Amazon Giftcard Giveaway
I finally broke down. I bought a book to read that is not study material. Hey! It’s kind of about nutrition, which is the chapter I am reading about now in my ACE manual! That counts for something… right?!

After reading this (pdf here) review of Michael Moss’s “Salt Sugar Fat” yesterday, I had to get it. Even though I am not sure when I will allow myself to read it… but seriously. Read that review, if you have time. The book sounds super interesting, basically going over how food is engineered to make us addicted to it. I wonder if it will make me stop eating oreos? Probably… NOT!
My love for oreos is just too high. Shh. I actually really like the ALDI brand “oreos” too!
Anyway! In celebration of me buying a book (ha ha) I want to giveaway a $20 amazon giftcard, so a reader can get a book too (or whatever they want on Amazon)!

Ok I’m going to admit it…I love reading those chick books i.e.- Emily Giffin, Jennifer Weiner, etc. Not the weird romance novels, but the cute chic ones–it’s a nice escape!
PS- I like you on FB and posted the contest on FB as well!
I love best sellers, but am reading William Kent Krueger’s Cork O’Connors series.
I love crime novels. Always good with some romance thrown in. I’m not too picky either – it can be gritty serious crime or lighthearted and hilarious with a little smidge of crime thrown in (ala Janet Evanovich).
And of course, I like you on fb 🙂
I am a FB fan.

Definitely fiction, but I do love a good memoir or interesting historical nonfiction.
I’m a facebook fan!
I am all fiction all of the time. Sometimes high minded contemporary and I also love mysteries. The Swedish ones are a new obsession (Bobbi – try Camille Lackberg – she is the new Swedish Agatha Christie!) I buy nutrition, diet and health books, too, but I usually skim them. I just bought the Power of Habit. I will read that one!
I already like you on FB 🙂
My favorite kind of book to read is the kind with no more than 10 words on a page. Otherwise, Miles shuts the book on my hand and says, “All done.” Though in jest, you would be surprised just how long some of the older kids books are. I get bored reading them! For my own pleasure, I really like snark, witty memoirs like those from Jen Lancaster. I also like you on FB.
I have noticed how long some books are when I visit my friends and want to read something to their son! What were those authors thinking?!
Oh, I can’t resist entering this one, I’m ordering off of Amazon all the time. 🙂
I read a lot of psychology books and memoirs. The guy that founded the FBI’s criminal psychology program wrote a lot of books. They are creepy but I really get into them.
I also like funny, weird modern fiction. Is that a genre? 😉
I liked you on FB just now too.
I love science fiction/fantasy/futuristic type books but at the same time I love a good historical novel. Game of Thrones was decent and I followed that book with Divergent. So I am all over the place, I just love a good story!
I am like your facebook page!
I love reading everything! I suppose my favorite would be mystery or true crime. Oreos are one of my biggest weaknesses….then I tried birthday cake Oreos- they are the most amazing cookie ever.
Oh gosh. Those are so sickeningly sweet – I LOVE them!
Jodi Picoult is my favorite author and I love her books. But nerd alert, my favorite books are autobiographies 🙂
I have been liking your FB forever! 🙂
hmm genre? maybe self help books. Is that really a genre or just a section at B&N? I enjoy books about: miraculous happenings, positive uplifting stories and caterpillar/butterfly change stories (does that make sense?) lol
and I follow you on FB!
Ooooh giveaways are fun!
Required to enter the giveaway: leave a comment telling me your favorite genre of books to read.

Hmm I don’t think I have a favorite genre. Does my fave genre right now count? I’m loving historical fiction!
I posted the giveaway to FB.
I liked your FB page.
Lately I’ve been reading young adult books. I’m currently reading the Lauren Oliver series which is so good!
I really like YA books, and romance, but not romance like 50 Shades.. More like Nicholas Sparks or Nora Roberts. 🙂 I don’t make much time for reading lately. I tried to start a book the other day, but only got 12 pages in before I had to stop and go to sleep!
I liked your FB page forever ago, hope that still gets me another entry!! 😀
I shared the contest on my FB page! 🙂
Speaking of Nicholas Sparks did you see The Lucky One?
Books make me fall asleep too. zzzzzzzzzzz
Haven’t yet, but I want to. We are going to see the new Oz movie this weekend.
I like mysteries/crime fiction as my “go to” genre, although I also read classics, fiction, and history.
I liked you on Facebook. 🙂
I saw those Megastuff Oreos in the grocery on Sunday and thought of you!
Aww! That is awesome they made you think of me! 🙂
I’m a sucker for a really good romance novel, especially one with a sexy male lead! 😉
I already “like” you on FB.
But I posted your giveaway on my FB page!!
I would have to say I’d use it for nursing books for the summer session. I haven’t read anything non-nursing related in months!!
BTW, OREOS!!!!!! OMG, you and I would be besties if we were closer!!!! 🙂
And you totally made my mouth water…I already have a secret stash in the house…
YES! We would have so much fun together! Run/bike, eat a few oreos… I need a secret stash! Although, my husband prefers the white ones so we’re usually all good 😉 I just can’t share!
My favorite Genre of books are the classics. Anna Karenina, War and Peace, PRide and Prejudice are my faves! I also love non-fiction books. I liked your facebook page, and I shared this giveaway on Facebook :).
I want to watch Anna Karenina! Have you seen it?
Judging from my Goodreads account, my favorite type of book is either the memoir or dystopian fiction – although I do my fair share of reading about health and fitness.
I’m addicted to Amazon … I wonder if it’s engineered to encourage addiction? Ha. My favorite book genre are fictional books about characters who overcome personal struggles.
I think it is! I had to take the app off my phone so I would stop buying away!
Oh, and I just liked your FB page (through my blog’s FB page, in case you’re wondering)!
I saw your sis’s post on facebook and came to check out your blog! I’ll definitely like you on facebook and share too. 🙂
Books man… I want to be an avid reader so bad. Wouldn’t I be so much smarter? I know plenty of readers and I’m jealous of them. Haha! When I do manage to get into a book, it’s simple and pretty non-thinking books. I liked those Shopoholic books (Shame!) And I love love love reading Harry Potter.
In highschool I enjoyed reading classics like Of Mice and Men and Wuthering Heights. There is hope for me yet… If I win that gift card, maybe I’ll buy myself a new book. 🙂
Thanks for checking me out! I have been recommending your page to people!
Science…like nonfiction. Especially physics. Is that too nerdy? Probably. I’m currently reading “The Particle at the End of the Universe.”
And, in case you were wondering, I also just posted to my Facebook page.
Murder mysteries are my favorites. Police procedural books are good, too. Nothing that requires too much brain power, though. Books are my escape.
I LOVE you on Facebook (why isn’t that an option?)
Aww! <3 <3 <3
Ahh picking a genre is soo hard! Right now I’m really into murder mystery books though. I love the feeling of not wanting to put down a book because I want to know what’s going to happen next. Generally though I like a lot of historical fiction and memoirs.
Hmm, I read alot and I don’t stick to one genre. I have recently enjoyed a few memoirs, so I’ll go with that.
I like you on facebook.
My favorite genre of books to read is Harry Potter (in my opinion, they get their own genre).
You know I already like you on Facebook!
don’t laugh.
Is this a genre? But I love self-help/life stories type of books!
Trashy novels are my fave. I can’t help it – I like being entertained!!
I love historical fiction books. I always have since I was little. I also love reading cookbooks. Does that count as a genre to read?
Of course it counts!
I already like you of FB! 🙂
Hi Kim! I am catching up on blogging after a two-week hiatus – so please know that I am not just reappearing when you are hosting a giveaway. =) My favorite books to read are those focused on self-improvement, particularily from a mental or spiritual perspective. I also love cookbooks and Erin has me into fashion now, too!
I already like you on Facebook!!!
No worries! I know you have been busy! 🙂
I <3 Amazon. Seriously. I order EVERYTHING there. I keep an ongoing wishlist. 🙂
My favorite books to read are humorous. Life is too serious to read anything else!
I already like you on FB.
Favorite genre? Yikes… I have to say, I’ve been enjoying the thriller/mystery books like the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo… and I’m positive I’ll love Gone Girl when I get a hold of it…
YAY Amazon! I actually just spent $30 in kids books on there. I have a lot of baby showers coming up. 🙂
I love romance novels, there are so many different places you can take them

I read a pretty wide range, from trashy vampire fiction to social critiques.
I’m not too picky on my books as long as they aren’t slow and boring. I just finished another Stephanie Plum book – love them!

I hope they keep Mega Stuf FOREVER!!!!

I like to read non-fiction. If you’re ever looking for a book recommendation, I have a huge Goodreads list 🙂 ‘Fast Food Nation’ was good and ‘Fed Up!’ Was very good if you’d want more in a similar genre. Hope you like the one you got!
You know me, I am a huge supporter…so pick me! hehe!!
I heard the NPR interview about that book and want to read it. My favorite books lately are memoirs.
I already like your FB page, which is where I saw the giveaway. 🙂
I hardly ever buy books anymore, but I love going to the library. I’ve been digging the memoirs lately, but I also really like historical fiction.

Not sure I can choose a favorite genre but chick lit and historical fiction are at the top!
I love crime and mystery novels!
I like historical non-fiction like biographies or books about war. Can be some of the most horrifying or alternately inspiring reading you can do.
Have you tried Trader Joes’ version of Oreos? Awesomesauce!
All kinds – if I can get some quiet time to sit and read:)
