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.

Love the hat! I like the leaves coming down and the color is one of my favorites.

When the only book on my nightstand is Marion Nestle’s “What to Eat,” it’s time to get some more good fiction. This sounds great!

Throw my name into the hat please! Any book which makes you rave about it that much has to be worth reading…
I just hope you rave about my book as much when you eventually get it. (Which reminds me, do you want an extra copy – free, gratis and for no money – to give away?)

I heard that even though the author made up the divination by lace, there were people who came to her and said they read lace too. I’ve been looking forward to reading it.
