One More Week To Take A Chance At Winning "Fancy Party Gowns"

Next Friday I'll be selecting the winner of the Women's History Month giveaway of Fancy Party Gowns by Deborah Blumenthal with illustrations by Laura Freeman. To be considered, enter a comment at this post. (By "this post," I mean the post I link to in that last sentence, not "this post" that you're reading right now.) No, you won't see your comment immediately. I will need to approve it, because the post is old. But I most definitely will approve.

If you happen to have a website or blog and want to leave me a way to reach you there, that would be appreciated. Otherwise, check back at Original Content next weekend. I'll announce the winner, and if I can't contact you, you can then contact me.

More book giveaways coming up in April and May.

Picture Book Giveaways

Fancy Party Gowns Winner

Candace M. is the winner of the Fancy Party Gowns giveaway for Black History Month. I cannot reach you, Candace, so if you see this post, please contact me at gail@gailgauthier.com by this Saturday, March 4. If I don't hear from you, we'll pick another winner. Though, oddly enough, almost everyone who commented didn't leave a trail to a contact method. This could take some time.

Upcoming Book Giveaways

I have three more nonfiction picture book giveaways coming up.

March. I have another copy of Fancy Party Gowns by Deborah Blumenthal with illustrations by Laura Freeman, which I'll give away this month for Women's History Month. I'll do a women's history related blog post that interested parties can comment to for a chance to win. On the last day of the month, I'll pick a random winner.

April. In April I'll be giving away Stand Up and Sing! Pete Seeger, Folk Music, and the Path to Justice by Susanna Reich with illustrations by Adam Gustavson. Again, there will be a blog post about the book early in the month and you will have until the last day of April to comment.

May. Strange Fruit: Billie Holiday and the Power of a Protest Song by Gary Golio with illustrations by Charlotte Riley-Webb is up in May. You know the routine. There will be a post about the book that readers can comment on. On the last day of the month, the winner will be selected.

Since it looks as if some people have commenting set-ups that don't involve a link back to them, be sure to check back early the month after you enter, if you don't hear from me. You may have won.

One More Day To Comment For A Chance At "The Nian Monster"

The title of this post pretty much says it all. Head over to the Nian Monster giveaway post before 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time tomorrow and comment for a chance to win The Nian Monster by Andrea Wang. (And Alina Chau, illustrator.)
