UPDATE: And the winner is... Jackie Nelson! Jackie, I'll be emailing you shortly to get your shipping info. For everyone else, thanks for playing and happy reading! * * * I'm now halfway through the second book in the Game of Thrones series and I'm pretty much driving Fletch crazy at this point with all my talk of Imps and smallfolk and kingslayers. When I called him for dinner by suggesting he join me in sharing meat and mead, he begged me to please, for the love of God, read something else. And I will. Eventually. So, if due to my George R.R. Martin suggestion, you're making your own bannermen family nutty, I offer you this small fix: I'm giving away this collection of fun beach reads today to one lucky winner to enjoy before the summer's over. I love each of these books so much - Beth Harbison's story is witty, soulful, and introspective (with bonus '80s nostalgia, so you know I'm all about that,) Celia Rivenbark is my liberal Southern soul sister, and Laurie Notaro not only invented/perfected the funny essay but continues to raise the bar. To enter, write the phrase "Winter is coming"in the comments section. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Entries will close at 5:00 PM CST and I'll pick a winner by random number generation. One entry per person/IP address and void where prohibited and all that jazz. Good luck! Now I've got to go see a man about a dragon...
