Quick Giveaway 1.3.09

From the Back of the Book:

"The ear is 1863 during the hostile Civil War, where this riveting and tragic story takes hold of Virginia Mae Mercy, a fanatical Christian who believes her husband's death is divine justice. But when Virginia births a stillborn, she quickly denounces her faith.

Reconciled, she learns to love her only surviving daughter, Triste, a prodigious child with the power to heal.

Across this vast wasteland of severe injustice, Virginia discovers not only the startling truth about Triste's gift, but the truth about her own fate — a revelation that challenges her most profound beliefs — and ours."

Today's Quick Giveaway is "A Death for Beauty." I have shamelessly had this book for months and I just have not been able to get into it. I stuck to my review policy and made it 100 pages in, but this book is not for me. I'm blaming this bout of abandonment on brain exhaustion; after finishing finals I just want to read light books that don't induce too much thought process.

So my loss is your gain and in celebration of the last 24 hours of my campaign, I'd like to give this book to a past Guest Reviewer who has participated in my holiday campaign for reviews.

All that you have to do is email me at google [at] gmail [dot] com:
1. Your Name
2. Your Email Address
3. The corresponding number to the review you sent in according to the Mr. Linky (Look at Mr. Linky, find your name/number — that's what I'm looking for).

After the first person as emailed me — I will update this post and contact the winner and hopefully get the book sent out tomorrow!

Update: Winner is Esme!:) You have been emailed.
