+ 4 if you are already a blog follower
+ 2 for blogging about the giveaway (leave a link)

The winners will be selected using Random.org, so the more entries you have the better chance you have of winning.
Winners will be selected on December 25th and will be notified by email before their names are posted here.

Hi Simcha, of course I am in! I am participating for Ninni Holmqvsit's book.
I am already a follower of your blog, I am also following you now on Twitter and I live in Israel. Israel's national food? Falafel...I don't know what else to say, I have no idea what other don't know about Israel. The big stories are always in the news.I can send you a photocopy of my teudat zehut, if you want...
Nad as soon as I blog about your giveaway, I'll post a link , too. Now I have to get Maya from the kindergarten...
I would want An Acceptable Time by Madeline L'Engle. I have read some of the series, but I don't think I ever got to that one.
Great giveaway! :)

Hi hi! If I were to win your contest, I would love God Bless You Mr. Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut. It's a wonderful book that I'd love to own.... So, ok... I subscribed to your blog, followed you on Twitter, but I moved away...
I lived in Jerusalem for years and years, but sadly I'm in upstate NY now. What can I say about Israel? It's the best place in the world... I used to love the view of the Knesset from the mirpesset of my Nachlaot apartment on rehov Ousha...
I would choose Sideways Arithmetic From Wayside School. Looks like a fun math book for my son! Thanks!

hello :)
nice contest! if I won, I'd choose Robin McKinley's "The Blue Sword". an exceptionally wonderful book.
I definitely live in Israel, and therefore I know that almost everything shuts down here for Shabbat. (that's the most obvious thing, I guess, though if it's not enough, I can tell you that Pardes-Chana is a few km east of Caesaria, which is a bit more than a half hour north of Tel-Aviv :)).
+2 cause following on Twitter
+3 cause following blog
+5 cause live in Israel :)

Thanks for participating everyone, and I'm really enjoying seeing the different books that each of you are interested in receiving.
Alessandra, no, you don't have to choose now.
I just want to remind you that the contest is for the books on my website or any other books that I specifically mention. With that said, since so many of you seem interested in The Maze Runner, and this is a book I've been wanting to read as well, I'll be adding this book the books in the drawing.

Hello, Simcha.
A little late to ask, but is the giveaway still on?
If so, I'd like to enter for Altered Carbon, maybe. (Or whatever you think is good SF, you're the expert.)
BTW, if so, I have +2 (at least) for already being a Twitter follower of yours: http://twitter.com/ItaiTzur
Awaiting your reply,
Itai
I'm sorry Itai, but this contest has ended already. I've just been waiting to announce the winners until I heard back from all of them (I email them before putting up their names). But I'm going to start a monthly giveaway soon, so keep an eye out for that.
Thanks for visiting!
Will do! :-)
