Have you heard about Buy A Friend A Book Week?
“The rules are simple
Just get yourself to a real-life or virtual book store during Buy a Friend a Book Week (the first weeks of January, April, July, and October) and, well, buy a friend a book (or e-book)! But here’s the fun part: you can’t buy your friend a book because it’s their birthday or they just graduated or got engaged or had a baby or anything else. You have to give them a book for no good reason. In fact, this present out of the blue from you should shock the pants off of whomever you decide to give it to. And it’ll make them happy. And that’s the point: promote reading, promote friendships. Just make sure to let them know about Buy a Friend a Book Week.”
Just an all-around fun idea, right?
Well, here at Treehouse Jukebox, we’re getting in the booky spirit! Each Wednesday in June, I’ll post a book-related question. Comment with your answers. Every comment to one of my Wednesday book question posts will be an entry into a drawing for…you guessed it…free books!
What the prize books will be in a mystery for now, but I can tell you they’ll be gently used books that I hope you’ll love. And I’ll also throw in some other little goodies.
Be sure to include your email address when you comment so I can contact you if you win.
The winner will be announced July 1st. So, get ready to comment!

Nice contest! I’ll be taking part, but if I win, you’ll have to post to the UK. Is that OK? You may want to mark it as ‘US Only’ if not

Thanks for letting me know about this! I’ll Twitter it.

What a great way to participate in BAFAB! I’ll have to try something similar this time around
