*This is a little nonfic gardening book with amazing advice, remedies and tips for the home gardener.

*I've already read this one, many times, but I needed to look up a passage for a friend, and ended up re-reading several favorite chapters, so it counts.

    I would be so in love with winning this contest. I work 12 hours graveyards and this would do me for a month. Not to mention so many authors I've never read. Postage is going to be fairly brutal though.

  2. All I can say is PICK ME!!

    I will be in the US this summer so don't fear the international postage rates to Egypt :)

  5. I am so impressed with your reading speed. I thought I read fast, but I am in awe. I'd love to win, for the material, but also to get such an awesome package in the mail. It would be like a summer Christmas.

  6. It would definitely be like having Christmas in summer. I am truly in awe by how much you've read this week (and a little jealous). Hope you're having a good weekend, and that the weather is cooperating (have you had much rain lately?)

  7. Does the packages include bookshelves? :)

    Just curious, but how long did it take you to read the Raintree book (just to get an idea of the speed you are at)?

    Man, that whole list is just amazing. I don't think I could read that much in two to three months. And it's super amazing considering how much you write and read during a week. I'm in AWE.

    Oh, which also leads me to wonder how much you spend on books a month? You might be singlehandedly keeping publishers in business!

  18. Books are balm to my soul. I read and have always felt this way about books and reading. The choice is divine.

  19. All I can say is...well...OOH! There are so many authors I either want to read because I've heard of them and like them (Stephen King) or there's books I've heard lots of hype about (Raintree) that I want to read...the Hugh Laurie reading Great Expectations is just too awesome.

    My family wants me to win this so they can get a crack at some of the books too.

    Fingers crossed.

    Wow what a cool list of authors I either want to read because I've heard great things about their books or some of them are my favorite authors!

    I would love to win this contest since I love reading!

  21. Great contest!!I would love to win!!!I read really fast too. If the book is good I just can't put it down and usually read it in one sitting. I just can't stop!! Then I get frustrated if I have nothing to read after that!!LOL!!These would keep me busy for awhile!! Good luck to everybody!!!

  22. You'd better stop or you're going to need a sea container just to ship it around the country :)

  23. Are those jingle bells that I hear? Or the prancing of little hooves? Looks around to see if I can spot Santa. I had no idea his hair was so long...and dark. ;) Terrific list. Quite a variety. There are a few books on there that I've been meaning to buy. There are also several that I've never read. I suppose that's fairly typical. *g*

    Just wanted to say i love your blog. How do you read so much in a week??! I love to read but usually only manage at most a book a day...

    Am tosing my name in the hat for the giveaway...knowing it'll take a month to read all the books ob the list (which I plan to do regardless of whether I win or not)

    Dang! The number of books that you read are impressive. I would love to win because I'm a poor college student and my school's library never gets any new fiction books.

    I hope I'm not too late, but I can never work out the difference between EST and GMT so I'm fairly sure I've missed the dealine... as usual :-)

  32. What a selection!

    I have been in such a reading rut, just re-reading a few old favorites I happened to find unpacked from my move 18 months ago. And yes, there are STILL boxes to unpack...someday....one of these days....

    Here's hoping!
