What Are Your Favorite Books?


You are invited to participate in building a new Community Books section on the Artella Web site.

What I'm looking for is one-paragraph "reviews" of your favorite book(s).

The paragraph can be simple and straightforward - i.e., "I loved this book because_____", or "This book really got me thinking about _____". The books can be absolutely any genre or topic, mainstream or obscure.

For each review you submit, you get 5 raffle tickets that you can apply to the 12 raffle prizes given below. (2 reviews = 10 tickets, 3 reviews = 15, etc.) There is no maximum of reviews you can enter.

Then, use the total number of tickets on any raffle prize you want! Spread them out over several prizes, or put them all toward one prize. It's your choice!

FIRM DEADLINE FOR ENTERING: Friday, September 17, at 12 noon EDT. Raffle winners will be announced next weekend.

***Please feel free to share this with anyone else you know who might like to participate, including folks outside of the regular Artella circles***
