Upcoming Book Reviews & Another Giveaway (yes, again!)
I’ve been READING! Can you imagine that?
Here are some book reviews that you can expect on the Maw Books Blog shortly:
Not On Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond by Don Cheadle and John Prendergast
The Bright Side of Disaster by Katherine Center and an author interview!
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo
The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway
Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos
Monique and the Mango Rains by Kris Holloway
The 5 Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me by Richard Paul Evans
Admit One by Emmett James
Shattered Dreams: My Life as a Polygamists Wife by Irene Spencer
. . . as well as a few middle grade fiction books I’ll sneak in for quick reads!
In the meantime, I thought, heck I’m on a giveaway roll, why not another one while you wait for those book reviews?! Because who doesn’t like free books?
How about Angela Ashes and ‘Tis by Frank McCourt. I have two sets. Let me know if you’d prefer hardcover or paperback; first name out gets their choice and second name gets the other. Two winners get both books! I’ve been holding on to these ones thinking that I would get them reread this year so I could review them and then subsequently so I could give them away. But I don’t think I have time for rereads this year So you get them now. I read them both years back and remember liking them. Although, I have to be completly honest with myself, did I really read ‘Tis? You know you read too much if you can’t remember.
We’re making this one easy again: simply enter by Monday, July 21st and I’ll draw two names on Tuesday, July 22nd. And my wallet tells me that again, only open to U.S. residents.
Good luck!
Must read Angela Ashes! What’s wrong with me?

I actually prefer paperback, but free books, oh my. NOT GONNA BE PICKY!!!
on July 11th, 2008 at 9:57 amI’m on an unlucky streak lately, but I suppose it doesn’t hurt to try. I’d like to be entered for both books. I’ve wanted to read Angela’s Ashes for a while and I’ve seen ‘Tis on other websites. I’d prefer hardcover….but I’d be happy with paperback too.
Thanks again Natasha.
By the way I’m looking forward to your reviews on the Bright Side of Disaster, Half of a Yellow Sun, Tiger Rising, and Love Walked In…all of which are on my ‘to read eventually’ list. A list that keeps getting longer and longer.

How do you keep straight all of the books you read? Do you keep journals or is it just through your blog?

on July 11th, 2008 at 6:50 pmI have Tis on one of my challenge lists and honestly don’t think I’m all that excited to read it… I kind of struggled through Angela’s Ashes for 10 years!!
When I got back from my trip I was really surprised not to see any reviews from you, but WOW that is a lot of books. Look forward to your Half of a Yellow Sun thoughts–I’ve been meaning to squeeze that one in for a while.

on July 12th, 2008 at 3:41 pmI read Angela’s Ashes a long time ago and really liked it but from what I’ve heard, Frank McCourt’s book sounds even better! Personally I prefer paperback but it really doesn’t matter.
on July 12th, 2008 at 4:38 pmplease enter me. thanks
on July 13th, 2008 at 6:59 amBoth of these sound interesting! I prefer hardback because the print is usually larger-my poor old eyes aren’t what they used to be.

on July 13th, 2008 at 12:20 pmOh my gosh! I have been wanting to read these books for so, so long! I hope I win! I’m not really preferential toward hardback or paperback. I’ll take whichever is left!
