Here are the two book blurbs I promised you. Hope you have entered a post about any book you gave to others in December. If so, yours will be among the names in our drawing on Thursday for one of these two books. Good luck!

BETWEEN SUNDAYS by Karen Kingsbury

A jacket blurb: “Megan Gunn works two jobs and spends her spare time helping at a youth center. Much of what she does, she does for the one boy for whom she is everything — a foster child whose dying mother left in him Megan’s care. Mow Megan wants to adopt him, but one obstacle stands in the way. Her foster son, Cory, is convinced that the 49ers quarterback Aaron Hill is his father.”

DARK ASSASSIN by Anne Perry

This mystery set in Victorian England follows William Monk and his intrepid wife Hester as they attempt to solve the riddles behind three mysterious deaths. Their invetigations take them from the luxurious drawing rooms of London’s power brokers to the undergournd warrens of London’s poor and starving. “With gripping courtroom scenes, breathless horror beneath the earth, and a plot that twists and turns toward a stunning denouement, DARK ASSASSIN is absolutely one of Anne Perry’s best.”

(FYI: These books have already been given away.  If you would like to enter the monthly drawing for a free book(s), please read the most recent Free Books! Post.)

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE getting books. I have a whole corner of my office stacked with Books-I-Can’t-Wait-To-Read, which are, of course, the very best kind!

So just as I promised, I’m going to share the joy by giving away two hardcover novels by two great authors. If this book give-away is successful (In other words, if I receive replies to this Post…) We’ll try to do this every month. No contests, just a set of weird or silly or fun qualificaitons. This month’s qualifications? You are eligible if you gave someone a book in the month of December – any kind of book for any reason, in December, 2009. Just post a reply to me on my Blog and include the title of the book(s) you gave.

On Thursday evening, I will place the names of the “postees” in a bowl and draw out two. The first drawn will receive his or her choice of one of the two novels below. The second will receive the remaining book. I will mail you your book via USPS book rate mail. Yes, you’re eligible if you live somewhere else than the USA.

This month’s books are (drumroll….) BETWEEN SUNDAYS, a love story by Karen Kingsbury, and DARK ASSASSIN, a mystery by Anne Perry. I’ll post Blurbs about each of them tomorrow and publish your posts as they come in.

This month’s Book Give-Away is in honor of my brother John, whose birthday is in January.

Good luck!
