The holidays are upon us!
You need presents!!!
And you’re so frazzled you can’t stop using exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand.
But please calm down. I have the solution:
You need a personalized copy of the picture book that sweeping the nation, Everybody’s Favorite Book!
Woo!
It’s a book with everything for everybody—so it is the absolutely, positively perfect holiday gift for any man, woman, child, animal, vegetable, or mineral.
And Now You Can Win a FREE Copy!
I’ll be holding a random drawing for a winner. But you gotta be in it to win it.
How To Enter
To get your name entered in the random drawing, all you need to do is leave a comment below telling me the title of your favorite book.
That’s it! That’s all!
(By the way, the favorite book you mention in the comments will soon be your second favorite book. Because once your read Everybody’s Favorite Book, it will be your new favorite book. Because Everybody’s Favorite Book is everybody’s favorite book. It says it right there in the title. That’s just common sense.)
How To Increase Your Chances of Winning
Want me to stuff the ballot box in your favor? That’s cool.
Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll give you an extra ballot every time you repost this contest online. For example, if you promote this contest on your blog, I’ll give you an extra ballot. If you post it on Facebook, I’ll give you an extra ballot. If you post it Twitter, I’ll give you an extra ballot. See what I mean?

Oh, and if you review any of my Prince Not-So Charming books on Amazon or Goodreads, I’ll give you yet another ballot! (Make sure you read the books before reviewing them.)
So, yeah, I’m offering up lots of ways to get you lots of votes.

I’ll be holding the random drawing one week from today:
Tuesday, December 11 December 18!
So what are you waiting for?
Hey, Look! A Writer Fellow! 
I’m in! I’ve tweeted the contest, and already bought a few of your wild and wacky “Favorite” books for my vast amount of grandsons. I could use another, so hope I win! :–) My favorite book of all time? I’ve got to say my own children’s picture book – BIRDS OF PARADISE – but then yours is second place. xo
Running second place to you is an honor!
❤
I already BOUGHT IT!!
And I thank you. But you can get another for a loved one—or to donate to a local school or public library! You could be a hero!
I already wear that cape……..ta DA!!
I have a bunch of books I should take down to my Wina at the library. She’s a Wina too!!
Tell Wina I said “Hiya!”
I will take the books with me when I tell her.
And I LOVED the Prince not so charming books!! Especially the little notes inside the front cover. You realize my g’kids can’t have those books now….? I don’t know how many ‘beans’ I want to spill here and ruin it for the others who have not yet *GASP!!* read them……
I guess you gotta buy some more!
I’m gonna get the whole series before I ship ’em to you………………….lol
My favorite picture book (other than yours, of course:) is “Thunder Cake,” by Patricia Polacco.
I don’t know that one… And off to the library I go!
Let me know what you think!
My favorite book is The Velveteen Rabbit. TOTALLY sentimental, and kids aren’t supposed to love that but I fell in love with this book in the second grade. (other than with my mom, I guess this is my longest love affair!)
That one always got me misty.
Aaaand you’re in the raffle! (If you decide to plug the contest of social media, by the way, let me know so I can add the correct number of ballots to the Hat of Selectivity.
My favorite, soon to be second favorite book is Anam Cara, Mike. And twittering to my little heart’s content. 🙂
Celtic, eh? Cool. And you get two ballots into the hat!
Yay!
You’re asking a librarian/English teacher to name her favorite book?!? That’s like asking me to pick which of my kids is my favorite!!!
You’re not fooling anyone. You have a favorite kid AND you have a favorite book. So spill it! (The book, not the kid; the kid thing is your business.)
Anxiety attack….
I will promote your contest. Are you a Costco member? If so, send it to Penny who reviews books. That should a couple of million readers noticing your book.
I don’t go to Costco (we’re a BJ’s household), but my mom does. Does that count?
Mom’s have persuasive powers.
Favorite book=Wish I Was Here
Ooh. Never read that one.
Aaaaand your name goes into the hat! Don’t forget to plug the contest on social media to get more ballots!
The Tall Book of Make-Believe. It actually has some scary illustrations. Maybe that’s why I like it? Spent hours looking at it when I was a kid.
A classic!
P.S. I did leave reviews on Amazon about Prince Not So Charming. Do I seem to be begging to get as many ballots as I can? Why, yes! That’s exactly what I’m doing!!!
I remember, but for some reason Amazon removed them!
What? That’s super odd!
I know. Feel free to yell at them.
Count me in. If I win it’ll go to our local library … favourite book … hmm … I can only pick one, right? … hmm … OK, I’m doing a re-read of the Hobbit and LotR, so, The Hobbit! 😀
I never could get into The Hobbit for whatever reason.
But that’s neither here nor there. Your name goes in the hat!
“Wuthering Heights.” Which I believe will come as a shock to no one.
I’m not shocked, but I didn’t know that, either!
And you’re in the raffle!
Tweeted the contest. I have too many favorites. Picture book — The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco.
I’ve heard of The Keeping Quilt, but never read it. Considering your good taste, I guess it will behoove me to give it a go.
Hey, Mike! So sweet to extend contest; you’re right . . . getting all wrapped up in the holidays and not taking time for the important stuff that feeds the soul. My second-favorite children’s book — and that’s a tough one for an editor to call — would be The Giving Tree.
And your name goes in the hat, Amy! Thanks for entering!
Ah – those of us who are risk-averse simply planned on buying the book anyway! But since you generously extended the deadline, I’m in! Can donate a second copy to a worthy teacher or librarian of course! My SECOND favorite book is CRICTOR. 🙂
I love Crictor. I’m a huge Tomi Ungerer fan. (There was a very interesting documentary about him on Netflix. Not sure if it’s still there.)
You can win a book AND buy it, too!
I don’t know CRICTOR, but you have good taste in lit, so I’ll have to pick it up.
I’m not sure how I missed this post. My favorite book is Watchers by Dean Koontz (although I love your books too). I am going to put this on my FB page right now. I’d love to donate a copy to our local library. 🙂
Wonderful! And you get two ballots!
I didn’t enter because I already have the book. Didn’t want to take a chance away from a potential lucky winner. p.s. The book is adorable.
Aw. Thank you, my friend!
I bought a copy for my kids for Christmas, but my kids have lots of friends, so we’ll enter for a chance to win another one! (It’s a truly wonderful book, by the way). I reposted on Facebook. Hope your response this time is awesome!
I will have to say my favorite book of all time is A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.
I like John Irving. You have good taste in literature, EK!
My favourite book is called “Trinity” written by Leon Uris. Not a kid’s book, I know. I’ve purchased two of your books for Christmas presents so I think this would be the perfect way for me to win one for myself. I know I have no kids but hey it is “Everyone’s” Favourite Book. I shall tweet all about this now.
There ya go! (And I didn’t specify a favorite children’s book, just a favorite book, so you’re in!) But please note that since this is an American book, you’ll need to add the “U” to the “Favorite”.
Not a problem. I’m quite use to it and consider myself u-bedextrouse.
