Monday Book Giveaway (August 4, 2008)

By katrinastonoff

I’m limping along on a borrowed machine, but I had to give a book away. Today’s winner is Bren H. who chose The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak from among the books I’ve mentioned (an excellent choice!). Congratulations, Bren! Please send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, and I’ll get your book in the mail.

For next week, I have a copy of Stephanie Myer’s brand new book, Breaking Dawn. If you haven’t started reading this hot vampire series (targeted at teens, but women like me eat it like proverbial bonbons), you can choose instead the first book in the series, Twilight, or her sci-fi thriller for adults, The Host.

To win, just comment below before noon Sunday (Pacific Time). I’ll choose a winner either at random, like today, or from one of my hats (if I have my computer back). I’ll choose a winner Monday (or thereabouts — it’ll depend on my computer situation). Contest open to anyone on the planet who has access to reliable mail service. Good luck!
