"Somewhere a giraffe is crying? I don't get this, Jane!" It's a delurking contest.

January 9, 2007

I know, it is already the 9th and I haven’t yet done the first contest of 2007. So here it is! Win your very own copy of “Tears of the Giraffe” by Alexander McCall Smith. It is one in “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” series.

This time I’m doing something a little different. In the spirit of Delurking Week, you have 24 hours to leave a comment on this post, so that’s Wednesday at 9:53amPST. After that time I’ll put everyone’s name in a hat and draw out the winner. Contest is only open to those in USA, Canada, and military folks at APO/FPO.

Delurk and win a good book. Sweet!

I love your the random links to posts feature.
Plain Jane Mom January 9, 2007 at 10:03 am: Hey karrie! I’m doing it differently this time… I’ll take all the commenters on this post for the next 24 hours and put those names into a drawing for the book.

And I’m glad you like ‘better than a blogroll’ — it is fun for me to compile it!
