Monday* Book Giveaway (November 24, 2008)

Today’s winner is … (insert drum roll here) … Carol!!! Congratulations! Carol, if you’ll send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, I’ll getSunshine by Robin McKinley on its way to you. 

For next week, I have a copy of M. J. Rose’s The Memorist. The Memorist is the latest in Rose’s paranormal suspense series on reincarnation (the first wasThe Reincarnationist), but it can definitely stand alone. They are fascinating reading!

To win, comment below by noonish Sunday, and come back next Monday to see if I’ve pulled your name from one of my hats (you’ll want to come back next week anyway because it’s time for another “Your Choice, Any Book”). Contest open to anyone on the planet who has access to reliable mail service.

Now, the hat from which my friend Liz drew Carol’s number:

This is a great hat by Anna Rizzo, purchased from Samuel’s Hats. It’s made of black fur felt with a gray satin bow. 

I highly recommend Samuel’s Hats, btw. Samuel is the sweetest milliner ever, and he has a selection, bar none. Someday, when I’m a rich and famous author? I’m going to stop in at his shop and buy a hat every single time I go to New York to visit my agent or publisher. In the meantime, thank goodness, he sells online as well. I window shop here at least once a month.

*Yes. The Monday Book Giveaway this week is on Tuesday. Again. *double sigh* But the good news is, I have finished my latest revision of East of Jesus AND gotten 30,000 words on a new novel for Nano.   

Edited to add the photo. It took a long time to download from my camera because I was also downloading a hilarious video of my nephew JR singing “YMCA.” I cannot, sadly, post the hilarious video without JR’s permission, so you’ll have to nag him if you want to see it.

Edited again to put back all the line breaks that WordPress mysteriously deleted from this entry. If this looks weird, please let me know (katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com). When gremlins get into the software, who knows what could happen?!
