Sunday Salon--Giveaway

I'm very excited this weekend to go over 50 followers. When I was at 49 the other day, I told my mom I would have a giveaway when I hit 50. Which I hit the next day. So here's the giveaway:

I have gently read (as in I read them only once and didn't tote them around in my purse!) copies of "The Story of A Marriage" by Andrew Sean Greer; "Two Years, No Rain" by Shawn Klomparens; "Unaccustomed Earth" by Jhumpa Lahiri; and "The Dogs of Babel" by Carolyn Parkhurst. Contest runs through September 7th. Here are the rules:













1. Giveaway is open to U.S. addresses only
2. One entry if you leave a comment letting me know which book(s) you're interested in and a
way to contact you.
3. One entry if you are a follower or become a follower.
4. One entry if you add something about the giveaway on your blog (leave me a permalink)
5. One entry if you Twitter about the giveaway (leave me a link).
6. One entry if you Stumble the giveaway (okay,I really don't even understand Stumble; but if
you figure out how to do it let me know and I'll figure it out!)

Thanks to all of my followers! I would be having fun doing this if I were the only one reading it, but knowing that you're out there makes it so much better!

    Congratulations on hitting 50 followers!

    I was looking at my Google Reader following about three weeks ago which was at about 14. I mentioned it to my husband an he asked me which domain name I was looking under. I'd been looking under my old one. When I checked the new one, I got a big surprise. LOL

    I don't follow you on blogger, but I do follow your blog through Google Reader. Think of all the followers you might have out there you aren't aware of!

    Please don't worry about entering me in the giveaway. I just wanted to drop in and say hello. :-)

    you don't understand stumble? ooooh. I LOVE stumble upon!!! well, I love shawn klomparens but I'd actually be happy with any of those books.

    I follow you on my bloglines - not sure if I have clicked the "follow" link on your page, but I never use those anyway because I use bloglines to update my follows.
