This giveaway is done and the winner is Edith; thanks for playing!
This time of year makes me want to get rid of stuff, and I’ve got three brand-new books to send to someone who’d like them. (I’ve flipped briefly through one and never cracked the other two, and I’m acknowledging now that I never will.) Leave a comment if you’re interested, and I’ll draw a name (assuming more than one person wants them!) for the recipient.
- The Wand in the Word: Conversations with Writers of Fantasy by Leonard S. Marcus
- The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Publishing Children’s Books (third edition) by Harold Underdown
- A 2010 CWIM (admittedly, getting dated, but it does include free online access and a lot of what’s in it will still be valid.)
It’s a package deal, but the winner is free to get rid of any of the 3 he or she doesn’t want! ![]()
— Joni, whose TBR pile on the floor is as large as her actual bookshelf

I’m interested.
Pick me! Er, I hope. Thanks Jodi!
Joni!! Yeesh…sorry about that.
I’m interested…please enter me & Happy New Year!
I recently finished writing my first sci-fi novel for young adults and I’m looking for an agent. Any suggestions, please contact me. In the meantime, I’ve really enjoyed reading this blog and I hope I win a book.

I’ll throw my name into the hat . . . or whatever you toss the names into.
A big thanks to all of you here at The Spectacle for a great year of posts. Though I may not always comment, I’m always reading. I’m looking forward to more in 2011. No pressure.
Please drop my name in the hat! Happy New Year!
What an awesome giveaway, I’m definitely interested! Thanks!

I just won the last giveaway of the year from Joni’s site, so I feel a little greedy but, hey, you can’t be too rich, too thin, or read too many bks., so
count me in. Happy New Year.

Uh, that was THIS giveaway, Edith! And sorry, emily, but the prize has already been awarded as noted on the 1/1/11 post! Thanks for your interest!
