The clock is winding down, but there is still time for you to win your very own 2010 Book Lovers calendar by reminding us of your favorite author and their birthday!
Read more about the contest and share your favorite author’s birthday here. So go ahead – post a comment, help us remember all those fabulous authors who wrote the books that make us smile and take a chance at winning a 2010 Book Lover’s calendar!
Wow, we asked and you responded with stories of some positively awful gifts! Thanks so much to everyone who commented; as a result, we’ll be donating 50 new books to children in need (one for every comment plus a few extra!).
Congratulations to A.C. Parker, the winner of our random drawing, who will receive her choice of an autographed copy of one of these great books: Linda Sue Park’s Keeping Score, James Patterson’s The Final Warning or Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events: Book the Thirteenth (just a small consolation prize to help make up for the “Beatles Edition” Monopoly game).
Thanks again to everyone who participated! And don’t forget to check out Books for Keeps for Birthdays at www.firstbook.org/birthdays.
