Give Away!!!

I love books (obviously). I especially love owning books. Maybe one day I will post a picture of my overflowing bookshelves, but I'd have to clean them up first so don't hold your breath.

I want to share the happiness my messy bookshelves bring to me with all of you so I'm giving away another SIGNED book, which are the best kind.

I attended a signing by Leif Enger and managed to snag an extra signed copy of "So Young, Brave, and Handsome", which I am giving to one of you!
Leif, Me, and my friend Carla

The only reason I'm giving this book away is because Leif 'signed' my copy on my Kindle. How, you may ask? No, no Sharpies were involved. I had him type a note on the title page and took a picture to verify.
'Signing' my Kindle

He thought it was pretty funny and now when you open his book on my Kindle you see a note that says:

"my first kindle signing ... the new world has arrived! Leif Enger"

That's right, his FIRST Kindle signing. I'm sure I am permanently in his memory now. :)

If you would like to be entered to win, sign up to follow my blog and leave me a little note in the comments. If you already follow me, then just go ahead leave a note. I would love to hear what all of you are currently reading, if you need a little inspiration in your note. And again, you will get an extra entry for everyone that you get to sign up to follow me, just have them mention you in their post.

That's it. You have until midnight on Thursday, Aug. 11, and winners will be announced on Friday, Aug. 12. Sorry it's not a full week, but I have a family reunion this weekend so I'll be gone to that.

Thanks for stopping by and Good Luck!

  2. Ummm, I want to win. I think that I should win, and if it ends up being between me and Kylie... really? I am your sister. She is only a sister"-in-law" that hardly counts... No offense Kylie, I know you are a lovely girl... But in the probably chance that I don't win, that's cool. Whatever. Enjoy the reunion! Sorry that I live too far away to join in on the festivities! Oh, and books I am reading... Always A Witch... gotta finish up the story, and I just finished The Lost Hero...

  3. I have never thought to have them sign my Kindle that way. I love that idea. I usually have them sign the cover with a sharpie.

    Right now I am catching up on my TBR pile and finishing Iron Queen before Iron Knight comes out.

  4. I follow your blog! And I am currently reading Emeralds and Espionage. It's a book my mom lent me when I was visiting and needed something to read. I haven't gotten to far in it, but she really liked it.
