To contribute to the BBAW festivities, I’m holding a giveaway featuring 5 of some of my more recent reads. Why 5? Because there are 5 days of BBAW! And I’m excited about each and every one of them!
The 5 books I’m giving away are:
The only catch is that these are the copies I read. So they are not brand-spankin’ new. They are, however, in very good shape. And since I don’t smoke and I have no pets, they are allergen-free. :-) And I’ll ship worldwide, so this is open to book lovers everywhere.
Oh wait. There’s another catch. Did you know I parodied a song for BBAW? Go check it out. Do you have it stuck in your head? Hah! Now…what I need from you is suggestions for my next parody, the one I’ll write for next month’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon. So in order to enter this giveaway, all you have to do is:
1. Leave a comment with a suggestion for a song that you’d like to see mangled into a bookish parody.
2. Let me know which of the 5 books you are interested in winning. You can enter for all of them, but you can only win one.
That’s all! I’ll draw all of the winners next Saturday, so make sure you check back then!

P.S. … If I’m in your feed reader, please make sure that you’ve updated the feed in the last two weeks. While the website address is still the same, I moved from Blogger to WordPress and broke my feed. Thanks bunches!

Any books that are in good condition will always be a nice prize

Like a Virgin is always a winner.
