100 Post Celebration Contest
This is post number 82 since I began blogging at the end of February. I have decided that I would like to do something special for my 100th post, I would like to share with my wonderful readers some of the fabulous books I have read.
Here’s how it will work:
- Start looking through all of the books I have reviewed. You can just browse the blog or click the ‘book review’ tag.
- Leave a comment on THIS POST telling me which book you would like to receive and why.
- I will draw up to three winners. If 15 or fewer people enter, I will draw one winner; 16-30 people, two winners. Over 30 people, I will select three winners. If I have a really overwhelming response, I may be persuaded to have even more winners.
- Winners will be drawn and notified with my 100th post or on June 18th, whichever comes first (due to scheduling).
- Books will be ordered from Amazon and sent to you, unless the winner chooses one that I’m willing to part with that hasn’t gone on bookmooch, in which case I will send the book media mail. Books will be ordered/sent out by July 7th, so if you win and don’t get back to me by then with your address, you’ll be out of luck and I MAY choose someone else.
Want more chances to win? There are two ways to do so:
- Leave comments around the site. Anywhere, on any post. Any comment you leave from now until the drawing will be considered an additional entry in the drawing, as long as you make sure to leave a message here about what book you want before the drawing ends.
- Blog about my contest on your own blog (just make sure to email about it if you don’t blog on Wordpress) with a link here and double your chances to win.
A couple of notes about the contest:
- If you choose a book that hasn’t been released yet, I will let you decide if you want it pre-ordered for you from Amazon, or if you want a different book (if I’m not willing/able to let go of mine).
- Comments changing your decision from one book to another are allowed, but will not count towards your extra chances to win.
- People’s extra chances do not count towards extra winners being chosen. There have to actually be 16 different people entering in order for 2 books to be pulled, no matter how many chances everyone has.
- When you leave a comment, please either leave your website or include the link to your email so I can get ahold of you if you win.
Attention: This contest has ended. For results click here.

OK – finally decided which book I’d like to win. The 19th Wife. For some reason, I’m drawn to books like this, probably because it’s so far from a life that I could image living.

Jennifer,
Yes, Canadians can enter, not a problem. However I’ll send your book the cheapest way psosible, so it may take awhile.

Thank you so much! I’d love to read the 19th wife

I blogged here: http://quiverfullfamily.com/blog/2008/05/28/around-the-web-roundup/ Thanks!

This is such a generous contest. Wow.
I’d like to read ‘The Translator: A Tribesman’s Memoir of Darfur, by Daoud Hari’. I’ve heard so much about it and it seems like an inspiring piece of writing.
Thanks for the chance!

You’ll laugh when I say this but I REALLY want Two Brothers: One North, One South. Even though it seems that everyone that has attempted it hated it I can’t help but be intrigued. It also seems that even though people didn’t like it they don’t want to part with it (or they’ve already burned it!)

I’d love to read The 19th Wife since I didn’t get picked for an Early Reviewer copy. Thanks for making this contest open to Canadians!
[Reply]
I love this idea!
The book I would like is Have I Got a Guy for You. I have actually just posted on comment on your review.
I am going over to my blog to add this right now.

I forgot tell you why I would like that particular book – hum! I am 45 and basically have very little hope of finding the ‘right’ guy – so reading books like this make me feel like I am not alone! oh and reminds me that thank goodness I don’t have a mother who keeps trying to fix me up (hey! maybe its all my mom’s fault….) he! he!

I’d like to be entered for A Year Without “Made in China”. As for why? I think it would be incredibly hard to live a year without having anything made from China. They make too many things, I think reading her struggles would be fun.
Also I made a post about this contest over at http://proudbookworm.blogspot.com/2008/06/contest-news.html
Good Luck everyone!

I’d like to be entered for Someday My Prince Will Come by Jerramy Fine. As for why, I’ve talked to the author about and have read numerous things about it and just sounds hilarious.
I also posted a blog on my myspace about the contest, even though theres not a whole lot of time left, lol.

Boy, I just found your site and I counted! I thought your review of The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson sounded great and I would love to read it. Great idea, if I keep at it I hope to reach 100 posts.
[Reply]
Cool contest! I would love a copy of Diane Ackerman’s The Zookeeper’s Wife. Thanks for hosting!

Hi:
Good site, interesting reviews. I would love to get a copy of The Translator. Ever since meeting Romeo Dallaire, the author of Shake Hands with the Devil, and a powerful speaker on Darfur, I have been hoping to read as much as possible on the region.
[Reply]
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova – I’ve been wanting to read this book for a long time.
Haha, it’s a good think I found this now since you’re on your 99th post!
[Reply]
I would love a copy of Generation Dead by Daniel Water. It looks so good!!
[Reply]
Lauren, two problems with that. 1) I never reviewed that book, so it isn’t being offered. 2) The contest is closed as the end of the post notes in green. Happy reading though!
