Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway!!

Posted on July 22, 2007 by diatribal

It is finally time to join everyone over at Rocks in My Dryer for the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway!

I know, I should probably have gone and gotten a brand-spanking-new something to advertise, but I didn’t. What I have for you is an honest to goodness copy of Jennifer Weiner’s The Guy Not Taken!

The Guy Not Taken

The good news is, it is in great condition, but I have already read it. I bought it in the airport last week and promptly devoured on the plane. As always, I love her work. I have read everything she has put out, to date. I have also chosen to keep all of her books instead of list them on PaperBack Swap, just in case I want to read them again or loan them out.

This book is different from her previous novels, however. The Guy Not Taken is a collection of short stories that the author has written over the past 15 years or so. Some are brand new characters for us, some are old friends. It was a perfect “Airport Read.” (You know, easy stopping points.)

So, now it’ your turn! If you like stories that make you laugh, cry and think, leave me a comment below to enter into my drawing! The post will be up all week, with the winner being chosen randomly and posted on Shannon’s site around 8am EST on Friday, July 27th. In the meantime, head on over to Rocks in My Dryer to check out all the other Bloggy Giveaway Goodness.

*UPDATE: I’m closing the contest to new comments at 12:01 AM on 7/27/07.
