Random Contest!

As I was cleaning up my bookshelves - to mooch and also to post my TBR pile picture.. I realized that I had some duplicates/books I don't feel like reading in with my books from ALA.

So, some of these are obscure, but I figured, why not throw some sort of contest to get rid of them all?

So here's the list: (click the link for more info)

Posh and Prejudice by Grace Dent (ARC)
Solace of the Road by Siobhan Dowd (ARC)
The Brilliant Fall of Gianna Z. (Signed ARC)
Alphas by Lisi Harrison (ARC)
A Long Way from Chicago and A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck (2 books in one, Teacher's Edition)
Hazel by Julie Hearn (ARC)
Troubadour by Mary Hoffman (ARC)

There's seven books, so I will break it down like this:

3 winners!

1st place:
Chooses 3 books from the list above

2nd place:
Chooses 2 books from the remaining books

3rd place:
Takes the last 2 books not already picked.


The Rules:
1. Open to US and Canada (sorry! I'm poor for a while here).
2. Please include your email address with your comment(s).
3. Contest ends Saturday, October 3rd at 8 pm CST
4. How to get points:

+1 for commenting
+3 for following my blog (whether it's through google connect, email, or RSS)
+5 add my blog button to your blog's sidebar (leave a link)
+2 for every time you advertise this contest - You MUST leave a link

Watch out for more contests coming soon. :) (I'm almost up to the 400 Followers! Gah!)
