-bound notebook/journal.

ONE winner will receive a USED copy of Middle-Earth Puzzles by Tim Dedopulos.

This giveaway is open WORLDWIDE. I'm mailing these all myself, and most of them are small, so no matter where you live in this wide world, you are welcome to enter.

The main way to gain entries is to participate in the party, in other words, to copy the questions I posted here and answer them on your own blog, then add your post's link to the Mister Linky widget at the bottom of that official party kick-off post. But that isn't required! You can also earn entries by telling me your prize choices and by commenting elsewhere on my blog. I do my best to match winners with their choice of prizes, but that doesn't always work out -- that's why I ask for your top three choices.

This giveaway runs through the end of Friday, September 28. I will draw the winners on Saturday, September 29 and post the names of the winners that day, as well a notify them by email.

PLEASE make sure your information for the giveaway widget includes your current email address so that if you win a prize, you'll get the email informing you that you won! If you don't reply to my email by Saturday, October 6, I will choose another winner and award your prize to them instead.

Here's the widget:

Don't forget to check back throughout the week to participate in the games and make new friends!

  7. Whoa... this is an EPIC giveaway!!! WOW!!! (Also, reeeally appreciate you making it worldwide. Like, thank you. :))

    My preferences are:
    -The Hobbit hole notebook ('cause notebooks are my one weakness)
    -Not all those who wander are lost bookmark
    -The 6 bookmarks... or the Middle Earth Puzzles. :P (They're all amazing!!)

    Also, just wanted to add that I'll be away next weekend on a camping trip, and won't get back until Monday (although that might be your Sunday...), so I won't be here to see who the winners are. Aaaand, I think you might have made a little mistake - the 30th of September is a Sunday, not a Saturday. :)
