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.
Shannon says
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!?!? :)
Kate B says
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!
Sonia says
I have heard so many good things about this book!
Marika says
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.
Bethany says
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!

brianne says
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!
Laura W. says
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.
Connietacazon says
This seems like an interesting read!
denise says
I just put this book on my wishlist!
michelle says
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…..
Jules says
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!

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!
Jules says
Hah! I don’t know if the publicist was rude. She probably gets a lot of emails and I’m small potatoes.
Erin says

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!

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!
Anita says
I would love that book. Thanks for the chance to win.

It sounds amazing!
Jennifer Baker says
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.
Jules says
Thanks, Jennifer!
Cecily says

Eating (or rather, choosing what to eat) is so much more difficult than it should be, I think. Maybe this book will help?
Paurvi says
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.
YJ says
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)
