*Squeals* I'm super, super excited to be writing this post! It's my sixteenth birthday in a few days and since blogging has become such a big part of my life now and I've made so many blogging friends along the way, I thought, 'Why not celebrate on the blog too?' I can't believe I'm finally turning sixteen and I'm awfully excited about it so it felt right to host a giveaway to spread the love and happiness!
Rachel Harris, who is an AMAZING author, is kindly sponsoring the giveaway with an e-book copy of her debut YA novel, My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century and some awesome swag! A copy is already winging its way to me and it promises to be a fun, flirty read. The giveaway is also INTERNATIONAL so what are you waiting for? Get your flirt on and enter the giveaway! But first, Rachel has also written a special post for me to share with you (isn't she just lovely?) Read on to find out about her own sixteenth...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEVERLEY!!!
~ tosses purple confetti ~
I’m so stinking excited to be here today to celebrate Beverley’s Sweet Sixteen. She’s one of my awesome Flirt Squad girls, and all around made of awesome. It rocks that she happens to share a birthday month with my debut, My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century, which is all about my main character Cat Crawford’s Sweet 16.
I’m so stinking excited to be here today to celebrate Beverley’s Sweet Sixteen. She’s one of my awesome Flirt Squad girls, and all around made of awesome. It rocks that she happens to share a birthday month with my debut, My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century, which is all about my main character Cat Crawford’s Sweet 16.
I had a Sweet 16 party when I was growing up, but sadly, it wasn’t televised. And I didn’t involve any time travel. Or trips to Italy. But it did rock all the same. We all wore fancy dresses, paraded out before the crowd as a DJ announced our names, and had our moment in the spotlight for our father-daughter dance. The whole thing cost a ridiculous amount of money at the time, but the memories I made are priceless. And I hope Beverley’s Sweet 16 is just as memorable as mine was…and just magical as Cat's adventure in the book.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any hocus pocus of my own to magically transport Beverley to the era and country of her dreams, but I DO come baring gifts….and, because my girl’s made of awesome, she’s decided to transfer those gifts to two of YOU!
This contest is international (woot!), and one lucky winner will receive an e-book copy of My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century, and the runner up will receive a Super Sweet Swag pack, filled with bookmarks, tattoos, bracelets, and your own pocket sized trading cards featuring Cat and Renaissance hottie Lorenzo.

ReplyDeleteI live in Italy and actually we don't celebrate when we turn 16 but when we turn 18 - the age in which you officially become and adult :)
I celebrated this summer by doing a party on the beach with some friends and then spending some amazing days at my best friend's (she unfortunately happens to live far from my city ç_ç).
Thanks for the giveaway!
Happy Birthday! I'm not entering the giveaway cos it's an ebook, but I loved the guest post!
ReplyDeleteI spent my 16th birthday bowling with my family and then had pizza. :D

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!! I celebrated with some friends, I was so happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this giveaway and a very happy birthday! My 16th birthday... I have to say I don't remember it :p so don't think it was special. Probably I was just at school that day x)
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day and thanks for the giveaway! I celebrated my birthday with my friends

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway-I'd like to celebrate it reading all day, then reading with my friends at a sleepover!
BEVERLEY!! <3 Lovely Bev, happy belated birthday!! <3 Gosh, I'm sorry that I went MIA these past weeks. So sad that I missed the birthday blast here. :'( I hope you had fabulous time on your birthday though! <3 Really, it should be us giving you birthdays! Well, I guess for now, I'll have to settle for virtual hugs and kisses! *hugs tightly*
ReplyDeleteAww, sixteenth... I didn't really remember what I did when I was that age (LOL! Feeling so old right now), but I hope this will be an amazing age to remember! <3 Have a wonderful year ahead of you, hun! :)
Happy b-day Bev! Honestly, I'd love to get a giftcard to a bookstore, and spend the rest of the day just reading . . .
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the year to come!
My sixteenth birthday was spent running, getting stung by a bee in the head leading to a major headache, cuddling with my kitten, and volunteering. Then I got to eat stuffed manicotti in a tomato sauce with cheese on top with my family.
ReplyDeleteHow could I forget to say... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you have a great time :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteHow do I spent my sixteenth? Hmm, it was an eternity ago LOL so I don't remember the details but I remember spending it with my family (like I always do) ^^
I celebrated it with my family. Nothing extravagant but still a memorable one.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! :)
I honestly don't remember how I spent my sixteenth birthday. Maybe that was the year my mom took me on a shopping spree? Sorry...all I know is that it (sadly) wasn't memorable. I was an angsty teen. =p
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, and thanks for the great giveaway!
For my sweet sixteen my friends and I got to together and had a murder mystery party!
ReplyDeleteInstead of a party my parents got me a glamor shots session so I have all of these pretty pictures of how I looked when I was sixteen :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for having the giveaway!
I spent my entire summer, including my 16th bday (I guess, because I reeeeeeally don't remember it) studying and doing work for my upcoming AP classes, since I was graduating a year early I had to take more AP classes than usual. I do remember getting my first laptop from my dad that year.
ReplyDeleteI don't even remember clearly of what I did. All I did on my 16th birthday was have cake and presents. I did more stuff on my 13th birthday, I think part of it was because my birthday is in the winter time. My 19th birthday is next month.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and thanks for the giveaway.
