*Sticky Post (scroll down for newer stuff)
It's Buy a Friend a Book Week again! This time the book up for grabs is Strangers by Taichi Yamada. I read it for last year's R.I.P. Challenge, so it's been read once but is still like new, and while I didn't love it (didn't hate it either), it's had some good reviews. (Click on the title above to read the reviews at Amazon). Plus it's a slim book that won't take too much time to read. So I'm hoping someone will enjoy it!As an added bonus, since I received 2 of them with my recent poppet purchases, I'll include one of Lisa Snellings-Clark's disembodied hand bookmarks.
If you're interested please leave a comment on this post by Friday, October 5th, and I'll draw a name sometime during the day on Saturday, October 6th. And remember that anyone anywhere can enter.

I'd love to win the book - thanks! You can get a hold of me over at www.blogginboutbooks.blogspot.com. Thanks again!
I didn't think I'd be interested, but after reading that David Mitchell blurbed it, and about the comparisons to Murakami and "The Time Traveler's Wife", and its themes of loss and impermanence, it seems like it would be my kind of thing.
Love your banner!
The bookmark is fabulous! Just ordered an orange poppet myself...can't wait for it to arrive!
:) I love the bookmark.
what a great idea~ I'm going to steal this for my blog, if you don't mind! I've got a book or two I'm willing to part with :-)
Count me in! I forgot it was that time of year again! I meant to have a give away on my blog.
count me in.. i would love to read this :D
I think I'm more excited about the possibility of winning the bookmark than I am about the book! LOL!

I like the sounds of this one, Nat. Put my name in the hat too please. :)
Susan, ok got your name down.
Teresa, I have to admit I thought I'd like it more than I did because of the David Mitchell quote but I probably just missed something.
Debi, thanks! I thought it was kinda fun for the season. Enjoy your orange poppet!
Cathrine, it's fun. :)
Janet, of course I don't mind. This is only my 2nd time to join in. Check out the main blog for more info.
Kailana, you still could!
Ideru, consider yourself counted.
LisaMM, LOL! That's ok.
Donna, will do. :)
Ooh please add me in the drawing. That book sounds very cool and not to mention that disembodied hand bookmark is a must-have :)
Enter my name. If the book wasn't enough to entice me (which it was), the bookmark sealed the deal. :)
Iliana, I didn't know what to call it, but I guess 'disembodied' works! And yes, everyone really should have one! ;)
Kookie,
Your name is duly entered. :)
Oh! Pick me, pick me! Can you send it all the way to Mie prefecture?
I would like to enter your drawing, Tanabata. :-) Thanks so much. The bookmark is neat--both book and bookmark are perfect for the season.
Please add me into the draw. That bookmark is irresistible.
Please add my name to the list!
びっくり, I'm pretty sure I could manage sending to Mie Prefecture if you win. It would definitely be the closest destination.
Literary Feline, I'm having such fun with Autumn/RIP themed reads right now, I wanted to share the joy! :)
BooksPlease, I've added your name.
Jenclair, your name is on the list.
I adore those Snellings-Clark bookmarks! So much so that I'm afraid to use them. They might get bent. :(
Oh, yes throw my hand, I mean name, in for the drawing. Way cool stuff!
Andi, you could always laminate the paper bit to make it stiffer. :)
booklogged, hehe! Your hand/name has been added!
Love your blog and you give a book away idea - I have 100s of books and may just follow your idea if you don't mind! Till then I would love to be entered in the contest. And thanks for linking me to Lisa Snellings poppets I love them.
Ooh - sounds like an awesome book! Please put my name in the hat!

I got my first Poppet just the other day, and I absolutely LOVED the hand bookmark!
