More Summer reading

by Mir at 2:18 pm on June 13, 2009 in Contests

Y’all were so interested in that last contest, for Joshilyn’s latest book, that her publicist was generous enough to suggest I offer up some other books from her house. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do! This weekend I have up for grabs five copies of Tess Callahan’s debut novel, April & Oliver, fresh off the presses and already garnering rave reviews. If you want to learn more about it, Joshilyn just did an awesome 3 Questions with the author, although her contest over there to win a book is already over. That’s okay! I’ve got five copies up for grabs here!

Want to win one? Of course you do! First go read the contest rules and regulations, then come back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (that’s 8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Sunday, June 14th, 2009 for an entry into the contest. Winners to be determined by random number generation and overall dark-and-twisty-ness (that’s a nod both to Gray’s Anatomy and this book).

Ready? Go!
