Joshua Henkin book giveaway for matrimony


I assigned all those who entered the Matrimony giveaway a number and ran it through the randomizer and Random.org to ensure the complete and total randomness of the drawing, and so the personally autographed copy of Joshua Henkin’s novel Matrimony will be sent by the author himself to…

Unbearable Banishment!

If you could email me your mailing address, I will get that to Josh right away.

An unexpected side effect of this giveaway included another author contacting me about a giveaway! More details on this will be available after the New Year, but isn’t that exciting? I am liking this giving away of books, so much that I think I will give away some of the ARC’s I am collecting. I have three book reviews coming up in January and will have copies plus two more for February. If you like free books, do be on the look-out for opportunities in the next couple months.


I interrupt the regular Monday Meme to give my dear readers a chance to win a belated Christmas prezzie.

Next month I will be reviewing the novel, Matrimony by Joshua Henkin. He contacted me a couple of weeks ago wondering if I would be interested in giving away an autographed copy of his book to one of my readers. Since I have never given any of you anything (except fits perhaps), I wondered how you would react, my dear readers. But I know that for myself, anytime someone offers me a free book, I am snoopy-dance happy. Books are a way awesome thing to find in your mailbox.

So, the novel is about a marriage as it evolves over time and the reviews I’ve read are quite good.  It was a New York Times Notable so I am looking forward to reading it myself.

The contest* is a random drawing and all you have to do to enter is leave a comment and share your ideas of what marriage means -from personal experience or just wishful thinking. The deadline for entering is midnight (MST) this Friday, December 26th. The winner will be announced on Monday, December 29th. And there are no geographical restrictions. Josh will send this book to the winner wherever they may be.

*I am not kidding people. I really have a book to give away. Enter and possibly win.
