Testimony by Anita Shreve-Book Giveaway




Wow!! Another book giveaway.



Complements of the Hachette Group, I am hosting another book raffle. This time you have a chance to win a copy of Testimony, by Anita Shreve. I am such a fan of her writing and I know there are many of you that are as well. If you have never read any of her books, now is your chance to win one.



This is the promotional summary from the Hachette Group website:



At a New England boarding school, a sex scandal is about to break. Even more shocking than the sexual acts themselves is the fact that they were caught on videotape. A Pandora's box of revelations, the tape triggers a chorus of voices--those of the men, women, teenagers, and parents involved in the scandal--that details the ways in which lives can be derailed or destroyed in one foolish moment.

Writing with a pace and intensity surpassing even her own greatest work, Anita Shreve delivers in TESTIMONY a gripping emotional drama with the impact of a thriller. No one more compellingly explores the dark impulses that sway the lives of seeming innocents, the needs and fears that drive ordinary men and women into intolerable dilemmas, and the ways in which our best intentions can lead to our worst transgressions.


Contest Rules:



Five books will be raffled off in a random drawing. The contest will end at 7:00PM on May 25th...my birthday. You must have have a US address and no PO Box to win. Celebrate with me again and win a copy of Testimony. Yippee!!! All you have to do is make sure you are following my blog and leave a comment.

Made in the USA-Book Giveaway




Complements of the Hachette Group, I am hosting another book raffle. This time you have a chance to win a copy of Made in the USA, by Billie Letts. She also wrote Where the Heart Is, one of my personal favorites.



This is the promotional summary from the Hachette Group website:

The bestselling author of WHERE THE HEART IS returns with a heartrending tale of two children in search of a place to call home.


Lutie McFee's history has taught her to avoid attachments...to people, to places, and to almost everything. With her mother long dead and her father long gone to find his fortune in Las Vegas, 15-year-old Lutie lives in the god-forsaken town of Spearfish, South Dakota with her twelve-year-old brother, Fate, and Floy Satterfield, the 300-pound ex-girlfriend of her father. While Lutie shoplifts for kicks, Fate spends most of his time reading, watching weird TV shows and worrying about global warming and the endangerment of pandas. As if their life is not dismal enough, one day, while shopping in their local Wal-Mart, Floy keels over and the two motherless kids are suddenly faced with the choice of becoming wards of the state or hightailing it out of town in Floy's old Pontiac. Choosing the latter, they head off to Las Vegas in search of a father who has no known address, no phone number and, clearly, no interest in the kids he left behind.

MADE IN THE U.S.A. is the alternately heartbreaking and life-affirming story of two gutsy children who must discover how cruel, unfair and frightening the world is before they come to a place they can finally call home.




Rules: Five books will be raffled off in a random drawing. The contest will end at 7:00PM on May 25th...my birthday. You must have have a US address and no PO Box to win. Celebrate again with me and win this moving novel. Yippee!!! All you have to do is make sure you are following my blog and leave a comment. The comment must include why you want to read this book to satisfy my curiosity. Good luck to everyone. :)
