WELL, HELLO THERE! OMG HERE WE GO THIS IS IT THE CRAZY IS UPON US NO WAY IT’S ANOTHER DECEMBER HOOTENANNY AND HOLY CRAP WE ARE UP TO OUR HAIR ROOTS IN BOOKS AND SWAG!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to Hootenanny 2016 right here with all the Women and Wordsters, all the authors, the merry elves and reindeer, and anybody else who decides to festivate with us. The eggnog is already flowing, we’ve got pizzas on order, piles of tinsel and whatever else the elves dragged out of storage (seriously–I don’t even want to go down there…), and the reindeer have already started their games.
We are offering a veritable grab bag every day. There’s no real rhyme or reason here, friends. We just got bunches of books and flung ’em into the funfest. So have a look, add to your lists, put on whatever kind of music, grab your eggnog/cider/wassail/whatever the hell and join in.

AND THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all the authors and publishers who donated books and swag to make this event such a fun, awesome time. We couldn’t do it without you, and we LUUUUUV you all for it!
So here we go!
We are giving away a f*ck-ton (that’s the official Women and Words unit of measurement) of books. We’ve also thrown in some super-cool swag, as you’ll see.
Here’s how this works, if you haven’t been here before.
- Each day is a new list of books n’ swag.
- To enter each day’s drawing, you need to leave a comment EVERY DAY. Don’t just assume you put your name down on day 1 and la la la I will be rolling in peppermint and eggnog forever I’m golden isn’t that awesome because…no. You have to enter every day. There’s just too much crazy back here for us, and it’s easier for us to keep track of each day — one day — at a time. Otherwise, our heads explode. And ick.
- Make sure you provide an email address in the comment fill-out form. DO NOT put your email address in the comment body. We’re trying to protect you from evil anti-holiday spambots.
- One entry per person per day, please. Let’s all share the luv.
- We hold the drawings at the close of each day and as soon as we have our list of winners, we notify AND we post the names of the winners next to the books they won in each blog. So if you see your name listed but you don’t have an email from us, CHECK YOUR SPAM FILTER. Every year, we end up with winners who don’t check the lists and don’t check their emails and then we have books that go unclaimed. So please help us ensure you get your loot. Check the lists and check your emails and your spam filters.
- We close each day’s drawing at 10 PM EST U.S. Here’s your world clock.
- We give the books and swag away in the order they appear on the page. So the first person drawn will receive the first book, the second the second, and so on. It’s too crazy around here for us to hold separate drawings for each book and all that.
- Again: Check the list of winners and your email if you’re on it. If you’re on the list and you haven’t received an email, check your spam filter. If all else fails, drop us a line here at the website on the Contact page.
- We put the author in touch with you, so books and/or swag offered by authors comes direct from the author. Women and Words will handle the other goodies.
- Postage–we’re sorry, but shipping out of the US is really expensive these days, including if you go slow boat to China rate. So if an author is offering paperbacks, we will specify where the author will ship. We really apologize for this and we wish it could be different. Maybe some day we’ll be able to beam books around the world via 3-D printer or something. But for now, this is how it has to be.
And authors, if your book is listed below, please refrain from entering the drawing because that would just be weird, to win your own book. You probably already have copies. 🙂
Okay. Sound good? Let’s DO SOME MERRIMENT!
[HINT: to the tune of “O Little Town of Bethlehem“]
O little bookfest up in here
How loud it always gets
Big stacks of books up to our knees
with reindeer as our pets
yet in the kitchen shineth
the coffeepot…it’s on!
and lots of books to give away
twelve days before they’re gone…
AND NOW! BEHOLD! DAY ONE OF THE CRAZY! Have fun and good luck!
(and by the way, if you click on each author’s name, you’ll go to their website.)
