Monthly Book Giveaway

December 4, 2007 by Betsy Bird   2 comments

Surprise! 

You thought I would forget?  You thought right. 
You thought I would forget and then not do it anyway?  You thought wrong.

Tis the season to give away cool books.  Consider these three titles:

Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood by Ibtisam Barakat – hardcover
The Qwikpick Adventure Society by Sam Riddleburger – hardcover
The Seer of Shadows by Avi – ARC (due out in March 2008)

Which would you prefer?  Shoot me an e-mail today (Tuesday) and if I get it by midnight I put your name in The Cereal Bowl of Fate and draw a winner for each title.

    Good Evening, I am happy to have found your site. I love books! I am fortunate to hopefully be added to your contest. “The Qwikpick Adventure Society” sounds wonderful to me! Although, winning any of the titles would make me a happy camper! Thanks very much…..Cindi 🙂
