MY FIRST CONTEST!!!

Okay since NaNoWrimo began today I figure regular blog entries will be few & far between.
Well in the spirit of writing I wanted to have my first contest! *the crowd goes wild*
So if you would like to win here are you entry possibilities:
+1 comment on this blog
+1 Follow my blog
+2 TWEET about the contest (be sure to leave me a link or Twitter username)
+3 Blog about the contest! (be sure to leave a link to your blog)
So those are the rules... what do you win, you ask? Well, I am taking a cue from Shannon over at Ramblings of a Wannabe Scribe ( http://ramblingsofawannabescribe.blogspot.com/ )
YOU PICK!
Option#1: impossible by Nancy Werlin
Description: A young girl discovers that her bloodline is part of a curse that dates back centuries and worlds... she must complete the tasks so that true love can save her....
Okay this book is wonderful, weird, exciting, sad, heart wrenching and even funny. I read it in five hours sitting in a hotel room on a business trip. It is a National Book Award Finalist and for good reason.
Option #2: Dreaming Anastasia by Joy Preble
Description: Who doesn't know of the Romanovs? Czar family gunned down. The world believed one child escaped: the elusive mystery of Anastasia. Joy takes you on a magical ride as you explore a new explanation for the Romanov mystery. It is fantasy at its best & definitely explores the power of dreams! It is told in multiple POV and allows the reader to get to know various characters during their journeys. It might even make you google the story just to remind you of the history!
Be sure to leave which one you want when you comment! (open to US residents only - sorry :o( )
GOOD LUCK! *winner will be chosen at random on November 6*

    Choice would be Dreaming Anastasia, cause I LOVE Russian history, and know lots of facts about the lasts Tzar's family like the missing body could of been either Anastisia or her Older sister Maria, but the bodies were beyond reconised and they were roughly the same size. also when the royal family was brought down to the celler the dog Gemmie was also shot and killed, and this more then likely happened because when killing something one loves it has the most heart renching effects, so the order killed would of been Lexis Anastisia, Maria,Tatanna then Olga followed by the Queen then finally the Tzar...

    I could go on if you like.
