Fall, Y'all Giveaway!

Wow; I never imagined that I would get this many comments. Due to a variety of reasons, an executive decision has been made, and this giveaway is now closed as of 8AM PST on Wednesday. Thanks for playing!

It's my first giveaway EVER as a blogger! Shannon, over at Rocks in my Dryer, is hosting the "Fall, Y'all Giveaway" -- the fall version of one of the biggest "carnival" giveaways out there in the blogosphere. (Right, I know. I just used the word "blogosphere." Sorry.)

So what am I giving away? I recently came across an extra copy of the book The Call by Os Guinness. As I am just now starting to get into the book, I can personally say that it's a good one. If you want to check it out, you can find it on Amazon here.

How do you win? To be entered, please leave a comment on this post and include the name of the book you read during high school that was your favorite. I'll close the comments on ... just closed, sorry!, and I'll pick a random number/name out of a hat on Saturday. Please make sure that your email address is accessible in your comment (as in, if you're not a blogger, please leave "joebobsmith [at] gmail [dot] com" in your comment as well). Offer is open to US residents only, and I'll pay postage! Oh, and I'll throw in a copy of one of my favorite mix CD's, so you can also include the name of your current favorite song if you'd like.

So, come out, come out.... and comment! I know everyone likes free stuff.

(Oh, and if you're interested in entering other giveaways for other cool free stuff, check out the Fall, Y'all Giveaway link above!)

My favorite book of all time is "To Kill a Mockingbird". It was an assigned book to read in freshman year, but I read it in 4th grade. LOL. My Mom was a librarian, so my reading levels were always higher than the other kids due to reading so much!

Hope to win. This book looks great!

Check out my giveaway, too.

Hmmm, I've never read an Os Guinness book, but I've heard he is a great author!

High School was SO long ago, I'm not sure I can remember. I was really into Ann Kiemel and Corrie Ten Boom then. And I wasn't interested in the great classics like I should have been.

I read the Clan of the Cave Bear Series, some Jane Austin, and who knows what else. This sounds like a great book though, something I need to read.

Never heard of this book, but sounds good :) I LOVE reading, especialy fantasy/sci-fi stuff like Anne McCaffrey's work and Ender's Game.

My favorite book in high school was The Iliad. Geeky, I know, but I loved all the adventure!

Wow - free stuff really brings anonymous blog-readers out of the woodwork! I love this idea and I also want to say "fall ya'll" as many times as I can over the coming weeks.

Well, I didn't read about 85-90% of most of the stuff we were supposed to in high school - yup - definitely regret that one but I did enjoy Great Gatsby and Jane Eyre.

Current favorite song - yikes. I can't make commitments like that.

I think I want the mix CD more than the book. Pick me!

I think I remember liking A Tale of Two Cities. Oh, and I don't think I actually liked whatever Shakespeare play it was, but I remember having a lot of fun making that video in my house where we turned a scene into a Star Wars theme! Any chance you still have that video?

Favorite song...no idea. But I really love mix cd's!

Wow ... my favorite book from high school ... well, truth be told, I didn't enjoy much of what we read back then! So the most memorable read - The Metamorphosis by Kafka because that book has stuck with me LOL!
Favorite song - oh, I have about a million of those! =)
Thanks for hosting this!

Please enter me. I love books. My favorite book I read in high school was The Count of Monte Cristo. I loved that book. The one I hated in high school was The Good Earth, but I've read it again recently and I actually loved it. Those are my two favorites from high school, even though one didn't become my favorite until recently.
