TSS: Contests Old and New
This is a big contest week here at Devourer of Books! On Thursday, we finally discovered the winners of the Far World contest, and on Friday we discovered that I have been entered in a contest! I feel extremely honored to have been one of the top 5 nominees for Best General Book Blog as a part of Book Bloggers Appreciation Week; you can view all the nominees in all of the categories here and vote *subliminal message: voteformevoteformevoteforme: end subliminal message* here.
I will post my winners from the Matrimony giveaway at the end of the post, but first I would like to announce a contest for the wonderful new historical fiction novel “The Heretic’s Daughter”
I reviewed this book as part of a Blog Stop Blog Tour last Monday. I really, really enjoyed this book and am very pleased that Hatchette Book Group has agreed to mail out a copy of this book to one lucky winner from this blog. Because this book was written by an actual ancestor of Martha Carrier (the protagonist’s mother), this is going to be a themed give-away. On the post of the review (NOT on this post) I would like you to share one thing from your family’s history you think would be interesting to research as Kathleen Kent researched her family’s history. If you cannot think of any one specifically interesting ancestor, you can also just mention what time period of your family’s history you think would be interesting to study (immigration, Civil War, whatever). As usual, you can triple your chances by blogging about this contest, or by emailing 5 friends to tell them about this contest and copying me at devourers.books(at)gmail(dot)com. Enter by Wednesday, September 17th.
Now, for the winner of a beautiful, inscribed copy of Matrimony!
I put my whole list of names into Random.org’s list randomizer, and here’s what came out:
There were 42 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

My mother’s parents immigrated from Lithuania. I have a picture of my grandfather in his uniform when he was in the Czar’s army. I would love to research that. Please enter me in your contest to win The Heretic’s Daughter. Thanks!

Wow! What a great idea!
I’m new to Sunday Salon, but not new to book giveaways. I give away signed copies of my own novels quite often.
Please consider signing up for my Divine News.
Happy reading!

I don’t think I’ll enter that competition because I like in the UK and also have a towering TBR pile that is in danger of falling down and squashing me…but just want to say what an absolutely gorgeous cover andI really like the idea for the competition too – really original.

I really, really need to read Heretics Daughter. I doubt I’ve got a compelling enough story, but I’m heading over there right now to register.

I’d like to know more about my grandmother’s side of the family. She wouldn’t ever discuss them because she was ashamed of them. The rumors running around the family are that they were moonshine runners in the mountains of Alabama or that they were religious snake handlers. Who knows if it’s true but it sure makes an interesting topic of discussion at family reunions. Heh.
Thanks! :0)
