July's Giveaway Goodness!

Oh, don't sit there looking so surprised. You know the deal - a new guest Literary Chick means a new Guest LC giveaway! And this month, the lovely and talented Lauren Baratz-Logsted is giving away four signed copies of her very, very cool novel, A Little Change Of Face.

New!****HOW TO ENTER*****

So sorry; I forgot to tell you HOW to enter the contest. So I'm putting it in here. Send an e-mail to giveaway@literarychicks.comwith your name and e-mail address. Sorry for the confusion!

Okay. These are the rules. As you know, every month I beat my head against the wall trying to make the rules interesting for you people. Remember the origami martini glasses and the camel? Remember the cannon ball? Okay. Keep remembering those, because as of this moment, I have no idea what Random Method of Winner Selection we're gonna do this month.

Wish me luck. I'm going in.

One entry per person. Now, I know what with it being all in bold and everything, and the way it's... you know... first on the list of rules, it might not seem like we really mean only one entry per person, but we really do. So if you absolutely for whatever reason find you must send in multiple entries, go ahead.

We're just saying we'll like you better if you send just the one. That's all.

Relatives of any Literary Chick, guest or otherwise, are not eligible. I've never had anyone try to break this rule, so it's really pointless saying it again and again every month, but I have to because... you know. Everyone else does it.

And don't ask me about jumping off a bridge if everyone else did it. The answer is yes, I probably would. I'm weak and insecure that way. So sue me.

If you're under 18, get a parent's permission. Even if you're a very mature sixteen, we don't need your parents getting all freaked on us because you learned how to curse/drink/have sex/fall in love with your cad of a boss/develop an expensive shoe addiction reading one of our books. So, get permission or just wait until you're 18 to read the books. Trust us. It'll be worth it.

All entries received between today and Saturday, July 23rd* at midnight the sender's time will be eligible. Is that confusing? Okay. Let's say, it's Saturday, July 23rd at 11:59pm your time. SEND THE E-MAIL! NOW! IN A MINUTE IT'LL BE TOO LATE!

Clearer?

Method for choosing the winner:

Um... yeah. Okay. So. Sometime after midnight on July 23rd, I'm gonna take all the entries, weed out the duplicates and invalid entries, and put them all into an Excel sheet. Then I'm gonna ask my husband to choose four numbers randomly between 1 and whatever number of entries we get. Then he's gonna complain. Then I'm gonna tell him he has to do it or I'm gonna get annoyed, and he really doesn't want me to get annoyed. Then he'll rattle off four numbers like an automatic lotto machine and we'll select the four winners.

Or, you know, some method equally as random.**

Winners will be notified via e-mail within 7 days of announcement, but you know, we thought it'd be cool to be all, "Hey, Congratulations YOU!" on the site. It ain't fifteen minutes of fame, but it's all we got.

On a more serious, but still important note, none of your personal information will be saved after this contest is over. We won't be sharing it with anyone, we won't be using it for any purpose other than sending the winners their loot. Once this thing is over, we'll be like, "Who are you?" Seriously. But not in a mean, clique-y way.

Good luck!

*Yeah, it's short this month because I'll be in Reno getting drunk on the last Saturday of the month. Hope that doesn't ruin the mystique for you.

**Yes, for those of you wondering, that is actually how I do it every month. Hope that doesn't ruin the mystique for you.
