On the eleventh day of giveaway...the editor ran out of stuff. (For now.)

A lot of enthusiasm for that last giveaway! Thank goodness for good old random.org, where I'm going right now in order to discover that...

...Rowan is the winnah! Thanks for playing! Send your mailing addy if I don’t already have it: deborah at 2ds dot org

Okay, so it's only eleven "days." (Some of those days lasted longer than others.) But it's free stuff, so I'm sure you'll all forgive me for not making it all the way to twelve. Especially since we made that last one a double.

The last book in the giveaway is a new, hardcover copy of Kathryn Lasky's picture book One Beetle Too Many: The Extraordinary Adventures of Charles Darwin.

I got this as a review copy, and it's a little young for my son. And my bookshelves are threatening to go on strike if I don't start doing some culling. So I'm forcing myself to part with it.

This book gives an overview of Darwin's life and adventures from childhood to old age. It's beautifully illustrated and does a good job of presenting how and why Darwin's ideas developed over time.

Post for a shot at winning. Previous rules apply regarding putting an extra number in the hat.
