Monday Book Giveaway (September 29, 2008)

by

We have two new winners: Ilissa H. and Sulz! Congratulations! Ilissa chose Confessions of a Bigamist by Kate Lehrer, and Sulz chose The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. If you’ll send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, I’ll get your books on their way to you.

For next week … I’ll bet you can see this coming! … I’m giving away a copy of The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry (brand new because there’s no way I’m letting go of my copy!). As you may know, I started the book Monday night and couldn’t resist telling you about it. I finished it Wednesday and posted a review last night.

To enter, just comment below (before noonish Sunday, Pacific Time). Then come back Monday to see if I’ve drawn your name from one of my hats. Contest open to anyone on the planet who has access to reliable mail service. Good luck!

Now, the hat from which Girly Girl drew today’s winners:

This is another vintage hat purchased on e-bay, one of the most unusual hats I own. It doesn’t have a label other than “Union made in USA.” It’s made of shaped velvet and netting.
