First Contest ! ! ! Win a copy of Atonement by Ian McEwan!

Well, kiddos, figured it's time to have my first contest, so here goes. I am giving away a copy of the historical fiction novel Atonement by Ian McEwan. McEwan won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2002 for Atonement, as well as the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction. (And yes, the copy I'm giving away is the pretty movie tie-in cover...)





On a summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a moment's flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant. But Briony's incomplete grasp of adult motives and her precocious imagination bring about a crime that will change all their lives, a crime whose repercussions Atonement follows through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth century.

  5. You actually have 7 entries. I forgot to put +1 for the email (cause I don't want people to HAVE to do stuff if they dont want to, they can still enter). I've changed it to reflect that. So you got one for that, too. And if things keep going this way, you may have no competition...
