<p>Now, you get to see what&#8217;s going on with this novel penned by Helen Simonson. <a href="http://numberonenovels.blogspot.com/2010/03/helen-simonson-major-pettigrews-last.html">It&#8217;s this week&#8217;s feature at Number One Novels!</a></p>
<p>The contest to win a copy is only open to the US, but if this many people are buzzing about this book, those of you who can&#8217;t enter (or who, like me, are drowning in their TBR stacks) ought to feel free to head over and read about it. This is what wish lists are for, after all! </p>

<p>Man, it&#8217;s too early in the morning to crack myself up like this &#8230; </p>
<p>So I&#8217;ll get right to it. Bibliofreak&#8217;s got this to say: </p>
<blockquote><p>One lucky person, with a U.S. or Canada address, will win a new copy of the book!</p>
<p>But wait, there’s more!</p>
<p>I also have a galley of the book, that I’m going to give away in an INTERNATIONAL give away!  Yay!</p></blockquote>
<p>To make this work, you MUST tell Bibliofreak what country you&#8217;re currently living in. Otherwise, you mess up the system &#8230; and your entry will be trashed. </p>
<p>You&#8217;re not Oscar the Grouch. Don&#8217;t let yourself be tossed in a garbage can. </p>
<p>Bonus entries are around, so take advantage. Enter by March 15.</p>
