I have to tell you that I'm very excited about the books I've found for this Give Away. For those of you who don't know, I'm a BIG lover of books. I also think it's important to reuse books that are in good condition (these books are in great condition). Well, I've found some more and am giving all three of them away!!! What a great set to add to your library. Here they are and you can find more information about the individual books further below (table of contents).
So, if you're interested in winning these books, please leave a comment below. Yep, that simple. If you'd like to increase your chances to win, blog about it and leave a comment and link below. If you're a follower of this blog, I'll add your name again (to the drawing). Also, if you're a part of the 100 Books-a-Month Challenge, I'll add your name as well. One more way, if you link your 100 Books-a-Month post for July, I'll enter you once more. See, aren't those odds pretty good? :D
This Give Away will close on Saturday, July 31, 2010 at 10 pm. I will announce the winner on Sunday, August 1st. Good luck to each of you! Please spread the word! :D
