The answer to all of those questions is yes. But due to some issues with the form and registration, I've admitted defeat and decided to do the giveaway a different way. While the silent auction format was a good idea, it didn't work as well in execution as it did in planning. Mostly because everyone was bidding on the same prizes. So due to the fact that so many prizes went unclaimed, I am reformatting the contest, and extending it until the end of the week.
Here's how the new contest will work. For every prize that has not had any "bidders" (or has only 1 bidder with a 1 point bid), I will be re-offering the prizes up for grabs. EVERYONE can enter this contest, and prizes will be awarded by random.org. All you have to do is pick which prizes you want to enter for. Easy, right? So if you didn't enter before, I strongly encourage you to do so now. Yes, you at the computer. You know you want free books, right?
This (new) contest will be open until 11:59 pm on Friday, October 14. To enter, simply fill out the Google form found at the end of the post. Or you can email me your entries at shadyglade (AT) mail (DOT) com. Of course, if you prefer to enter the old way, the forms are still open on this page. It's a great way to increase your chances at winning a particular prize. Otherwise, prizes are going to be awarded randomly. As before, this giveaway is open internationally.
Here is a recap of the prizes that have been reshuffled for this giveaway. If you'd more information on these prizes, you can check out the original prize posts (one, two, and three). Scoll all the way to the bottom for the entry form, or follow this link.

Too bad some of them went unclaimed... hopefully this will work out. =) P.S. Sorry if I entered several times; my internet decided to go weird right as I was submitting the form, so I'm not sure if it went through multiple times or not. Obviously just count one of my entries. =)
Yay, giveaways! Happy 5th Blogoversary!

Sign me up! I know certain 17/14 year olds that would be thrilled with some new books.
