PRIZES

Prize One

I recently purchased this book and quickly realized I already owned it. My mistake is your gain!

Wicca For One: The Path Of Solitary Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland (One winner - U.S. only)

The practice of Wicca is more popular than ever. While some Wiccans are unable to find a coven, others simply prefer to practice alone. Either way, solitary practice is a wholly authentic choice, steeped in traditions even older than those of organized covens.

Known as the Father of American Wicca, Raymond Buckland provides this indispensable, comprehensive guide to the solitary practice of Wicca through every season of life. From becoming a Witch to improving your life through magic to mastering spells, rites, traditions, and celebrations, this thoroughly modern handbook includes information on:

· The advantages and drawbacks of practicing solitary Wicca
· Constructing the tools and sacred space needed to create magic every day
· Using dreamwork, tarot cards, crystal balls, astrology, and other divinations
· Maintaining ethics without the guidance of a coven
· Developing the power to heal and to ward off negativity

Let Wicca for One be your guidebook and inspiration as you travel the time-honored path of the solitary practitioner. (Goodreads)

WINNER - MALLORY

Prize Two (One winner) 

Winner's choice of any book title from the bargain books (these are generally used books) section of Better World Books. They ship internationally (priced at $3.98 or less) OR a $3.00 Amazon eGift card.

Giveaway Details
This is a readathon participant only giveaway. To be eligible, you must have signed up, participated and added a link to the official readathon wrap-up post at the end of the readathon (I will give everyone until Monday, September 6th at 11:59 pm EDT to complete their wrap-ups). We no longer use a linky for wrap-ups. The Google form on our wrap-up post is where you will enter your info, your wrap-up link, and answer yes/no on whether you want to win a prize or not. I will choose the winner of the above prize by random selection using random.org Winners will be chosen after the wrap-up post deadline (see above).

Enjoy the rest of the readathon!

Winter's Respite Readathon - Time to read!

January is already over?! What the what?! That's okay though because now the readathon can start. Hoping to hunker down in this cold winter and get some serious reading done. How about you?

If you have any questions about how things work, check out the guidelines in the sidebar menu or the sign up post, or you can always leave me a comment (or send me a message via the contact form). The linky below is the same one as the sign up linky. If you do a starting line/goal post, just add your link again, but be sure to put "goal post" beside your name, i.e. Michelle @ True Book Addict (goals or reading goals).

I have not received any prize donations, but I will be giving away a couple of prizes, in addition to the charity prize below. With no prize donations, I will not be doing a prize page. I will post the prizes I'm offering on the mid-event check-in page.

I will post a mid-event check in post at the halfway point. Our hashtag for the readathon across social media is #WintersRespite. Stop by our Facebook group, Goodreads group and check out our Instagram. We also have a Seasons of Reading Facebook page. If you haven't already, stop by and give us a like. Thanks! (You can also access all our socials via the links in the sidebar menu.) We have a Discord too. If you would like to stop by and chat anytime during the readathon, here’s the invite link: https://discord.gg/e6uAmXtGqA

Win a $15 donation to a social justice charity of your choice!

I will make a $15 donation to the winner's choice of a social justice organization, such as the ACLU, Boys and Girls Club, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, Amnesty International, It Gets Better, The Trevor Project, Planned Parenthood, or another social justice organization of your choice (food banks, homeless shelters, animal rights/rescue/shelters would also apply), perhaps your local chapter or a local organization. This giveaway is open internationally. Note: I will not donate to any organization that does not believe all are equal, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation.

Charity giveaway (Google form): https://forms.gle/iUzKME1o38aM2UoWA

(I will draw the winner at the end of the first week)
