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!

August 6, 2008 at 1:20 am
Hey there! This is one of those book series’ that have recently come into my vision. I’ve never read them, but heard good things about them (an SF Magazine that I read gave The Host a good review, because it’s just been released over here.) So, if I win, could I have either Twilight or The Host, please.
Ta muchly,
love
Stephen.

Congrats Bren! =D And thanks so much Katrina for yet another awesome contest! I love Stephenie Meyer and YA books! I’ve read the Twilight Saga apart from Breaking Dawn, and I haven’t had a chance to read The Host yet. I would love to be entered! Can’t wait to hear what you think about Breaking Dawn. I’m also sending an imaginary Get Well Soon card to your computer! Thanks again,
~Lucy D =)
August 6, 2008 at 6:16 am
I’m definitely interested. I’ve heard a lot about the Twilight saga but haven’t read any of the books yet. This would be a great way for me to get started.

August 6, 2008 at 1:56 pm
I’m reading the Host right now & I would love a chance to win Breaking Dawn. Thanks books4shannon[at]gmail[dot]com
August 6, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Thanks for the wonderful opportunity! I’ve read all three books in the Twilight series and have The Host also! My friend is reading Breaking Dawn right now and was going to let me read it when she’s done but I like the chance for my own copy!
August 6, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I swear I’m not the Linda L from before. A very strange coincidence, eh? Anyway, I’d love a copy of the Host. I hope it restores my faith in Stephenie Meyer. I, unfortunately, didn’t enjoy Breaking Dawn as much as the first three.
August 6, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Sounds great! I haven’t started the series yet so I’d probably choose The Host. Thanks for the giveaway.
