It's not only April Fool's Day, it's also the first day of yet another BAFAB week! I've been too busy working to think up a clever contest, so we'll make this one easy: Leave a comment on this post before midnight Eastern Standard Time on Monday, April 7, and in the meantime, I'll figure out some interesting way to draw a winner's name at random (without the cats' help, I promise). You don't need to decide yet what book you want, but it must be a paperback available from Amazon. All I ask is that you participate in BAFAB yourself: You can actually buy a book for someone, or just give away a book you already own, doesn't matter. Good luck, and happy BAFABing to all!

Sending Atonement to my moved-away friend Missy.....
Posted by: Kelly | April 01, 2008 at 03:16 PM
Kelly's friend Missy won't be getting anything done once she starts that, will she? I'm giving my friend a book about mothering tricks. I want to read Fahrenheit 451!!
I don't think spellcheck spelled that right.

Hello (Waving madly)
I just wanted to stop in and say HI. I saw your blog on a mutual friend of ours and I have never been by before. Wow. I guess its been my loss : ) I LOVE your blog! I hope you'll stop by my blog as well and enter MY contest for BYFAB Week as well : )
I'd love to have you, so please do stop by! I love to meet new people and it was certainly nice to "meet" you (through the words on your blog).
Your new friend,
Amy

Thanks for this lovely giveaway. I gave my son two books this week and a friend a wonderful novel.

I think I missed BAFAB, but I've been in Florida and this week I visited the Apple store. I bought a new laptop bag, put all my stuff in it and then realized that it wasn't a backpack bag, but a shoulder bag, so I quickly exchanged it. Later on I realized that I donated my copy of Eat,Pray,Love because I left it in the shoulder bag, so I'm thinking that's my BAFAB. And then today I bought my daughter and her friend a book at the AMAZING Books & Books in Miami.

Enter me too please! I am giving away one of three sort of self-help-type books over at Facing Abuse; do enter if any of them appeal to you :)
Posted by: danica | April 05, 2008 at 02:24 AM
I hope it counts if I gave away a book to someone I know offline (I gave a copy of Witches Abroad to my friend D).

Never knew about BAFAB Week 'til I was introduced to your blog. Such a cool idea. Thanks for "spreading the word" so to speak. :-)

I am going to give a friend The Ten Year Nap just as soon as I read it myself!

So many books to think about sending friends! I have forgotten this cool week the last few years now, so this year I've got to do it. I think I am going to send Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.
Posted by: Kathleen | April 06, 2008 at 04:52 PM
Ooh! Count me in! I just found a beautiful copy of The Once and Future King, which I'm giving to my best friend (since I already own it). Happy BAFAB!
