**The new (optional) Book Giveaway Question is:
"It's time once again for our annual New Year's Resolutions.
But instead of thinking of New Year's Resolutions for yourself
(how boring!), why not think up some for other people? What New
Year's Resolutions would you make for anyone in the public eye
(e.g., pop stars, paparazzi, professional athletes, politicians,
actors, authors, television programming decision-makers, book
publishers etc.)? What would you like to see any of these people
change about themselves or their policies (if they are decision-
makers for the country) in 2009?"
There's no entry fee of any kind and all email addresses are kept strictly confidential. Winners are selected monthly from a
random draw. The entry form for the Book Giveaways can be found here.

Current Book Giveaways
The new book giveaways include:
- The Last Oracle by James Rollins (William Morrow), the spine-
tingling new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author
of Black Order and Map of Bones.
- This Year You Write Your Novel by Walter Mosely (Little, Brown),
the must-have writing guide from the bestselling author of the
Easy Rawlins and Fearless Jones mystery series.
- Don't Make Me Choose Between You and My Shoes by
Dixie Cash (Avon), the hilarious new chick lit novel about two

New York City in search of some fun and some fabulous shoes.
- The Write Type: Discover Your True Writer's Identity and
Create a Customized Writing Plan by Karen E. Peterson, Ph.D.
(Adamas Media)
**The new (optional) Book Giveaway Question is:
"U.S. swimmer and Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps eats
12,000 calories a day and trains five hours a day. A typical
breakfast for him consists of three fried-egg sandwiches loaded
with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet,
a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with
powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes. If you were
an Olympic swimmer forced to eat that much, what would you
have for breakfast? What about dinner? In this hypothetical
exercise, you will never gain an ounce, have any adverse
health effects, you're pretty much always hungry and your
sponsors are paying your food bills."

Current Book Giveaways
The new book giveaways sponsored by our sister sites, ReadersRead.com and WritersWrite.com, include:
- The Host (Little, Brown) by Stephenie Meyer, the #1
New York Times bestselling author of the Twilight series.
The Host is "science fiction for those who don't like science
fiction." It's the most romantic story about body snatchers
ever written.
- A Writer's Space: Make Room to Dream, to Work, to Write by
Eric Maisel, Ph.D., the book that shows readers how to
unlock the secrets of the creative space needed to write.
**The new (optional) Book Giveaway Question is:
"The 2008 summer Olympics will be held in Beijing, China
beginning on August 8th. The games have been overshadowed by
waves of bad publicity for the Chinese government over its
crackdown on Tibet, Steven Spielberg's withdrawal from the games
as Artistic Advisor because of China's position on the humanitarian
crisis in Darfur, concerns about the effect of Beijing's pollution
on the athletes and questions about whether the facilities will
be ready in time. Have the controversies made you more or less
likely to watch the Olympic games this year? Will you be tuning
in to follow the games?"

Current Book Giveaways
 The new book giveaways sponsored by our sister sites, ReadersRead.com and WritersWrite.com, include:
- The Accidental Vampire by Lynsay Sands (Avon), the funny,
sexy story of a woman who never intended to wind up being
the only vampire in a small town.
- The Alpine Traitor by Mary Daheim (Ballantine), the
charming new Emma Lord mystery.
- What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman (HarperCollins),
the gripping crime novel that won the Quill Award.
- Manuscript Makeover: Revision Techniques No Fiction Writer
Can Afford to Ignore by Elizabeth Lyon (Penguin).
**The new (optional) Book Giveaway Question is:
"Lately there has been a rash of bestselling and critically
praised memoirs that turned out to be total fiction. Some of the
latest fake memoir stories included a man who vastly exaggerated
his tale of drug addiction (A Million Little Pieces by James
Frey), a wealthy white Valley Girl who wrote that she was a
biracial gangbanger in Los Angeles (Love and Consequences by
Margaret B. Jones) , and a woman who pretended that she was
adopted by wolves in the forest who helped her escape the Nazis
during World War II (Misha: A Memoir of the Holocaust Years
by Misha Defonseca). The one thing these stories all had in common
was their wild, unusual storylines that made them fun to read.
(Some people think that the wild storylines should have tipped
off publishers that the books were fiction). Have these
scandals made you more skeptical about reading autobiographies
and memoirs? If you were going to write your fake memoir, who
would you pretend to be? What bizarre life experiences would
you pretend to have had? Do you think you could fool a book
publisher (or Oprah) into believing your story was true?"
