Celebrate

This week I'm celebrating two things; my 2,000th post and my 66th birthday. I thought I'd celebrate by giving away some books, since that's my thing. Just leave a comment if you're interested in winning one or more of these books. I'll do a different drawing for each book.

City Quilts:

Turn your love of urban cityscapes into beautiful quilts. In this book, you'll discover the secrets of minimalist design-how to find beauty in the basic elements of your environment. These projects deliver exciting, vivid results with solid color fabrics.

Shit My Dad Says:

This is one funny memoir. Halpern's dad is a great guy, a pull yourself up by your bootstraps, success story. He went from being a poor kid in Kentucky to an Oncologist in San Diego. For all his success, he has a tough time expressing his love for his sons and usually uses lots of colorful language in the process. This book is fabulous but it is "R" rated; Tuesday's with Morrie meets F My Life. One chapter had me laughing so hard, that my husband and grandson wanted to know what was going on; so I read it to them and they were soon laughing, too. I bought this copy for my daughter Carrie, but she'd already read it. This is a hardcover.

Room:

Told entirely in the language of the energetic, pragmatic five-year-old Jack, ROOM is a celebration of resilience and the limitless bond between parent and child, a brilliantly executed novel about what it means to journey from one world to another. This is an ARC, that will be published 9/13/10.

Oogy:

Heartwarming and redemptive, OOGY is the story of the people who were determined to rescue this dog against all odds, and of the family who took him home, named him "Oogy" (an affectionate derivative of ugly), and made him one of their own. This is an ARC that will be published 11/1/10.

Pocket Posh Logic 2: 100 Puzzles

As convenient as it is stylish and as enjoyable as it is fashionable, the Pocket Posh Logic 2 puzzle book features a cover with a contemporary tactile design and comes in a handy 4" x 6" size, making it a smart, sophisticated accessory that goes with anything. It also fits nicely into a purse or pocket. The Pocket Posh Logic 2 puzzle book is a great way to exercise your mind—and look great while doing it! I have 2 of these to give to perfectly logical people.

This give away is now closed. Thank you everyone, winners will be announced on Wednesday, 7/13.


This give away takes the place of my regular Monday Book Give Away.

The winner of last week's book give away is Allie.
