Giveaway - Blackout by Elam & Yohn


Now that the Super Bowl is right around the corner, I thought I'd remind my readers of the book Blackout by Jason Elam (former kicker for the Atlanta Falcons) and Steve Yohn.  You can read my review by going to this previous post.

This was a fun read, and those who have read the other books in this series would definitely enjoy it. I'd like to share my copy with one of my readers, hopefully getting it to them well in advance of the Big Game. This edition is an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) from Tyndale House Publishers. It's a little worn from my carrying it around town with me, but certainly fine for reading.  Would you like to give it a new home?

Here are the contest rules:
  • Leave a comment below; this counts as your entry.
  • Entries accepted until 11:59pm on Saturday, January 23rd
  • Open to U.S. addresses only
  • Make sure your first posted comment includes your email address so that I can contact you on Sunday the 24th.  Should you win, you'll have 48 hours to respond before I pick another winner.
  • Entries will be compiled and winner chosen by Random.org, so even one entry can make you a winner!

Bonus Entries (Please make note of your bonus entries in your comment):

  • Follow the blog by clicking on the Google "Follow" button on my sidebar(old or new followers both get the bonus entry, just let me know you're following).
  • Follow me (@LHartness) on Twitter (Please tell me your @UserName).
  • Tweet about this giveaway on Twitter; be sure to use @LHartness and an URL to this contest in your tweet. You may do this as much as every 8 hours a day between now and January 23rd.  For each tweet, please come back and post the URL link to that specific one.  Here's an example:

Hopefully that's not too complicated!  Thanks for stopping by the blog, and good luck to the contest entrants!
