Here’s how you can enter:

Leaving a comment on this post will get you one entry.
To get three more entries, post about this on your blog with a link back to this post.
If you don’t have a blog, email five friends telling them about this giveaway and cc me on the email so I know you’ve sent it. This will get you three more entries. If you have a blog and still want to email five friends, be my guest.
To get another entry, tell me you’ve purchased and/or read The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton. This is an honor system, so please don’t lie.
To get another entry, tell me you’ve purchased and/or read A Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond. Again, this is an honor system, blah blah blah.
If you do four of the five options, I’ll give you an extra four entries. Get it? For doing four things, I’ll give you four extra entries. Aren’t I clever?

Here’s the best part: For every 50 entries, one person will be drawn. Up to five winners. SO, if I have 100 entries, then I’ll draw two names. If I have 150 entries, I’ll draw three names. So it behooves you (don’t you love that word, behoove?) to not only get as many entries in yourself, but to encourage other people to enter.

Sorry, rest-of-the-world…this contest is only open to residents of the US and Canada.

Oh, and this contest will close on Saturday, July 12th July 19th. I’ll draw a winner on Sunday, July 13th July 20th.

This is just amazing — how did you swing this?

This post counts for one, right? Plus, I blogged about it here: http://bookingmama.blogspot.com/2008/06/another-huge-giveaway.html (that’s 3 more.)

I have read (and loved) THE WEDNESDAY SISTERS. Here’s the link to my review:
http://bookingmama.blogspot.com/2008/06/review-wednesday-sisters.html (that’s 1 more)

I don’t think this counts, but just in case: THE YEAR OF FOG is sitting in my TBR pile.

I also e-mailed five of my friends and cc’d you on it – that’s 3 more.

Plus, I did 4 out of 5 for another 4 entries.

I think that gives me 12 entries (I think). I sure hope I win!

Wow! This is an awesome giveaway!!!
- I posted on my blog here.
- I have read Year of Fog.
- Wednesday Sisters is waiting for me at the library but not read it yet.
- I emailed 15 folks (my book club and my family) about the giveaway.
- I think that’s four options, so hopefully I’ll get a bonus.

Thanks so much to you and Hatchette!!!!

Please enter me into your fabulous contest!! I recently read A Year of Fog (got from the library after waiting forever) and it was good. I really enjoyed reading it! I purchased The Wednesday Sisters the other day but haven’t started reading it yet. Also, I’m blogging about this on my website at browneyedmaris.blogspot.com.
on July 9, 2008 at 12:05 pm eurydice

Ah I live for free books. And I have read the Year of Fog, although I borrowed it from the library. I really enjoyed it. The ending was depressing but very realistic.

I haven’t read A Year Of The Fog either but I love mysteries and can imagine the torment of the main Character, Abby Mason in trying to find the child. The Amazon blurb gives me good reason to seek out this book.

I would love to win any of the books you are giving away. They all look like really good reads. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.

I can’t imagine winning but being a member of a book club of teachers (who can SO NOT afford to buy books) this would be such a treat! I have just started to request ARCs this summer and writing reviews and have been surprisingly successful with both including now having personal contact with 3 authors I reviewed who email me advice about my own writing, etc. I have forwarded this contest to all my book club members but it would be great to go next week to club and say I had one. Thanks for listening! Karen Haney
