Your comments were SO fun to read. Thank you. I love hearing how enthusiastic you are about books. I wish I had 72 Stephanie Myer books to give away! Sadly, I only have one. But I do a giveaway every Monday, and a couple of times a month (including today), you get to choose either any book, or any book I’ve mentioned (which would, of course, include Twilight, Breaking Dawn, and The Host from now on). So keep coming back, and try again if you didn’t win. If nothing else, it’ll give you something to do while you’re waiting out the 120 people ahead of you in the library’s hold line.
If you DID win … then your name must be BunnyB! Congratulations, BunnyB! Please send your shipping information and your choice of the three books to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, and I’ll get your book in the mail!
For today, once again (and just in time) it’s YOUR CHOICE! Any book (well, any book readily available for $25 or less, not including shipping). This can be a second chance at Breaking Dawn, or some other book you’ve been Jonesing for. Just leave a comment with the name of the book, before noonish Sunday (Pacific Time), and come back next Monday to see if you’ve won!
Contest open to anyone on the planet who has access to reliable mail service, even if you’re my best friend, you won today, or you gave birth to me (Hi, Mom!). And hopefully next week, I’ll have my computer back and can return to posting hat pictures. Good luck!

Falling Up by Shel Silverstein would be the book of my choice if I were to get any book in the world. You see, I love reading to my girls (and even my fifteen year old will fall into the younger child stance just to get a earful of the books). I’m a big fan of Shel and always have been

Oh, fun contest! I’d like to enter for Driving Sideways by Jess Riley. I’ve wanted this book as soon as I heard about. I hear it’s awesome, and the kidney disease the main character has in the book is the same one my mom has, so it kind of hits close to home in that respect.

Hi! Congratulation to BunnyB! I envy her…
So it’s possible to choose ANY book? Even if it isn’t a novel? What a lovely idea!
I wish I could win The Paper Home, by Labeena Ishaque, I really want that book! Thank you for the chance!
August 12, 2008 at 11:23 am
Hi! Great idea to let us choose the book, but it’s really hard to pick one out of millions!
I think I’d choose Breaking dawn… Thank you and… I keep my fingers crossed!

LOL
August 12, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Thanks for offering the giveaway! I just saw this book on Amazon while browsing craft books: Taking Flight: Inspiration And Techniques To Give Your Creative Spirit Wings by Kelly Rae Roberts. It won’t be released until Sept 2nd, but it looks like it’s chockful of inspiration!

Ooh, enter me! I’d go for “We Need To Talk About Kevin” by Lionel Shriver. It’s on my book list and one I’ve wanted to read for a while.
August 13, 2008 at 1:38 am
Hmm. This is a toughie. I think it is list time.
The * means book title.
*The Alchemyst or *The Magician by Michael Scott. *Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder. *Enchanted, Inc. *Once Upon Stilettos *Damsel Under Stress or *Don’t Hex With Texas by Shanna Swendson. *I Was a Teenage Popsicle or *Beyond Cool by Bev Katz Rosenbaum. *Generation Dead by Daniel Walters. *Seeing Redd by: Frank Beddor.
I think that is a good enough list, don’t you? If I win, you choose because I like surprises and this way if you can’t find one book, you have many others to choose from!

The book would be “Dread”… from http://www.tiltingatwindmills.net/buystuff.html
It’s a guide to creating interesting horror-based stories (atmosphere, tension, interesting characters), where the old block game Jenga is by the players to exercise narrative control. Need to stare down a werewolf, with your back up against a roaring bonfire? Or are you trying to distract the crazed psycopath while your friend is getting the car started? Make some pulls… and hope the tower doesn’t fall!
