Miriam 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.
Here’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.

the best suspense I can remember is an old fantasy novel by Father Andrew Greeley, it’s called the God Game. thanks for the giveaway
lets see…for most suspenseful book I will say…Shadow Man by Cody McFadyen
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 scariest book I ever read was The Amityville Horror. Thanks for the giveaway!

I think I would do whatever it took to save my kids, but as Kool Aid said you really don’t know until you’re in the circumstances. Thanks for the giveaway!

In the Woods by Tana French
it was “the stand” by stephen king. it is still my favorite book of his
One of the most suspenseful books i have read was Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
prplrush’s last blog post..Twilight
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.
My most supense book was anything by Mary Higgins Clark I love the way she introduced multiple characters to her stories. Thanks for the giveaway

Velocity by Dean Koontz was the most suspenseful book I have read

The most suspenseful book I ever read was Infected by Scott Sigler.
Definitely “It” by Stephen King was the most suspenseful book I’ve read.
The book sounds great, I read House by this author and really enjoyed it
fun contest! I think the most suspenseful books I’ve ever read are Life Expectancy by Koontz and The Shining by King.
There is nothing I wouldn’t do to save my child.
thanks for the fun contest!

Jeffery Deaver always keeps me on the edge!
Hmm So many good ones but I had to search for the one that kept me up to the end.. Although I guess it’s more a thriller/suspense… THE CHURCH OF DEAD GIRLS by Stephen Dobyns

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!

I recently read and really enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale and I also enjoy Stephen King’s books.
I can’t think of any situation in which I wouldn’t do whatever necessary to protect my child — I wouldn’t even think about it, I’d just do it!

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
The History of Love by Nicole Krauss.
I would do anything to save my child/children. No doubt about it.
Well, I believe that honor goes to The Stand by Stephen King and it scared the pants off me. I remember being scared but not wanting to put it down.
Thanks for sharing

I would do absolutely anything for either of my children, including die to save them. They are my world, without them I would be empty.
thanks again

Thanks

The most suspenseful book I’ve ever read was The Bone Collector by Jeffery Deaver
The scariest book I ever read was Salem’s Lot by Stephen King. I worked evening shifts so would be sitting on my bed in the early AM all alone while reading it in the dark. I’d hear scratching on my bedroom window and FREAK OUT!!!! UGH
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.

Honestly, I think it would have to “Three” also by Ted Dekker! I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book.
Please enter me in your giveaway!

Thank you for the opportunity to win this book. The Kanner Lake series by Brandilynn Collins is suspensful!
Sanibel Flats by Randy Wayne White
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova kept me reading all night one weekend. Thank you for the oppportunity to win this book!
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.
How did I not see about this until now?! The most suspenseful book I’ve ever read is Term Limits by Vince Flynn. It was like reading 24!

The most suspenseful book I’ve ever read would be Dean Koontz’ Watchers.
I would love to win this book. One of the most suspenseful books I have ever read was The Fey by Claudia Hall Christian
I don’t have children but I don’t think I would hesitate to do most things to save a child, except maybe climb really high.

I really want this book. The most suspenseful young adult book I’ve read is What Happened to Cass McBride by Gail Giles. Also, I tweeted about this contest!

The most suspenseful novel I’ve read this year was Acceleration by Graham McNamee. It was very good.
booksobsession(at)gmail(dot)com
Is there anything you wouldn’t do to save my child from mortal danger? Well, I don’t have any kids, but we’ll just pretend like I do.
I probably WOULD do anything to save them, unless it was killing someone else. I would never kill someone to save someone else.
I also posted this contest on my sidebar!
