Midwinter's Eve Giveaway Hop: The Next Queen of Heaven

I am offering one gently used ARC of The Next Queen of Heaven by Gregory Maguire, you can see my review here. The copy is very gently used, as in I read it once and I am obsessive about my keeping my books perfect. The Next Queen of Heaven takes place during the Holiday season and was one of my recommended Christmas reads, so I thought it would be the perfect book to share so close to the actual day. However, I will only be able to ship this book early in the new year as I am visiting family as soon as this giveaway ends (sorry!). As I am paying shipping costs myself, this is a Canada/US only giveaway.
*Note the copy is an ARC and as such the cover is different

Summary of the book from Goodreads:
With the new millennium approaching, the eccentric town of Thebes grows even stranger. Mrs. Leontina Scales begins speaking in tongues after being clocked by a Catholic statuette. Her daughter, Tabitha, and her sons scheme to save their mother or surrender her to Jesus—whatever comes first. Meanwhile, choir director Jeremy Carr, caught between lust and ambition, fumbles his way toward Y2K. The ancient Sisters of the Sorrowful Mysteries join with a gay singing group. The Radical Radiants battle the Catholics. A Christmas pageant goes horribly awry. And a child is born.
Because I am paying shipping costs myself, I have decided that this time you must be a follower to enter this giveaway. To enter leave a comment letting me know something you are looking forward to in 2011- besides possibly getting this book in your mailbox! Make sure you include your e-mail address so I have a way to contact you. The winner will be randomly selected using random number.org and due to the busy time of year this giveaway is taking place you will have a week to reply to my winner announcement. This giveaway will close when the giveaway hop ends at 11:59 PM on December 22nd EST. 

Click here to visit the rest of the giveaways on this hop! I know I will.


THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. Congrats Heather!

    Since I recently finished Grad School - one of the things I'm most excited about is the graduation ceremony - not because of the ceremony (and I'll actually have my diploma before then) but having the chance to see some friends who've moved away.

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
