So, there are a lot of book review blogs out there, and I read some of them. (Not all of them. Because then seriously--I'd never eat. Or bathe. Or write. Because there are a lot of people reviewing books online, people).
Sometimes the book review blogs will let people win the book they've just reviewed--they get copies from publishers or writers.
Well, as a thank you to my faithful readerfriends, I too am going to give away books! But here's the thing: I will only give away the books that I win from other blogs. (No publishers are giving me free books to give away. Not yet, anyway....)
So! The first book I'm going to give away is called Violets of March, by a ladywriter named Sarah Jio. I won this book from the book review site Chick Lit is Not Dead.
Here is a little synopsis:
Ten years ago, Emily wrote a best-seller and married the handsome Joel. Now she's suffering from writers' block and Joel has left her for another woman. Emily retreats to her great aunt's place on Bainbridge Island, where she discovers a red velvet diary, within which is a mystery no one on the island wants to help her solve....A little bit romance, a little bit intrigue, a little bit history and a little bit humour.
This book can be yours! I will send it anywhere in the world (or I will once Canada Post get their demands met and they can stop the strike)!
All you have to do is answer this question:
How did Katie meet Bobby? I've been trying to figure out the genesis of their relationship and I'm not sure about it yet. Did they
A) Meet on the subway one day when Bobby forgot his tokens and Katie paid his fair;
B)Take a first aid course together at a downtown community centre;
C)You make it up! Tell me your idea of how they met!
