The Literary Blog Hop!

IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME!  Who doesn't love that?

I thought this would be the perfect time for me to join Judith's Literary Blog Hop giveaway, because (as usual these days) I am on a quest to make room for some new books on my shelves here at home.  And the best way to do that is to part with some books that I've already read...even if it IS painful to see them go.

So, for this giveaway, I've got 3 gently used books to send to 1 lucky winner!  The books are:

We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates (one of my fave Oates novels!)
The Never List by Koethi Zan (ARC copy)
Help for the Haunted by John Searles (ARC copy)

US and Canada entries only please!  Enter in the Rafflecopter below...easy as pie.  (Actually, if you bake like I do, it's totally easier than pie.)

And check out the other blogs giving away goodies in this hop too!  Links at the bottom...

  1. I read WE WERE THE MULVANEYS and wasn't as impressed with it as most people were. It's been a long time, but I think all the family business bored me.

    I'm most interested in HELP FOR THE HAUNTED.

  11. I read Help for the Haunted, but it's another that I never wrote a review for and now it may very well be too late. I want to read The Never List, not sure about the Mulvaneys, so I'll leave it to fate!
