Hi there fellow bloggers!
If you hadn't heard already, I went and saw Julia Hoban in Indiana last weekend (See this post).
So, I nabbed an extra copy for a contest and Julia signed it for one lucky winner. I loved it, so I hope you guys are excited to read this one!
I'm going to make this fairly simple (I hope!). Sorry, but I'm a little bit feverish right now so I may screw up this post in some way.. most likely will.
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, September 26th at 8 pm CST
4. How to get points:

+1 I've read so many good ones lately. I'm in the middle of The Name of the Wind, which I think I am going to love. But The Hunger Games I read straight through, and I loved Catching Fire, too, so they probably top the list at the moment.

ReplyDelete+1 I just finished Kindred today by Octavia Butler. It was amazing! It tells the story of this black woman Dana who lives in the mid 1970s and goes back to her ancestors time-slavery. The book gives a really sad view of a slave's lives and how their days are. I thought it was a brilliant book.

I just finished reading Willow, and at the risk of being cheesy, It's one of the best books I've ever read. It just hit me at a personal level and it kind of made me feel bad for the people who just won't get it.
