Weekend Book Give-Away: Wither

This week's awesome book give-away is an advance readers copy of Wither by Lauren DeStefano, which I just finished listening to on audiobook, and really enjoyed!

After modern science turns every human into a genetic time bomb with men dying at age twenty-five and women dying at age twenty, girls are kidnapped and married off in order to repopulate the world.



It is the first in The Chemical Garden Trilogy, and has 41 people waiting for it right now (unless you want the cd...which miraculously has no line a this moment...). I found it riveting and terrifying and surprisingly tender, too.

To win this book, tell me what your favorite way to amuse yourself is when you are trapped inside your house and are unable to interact with the outside world.

Winner will be announced Tuesday August 23, 2011. Please leave your initials in the post, so I can know who it is that has won if I pick your entry!

My favorite way to amuse myself when I am stuck in my house is to read! That way I can travel and meet other people even if I am just sitting on the couch.

My favorite way to amuse myself is to try and sing every song on the radio in that persons voice, trying to impersonate them. Its kinda fun actually. That or dancing around my house. Why not? No ones watching...i hope.

I amuse myself quite easily. i laugh at myself a lot. But, when alone after having grounded myself from Twitter, Blogspot, and Tumblr I like to read or write. Books can take you anyplace you want to go. You can travel to the familiar and to the unknown. The same goes for writting, depending on how much i want to amuse myself I can write myself again into the familiar or into a place i just made up. - FM

Reading of course! That or play piano. Books and music...that certainly describes me well.

Well, of course I entertain myself by reading! (Or sorting through my ever-growing pile of library books for something TO read), but, similar to ~Jordan Family, I usually take advantage of the fact that no one can hear me singing horridly off-key and belt out whatever comes up on the shuffle for my MP3 player as loud as possible, earning strange looks from the cats.

My favorite way to amuse myself when I'm home is to bake. My family has quite the sweet tooth so I know whatever I make will get eaten....if I don't eat if first :) I find it hard to bore myself...there are many things to do!

I amuse myself by practicing my juggling, throwing ten second dance parties, or playing my ukulele.
