One of my favorite reads from last year, Michelle Richmond's NO ONE YOU KNOW, is coming out in paperback on May 19th. To celebrate, Michelle is offering a signed paperback copy to one of my readers!
I reviewed this last July and you can read my review here.
Or here's the summary:
All her life Ellie Enderlin had been known as Lila’s sister. Until one day, without warning, the shape of their family changed forever. Twenty years ago, Lila, a top math student at Stanford, was murdered in a crime that was never solved. In the aftermath of her sister’s death, Ellie entrusted her most intimate feelings to a man who turned the story into a bestselling true crime book—a book that both devastated her family and identified one of Lila’s professors as the killer.
Decades later, Ellie is given a notebook that Lila carried everywhere, a piece of evidence not found with her body. She explores the mysteries of Lila’s notebook, filled with mathematical equations, and begin a search that has been waiting for her all these years. It will lead her to a hundred-year-old mathematical puzzle, to a lover no one knew Lila had, to the motives and fate of the man who profited from their family’s anguish—and to the deepest secrets even sisters keep from each other. As she connects with people whose lives unknowingly swirled around her own, Ellie will confront a series of startling revelations—from the eloquent truths of numbers to confessions of love, pain and loss.
A novel about the stories and lies that strangers, lovers and families tell—and the secrets we keep even from ourselves—Michelle Richmond’s new novel is a work of astonishing depth and beauty, at once heartbreaking, provocative, and impossible to put down.
All you have to do to enter is answer one of the following questions in the comments by May 19th at 11:59 PM CST:
1. Ellie, the narrator of NO ONE YOU KNOW, is a coffee buyer, and the author happens to be a coffee addict. What's one thing you couldn't give up?
OR
2. NO ONE YOU KNOW is a novel about sisters, but it's also about storytelling. What's one story that you and a sibling or parent remember very differently?
For a second entry (leave a separate comment) link to this contest on your blog (sidebar is ok) or a social networking site and tell me you've done so.
This contest is for the US and Canada only.

Those are two great questions! One thing I could never give up is reading! I couldn't answer the second question because my sister and I don't remember much of anything the same way. milou2ster(at)gmail.com
I could never give up my friends. Or, if that's too deep of an answer, I could never give up cookies&cream smidgens from GH.
I could never give up music!

Sounds like a good book! You have an award! come check out my blog!

Good luck everyone!
I couldn't give up books. No way, no how. Of course, you probably already knew that!

I don't think I can give up my lappy WITH internet connection. It makes me stay connecxted to everyone everytime!
I thought I would take choice 2 - Our family's house burnt down when I was 7 (sisters were 11 and 14) and of course we all remember where we were and why we were there differently. What they say caused it - when we all actually found out, etc. It is kind of fun to see what actually "sticks" in each of our minds.

Chocolate, for sure is one thing I can't give up. Same with reading.

I wouldn't give up my Starbucks lattes and Riccola mints
kimspam66(at)yahoo(dot)com
It's a toss up between the internet and taking an afternoon nap. When my computer crashed for a month it was interesting as I saw how really addicted I was to it. Count me in for a chance at this book. It really looks great!

I have to say, I don't think I could give up coffee. I figure there are worse things I could be addicted to!
I would not give up my son's text messages.
There was an incident with dogs that frightened me to death. I wasn't laughing. Others were. The story is remembered differently.
(thank you for your earlier comment on my just letting it be itself for now hair)
I honestly could not give up chocolate/caffeine/and books!! I have this book in my pile to read but if I won an autographed copy that would be wayyyyy coooool!!!
One thing I could not give up would be my dogs. I love them and they make me happy. Please include me in your giveaway.
Thanks

one thing I wouldn't be able to give up would be music, I am honestly addicted to it. :) I LOVE IT!
hmm..then there's books... hehe
I could never give up dark chocolate. My parents and I remember basically every time that I got in big trouble very differently. I remember my position as the victim while my parents remember me as reckless and irresponsible. Haha, I guess it depends who you ask.

If anyone asked what I couldn't do without I would think my computer but in reality, it's books. I've read all my life and can't imagine not.
I can't give up bingo..I love going and have been since I was a teenager. I go with my mother and it is "our" time

Thanks for the giveaway >^..^<
Even though I'm allergic I couldn't give up owning cats - I've had anywhere from 1-3 ever since I was 5, and they are well worth the constantly stuffed nose!
It looks like a neat book. I'd have a really hard time giving up chocolate. A cliche, I know. But true!
I am a coffee addict as well. There is no way I can give it up. Thanks for the giveaway!
I couldn't give up my children! LOL! Ok, that wasn't exactly what the question was looking for. I couldn't give up reading or the Internet.

My sister and I remember a lot of situations differently!
One in particular is the time she spit in my mouth! I was so mad I held her down and spit right back in her mouth. She, to this day, doesn't think she spit in my mouth and is disgusted about being spit on. I say oh well! Blech. She was younger than me. :)
