Rutabaga's Free Book Contest: #StayHome Edition

May I interest anyone in a free book?

   Suffice it to say that 2020 hasn’t been meeting anyone’s expectations. The top of the year looked so promising, but we’ve all long since wished there was a RESET button we could push. During this unprecedented time that’s brought stressors that most (or all) have never experienced before, I want to throw something fun in the ring. Hence, my second Free Book Contest.

1.)    Between now and the end of May, be the person to accumulate the most points by leaving comments on my blog. The comment must relate to the blog post. You can leave more than one comment on the same post as long as it’s related, whether it’s an original comment or a reply/follow-up to a previous question/comment.

2.)   I am trying out a points system for this contest. Participants will receive:

A.)  4 points for any question or comment on THIS post;

B.)  3 points for any question or comment on any 2020 post;

C.)  2 points for any question or comment on any post prior to the year 2020;

D.) 5 points for any question or comment left on my “Origin of The Reading Rutabaga” post. (Hint: The “Rutabagian Search” bar may prove helpful.)

   Friendly reminders:

1.)    Be civil. While I appreciate that we all have varying opinions, there is no need to be crass or vulgar. We are all better than that.

2.)   Use the same name every time you comment. If you post as “Mulan” the first time, post as “Mulan” each subsequent time. If you post next as “Rutabaga,” that will be recorded as comments from two different people.

   For the winner:

1.)    The book you choose can be any book that has been featured in a single book post or a compilation post or seen in a Positive Page-turner’s Challenge picture. Exception: If the book you’re most interested in is not the first in a series, and you’d like to start at the beginning, I would get you the first book instead.

2.)   If the book has both a hardcover and paperback version, I will choose the less costly of the two. This is really only important if the winner is particular about book formats.

3.)   I apologize for any inconvenience, but books will be sent to U.S. addresses only. (As before, I don’t think this will affect any participants, but it’s included anyway.)

HAPPY COMMENTING AND LET’S LOOK TOWARD BRIGHTER DAYS!!
