Whoopee! It’s my third year anniversary participating in Shannon Messenger’s Marvelous 
Middle Grade Monday and my four year blogging anniversary. What a fun ride with more to come. I’m so grateful to the many readers who stop by on regular basis.
It’s time for a huge giveaway to say thanks. The best part is if you have ever visited ALWAYS in the MIDDLE then you are already entered.

If you want a lucky 13th or are new to the blog and want to enter then just comment on this post.
Three lucky readers will receive one of these prize packages. The first name drawn will have their choice and the other two will randomly receive one of the remaining prize packages. The titles are ones I have reviewed in the past or will in the future (Click on an image to read a previously posted review). Drum roll, please, as I am thrilled to reveal the special celebration giveaways…

Congrats on your anniversary. It’s a big accomplishment to keep on blogging and spending the time reading others blogs. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Thank you for being a regular visitor. Your blog is one that inspires me to keep going forward.
Happy Anniversary! Cheers to more great posts 😊
Thank you. Good luck in the drawing.
Much appreciation for your timely blogs. I know how difficult it is to keep up a once a month post, but once a week? WHEW! Happy Anniversary!
Actually twice a week as I do a shorter post on writing or mini-reviews of non-fiction on Thursdays each week. Thanks again for donating Diego’s tale to help me celebrate.
Congrats and Happy Blogiversary! I joined MMGM in Nov 2010 and started blogging in August 2009, but I never thought about a celebration. Most generous of you!
My pleasure! It’s blogs like yours that keep me going. Best of luck in the drawing.
Congrats on your blogging anniversary! Man, am I behind. New to you blog because of MMGM, and keep up the fantastic work!
Good luck in the drawing and never stop reading books! Maybe even writing your own story some day.
