And so, to celebrate the almost-arrival of autumn, I&#8217;d like to give one of you a couple classics to read with your tea and pumpkin rolls this season. The lovely hardcover copies of\u00a0<i>Little Women <\/i>and <i>Emma <\/i>are good additions to any bookshelf, and <i>Little Bear<\/i>\u00a0is just the thing for your kiddos or nieces and nephews or for yourself when nobody&#8217;s looking.<\/p>\n<p>To enter this giveaway, simply comment on this post. Tell me about your day, or what you like about fall, or what your favorite book is, or whatever you feel led to say. All comments will qualify. And if you&#8217;d like an occasional peppy email from me, make sure the little email box is checked when you comment.<\/p>\n<p>The giveaway will run until Thursday night, the end of August. I&#8217;ll announce the winner Friday. Happy commenting!<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Just so you know, the books in my giveaways are gently used. I believe in loving and re-loving books until they&#8217;re in tatters. Aren&#8217;t those the best ones, after all?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: The giveaway is closed, and we have a winner!
