On the fifth day of giveaway (or, Bet you thought I'd forgotten!)


I'm still here. And I'm still giving stuff away. My family just had a second round of plague, but we're back on our feet, more or less.

Okay, Kriston is the winner by default of A World Away. Email me your mailing address, my dear!

And the next book is:

Wonder-Workers!: How They Perform The Impossible, by the terrific Joe Nickell, published by Prometheus Books.

I reviewed this book for our "Critical Thinking" issue. It's a collection of thumbnail biographies of various "wonder-workers" throughout the ages. Some, like Harry Houdini and Edgar Cayce, are familiar names; others, like Lulu Hurst and Evangeline Adams, are more obscure. All are fascinating.

This trade paperback children's book was sent to me gratis by the good people at Prometheus Books. I already had a copy (my husband is a big Prometheus fan, and also has a huge crush on Joe Nickell), so this nice fresh new copy needs a good home!

Who wants it?

Remember, post about any aspect of SHM on your blog, loop, listserv, Facebook page, etc., and you'll get an extra chance to win!

If I can win again, I'm happy to throw my name in for another one. Free is good, especially when it comes to books. :-)

We'd LOVE it! :)

Glad you guys survived the latest round of the plague. We were getting ready to do a lovely rendition of Ring Round the Rosey for you.
