I Like Books Because...Sometimes They're Free

About a month ago, my publisher proved his awesomeness by agreeing to give away three free, advance copies of The Great Lenore. We ran a little contest for the first free copy, and I told you that we'd start all over in about a month.

Yup - here we are again.

The rules are simple:

Step 1:
Post tweets on twitter that begin in the following manner: #ILikeBooksBecause

And that end in the following manner: http://bit.ly/fI7W73

Here are some examples:

#ILikeBooksBecause they taste better than movies http://bit.ly/fI7W73

#ILikeBooksBecause they make me taller http://bit.ly/fI7W73

#ILikeBooksBecause I have a functioning imagination http://bit.ly/fI7W73

#ILikeBooksBecause I don't know how to read http://bit.ly/fI7W73

#ILikeBooksBecause they make me look sexy http://bit.ly/fI7W73

#ILikeBooksBecause my bookshelf looks empty without them http://bit.ly/fI7W73


Step 2:
On Friday morning, I'll pick my favorite tweets, and I'll give everyone a few days to vote on which one they like the best.

The Great Lenore will be in bookstores next June 15, but whoever receives the most votes will find a free copy of The Great Lenore in their hands at the end of February.

Yup. That's about it.


The more tweets you post, the more chances you have to win (and, quite frankly, the more in love with you I'll be).

Just copy and paste the following to your Twitter, and fill in the middle: #ILikeBooksBecause http://bit.ly/fI7W73

If you haven't read the short, tasty sample of The Great Lenore, you can find it here.

If you don't know anything about The Great Lenore, here is everything you need to know in a walnut shell.

Any questions?
No? Good.

Ready.
Set.
Go.
