Up for this weeks book give-away is the book: Bluebird, or the Invention of Happiness, written by Sheila Kohler.

Please just comment below to be entered into the drawing. Multiple entries are allowed.

I will post another article in a couple of days to see if additional people would like to enter the contest.

From the back of the book:

A sweeping historical novel, Bluebird is based on the life of Lucy Dillon, an 18th century French aristocrat. Wrenched from the court of Marie Antoinette by the Reign of Terror, the brave and resilient Lucy escapes with her family to the freedom and hardships of newly independent America where, on a dairy farm in the Hudson River Valley, she discovers a new life & her true self.

This contest will run until Friday 5:00pm

Good luck!

I tried to do as much reading as I could this summer while I didn't have to study. Though I would like to have a book that I could throw in my bag for in between times when I have an hour break.

Good luck to those who enter.
