Yet Another Giveaway

On Friday I received a carton of these from Lake Union (Amazon Publishing). I was so happy to have them and so eager to give a few away that I posted to Twitter and Facebook that the first three people to say "I want one" would get one. They were gone in about a minute.

That was fun while it lasted, but of course only served to make many more readers feel bad because they didn't see my post in time. So I promised I would do a slower givewaway here on my blog. I am now keeping that promise.

I have three more to give away. All I ask is that you PLEASE read the instructions below:

Simply leave a comment to be entered. Please DO leave your email address in the comment form. I promise I won't use it for any other purpose but to notify you if you win. Please DON'T leave your email address in the body of your comment unless you want everybody to see it. And remember the "author" in the comment form is the author of the comment, not the book. In other words, you. In each of these giveaways one or more people comment as "Catherine Ryan Hyde" because they see "author" and think it means me. Please use your own name, otherwise I can't enter you, because I have no idea who you are!

I'll leave this open until Friday. Comment away!

This giveaway closed on Friday (June 13th). The winners were Paul Fahey, Kari, and Shelly Gilliland. Sorry to those whose names did not come out of the hat, but if you stay close to this blog, you will always have more chances in more giveaways.

Hi Catherine!
I'm on my game this morning! :)

Looking forward to reading your new book - however it happens to come to me!

Hope you are having a grateful day.

Laura

[Catherine]

Thanks, Karen, LaVerne, and Mary-Elizabeth. If there's one thing I can say for my blog giveaways, it's that there's always another chance!

[Catherine]

Thanks, Carole and Laura. Nice to see so much interest in the new title!

[Kelli Howard]

Love your books!

[N. Gemini Sasson]

Fingers crossed. I'm a huge fan. Can't wait to read it!

[Catherine]

Thanks to both of you and consider yourself entered.

[Lee Lomas]

Love your posts and books. Congrats on your infinite success.

[Catherine]

Don't know if it's infinite, Lee, but I certainly hope you're right. One thing I can tell you is that the more I can afford to give books away to readers, the more I will.

[rose lamatt]

I have already bought it on Kindle, but would love a paperback to pass on to my neighbor who loves '365 days of Gratitude' which I 'will' not give her. :-) Look forward to reading more of your words.

[Catherine]

I think you are confusing this with another book, Rose, because this one doesn't go on sale until July 22nd, and cannot be purchased yet.

[Rosemary]

yep, me again - as always, hoping for a chance to acquire another of your Wonderful books! i've preordered this one already but Hey, if i have an opportunity to add doubles to my library, i'll certainly take that chance!! thanks, catherine!

[Catherine]

You are entered, Rosemary. If you really want to make an author happy you can use it as a loaner to those friends who might not have read me yet.

[MzMary]

Ooooh . . . I want one too!

[Pat Wieczorek]
