Maureen M., please email me with your mailing address and I'll send your book out!

(Update, 7/14/12): I'm popping back in to address questions and comments:
*You are never too old for this book.
*Yes, the tablecloth came from Walmart, even though I kind of hate Walmart.
*Liz - no cheating. I've taught Ramona better than that.
*Marc, here's your holla, whoop-whoop.
*Yes, a Lutheran can win.
*Ellie, only one cup per day? I am sad!
*Cherie and Jessica, don't worry -- I won't count your duplicate comments.
*Rebecca, the bookplates were shipped around the country from writer to writer. The box included chocolate because Hallie's perfect that way.
*It's not an e-book version -- it's paperback and the bookplate will be included.
*Jen, yes, someone said coffee.
*Sarah, I will remember not to leave my tablecloth outside too long.
*Kati, who is your sister-in-law?
*Corita, I'm sorry your commenting was such an ordeal!
*Sue, yes, checking out my blog is a great idea!
*Joy, I love that you're analyzing our handwriting. I am a classic introvert.
*Bridget, you'll have to brave Walmart yourself to find the answer to that question.
*Trena, yes, one must be careful with one's search terms.
*knit_tgz: I don't think that's odd at all.
*Anne, I will pick a winner using a random number generator, discounting duplicate comments. (In the past, I have chosen winners using strips of paper, but I put the names in a coffee cup, not a hat, and I didn't even know I could spin comments on the iPad.)

You know Hallie Lord's book?
You know how the book trailer was banned on YouTube? (Because we Catholic women are outrageous and must be banned.)
You know how Hallie and other contributors (such as Simcha, Jennifer, Rachel, Rebecca, to name a few) have hosted various giveaways?
You know how I contributed a chapter to the book, too?
Add up all my "You Know"s and you know what I'm getting at?
Leave a comment on this post and you'll be entered in the drawing for a copy of Style, Sex and Substance: Ten Catholic Women Consider the Things That Really Matter.
It will include this bookplate:
Signed by all ten writers!
Your comment can be anything -- you can say, "Hey," or "Me!" or "I like coffee" or "Where did you get that tablecloth?" or "Why did you all sign in straight lines like that? Does Ocd run in this group of writers?"
This post will be open for comments until Tuesday night, July 17th. See you in the combox!
7/18/12: Comments closed.
I'd love to win a copy! (And I like coffee. And your tablecloth.) Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a copy, because I keep forgetting to buy it!
ReplyDeletePick me; pick me! That is a lovely tablecloth. :)
ReplyDeletemmmm coffee! :)
ReplyDeleteI figured it's not necessary for an oldster like me, but I just have to tell you that you made me truly laugh out loud with the ocd comment. I can think of someone I could give it to if I win. Narrowing it down to whom will be the problem, just like the problem of stopping my long-windedness on blog comments. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a copy of this book. It's on my list of books I want to read. Now if I could just find a few spare hours each day I could read everything that I want to read.
ReplyDeleteMy two year old has taken to saying, "I need coffee!" Guess where he picked that up? :) I'd love to win!
ReplyDelete"Where did you get that tablecloth?" and it is, indeed, lovely).
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your chapter!
ReplyDeleteOh I still don't have a copy. Count me in! Thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteI like coffee AND tablecloths.
ReplyDeleteI detest coffee, and I don't even own any tableclothes. That's why I need to learn a thing or two from some good Catholic women.
ReplyDeletepick me, pick me!!! i'm still trying to find time to read, but i love to have options (from one cdo to the other, nice tablecloth!) :)
ReplyDeletePlease, oh, please! I would just love a copy.
ReplyDeleteCoffee, tablecloths and books: it doesn't get much better than that! :)
ReplyDeleteI actually bought the book, and love it so much I would like to win a copy to lend out, cuz no way am I letting mine go on the chance I might not get it back!

ReplyDeleteI love chicken.
ReplyDelete@Michael: Seems we're a bit outnumbered here. No worries. We love the ladies in our lives and could easily learn from and pass on the wisdom in this book. Can I get a "holla" and a "whoop whoop"?

ReplyDeleteDid someone say coffee?
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! And I HAVE that tablecloth, so I'm pretty sure it came from Walmart a few years ago? Although mine sat out on the porch too long and got mildewed, so now it's more of an extremely pretty rag. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteOoooo! I so want to read this!

ReplyDelete~Lynn
What a grand, grand, grand idea! Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteI came over here last night and spent fifteen minutes trying to figure out how to post a comment. No success. Finally this morning I spotted the small sentence at the bottom of all the comments! And I feel more tired this morning than I did last night!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to, you know, leave this comment in hopes of, you know, winning a copy of the book......
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your book this summer and discussing it with a few good bible study friends. Thanks ladies for putting this one together it has provided some laughs, tears and inspiration. I certainly plan on sharing it with more friends!

ReplyDeleteOooh, I would love to win a copy of this book. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the tilt of each author's handwriting (extrovert/introvert) and how large (Rachel!) or small (really? everyone else?). Fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI like coffee - and I like tablecloths (but they are dangerous with my littles who think they can do that magic trick of yanking the cloth out from under all the stuff on the table), and I'm sure I'd love the book!
ReplyDeleteDoes that tablecloth come in any other colors?
ReplyDeleteI'd love a copy--of the book and the tablecloth!!
ReplyDeleteMe, please. :-D
ReplyDeleteMy husband tried buying me this book for Mother's Day but messed up and bought me a book on using a vibrator. Yep, he did that. So yes, I would love to win the right book!

ReplyDeleteCoffee and books are really good, especially when they are given away. I'm not really a tablecloth person. Even a table runner is risky at our house with three kids three and under.
