Okay, so you know how I had five Ballet Shoes DVDs to give away? I'm about to list the winners. But first, I must confess that I opened one of them so I could watch it, so someone will get an opened and once-watched DVD. But it'll still be near-pristine! And the movie is really cute--I have it on right now while I should be working. Anyway, winners! They are: Carol (who would be famous for writing an urban fantasy series), Kate (who would be a critically acclaimed YA author), Marie (who'd be famous for her writing), The Bookworm (who'd be famous for snapping a picture of Big Foot!) and Rylie (who'd be famous for something that helps a lot of people -- like finding the cure for AIDS or cancer, or solving the climate crisis). Ooh, hearing about your ambitions was great, and giving away five things was also fun. So maybe that's why I'm again going to do a multiple winner contest. I have another copy of Alexa Young's fantastic Frenemies to give away (see my original giveaway here), and I also have a signed copy of Rachel Maude's Poseur. Did you know Rachel and I are doing a reading together in Brooklyn next Tuesday? We are! Come if you're around. Info in the sidebar. Poseur is a really fun book with dozens of amazing subplots that make each character really come to life. Rachel's writing is fast and funny--a perfect combination. (Also, this cover pictured is the one I have, but I've seen a white cover in stores... weird?) Now, each winner of these two books will also win one of these two amazing fall clutches. Here's the shameful part: I cannot remember the designer who donated these clutches for Win-It Wednesday, and there is no label inside the bags! But they are so great looking (I'm a sucker for a kissing clasp) and they're lined with black silk. Such ideal holiday party bags. Please contact me, designer, if you read this, and I will shout your name all over this blog in thanks. I'm so sorry I can't remember where they're from. My boyfriend will tell you that I get tons of mail and it disorients me a little but I love it all. Forgive! So, two winners this week, and each winner will receive either Poseur or Frenemies + a clutch. Yay! To enter, post a comment below and tell me this: What's the last book you read? For me, I just finished The Geography of Girlhood by Kirsten Smith, and I adored it! I'd never really read a YA novel in verse before, and she captured such nuances of growing up that I was totally smitten. PS-Still time to win Violet in Private over at Kathleen's Book Reviews. Just a reminder!
