Giveaway time!

I have a free Reader's Digest subscription up for grabs!

The rules:
1. Sorry, my international friends--this can only go to a U.S. resident.
2. Post a comment, any comment at all. I personally think you should post a haiku (poem of three lines--5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, five syllables in the third) about why you want this subscription. But that's purely for my entertainment because I like silly poetry. The winner will be chosen randomly.
3. Tell friends, enemies, frienemies, family members, and blog readers about this. I only have one subscription to give away, but if someone you refer wins, I'll send you some of the super-yummy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies I've been making lately.

So click that comment button--and good luck!

Winner will be chosen sometime Sunday!

  1. Here's my Haiku:

    Something I can read
    A perfect mental escape
    Give away from Beth

  2. I used to think I was dorky because I was a Reader's Digest fan ... oh wait, we already established the nerd-bond we have, right?

    The poetry gene is one that I am lacking though!

  5. Just when I thought you'd made my day-
    by having this really cool giveaway
    I see you'd prefer the comment as a haiku-
    but since I don't know how-hope this will do :)

    have a great weekend! (and it's true, I never understood that haiku stuff, even in school! must be the syllables thing I can't get figured out...)

  7. I know this doesn't count as another entry, but I couldn't help myself.

    Have you seen Mad Men?
    On TV - A & E.
    Mentions the Digest.

    It's set in '60.
    Readers Digest just published
    That cigarettes kill.

    With slogans and sheen:
    "Be a man! Smoke Lucky Strikes!"
    The ad-men prevaiil.

    Digest but don't taste

  9. Oooohhh...I absolutely, positively LOVE Readers' Digest. My parents and grandparents all got it when I was a kid and I still read it whenever I get the chance.

    Lots of magazines
    But none bring memories like
    Bathroom read RD

  11. Hmmm...let me give it a shot:

    Reading is my real love.
    Blogging is my fun hobby.
    Help me find some love.

    Weak, I know. I'm not a poet but at least I know it.

  12. Is reading a sin?
    I still pray that I do win
    Even if it is.

    :o)

    How's THAT for someone who hasn't written Haiku since Jr High?!

    If I can get cookies too
    For referring me

    *Check out the haiku on my blog, mamabris5armybrats.blogspot.com*
