Monday Book Giveaway (April 28)

Today’s winners are (rat-at-tat-tat!): Tara of Tara’s View of the World and Matilda Sue! Congratulations! They win either The Whole World Over by Julia Glass or What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman (Tara gets first choice). Send your preference and shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com.

For next week, you can win any book I’ve mentioned. It can be a book I’ve already given away, one I’ve referred to on the blog, something I’ve reviewed here or here, or any book on either of my giveaway shelves. Here’s your chance to get a book you wanted in the past and didn’t win.

Just tell me in a comment what book you want before noon Sunday (Pacific Time), and I’ll choose a winner from one of my hats. Contest is open to anyone, anywhere, as long as mail service can reach you.

Here’s the hat from which Mad Scientist picked today’s winners.

This is my newest hat. My niece bought it for me at an estate sale and give it to me Friday. I can’t tell how old it is, but the designer is Patricia Underwood, so it could be 25 years old or brand new. Patricia Underwood is known for unadorned hats that depend on material and shape to be interesting. This one appears to be felt (I can’t tell if it’s wool felt or fur felt), but there’s no label to say for sure. The crown is higher than I usually wear, but I just love the shape. I put it on in the parking lot when my niece gave it to me, and everybody who drove past stopped to look.

Of course, that could be because I’m just really funny looking and have nothing to do with the great hat!
