GIVEAWAY CLOSED
I know I have mentioned this several times, but FINALLY we can get down to business. I am joining many, many other bloggers for the Book Giveaway Carnival that is kindly being brought to us by Tracy of Book Room Reviews. Want to get involved? You can host a giveaway too. Just drop by this link and get all the details from Tracy. :)
Now how about I let you know what I am giving away?
I have two copies of this book and I absolutely LOVE it!
I Like You by Amy Sedaris
Want a little detail?
here is a description from Hachette Book Group:
Are you lacking direction in how to whip up a swanky soiree for lumberjacks? A dinner party for white-collar workers? A festive gathering for the grieving? Don't despair. Take a cue from entertaining expert Amy Sedaris and host an unforgettable fete that will have your guests raving. No matter the style or size of the gathering-from the straightforward to the bizarre-I LIKE YOU provides jackpot recipes and solid advice laced with Amy's blisteringly funny take on entertaining. You don't even need to be a host or hostess to benefit-Amy offers tips for guests, too! (Number one: don't be fifteen minutes early.) Readers will discover unique dishes to serve alcoholics (Broiled Frozen Chicken Wings with Applesauce), the secret to a successful children's party (a half-hour time limit, games included), and much, much more!
This giveaway will be running throughout the Book Giveaway Carnival from March 2 to March 8. It is open to bloggers and non bloggers alike. Due to shipping costs, I do have to restrict this to US or Canada entrants. I do have to ask that you post your email address in your comment form so I can contact you if you win. Comments without emails will not be in the drawing. Feel free to spell out your email like so many of us do (ex: yourname(at)emailserver(dot)com. The winner will be drawn on March 8 at 11:59pm.
There are a lot of book giveaways going on out there so here are two quick ways to enter. I know you will be busy!
Main Entry - Very simple...why would you like to win this book? Don't forget your email address. :)
Second Entry - Amy is a very, very funny lady. She is one of my faves. Who is one of your favorite comediennes?
That is it. No need to follow me unless you want to. I would hate to have a follower for a few days only to lose them. :) But if you want to follow...really want to...rock on, baby! ;)
I will email the winner and post the winner on March 9. The winner will have FIVE days to respond to my email with their mailing address or I will move on to another winner. Please also leave a comment on the announcement post that you emailed me your details. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy this fabulous Book Giveaway Carnival as much as I will!

1 – 200 of 223 Newer› Newest»I'd very much like to win this. I've read two of David Sedaris' books in the past few months. I'm really hoping to like Amy as well.
As far as a favorite... not sure.
Please accept my entry.
I'd love to win! I've heard so many great things about Amy Sedaris (and David, too) but haven't ever had the chance to pick up one of her books. Her interviews are hilarious, though!
My favorite comedienne would have to be Ellen DeGeneres -- can't mess with a classic. :)
Thanks for the chance!
Megan -- writing.meg [at] gmail.com
I'd love to read this! allison DOT campbell AT gmail DOT com. Thank you!
I've always enjoyed David Sedaris. This book looks like a winner as well. And I could always use some help with hospitality.
ruthann (dot) francis (at) gmail (dot) com
For favorite comedienne, I like Paula Poundstone. Mostly I've heard her on NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me", but she's one of my favorite panelists on that show.
ruthann (dot) francis (at) gmail (dot) com
lastnerve2000@gmail.com
I would totally love to win this book, I LOVE HER! She is so incredibly funny!
I think one of my favorite comdedians is Wanday Sykes! OMG, I could listen to that lady for days with my sides hurting from laughing so much
This book looks really funny, plus I liked Amy on the few episodes of Strangers with Candy I saw. My favorite commedianne is Tina Fey.
I have read great reviews about this book and it sounds like it goes back to my era, nothing like a little nostalgia. Favorite comedienne, honest Roseanne is still funny!

I don't know alot of female comedian's so i'm gonna go with the woman on Seinfeld I've just drawn a serious blank on the name but she's got her on show now, and she's really funny.
photoquest(at)bellsouth(dot)net

Thanks!
Belladonna1975(at)pobox(dot)com

Belladonna1975(at)pobox(dot)com
i would love to read this because it looks like a light entertaining read thanks for the giveaway
I would like to win this book because I'm looking to expand my reading as to more authors. This just sounds like a good read too. :)
My favorite comedian would have to be Chonda Pierce. She's a christian comedian so she keeps it clean! :)
She is so funny. She was in elf, and on martha stewart, and about 50 other different things. I lOVE amy sedaris!
This sounds like an awesome book. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
As far as favourite comediennes go, I think I'll have to join all the Tina Fey fans. Unless I'm allowed to choose a random funny woman? If so, I'd say Jaime Pressly. She always cracks me up.

I honestly don't have a favorite comedienne. Most of todays comics are curde and throw out naughty words like they were free at target. If I had to pick i would say. Margret cho.
I'd love to win this because Amy cracks me up! The times I've seen her on tv or read articles by her I was laughing hysterically. utgal2004[at]yahoo[dot]com
One of my favorite comedians is Jon Stewart. utgal2004[at]yahoo[dot]com
I want to win this because I hate to cook and Amy is a riot and makes it fun so I can stand to try some things! Favorite would be Lucille Ball from my youth but now I think I like Whoopie!
kdhaney AT "gee" mail dot com
I would like to win this book, because I love to read recipes.

I need a funny read & my favorite comedienne would have to be my sister Heather Rushworth. She hasn't made it big yet, but she's young and she will. She appears at Second City in LA, if anyone's around.
Thanks!
Sararush (at) hotmail (dot) com
My hostess ideas feel stale and boring, would love some new ideas.
My favorite is Joan Rivers, although she is funny, what I really like are the memories of watching her host the Tonight Show with my mother all those years ago.

I never throw parties or have people over, I have lots of space, and love to cook, but it scares me. Maybe if I had this book and could laugh at some of the things that make it hard, I could change...just maybe. 1prizewinner(at)gmail(dot)com
Being a hostess is stressful for many which just increases the disaster potential. Adding some humor to the situation couldn't hurt. I would love to read this book.

I would have to say that one of my all time favorite comedians is Ellen DeGeneres. She makes me laugh every time she opens her mouth. Another thing that I love is she doesn't make you laugh at the expanse of others.

Sarah Silverman is pretty funny! I love her sense of humor.
Amy Sedaris is supposed to be hilarious, so I'd love to read one of her books.
In general, I'd say Sarah Silverman is my fave comedienne.

My favorite comedienne would probably be the late, great George Carlin!
First entry - because anyone who can create Gerri Blank can write a book I'd want to read.
Second entry: I love classic Margaret Cho but she's losing her focus and getting too angry and self-indulgent.
So I'll go with Kathy Griffin.
I'd like to read this because I love Amy Sedaris
