DAY 2 of the 12-Day Holiday Hootenanny, 2013

Hootenanny.Day2Did you totally have fun yesterday? Are you getting the hang of this whole thing? Are you wondering how things could even get nuttier and more festive? WONDER NO MORE! Because HERE, my friends, is DAY 2 of the crazy!

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
brought a giant load of books!
And if you only saw him,
you would give him funny looks

he’s not like the other reindeer
who only pull the fat guy’s sleigh
Rudolph prefers to hang out
and give tons of these books away!

Okay, friends, same rules apply as yesterday. To get into today’s drawing, leave a comment on this blog (one entry per person, please). Make sure you provide a valid email address in the comment fill-out form. Don’t worry, your email will not be made public. Do NOT put your email in the body of your comment. We’re trying to save you from the evil anti-holiday spam-bots. We close the drawing at 10 PM EST US (here’s a world clock link for those not in the US). We do the drawing right after we close it, and then we pass the winners’ contact info along to the authors, who will contact you directly. We also post the winners’ names on this blog. So give the author a little bit of lag time to contact you. If you win a publisher’s book, we here at Women and Words contact the winners to get information to submit to the publisher.

And, as always, if you’re an author listed today, please don’t participate in today’s drawing. That would be weird if you won your own book, right?

Ready? Here we go!

  17. This game is fun! Who is wearing the Rudolph nose? I think there should be pictures! (I know more work for the elves) I hope it’s ok that I continue to play, even though I won a book from Carsen Taite via her Liz McMullen interview. If I win any book in here, I intend to give that book to my friend Tammy. I’m introducing her to all you lovelies. Have a great Friday!

      Good luck!

  129. 12 days before Christmas Eve;
    I had to inquire;
    Rudolph with your nose so bright;
    won’t you draw my name tonight?

    Do silly rhymes improve your chances? Slipping in under the wire…:)
