SFIR presents...

Oh, no....

...it's coming...

....RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

That's right!

It's that time of year.

We've reached October, one of my favorite months..and soon to be one of yours too!

Why?

Well, for starters, it's my birthday month!  Yep, why celebrate it for one day when you can have the entire month, right?  Second...I love FALL!  It's an awesome time of year and even though down here you don't get as much of the cool temps (though right now, they are pretty fantastic) or see as many leaves changing (or jump in piles of freshly racked leaves...a fun past time to be certain...), it's still pretty great.

What does all this mean for you?

Oh, you'll see....

This October....SFIR takes on a new meaning as

Satisfaction For Insatiable Readers

....becomes....

Spooktacular Finds In Reading!

*dun*dun*dunnnnnnnn*

Yep!

All this month we are going to be celebrating the season.  Every book reviewed this month will be tied into this time of year in one fashion or another (some being a tad more creative...hehe); from spooky to creepy, real horrors and those best left to fiction, there will be a little bit of everything.

So, are you ready to PAR-TY?

Oh, wait a second...I knew I forgot something.

I bet you want to know what beyond reviews and such you have to look forward to, huh?

Well since you were kind enough to stick with me this far into the post, here is your reward.

There will be....FOUR contests this month in conjunction with this celebration alone (that's not counting any other random beauties I can throw in along the way).  Each week a new prize pack will be unveiled giving you yet another chance to win.  Entries will be accepted through midnight CST on October 30th, 2010 with the winner announced on HALLOWEEN.  Now the prize packs will be open to US/Canada entries, HOWEVER there will be a special prize option open to our International friends only.

So...are you ready to kick it all off?

I sure hope so because....HERE WE GO!
