Rutabaga’s Free Book Contest: #Unmasked@Home Edition

How do you feel about a free book?

   2020 continues to be a year of turmoil. Since reading is my kind of happy (and escape and sanity-grounder), I am hosting my third Free Book Contest and second contest for this year.

1.)    Between now and up to 11:59 p.m. CST on December 31, 2020, 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.

2.)    WATCH THOSE POINTS! Again, I’m using a points system for this contest. Participants will receive:

A.)  5 points for any question or comment on THIS post;

B.)  4 points for any question or comment on any 2020 post;

C.)  3 points for any question or comment on any post prior to the year 2020;

D.)  6 points for any question or comment left on ANY Trondhjem-related poems posts (Hint: The “Rutabagian Search” bar may prove helpful.);

E.)   BONUS points for questions that may pop up on this post. The first correct answer will receive 5 points, then 4 and so on down to 1 point if five or more correctly answer. Answers must be submitted within a week after the question is published on THIS post. So check back at least once a week!

   Friendly reminders:

1.)    Be civil. Freedom of speech and opinion is important, but rude language and mean words are not. Always be 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.

   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. (Exception: My youngest brother, though I’d be very surprised if he would comment to win!)

HAPPY COMMENTING AND MAINTAIN THAT POSITIVITY!!
