Recommend a Few, Win a Few:
So the summerwide hype of my book is drawing to a close but my publisher has kindly agreed to sponsor this contest, which gives you, the loyal or passing reader the chance to win a whole pile of really good books. Here’s how it works.
Visit this site. Recommend your favorite books, the books that changed your life, to friends and loved ones. Doesn’t have to be my book. Probably better if it’s not.
Once you’ve made your recommendations, as many as you like, your name will be entered in a drawing to win this list of 15 books, as recommended by the contributors to Bookmark Now. No names are kept or sold or placed on a spambelt by anyone.
