"On Gratitude" Giveaway

Tis the season indeed!
Todd Jensen and TNBBC are partnering up to offer what just might be
the BEST giveaway of the year!



We have 5 copies of On Gratitude to share 5 very lucky winners.

Here's a description of the book (from Goodreads):
"What Are You Most Grateful For? Ricky Gervais says . . . Pajamas. Dolly Parton says . . . Humble Roots. Anne Rice says . . . Clackety-Clack.

In this enlightening and engaging collection, celebrities from Seth Rogen and Sheryl Crowe to Joyce Carol Oates and B.B. King share the people, places, and things for which they are most grateful. Alternately sentimental and surprising, wise and wacky, these heartfelt "gratitude bucket lists" as described by some of our most beloved artists are sure to inspire readers everywhere to make their own lists—and live their own lives with more love, affection, and thanksgiving."

The giveaway will end on December 22nd.

Here's how to enter -

1- You must post a comment to this thread telling us three things you are grateful for. Winners will be chosen by Todd and announced here on December 23rd.

2- Be sure to include a way for us to contact you if you win.

3 - The contest is for US / Canada residents only - sorry International friends. I don't create the rules, I only enforce them!

To sweeten the pot, Todd will ship each winner a little something extra. So not only will the winners receive a copy of On Gratitude, but they will also randomly be sent one of the following:
  • One signed book hand-selected from the library of Ray Bradbury,
  • One signed book hand-selected from the library of Brad Meltzer,
  • One signed movie poster from Adam McKay,
  • One concert CD (not signed) from Steven Wright,
  • or One signed bookplate from Neil Gaiman.

5 great goodies - one to accompany each of the 5 copies we are giving away! So make your list, and check it twice, and then post it for the chance to win a copy of On Gratitude and one of these other great gifts..... just in time for the holidays!

Good Luck!!!

  3. Ohhh, Lori, what a contest!!

    I am grateful for:

    1) My amazing parents. We are a family of three and despite the ups and downs that come with that, I love them both with all of my heart EVERY day! I hate not getting to spend the holidays with them:(

    2) Having a roof over my head and an income to support myself with (and buy lots of books with!!) As much as I bitch about my job and my neighbors, I know that there are a lot of people out there who do not have either of these things!

    3) It will sound cliche, but I'm grateful for the freedoms we have in this country. We Americans may not be perfect, but we are free to vote for whomever we wish, to choose to do whatever we want, to love or hate or be indifferent. We're free to read whatever we choose, to say whatever we want, to get an education, to be independent. We welcome all races and religions, all genders and ages, all beliefs. We may not be perfect, but we are free to make our lives whatever we choose!

  5. What a great giveaway! Thank you. I'm thankful for so many things but I'll try and give you just three.

    I am thankful for:

    1) Being able to read, learn and be educated, use my imagination, be myself and express my thoughts and free will. This is a blessing that unfortunately, is not available to everyone.

    2) That my loved ones (or myself) are not phyiscally or mentally ill. With everything that is going on in Haiti these days with the cholera outbreak I just can't imagine if that was me and my family.I wish that there was more that we could do more to help.

    3) That I love and I am loved. Love is what truely makes the world go round.
