Yes, I'm having a Giveaway! In fact, since I love promoting local (and sometimes not-quite-local) authors, I'm calling it the
Award-Winning-Authors-From-Pennsylvania
Giveaway!
Giveaway!
One prize will be awarded, consisting of two hardcover books (I will use randomizer.org if I can figure it out).
The prize:
1) A SIGNED hardcover copy of Please Ignore Vera Dietz
by A.S. King,
by A.S. King,
which received a Printz Honor Award on Monday.
Did I mention it's SIGNED by the author?
Did I mention it's SIGNED by the author?
AND
2) A hardcover copy of After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick,
which was the Schneider Family Book Award Middle School winner.
I'm thrilled for both Amy King and Jordan Sonnenblick (click on their names to visit their websites). I reviewed Amy's book here. And I did a quick pick review of Jordan's book here. Rest assured that both of these prizes are hardcover books I purchased. Not ARCs or review copies.
How do you enter? It's simple:
1) Be a follower
2) Post a comment
Extra points:
+2 if you were a follower before today
+2 if you tweet about this giveaway (Twitter and I have a love/hate relationship, but please include @booksnbrains so I can track it, or else come back here and post the link)
+2 if you blog about it (again, post the link here)
You have until 11:59 pm EST on Sunday January 23, 2011 to enter this giveaway. I may kick myself later, but this giveaway is open internationally (hey, I've gotta do my part to promote my local authors). Any questions, you know where to find me.
I'll post the winner's name no later than Wed Jan 26, 2011. I will email the winner to ask for your mailing address, but if I don't get a response within three days I may be forced to award the prize to someone else.
UPDATE: This giveaway is now officially closed.
Two books I've heard great things about but haven't read yet! Thanks for the great giveaways lately!

Both books sound wonderful! Thanks for the opportunity to win one of them.
ReplyDeleteHi again Stephanie! Your book from the last contest is on its way to you via media mail, so it'll take a week.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Susan! Glad you're here. Maybe I didn't make it clear enough, but there's only ONE prize and it consists of BOTH books! Maybe next time I'll have more than one winner. Right now I'm too lazy to deal with two packages, two addresses, etc.
Cool! I love book contests. Even if I don't win, I'll add these two books to my list. Thanks Joanne!
ReplyDeleteI'M IN.
ReplyDeleteKing's novel looks like my cup of tea. I'll put you on my sidebar. Nice to meet you and your blog!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you too, Lydia.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for entering. You too, Mike and Karen.
Joanne, thanks for letting me know about the contest. I tweeted it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteYou don't know how much I want to read Please Ignore Vera Dietz. Can't have myself a copy since it isn't available here in the Philippines. Thank you so much for holding this awesome contest.
