First Ever Giveaway
You know how sometimes you get emails that are all “would your blog readers like to win a free case of Depends? Please click here to see how you can host this awesome giveaway?” I laugh a little. And then I delete the email. Because I’m fairly sure that very few of you need Depends. And if you do, I bet the last place you want to procure such a necessity is on a blog.
This giveaway is, thankfully, not for Depends, but for a book called The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan. It’s number six on the New York Times Best Seller list right now, so you may already be familiar with it. It’s a memoir about Kelly’s experiences as a mother and her battle with cancer. I actually saw this book on the shelf at the library over the summer and almost picked it up, but as usual, I’d maxed my library card completely out (who can possibly stay under fifteen books at one time?!) and I had to pass it up.
The giveaway is being hosted by The Daily Grommet and they are hosting Kelly and her book, The Middle Place, today. You can go visit The Daily Grommet (there’s a short video interview with her) or check out the comments section over there, which Kelly is participating in.
To win, all you need to do is leave me a comment. About the book or not about the book. I’m not picky.
On Thursday, I’ll randomly select two people from the commenters and your book will be on its way. And then you’ll have something to anticipate coming in the mail. Life doesn’t get much better than that.
Listen: I know I’m going to win, but I don’t want the book, You can keep it.
I clearly love books (and mail!)
The book sounds really good! Count me in 🙂
I would love to win the book! I have been inspired by the volume of books that you read and have subsequently challenged myself to keep doubling the number of books I read per month until I reach a number that I feel satisfied with and that would be too difficult for me to double again. If you are able to recommend this book, then I am confident it would be a good read.
I would love to get a new book! I hope I win!
When could I possibly turn down a free book? Answer: never.
Randomly pick me. Capiche?
You can only check out 15 books at a time? That’s almost a crime! My local library allows up to 100! Can you believe that?
Ooh! Pick me, pick me! That sounds like a really good book.
I’d love to win this book 🙂
Who wouldn’t want a free book?
i love winning stuff… and a book would definitely be the coolest thing i’ve ever won (the only other thing probably being a bear i won from my dentist for having no cavities. i was 8ish.) pick me, pick me! 🙂
Aren’t giveaways fun? Sounds like an interesting book!
Sounds like an interesting read, although today’s Daily Grommet is a lovely MnM Jada Millefiori Beaded Belt…hmmmm…
Fun! I would totally love a new book. I’m always picking books from your recommenations- though I’m not nearly fast enough to keep up with all of them! Thanks!
It looks like an interesting book!
Free books are awesome. Sign me up!
It looks fabulous! I’d love to read it- and I never mind owning another book:)
