Announcing: Book Give-Away! CLARIFICATION!

***I realize that I need to clarify something--The person who is drawn gets to pick as many books from the list as they want!!!***


Let's just call this the "Cleaning Off The Bookshelves" Give-Away.

My shelves are ridiculously full, my husband is running out of dirty looks to give me, and let's just face it, I need more room for more new books. I have read most of these books and will link to my reviews. Some I have read but haven't reviewed, and some I just plain haven't read. I know how much fun I have had recently with winning a few books and I want to share the love--



The Rules:

1. One entry point: In your comment/entry, leave me your email address and the books you are interested in.

2. One extra entry point if you comment again linking to a post on your blog about this give away.

3. One more extra entry point if you are a follower of my blog and let me know in another comment.

I will be drawing the winner on Monday June 1st.
(sorry but due to shipping costs I can only mail to the U.S. and Canada)



The Titles:

The Memory Keeper's Daughter: Kim Edwards
Icy Sparks: Gwyn Hyman Rubio
World of Pies: Karen Stolz
The End of the Alphabet: CS Richardson

Elizabeth and Her German Garden: Elizabeth Von Arnim ( warning: I dog-eared this one a bit and marked few passages)

Before You Know Kindness: Chris Bohjalian
The Birth House: Ami McKay
Plainsong: Kent Haruf
Doreen: Barbara Noble
Kitchen: Banana Yoshimoto
The Wednesday Letters: Jason F. Wright
The Boy Next Door: Meggin Cabot
Chocolat: Joanne Harris

So come on, don't be shy and help out the good cause of lightening my shelves a bit!
