I discovered this awesome giveaway last fall over at Karen’s. I am so very excited to be able to participate this time in Buy A Friend A Book for no good reason!
What’s BAFAB, you ask?
BAFAB was started by Debra Hamel, fellow blogger, writer and book reviewer. Celebrating BAFAB is easy. Just get yourself to a real-life or virtual book store during Buy a Friend a Book Week (the first weeks of January, April, July, and October) and, well, buy a friend a book! But here’s the fun part: you can’t buy your friend a book because it’s their birthday or they just graduated or got engaged or had a baby or anything else. You have to give them a book for no good reason. In fact, this present out of the blue from you should shock the pants off of whomever you decide to give it to. And it’ll make them happy. And that’s the point: promote reading, promote friendships. Just make sure to let them know about Buy a Friend a Book Week, so they can spread the joy in turn.
For this round, I have chosen a book I’d like to give away! I’ve been a bit homesick for Alaska lately so I’d like to give everyone a chance to win Winterdance by Gary Paulsen.
Here’s a little blurb from Amazon.com:
Amazon.com Review
Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod–the 1150-mile winter sled-dog race between Anchorage and Nome– in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. Winterdance is his account of this seventeen-day battle against Nature’s worst elements and his own frailty.
Here are the rules:
Just drop me a comment on this sticky note and let me know you want to enter! If I draw your name on July 8th, you’ll win Winterdance. The winner will be announced here on Oregon Sunshine and via email. Contest closes at 11:59 pm on July 7th, Pacific Standard Time. Drawing to be held before 5 pm PST on July 8th.
*Note: The winner must be willing to give me a mailing address as the book will be shipped directly from Amazon.com. Contest is open to residents of the US and Canada.
Hey! That looks like a really cool book! I am totally going to send my friend a book… she adores Dolly Parton and I saw on CNN that Dolly just released another children’s book. I think my friend will LOVE it

Always great to send a friend a book! The librarian at my elementary school when I was little used to say, “Books are our friends”. He was talking about how we should treat and take care of books, but books really ARE our friends. I tell my kids that all the time.
So you finally guessed where I live!!!! Yea!!!!
I am definitely NE of the Lacey/Olympai area, right? LOL!!!
I just popped over to say that I finished my Honest Scrap.
I will go read it in a minute then! Yay!
I also just caught up over here, and am really excited to hear that Casey is coming along nicely. And an older Arab??? How nice. I hope it all works out for you.
Maybe! Just maybe! Also going to look at a 15hh older Arab mare. And am considering a AQHA yearling filly who needs a home (rescue case).
PS-Please enter me in the contest…..
Of Course!
Enter me in for the book. Even though I work at a library you can never have enough books.
That’s how we feel! Thought you might like this book anyways. Just a little piece of home!
I would love to be entered to win this book! I’m on my way to add your blog to my feed reader. I don’t know how I missed your blog, being a fellow Oregonian and all.
Welcome Alyce! I might be a bit boring for you since I usually write about horses and dogs and kids. But welcome anyways!
It’s been almost 3 yrs, but I am and will always be a misplaced Alaskan at heart.
