July: The Giveaway Month
Thursday, July 3, 2014 at 4:20PM 
As some of you may know, I was just away on vacation. While I was gone, quite a few fun things turned up on my doorstep.
First of all, I got my author copies of the brand new Take Me With You, due out from Lake Union/Amazon Publishing on July 22nd. In the box were both MP3 and CD audiobooks. Five of each. And as you know if you follow this blog, I archive two of each. Send me five and I give three away.
I also got advance readers' copies of the new Young Readers' Edition of Pay It Forward, due out August 19th. So that will be the next giveaway.
And of course I have to give away another 365 Days of Gratitude photo "coffee table" book in July.
I thought about doing it all at once, but it made me tired to think about it. Too many ways that could get complicated. So I'm going to start with these six audiobooks.
As always, I ask only that you read the following to know how to enter:
All you need to do is 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!
***One very important addition: If you're reading this blog on Goodreads, please click through to the original post on my website and leave your comment there. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll forget the Goodreads people one of these times when I go to draw names***
And if you have a preference between CD and MP3, please state it clearly in your comment.
I'll run this giveaway for about a week and then move on to the next. Good luck!
Catherine

Hope I'm not too late to enter. Would love a CD to listen to in the car when I return to teaching in a couple of weeks. Thanks
You're not too late, Theresa. I'm leaving it open until 5:00.
I have a kindle just got a recommendation to read your book. I LIKE what I have read cannot wait to order this and want to get your blog always.Thank you for sharing. Hugs. Christy
Thanks, Christy. It's available to order anytime, and I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Just finished "Take Me With You" (kindle) and decided to look up your website to tell you I know of no other author who describes love as beautifully as you do in your books. So touching that I always weep at the tenderness, so subtly conveyed. And yet the stories are realistic, the characters people I would love to know if they stepped out of the pages and materialized. I wish I could afford to give various of your books as gifts because they also hold out hope that the reader will encounter people like these or be able to act in these ways.
Hi Gloria! Welcome! I'm happy to have you as a new reader, and I got your email, which I hope to answer today. I love it when readers go beyond the books to find me, so thank you.
