RULES N’ STUFF

1) USA only (sorry!!)

2) while supplies last

3) forms/entries must be completed from 6/14/24 to 7/22/24. (If you have purchased the book or requested it from the library before 6/14/24, that’s totally fine!)

4) forms filled out between June 20-Jul 10 may have a slight delay in shipping.

ps. I have heard that there are some bad actors who will try and hack into giveaways and ask for credit card numbers, etc. I will NEVER ask for any information beyond what is requested in the Google form or basic information needed for shipping. :)
