James Madison: A Life Reconsidered (Giveaway)


I don't normally do this, but I'm going to make an exception in this case. Viking has just released a new biography on American President James Madison by Lynne Cheney that I am curious to read. They offered to send a copy my direction in order to facilitate a review and the copy is on its way. They also offered to give away a copy of this book to one of you in the next week.

Now, to be perfectly clear, I haven't read this book yet. Normally I never offer a review and/or a giveaway on a book I have not yet read for myself. However, in the case of James Madison: A Life Reconsidered, I'll make an exception because I like history, biography and non-fiction so whatever the contents of the book I have a feeling I'll find it curious and satisfying. I do plan on reading this and I'm taking the opportunity to host the giveaway for the benefit of one other person out there.

Would you like to be that person? Winning is easy, simply leave a comment below. This contest is open to U.S. Residents only and will be open through Wednesday,
June 11th.


THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. The winner, as selected by random.org, is #13 - Sarah! Congrats!

Happy Reading!

Many thanks to Viking and Penguin Groups for this offer.
