Simply Stacie and I Am A Reader, Not A Writer are hosting the Freedom Giveaway Hop in honor of Independence Day in the United States, and I've decided to participate.
To stick with the theme of Independence Day:
I'm giving away a book of your choice that is written by an author from the United States.
It can be any genre as long as the author is from the United States. You choose the book (up to $15), and I'll order it and have it mailed to you from the vendor of my choice.
To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment below telling me your favorite U.S. author (this doesn't have to be the author of the book you choose if you're the winner). Include your email address so I can contact you if you win.
For extra entries:
- Leave a separate comment if you follow My Book Retreat through Google Friend Connect.
- Leave a separate comment if you follow @MyBookRetreat on Twitter.
- Leave a separate comment if you Like My Book Retreat on Facebook.
Happy 4th of July! I hope you have a safe and fun holiday!
Now check out all of the other giveaways you can enter at the links below!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite American author(s) are: Jodi Picoult & Stephen King. While Jodi Picoult appeals to the heart and emotions of the reader, Stephen King knows how to deliver the thrills and chills of his genre. In terms of classics, my favorite authors are Louisa May Alcott and John Steinbeck. One painted the picture of a happy family, and the other painted the picture of the disintegrating American life.
