SciFiChick.com’s 10th Anniversary and Giveaway!

Wow! SciFiChick.com has been around for a decade now!
I’m so grateful for having such a fun outlet to share my geekiness for science fiction and fantasy books, tv, and movies. It has been another fun year of fantastic books and a couple new, favorite movies (Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier). There was a rough patch as well this past fall, when my dog Lois Lane (the love of my life) was diagnosed with cancer – oral melanoma. However, it was caught early and removed with surgery. She’s now cancer-free and acting like a new pup. She hopes to get back to her volunteer work as a therapy dog again soon. I feel truly blessed.

Thanks to all of you visitors! It’d be pretty pointless without fellow genre fans and readers.
And many thanks to the various publishers, authors, and media contacts who continue to send books and movies for review. You help to keep my passion/addiction alive and keep me buried in books.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, I’m offering up one of my extra copies of Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton for a lucky winner.

Contest is open to US residents only. No PO Boxes please. To enter, just fill out the form below. Contest ends February 27. I’ll draw a name on February 28, and notify winner via email.

Good luck!
