Two Brothers: One North, One South
Ahh, this cool-sounding book is heating up. Possibly because us here in the North are cold and the South ought to be heating up ... or so we snow bunnies want to believe.
The truth is that Two Brothers is a Civil War story. Aha, you think. That title now makes sense!
Shana at Literarily has her gently-used hardcover to share with you. Now, now. That doesn't mean she didn't like the book. It just means that there is only so much shelf space in a house, and only so many books you can put on those shelves. And every other available surface... Sometimes, books can't stay. This is one of those sometimes.
So get on over to Literarily and enter yourself for a chance to find out what the fuss is about. You know you're curious!
Use this link before November 28.

Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe
Weird. Shana at Literarily usually e-mails me about her contests, but this one missed us somehow. Come back, Shana! We love your e-mails!
Thankfully, I have Shana in my reader, so I can tell you guys about this.
Author Jennie Shortridge has stopped in at Literarily to guest blog about the power of women who read. I like Ms. Shortridge already. And that was BEFORE I read her most excellent post, which talks about a philosophy I've been bringing to my own book club for years now.
Shana's provided us a TON of links before getting to the giveaway. There's no reason you can't know a lot about Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe before entering the contest (or buying your own copy).
The contest is open until 21 November, and Ms. Shortridge has offered a signed copy of her latest novel. There are no mailing restrictions indicated, but you might want to indicate when you leave your e-mail address if you're not in the US or Canada. Just to be nice. Just like Shana is.

Off Season
Our cool friend Shana over at Literarily has a neat contest going. It's for Off Season, the new novel by well-regarded writer Anne Rivers Siddons.
Check out Shana's review; she identifies a few reasons why it's not for everyone. But then again, why not stretch your boundaries? Especially since it sounds like Shana would really like to discuss this book with someone.
Use this link by November 21.

A Jolly Good Fellow
Shana at Literarily is hopping lately, too. I really admire you book bloggers; you guys have lots of things going on and you don't drown in it all. And then there's me...
Anyway, Shana's fun today is a copy of the book A Jolly Good Fellow, written by Stephen V. Masse. It was actually published WAY back in 2007 (does your memory stretch that far back?), but sort of like the Internet, it doesn't matter when something appears. A good read is a good read. Besides, this one has a nice holiday theme to it without, as Shana says, resorting to the usual holiday cliches.
Read all about it and enter via this link.

Broad Street
No, this is NOT a book about Philadelphia's famed Broad Street Bullies. (Yes, Susan's got hockey on her mind. The puck drops soon!)
I'm not going to tell you what the book IS about, though, except to say it's right up my alley. Thus, if you want to know more about Broad Street, written by Christine Weiser, you'll have to go visit Shana at Literarily. And you want to do that 'cause Shana's nice. She does great interviews. And she's got a lovely picture up there that you don't want your husbands to see...
(Who me? Feeling insecure? Nah...)
Get over there before Friday, October 3 if you want a chance to win your very own copy.
