Thanks for your comments and favorite books. I loved reading all of them and have added some to my list of books to read. And many of them are some of my favorites as well. I love The Alchemist, Pride and Prejudice, and Harry Potter (specifically numbers 3 and 6). Oh, and yes, Matilda is also on my favorite book list, Jenny.
Okay, the book I'm giving away is...
A Separate Peace by John Knowles
If you haven't read this book, I would definitely recommend it. It is John Knowles' most popular book, but even still, I don't think it is terribly well-known. It is popular among my family members though. When my parents were dating my dad gave my mom a list of books she had to read in order for them to get married. This one was on that list. It is also one of my brother's favorites. And like I said before, Landon loves it as well.
As a man, the narrator visits his old prep school he attended as a teenage boy and tells the story of a terrible event that happened while he was there. The characters experience a wide range of emotions and feelings, which I think are depicted perfectly. That is all I'm going to say about it. I don't want to give too much information.
Okay, on to the winner...
The winner is Annie!
I will get your copy of A Separate Peace to you soon!

WOO HOO!! I have never won a giveaway before!!!! I read that book in High School (Dad's suggestion) and really liked it. I had forgotten about it.... and I am very excited to read it again!!!Thanks for hosting a giveaway!! :)
I just wanted to say that this sweepstakes was conducted honestly and ethically. I used my computer hacking skills to create a program that would select a winner at random. Much to my dismay, Annie's name was the one that came out.
Landon, I would like you to remember that I am your FAVORITE sister-in-law! I am sure you were actually doing the dance of joy when my name randomly came out!!!!!!
that's awesome that you are doing this! I love this idea. And what a great way to add to your list of books that you love and want to read?!
