Another week, another two winners! This week’s winners are <insert drum roll> Ginnie and Michelle! Michelle has chosen Road Map to Holland: How I Found My Way Through My Son’s First Two Years with Down Syndrome, by Jennifer Graf Groneberg. Ginnie may choose between that and Triangle by Katharine Weber. Send me your shipping information (and Ginnie, your choice of books), and I’ll get your books in the mail!
For this week, once again: your choice. Any book.* Yes, really, any* book! Name your choice below by noon Sunday (Pacific Time), and I’ll choose a winner from one of my hats. Easy as that! Contest open to anyone on the planet within reach of reliable mail service. What book is calling your name?
*Well, any book readily available for $25 or less, not counting shipping.
Here’s the hat Mars picked the winners from. This one’s labeled “doeskin felt” and “100 percent wool,” so you decide what it’s made of. I call it my “Sunday Go-to-Meeting Hat,” and I’ve worn it many, many times. I don’t think you can call it retro because it’s Vintage 1980-something. I can’t read the label. I bought it from a little boutique in Tucson, and it’s fairly upscale, but nothing like the couture hat I posted last week.
Big thanks to the following bloggers for promoting the Monday Book Giveaway! If you found the giveaway via a different blog, please let me know, so I can thank them for the link.

Hello! This is always so much fun. I thank you for that! I would choose
Kate Elliott’s book called “Spirit Gate!” I am getting into reading some
Sci-Fi and her series comes quite recommended. Thanks and have a
lovely week…..Cindi

I am trying to build up my non-fiction library and would have to go with (you’ve heard this before!) “Awakening Your Sense of Wonder” by Janet Chester Bly, available at http://www.blybooks.com
Thanks!
April 14, 2008 at 1:17 pm |
Swapna: absolutely preorders count! In fact, I love hearing about those. Books that have fans before they’re even released tend to be great books.
April 14, 2008 at 1:39 pm |
Wow… there is about a zillion books I’d like. How about “Notes from Nethers” by Sandra Eugster or “Beyond the Shadows” by Robin Lee Hatcher.
April 14, 2008 at 1:40 pm |
Oh man, this is rough. I’d have to choose ‘Spook’ by Mary Roach, because ‘Stiff’ was just too much fun.
April 14, 2008 at 1:55 pm |
Wow, let’s see … I’ve been waiting to get this one: “The Cypresses Believe in God: Spain on the Eve of Civil War” by Jose Maria Gironella.
April 14, 2008 at 2:29 pm |

Thanks for this lovely giveaway. I would love to read, People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks.
April 14, 2008 at 3:52 pm |
It is so hard to pick because there are so many good books out there.
I also am waiting very impatiently for a pre order book (well I’m not sure if it is on pre order yet. Let me look. YES! last I looked it wasn’t.)
Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke comes out in Oct. I have been waiting for well over a year for this book. It might be almost 2 years.
Another book I’m looking forward to reading is Fancy Pants by Cathy Marie Hake.
Your generosity is amazing. Thanks for offering up a good read.
April 14, 2008 at 7:53 pm |

April 14, 2008 at 8:10 pm |
It’s tough to choose, but I think I’d have to pick “Flatbreads and Flavours” by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid.
I do read a lot just for fun, but when I’m choosing books I’d like to own I often pick things I know I’ll refer to.
April 14, 2008 at 9:59 pm |

oh wow! Me?! YAY!! I am debating what to do with my copy. I may donate it to our library, but…maybe I will regift it to a friend? I am excited. Wish it could be autographed, lol. I LOVED this book! Thanks for the contest. Um…I need to find your email addy, as it would be silly to put my addy on here, right?
April 15, 2008 at 7:37 am |

April 16, 2008 at 11:32 pm |
Oooh, these are so fun. I still haven’t picked up World Without End by Ken Follett. It’s prequel rocked.
April 17, 2008 at 8:35 pm |

I have wanted to read “For the love of Rachael” by Dail Cantrell. I am the mom to a former 28 weeker and this author actually lives in my home town but I’ve never read the book, and his baby was born a preemie.
