Monday Book Giveaway! (May 12, 2008)

I’m pleased to announce two new winners: Linda and Don! They win a hardback copy of either Tess Gerritsen’s The Bone Garden or Karin Slaughter’s Triptych (since Linda’s number was chosen first, she gets first choice). If you’ll send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, I’ll get your new books in the mail.

For this week, once again, it’s any book you like! Your choice (as long as it’s readily available and under $25, not counting shipping). Just post below the name of the book you’re sighing after, and about noon Sunday (Pacific Time), I’ll choose a winner. As always, contest is open to anyone, anywhere, who has access to reliable mail service.

Here’s the hat I chose the winners from:

As you can see, it’s a man’s fedora, specifically a Stetson. I can’t remember where I got it, but one of my father’s friends might have given it to me. I wore it a lot in college, and it looks especially cute now with my short hair.

    “Daring Book for Girls!” Please enter me in your drawing. I hope you have a better week. Thanks,Cindi

  6. Ginnie Says:

    Okay, let me be the oddball here. I’d love Southern Living’s Annual Recipes 2007. My mother started collecting these for me when they were first published. I have every one to date except last year’s.

  7. Shama-Lama Mama Says:

    Oooh, I would love World Without End by Ken Follett! The first of the two parts was so amazing, I can’t not read the second. Thanks!

  8. Christy H. Says:

    You have such awesome hats and generous giveaways!
    If I were lucky enough to win I would choose THE HOST by Stephenie Meyers.

  9. Tez Miller Says:

    Mario Acevedo’s The Undead Kama Sutra. Mass market paperback, I think, so should be good pricewise. I have the first two in the series, but Undead (Book 3) hasn’t made it to Australia yet.

    Have a lovely day! :-)

  10. Teresa W. Says:

    The book I’m looking forward to is Unmasqued by Collette Gale.

  11. bunnyb Says:

  13. Swapna Krishna Says:

    I am DYING to read Salman Rushdie’s The Enchantress of Florence, but I used up my self-imposed book quota on Stephenie Meyer’s The Host. So if you could help me out with that, it would be much appreciated! If it has to be a book currently released, rather than a pre-order, I’m lusting after The Fiction Class by Susan Breen as well! Thanks for the giveaway!

  14. Judi Says:

    I too am dying to read The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I’m really curious to see how she writes for adults instead of young adults and to start a new series by her.

    Really great of you all to have this contest every week! Once I move over to a host that let’s me put more than 25 links up, I’ll link to you as well, but this time I found you via Amberkatze’s Book Blog.

  15. Sarah M Says:

    I just saw that I’m not the only one commenting hoping to win The Host by Stephenie Meyer! I love her, she’s a great author. I’d really love the see her take on aliens since she changed how people view vampires. This is a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win.

  16. Amber Says:

    What a great contest idea! I may have to use this idea on my blog.

    If I win I would love The Enchanted World of Jessica Galbreth. It has been on my wishlist for a while and even though I have found alot of places to order it from I haven’t really had the funds to get it…Seeing as I spend all my book money on new releases.

    Good luck everyone!

  17. Gothamgal Says:

    If possible, I would like to win a copy of Joe College by Tom Perotta. I’m going through an insane Perotta phase, and this would be an awesome win.
