Miki, just so you know, the author of the book you won, Dan, is a member of our group here. Congrats on your win. I'm sure he'd love to hear what you think of it after you're done reading it.


Thank you master 'book sale huntress' !!





Caroline - the type of books is always changing, so if you check in a few weeks there might not be any childrens books

BTW, the book I won is called "The Lovers" by Vendela Vida which is a new author for me! The cover says it's riveting, suspenseful with an unpredictable ending ....... we'll see. I'll post a review after I've read it.
Thanks for the review Miki! I really enjoy doing giveaways. I'm running another giveaway contest for "The Mine" right now. But I still haven't figured out how to post the image of the cover in a comment thread, i.e. if I'm reviewing another book. Can one of you tell me how?
Thanks!
dan

Dan, on the upper right of the comment box, is add book/author. A popup box opens up and you can type in the book/author. One tab for book, one for author. On the bottom of the book tab you can check the circle for two options, title which is the default, or you can click on "cover" which puts the cover in, like this below.

Thanks Briansgirl! This group always comes through!

*Bounces in doing the happy dance*
I received notice this morning that I (finally) won another book, Tempted by a Warrior by Amanda Scott. It's an historical romance originally published in 2010, with the paperback being released in July, which is what I won.
And now of course we wonder - since we are always specualting as to what helps one win FirstReads books - did my recent Johanna Lindsey reading spree aid in the winning of another historical romance?

:-) Heather, I suspect that it is entirely random. Unless of course, you read my book, "The Mine". Then, holy smokes, the sun comes out, the birds tweet, you win the lottery and every single giveaway you enter!
Or maybe not. :-)

I am totally doing the happy dance - I entered 2 giveaways and won one........now I am addicted and will be looking to enter more draws. Tempted by a Warrior

Thank you to whoever mentioned Read It Forward.
I won another book. This time from Read It Forward. I won All Over the Map by Laura Fraser.

Me too, Melodie. I won several when I first started entering and I always post a review but I haven't won any for a long, long time. I keep hoping.
Fingers crossed for you, Melodie and Denise. It was seven months between my two wins, so your turn has to be coming!





I was so excited to win a book! I haven't got into it yet, but it looks to be full of some good stories. I love to read or hear (like on NPR radio)stories or histories of everyday people and things.



Very cool! I haven't read any of her books. Maybe I'll put them on my list!

Daphne, The Kitchen House is a wonderful book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The only thing wrong with it--it ended too soon, I would have liked to have read more.
Well, not a lot of opportunities for Spanish girls ;), but I won The Silken Web and I received yesterday it with a good surprise: the package included Ricochet too (and a lot of bookmarks, I have to say ;) )
Congrats on the books (and bookmarks), Marisa.
I found out this evening that I have won another historical fiction, The Pindar Diamond by Katie Hickman. To those who have not won anything yet, keep entering! You never know when you might get lucky!

Congratulations, Donna! Let us know how the Tom Sawyer mashup is. Sounds interesting.
I just finished [book:The Kitchen House, which I won a few weeks ago. What a gift that book was. I absolutely loved it and was so wrapped up in the great characters and the story. It may be my favorite read of 2010.

I tried to win The Kitchen House, but didn't :( So, I just put it on reserve at my library and I am next. Can't wait to read it after seeing your review.

Kelley - I hope you enjoy it. It reads like a saga (think Gone with the Wind) but clocks in at a mere 365 pages. Those characters will be staying with me for a long time.




Actually the series is not in Boston it is in Chicago. I have read all her bookks and am a huge fun (and I live in chicago). I really wanted to win this book -- hopefully I still have a chance. :) I will buy it if I don't win it, as I have bought all of her other books, including the ones outside of this series.
I have won three books from GR First Reads and three from librarything.com's comparable program.
From GR:

I won another one that I strongly disliked, couldn't get past 15 pages, but since I got it free I don't want to trash it -- and I won't post the book.

From librarything:








Hope you like it as much as I did!
