Copy Cat: Book Giveaway

My "Hello Kitty" jack o'lantern that you can see in an earlier post died. It got one good night all lit up, and then the mold descended. and bugs. It was gross. Then the pumpkin collapsed in on itself; tragedy. All those years carving pumpkins in Utah and I never had this problem--then I moved to the Pacific Northwest. *sigh*

Remember how I hadn't seen any really good, really scary movies this year? Well, I watched The Haunting, and it was freaking terrifying. After watching it by myself after Heidi went to bed, I read a blurb that said "Do not watch this one alone!" So that was helpful; actually it was good that I didn't read it beforehand since it contained spoilers. I can safely say it's the scariest film I've ever seen, and it's a good film in its own right. If you're looking for something to watch this Halloween, there's a suggestion.

For Halloween, I decided to go as a fairy. It seemed a fairly obvious choice. So I went to Display and Costume and ended up buying butterfly wings and a butterfly mask. (At one point there was also a pink tutu.) So I guess I'm going as a butterfly--maybe Heimlich. But it's kinda like a fairy--maybe I'll get some colored hair spray and body glitter.

Anyway, here's the real draw of this post--following in the footsteps of MaryPosa and Neil Gaiman--I'm giving away a book because that's the kind of world I want to live in. Also, what's a better use of the student loans I will spend the rest of my life repaying? So here's how you enter--do one or more of the following:

1. Leave me a comment.
2. Follow this blog.
3. Tell someone else about this post--share the love!
4. Post your reading list on your blog or Facebook (or somewhere) with a picture of you peeking over a book--comme ci--and send me the link.

So you can be entered up to four times. I'll randomly select a winner (or two) in a week--Friday, November 5th--and send you a book!
