Boneman’s Daughters Giveaway!

cover-of-bonemans-daughtersMiriam at Hatchette Book Group has graciously provided me with copies of Boneman’s Daughters by Ted Dekker to give away to three of my lucky readers!  I am so excited!  I finished this novel during the Read-a-Thon yesterday and really loved it.  If you like suspense, this is a great summer read for you.  Why don’t you enter?

About the contest:

This contest is going to run longer than usual because I have three copies to giveaway.  It is open until 11:59 PM EST on May 4th.  I’ll announce the winner on Tuesday, May 5th.

How do you enter?

You can enter by leaving a comment about the most suspenseful book you’ve ever read.  Your comment will give you one entry.

For two additional comment, leave a second comment answering this question: Is there anything you wouldn’t do to save my child from mortal  danger? Please explain why.

For two additional entries, tweet  about the contest and make sure to include @lithousewife in the message.

For four additional entries, post about this contest with a link to Ted Dekker’s Blog Talk Radio inteview.

ted-dekkerHere’s the big kahuna of additional entries: you will earn six additional entries for listening to Ted Dekker’s Blog Talk Radio interview tomorrow at 2pm – 4/20/09 – and correctly answering the question I have about the interview that I post on my right sidebar (I’ll make it easy to find) via email.  I will post the question at 4pm EST tomorrow – meaning 4/20/09.  If you answer the question within an hour of my posting it, I will add an additional four entries.  So, just by listening to the interview and answering the question by 5pm EST tomorrow – 4/20/09, you can earn 10 additional entries. Could there really be a better deal than that?  [If you can't listen to it live, you can earn the six entries by listening to the interview and emailing me until 11:59 on May 4].

But that is not all!  I have a question in mind to ask Ted tomorrow on the show.  If you let me know what you think of it by tweet or email before I post my question at 4pm, you  can earn six more entries.  

Phew… that’s a lot of entires…  I’m worn out just from thinking of it all. LOL!

As you can see, I’m really excited about this contest and the radio show tomorrow.  Enter and tell your friends about it.

    For one entry:

    Most suspenseful book? It’s a tie between Intensity by Dean Koontz and The Thirteenth Tale.

    For two more entries:

    I’ve thought about this question before if you can believe it. There is nothing that I wouldn’t do to save my child. I would do whatever it takes, and not hesitate one minute over it.

    Most suspenseful book would probably be one of Karin Slaughter’s.

    I’m going to try to remember to listen to that interview today, but in the meantime, I will answer these: I read alot of mystery/thriller types of books, but rarly find myself truly on the edge of my seat. I do remember having the bejesus scared out of me when I read “Pet Semetary” by Stephen King (to the point where I couldn’t sleep and didn’t want to be alone!). And I would lay down my life for my kids, so I guess that means I would do anything humanly possible to save them from harm!

    Scarpettajunkie here. The most suspenseful book has to be The Day Of The Jackal. I was naked in my husband’s bathrobe all day because we argued about what is really good literature and my husband bet me I would never read the jackal. I picked it up and read it in a day. I never got dressed. I just sweated and paced and ranted and felt like I’d been through a wringer at the end.

    The most suspenseful book I’ve read was either Candyman or The Heart-Shaped Box. I read the former when I was in high school, so it might not be so scary now, but I read Heart-Shaped a few weeks ago. As far as an unnerving, stick-with-ya scary book, though, Bentley Little’s The Store still creeps up into my brain everytime I go to Wal-Mart.

    I soooooo want to win this book! :-D

    Ti, no worried about the Twitter link. I don’t know how to do that myself. I got a copy by the @lithousewife, so that’s cool.

    Thanks so much to everyone for your suspense/scary novel suggestions. I haven’t read or even heard of most of those novels except Pet Semetary. I read that while babysitting and I had pretty much the same reaction as Sandy! That walk home after midnight when the parent’s got home (just across the street and down one house) was the scariest walk of my life! LOL! Koolaid Mom – if you get the willies just from seeing the cover at Wal-Mart, I must read that book!

    Good luck to everyone! Keep those comments, tweets and posts coming. I can’t wait for today’s interview on Blog Talk Radio. I’ll be posting my question in the right sidebar at 4pm EST. Be sure to tweet me or send an email about my question for the author for six additional entries!

    k’s… I added the contest with link to the Blog Talk Radio interview. One thing… You say it’s on tomorrow at 2, but the link says 4/20 (today) at 1pm.

    as to the Q of what I wouldn’t do to protect one of my kids from mortal danger. I don’t know, and I could sit here and say I’d do whatever it took, but until I was actually in that moment, I couldn’t know. Crises reveals to us who and what our TRUE selves are.

    for two more tries…”Is there anything you wouldn’t do to save my child from mortal danger?”
    I don’t have children, but will a niece do? Well, it depends how you define “anything”. Would I do something morally indefensible….would I kill an innocent person for example…well, no. Because there are worse things than death, even of someone that you love.

    The question alone brings up so many wonderful heart thumping memories…too many. I can’t seem to pull one title out. I think they’ve melted into one long memory. ::Nightmare File::

    This is hard but I’ve got to say Contest by Matthew Reilly (1996). It was a mile a minute and freaked me out. Great read.

    Is there anything you wouldn’t do to save my child from mortal danger? Please explain why… Well, I don’t know your child but I would do a fair amount of things if I knew the child even if I didn’t.. Now if it was MY child.. I would go to the ends of the world and beyond if needed… My daughter is already having a life or death surgery at 11 months old and I had every possible test done on myself to see if I could do anything.. A mothers love knows no boundaries

    Wow! You all have such wonderful suspenseful reads to suggest! I can’t believe that I’ve read only one of them still. Create job!

    Don’t forget to listen to Ted Dekker’s interview from Monday. It was a lot of fun! The question and the link are in the right sidebar. It’s a fun way to earn a lot of extra entries!

    Brooke, I wish your daughter the best! I hope that all goes well. I can only imagine what you are going through with that. That theme is really at the heart of Boneman’s Daughter, which is why I asked the question. Your family is in my prayers!

    This book isn’t really labeled as a mystery but it was very suspenseful. I couldn’t figure out what was going on and I’m still not totally sure! It was

    I am dying to read this book. I don’t read a lot of suspense but if I were to say something that I’ve read that was suspenseful – I’d have to say it was The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I couldn’t read that book too late at night because I wouldn’t be able to sleep. It had me paranoid.

    While I haven’t read it in a long time, the book Lost Boys by Orson Scott Card is probably the most suspenseful I can remember reading. It had me from the first page, a tough job since I had already read his short story that he reworked into this full novel. ;)
