Remember when I made this the book pick for April and contacted the publisher (actually, the publisher’s publicist) and asked them for copies of the book to give away for book club members? Well, guess what?
They completely ignored me. Didn’t even get a reply email.
Guess what else? Susan G. bought an extra copy of the book and wants to give it away here. I bought an extra copy of the book and want to give it away here. That’s two copies to give away for those of you who would like to read what I hear is an amazing book. A quick reminder, we’ll be discussing this book on Monday, April 30.
There are no rules to win.* Just leave a comment! I’ll announce the winner before the end of the week.
*I shouldn’t have said that. We can only do US shipping so that’s a rule–US residents only. Oh, and minors can’t win so that’s another rule. Two rules. Ugh.
Funny, I just texted my husband a picture of the book with a note that I’d love it for my birthday. Maybe if I win it here I’ll get diamonds instead . . . a girl can dream, huh!?!? :)
My sister is very excited about this book! I hadn’t planned on reading it because my library doesn’t have it for download, but I’d love a chance to win!
I have heard so many good things about this book!
I’ve been wanting to read this book for awhile! So excited! (even with the lame publisher). Also, a belated comment about the book theif – when the book was published in Australia, it was published as a regular book (as opposed to YA). Only in the US was it classified as a YA book.
With a title like that, how could I not enter!! Plus I definitely need a little more grace in the kitchen!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
The book sounds quite interesting!
This book sounds right up my alley.
I’d love to read this book. Thanks for the chance.
Oh, please choose me. What a lovely cover for the book!

Gorgeous book….would love to read it!
Looks quite interesting!
I’d love to win this book!
Looks like an interesting book! :)
How cool are you and Susan?! (Much cooler than the publicists/publishers, for sure.) I got it from the library but would love a copy of my own!
This has been high on my list since you first mentioned it. How generous of you to hang out an extra copy!
Rude (as in no response from the publisher)–yet to you and Susan, thank you for being so lovely!
I just discovered your blog and love the idea of an online book club. Since I’ve already read my in-person book club’s selection for April (Stalking Susan), I am confident I can read this one too should I win.
This seems like an interesting read!
I just put this book on my wishlist!
no rules to win! sounds like a cool slogan. I am still reading rules of civility, but I just started it a few days ago, I like it so far…..
I shouldn’t have said that! I forgot that we can only do US shipping, and I think the law states winners can’t be minors. Urgh. I’ll amend the post. Thanks!
Ooohhh…I’d love to win!
looking forward, as always to wonderful discussions here – would be fun to win a copy too! Thanks!
Love the addition of non-fiction! Pick me.
I’d love to read this book!
Would love to read this!
Ooooohhhh!!!! Pick me! Pick me! I have read some of the sample chapters online and want to get my hands on this book since you mentioned it before! She’s a beautiful writer.
I’d love to read this; I think it’d really help me out.
I’ll read, even if it’s not free:)
ooo! i wanna read it! :) thanks for a great giveaway
Oh I would LOVE to win this! As an avid book lover, cookbook lover, cooking lover — I think I would just adore this book. And I’d love to cook with economy AND grace!
Only two rules? Those are fine rules! At least they are for me, since I’m an adult living in the US.
Hah!!! :D

Oh I would love this book!

Well, this book went on my “To Read” list after I saw you picked it. Looks interesting, and I’m all over free (you ladies are so kind – poo poo on the publishing party poopers). Please consider this my over-18, U.S. based entry. Nice rules. Rules are good. They appeal to my safety side. ;-)
I’ve been meaning to read this lovely book. Thanks for the generous giveaway!
Would love to win a copy!
I would love to win this book! I even mentioned so on my blog a few weeks ago http://timandlaurenmyers.blogspot.com/2012/03/everlasting-meal.html
I would love to win this book!
Thanks so much for hosting a giveaway in spite of rude people!
Boo to publicist. Yay to you and Susan!
PS- I had a fabulous conversation with old family friends over Easter weekend because of you and your book recommendations. It was a couple of hours of books, cocktails and friends. Wish you could’ve been there! ;)
Thank you! xoxo
PS- I’m reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Being a mom, I have cried and cried. So good!
would love to win a copy of this book! i have heard wonderful things about it so far!
Would loooooove to receive this book!
How Ru…de of the publicist. I would love to win this book. Sounds like it will have helpful ideas for the kitchen, I can always use more of those. Pick Me, Pick Me!! Also, I really thought I was going to win the Mega Millions and I didn’t :( this book would help soften that blow. Also, Pick Me!
Hah! I don’t know if the publicist was rude. She probably gets a lot of emails and I’m small potatoes.
I hadn’t heard of this book until your blog but I love to be in the kitchen and this book sounds like it has some great philosophies.
Your generosity is touching, thank you. We just planted our first garden, here’s to cooking with economy and grace!!
I would love to read this! Thanks for buying extra copies to share.
Oh I would just love to win. Thanks for the chance Julie! I love your blog so much esp about decluttering and organizing. Keep up the good work. Aloha!
Oh, how lovely! This is one that’s been on my wish list ever since I first heard you mention it :)
Thank you! <3
Having recently gone gluten-free–which has meant confronting a plethora of food-related issues, the most urgent of which is likely what a sucky cook I am–I would love this book. I promise not to use it as an excuse to procrastinate on learning how to cook!
Anything to improve quality of eating and time spent in the kitchen has to be a worthy read. Great choice.
Very exciting! I have wanted to read all the PIBC books yet and haven’t gotten on the ball. :)
Any book with a foreword by Alice Waters is fine by me – I would love to receive a copy!
I’m interested in this book. I’m a resident and I’m not a minor! Woo Hoo! :)
Yum! That’s what I need right now – cooking with economy and grace!
This is a great book choice! I’m excited to get started reading it.
i have been swooning over this book for months… j :)
I would love to read this! I was just watching some of the promotional videos they did for the book a few days ago and was trying to decided whether I should get the book.
This book sounds so interesting. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve been intrigued by this book since you posted about it a couple of weeks ago, so I’ll try my hand at winning a copy. Thanks, Jules (and Susan)! :)
I would love to read this book! Thanks for the chance to win.
I’ve been thinking about getting this book ever since you wrote about it.
Thanks for offering a giveaway – I would love to win!
Sounds like a very interseting read and the cover is luscious. Thanks for the opportunity.
There’s not much I love more than books and food – except books about food!
This book is on my To Read list!
Would love to win this one and read it with you! I’ve been slowly working my way through other books you’ve recommended along the eating and food lines!
I’m on the library waiting list but would love my own copy. This books sounds like a keeper!
Would love a copy.
Great contest. I would love to win it and read it. And hope I can by the April 30th discussion.
i was so charmed by her video…
so totally taken by her kitchen that i pinned her backsplash & can’t get those glass double doors off my mind.
hoping the book is equally captivating…
The book sounds amazing! Please count me in!
And thanks for sharing! :)
I would love to win a copy of this book – I’ve checked out the author’s website and it sounds wonderful.
What a great giveaway!
I would love this book as if I don’t win, I think I may need to go out and buy it. With my husband’s stroke and inability to cook for us anymore, I’ve had to learn the cooking. And it’s scary. I don’t like it and I suck. I’m always looking for ways to succeed!
I would love that book. Thanks for the chance to win.
thank you for the chance to win !!!
Her promo video alone makes me want this book – surely I’d have a whole fridge full of veggies in mason jars if only I had this book.
Would love to win! This book sounds very intriguing, since we’ve been trying to eat healthier and cook at home more. And my library doesn’t have a copy. Thanks to Susan and Jules for being so generous!
Thanks for the giveaway! I’d love to read this book.
YUM! can’t wait to read it!
I love the cover!
Oh I would love a copy – it is my birthday month – so perhaps that gives me an extra sprinkle of luck!
Oh, Alice Waters… I swear, once I first learned of who she was, I see her name EVERYWHERE now. Except on my bookshelf, which would be lovely :)
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
What a great giveaway. I have heard great things about this book.
I just took a little side trip into the life of Tamar Adler, and I’m intrigued. I would love to win a copy of this book and hear her perspective of the culinary world.
It sounds amazing!
I would love a copy of that book. I have seen the videos and wish I could cook like that and be present in every moment as she seems to be. Working on that through the whole food workshop.
Thank you for the last post about eating. It really hit home.
Blessings.
Thanks, Jennifer!
ooh, I would really like to read this book! My book club has kind of fallen apart, so I’ve been itching for a good read lately.
Not on topic of the book but you and your successful decluttering were mentioned on apartment therapy :)
I saw that! :)
Sounds like an interesting book. Thanks, Jules!
I love that I keep hearing about this book! And yes, would love to have a copy too.
I would love a copy of this book because the cover is making me hungry. Also, my favorite cookbook is The Art of Simple Food, and if Alice Waters likes this book, well, I’d like to read it.
I would love to read this book!! Thanks for taking it upon yourselves to provide us a chance to win a copy. :) :)
Sounds like a great book.
Crap, you have a lot of readers. I don’t like my odds of being chosen, but I’ll throw my hat into the ring. (Bob says saying is of cowboy origin, I’m not so sure.)
awesome!!! because the list at the library is LOOONNNGGG… Thanks!
This book is on my summer reading list because the list at the library is suuupppperrr long, so you could seriously make my Spring by picking me!! Also, there are alot of Jen’s that read your blog!
Tell me about it. Children of the 70s unite! There are also lots of Jeannes and Andreas. At least two of each.
Oh ~ ya’ll are so nice! I would love to win ~ pick me, pick me!! :-)
Eating (or rather, choosing what to eat) is so much more difficult than it should be, I think. Maybe this book will help?
I would love to win this book. I have been a long time fan of Alice Waters, Chez Panisse and look to cook. I also enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for hosting a give-away.
um, I didn’t win the mega a couple of weeks ago, but maybe I’ll win the book? either way, I definitely plan on reading it. :)
I also just started the “health at every size” book, and LOVE IT, so thank you for that post. (the kindle edition is also currently under $3, FYI, which, IMHO, is the right price for a digital book). (to sum it up: (1) Dieting is BAD for your health, weight, etc; (2) eat real food, mostly plants)
Looks like a great read.
Yay! Thank you for your generosity!
I am not a minor and I live in the US!!!!
US resident, not a minor. Check and check. Great giveaway!
Looks like a great read, even if this doesn’t happen, I’m probably going to download it for the Kindle. <3 Thanks for this contest!
Pick me, pretty please!!!
Looks like a good book–I hope I win!
After intense Passover cooking for several hundred very welcome guests, a good food read would be perfect!
I’ve been dying to read this!
I would be delighted to win. Thanks for the chance.
Exciting! Read about the book on Amazon after you mentioned it and it sounds really neat.
This one has been on my wishlist!
I would love to win this book! It sounds very interesting.
This has been sitting on my Amazon “cookbooks I want to read” list so I’d love a copy!
What an exciting give away! I would love to win this book.
Thanks Jules for thinking of us when the publisher’s publicist did not.
