Special Hanukkah Giveaway!
*Sticky post! Scroll down for the new stuff*
To keep the celebration of Hanukkah going and to point your attention toward my review of Jeffrey Overstreet's ground-breaking debut novel, Auralia's Colors, over at Front Street Reviews, I thought I'd -- reluctantly! -- give my copy to one of you.
Simply leave a message in this post and on Dec. 11th, the last night of Hanukkah, I'll pick a winner at random and share this great read. You can be anywhere in the world. You can celebrate any religion, sleep with either gender (or both), have any color skin, be right-handed, be left-handed, be like me and be ambidextrous ... the possibilities are endless.
The only thing I ask is that you read the book and tell me what you thought of it.
One more thing: I've registered it at BookCrossing. There's no need for you to make a journal entry, although it's fun to watch where a book travels and what people think of it.
Really. Read it. That's enough.
Have a wonderful Hanukkah. May the week be full of light and miracles.
(and for those of you waiting for more about Springer, keep reading. There will be more about this year's Musical Hanukkah Celebration. If you're lost about Springer, click here. The link in the Hanukkah Celebration will only take you to last year's post, so you can read from the beginning.)
Edited on Wednesday to say: check out Overstreet's reaction to my review here!

Cheers

You're spreading holiday cheer, and it sounds like an interesting story. How could I not leave a comment?!
Plus, I'm ambidextrous like you - maybe that'll help my chances. :-)

I came here via JM's site. I'll also post a comment about this contest on my blog. I don't use blogger so I'll leave my blog address in case I win (www.auriacortes.com). This way you'll know how to reach me.

Ooh! Ooh! She said anywhere in the world! Pick me! Pick me!!
Seriously though, I'd love a shot at the book, and want to wish you a very happy Hannukah as well.

Have a Happy Chanukah (I know it's an incorrect transliteration, but I got used to it when I was a kid and we made up our own rules for playing with dredels since the official ones were boring).
I found you through JM, BTW (and yes, she does rock). I didn't think of giving presents to readers - what I'm doing is blogging historical recipes for fried food, which is sadly educational.

I would enjoy this book so much. I will definitely spread the word. tonight is the night - latkes and yummies.
Hi, My dad is ambidextrous too! I don't know many people that are. I have been reading reviews about "Aurelia's Colors" and I know I would enjoy reading it and then passing it on! Enjoy your holiday season!Thanks, Cindi

Virgins? Of course they qualify.
However, they may not want to hang around here long, lest Trevor get wind of their condition and help them change it. Virgins have a habit of melting when he gives them THE LOOK. Then again, so do most non-virgins.

This sounds like such a good book!! Thanks for the giveaway!

I liked the review and afyet that offer of a free book, I followed you here from Gather!
I am a Hindu, live in Delhi, with straight orientations.
Will that do to throw my hat in?
Any way, I am doing it!
Consider me in!
PS: When does TRevor come to give me that look?

Hey there, Susan. Chag sameach (and presumably Michele would have a similar wish for you, as she sent me over today to share in the Judaic goodness of this holiday.)
You've inspired me to write about Chanukah. I've got a draft ready to go...will publish later today once I've dug up an old column that I wrote for the good folks of my little burg.
Thanks for keeping the lights on!

Came by way of JM's site. The book sounds intriguing, so I'll throw my hat in. You can visit my blogspot, but most current stuff is at etoiline.com.
Hi!
Hi!
I suppose Michele wants me have this book. Why would she send me here otherwise? Would you please consider all those signs while drawing?
:D
:D
A free book just for reading and sharing my thought on it... I'm in! I think I fit into one of those catagories.
Hey, I stopped by to let you know I posted the stories from my TT - you're up for a prize, so come and see! :-)
I love holidays, books and contests! And Hunukkah happens to be my holiday, too! I'll check out the book whether I win or not! Have a great weekend. Michele sent me and I'm glad she did!

Happy Hannukah, Susan.
What a lovely idea! Michele sent me to say hello and see what's been going on west of Mars.
The reviews of the book sound interesting - I am a huge fan of Trudi Canavan, and Auralia's Colors sound along the same lines.

'May the week be full of light and miracles' - what a beautiful wish, Susan. May yours be especially so.
Somehow, I knew that dropping in and reading your blog would make a special holiday that much more so.
I've been ODing on the latkes, mishpacha and community togetherness thing for much of the past week. It's a little crazy and a little much, but I'd have it no other way.
Looks like you're having a similarly good time. Yay!
