Me on A Summer Book Giveaway

At the end of July in Lake Forest Park, just north of Seattle, WA, there's a book signing going on. Some of you might recognize this as the place I drove almost 3 and a half hours to for Mindi Scott's book launch party for Freefall last October.

This time, there's more than 1 author at the event. :)

Suzanne Young (A Need So Beautiful), Kimberly Derting (Desires of the Dead), Lisa Schroeder (The Day Before), Cat Patrick (Forgotten), Mandy Hubbard (Ripple), and Eileen Cook (The Education of Hayley Kendrick) will be signing books and I imagine talking about them a little on Sunday, July 31st at Third Place Books. I have no idea what time, I've seen 4-5, 4-6, and 5:30 to 6:30. I'm going to aim to get there for 3/3:30, hedge my bets. It'll give me time to buy books. Hopefully it won't be too crowded when I get there. ;)

I'm also happy about this event because I get to see Mindi Scott again. She's so sweet. And I'll get a copy of Whisper from Phoebe Kitanidis since she didn't mail it (*phew*) and Canada Post is still twitchy/on strike/on lockdown (not anymore, yay).

Now, because I love you blog followers, I'm going to get a signed book to give away. I probably won't buy it until I get down there because it'll be cheaper (I know the dollar is worth the same but books cost less in the US).

So, I'm giving you the option. You can comment here with which book you'd want to win the most out of the 6 in the above picture. They're their most recent books, meaning they'll probably be at the store on the event date. It just makes sense to me. And maybe, maybe, if I find a copy, I might get Mindi to sign a copy of Freefall to give away at a later date.

NEW! Because I love books, there will now be two guaranteed winners. :D So there's a greater chance of you winning!

So. Comment here with your name, e-mail, & what book you'd prefer. Retweeting or adding the giveaway to your blog (anywhere on your blog is fine, you don't have to write up a post if you don't want to) gets you another entry. I'll be keeping a list of who enters, what book they want, & how many entries they've earned. Residents of Canada and the US only. Sorry, international peeps, unless you're willing to pay for shipping.

And if, somehow, by you guys spreading the word so much, about 30 or 40 people enter, I might add a another book and another winner. :)

The giveaway ends on Sunday, July 24th at 11:59pm PDT. Make sure you enter before then. :)
