The Leaning Stack of Books: Not a Baby Anymore!


The air is crisp, and there’s a patchwork of color on the trees. That means that there’s a special holiday coming up!

The Leaning Stack of Books is turning 1!

I’ve enjoyed spending this year with you in the blogosphere and am excited to see what blog toddlerhood brings. Thank you for being such loyal readers! In honor of this momentous occasion, I’d like to give one special reader a birthday gift. That’s right! The blog has a birthday, and YOU might get a gift. The gift will be a copy of the book that I’ve enjoyed the most over the past year – wrapped and delivered to you.

To join in the fun, please do one of the following between today and October 20:

Leave a comment on any blog post during this week that includes the title of the book you’ve enjoyed the most from October 2014 to October 2015. If you post anonymously, be sure to sign some identifiable name at the end.

Go to The Leaning Stack of Books Facebook Page and make a comment on this post that includes the title of the book you’ve enjoyed the most from October 2014 to October 2015.  Once you’ve done that, please share the post on your page, because I’d love for more people to join in on the fun.

Post on Twitter the title of the book you’ve enjoyed the most from October 2014 to October 2015. Add the hashtag #leaningstackofbooks and direct it toward me @jenpreisman

Please feel free to get your friends involved. The more the merrier! I’m still in the process of getting the word out about this blog, and I would really appreciate your help. If you know bookish people, send them this way.

Next Tuesday, October 20 – while eating cake – I’ll pick a name at random out of a birthday hat. I’ll announce the lucky duck, and then we’ll figure out how to get the package to you.

Ready? Set! Go!

It's so nice of you to give us a present :) My choice would be The Turner House, by Angela Flournoy.

Happy blogiversary from another Jennifer! My favorite book from the last year was Midnight in Siberia: A Train Journey into the Heart of Russia by David Greene. Really interesting non-fiction look at modern Russia.
