*The other day I posted my favorite books from 2013 from several categories.

*One of my favorite things to do is to share book titles with friends, students, family members, Twitter pals, and via this blog.

*I've only done one book give-away via the blog and I thought what a better way to end 2013, than with another book give-away.

  1. If I could win one of these books it would be True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp because I am a big fan of Kathi Appelt. I am also in the process of reviewing books for the Keystone State Book Awards and this book might be a possibility. Thanks for the give away!

  5. My favorite book memories from 2013 involved author connections. I got to Skype with Kate Messner, exchange snail mail with Debbie Ohi, and have John Thompson visit my fifth grade class! I'd love to win True Blue Scouts because that book ended up on so many lists and I haven't read it yet :)

  7. I just love reading books. Reading is a technique to approach someone else's creativity after a day that is all too real. Had a great reading adventure in 2013. Favorite book of 2013 was "The Examined Life". If my name is drawn, I would like ANY title. If I could win one of these books - I would be lucky to be the winner. Expecting more reading in 2014 .
