I’m really excited to announce my next book giveaway! The lovely Jane Green was kind enough to offer you all not one but two copies of her books to giveaway! I have one hardcover version of Dune Road [review] and one paperback version of The Beach House [review]. Both of these books are autographed! There will be one winner for each book.
Because I am going to be in Oxford for the month of July, this contest will run through June 28 at 5:00 PM ET. I will announce the winners on June 29. I’ll be leaving for Oxford on June 30, so if you are lucky enough to be a winner, you have to get your address to me by the early afternoon of June 29 or you will have to wait a very long month before I’ll be able to send your book! U.S. only please!
To enter: Leave a comment on this post telling me about one beach read you want to tackle this summer, besides one of these two books I’m giving away! Additionally, if you would only like to be entered for one of these books, please specify that as well in your comment.
Additional entries:
(1) Blog about this contest and link back here. Make sure to leave the link to the post in a comment.
(2) Tweet about this contest with a link to this post. Make sure you include me in the tweet (@skrishna) so I know you did this, and leave a comment here telling me you did so.
Good luck!

Hmm just one beach read? I'm going to go with a Meg Cabot book because I want to start reading her and I've gotten The Boy Next Door to start me off.
I was just saying how I have to get my hands on DUNE ROAD! Please count me in just for DUNE ROAD.
I'd love to read this book at the beach, but another one I'm looking forward to is RUDE AWAKENINGS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT.
I retweeted your contest...does that count?
I tweeted too!

I would love to read 'The Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri this summer. I read the reviews and just cant wait to get my hands on it. What's more perfect than a story which has an empowering soul. It is a light story for this hot summer. I am sure I will enjoy it. Apart from that I would also love to read the Beach House. It is already warming up here in Bay Area,CA so only a book can give you that relaxation.
I(@ManasaBattula) retweeted your message and posted the link in my blog too

Sweetwater by Roxana Robinson. I have been meaning to read her books for a while now, but with the stack I have, it seems like a impossible task. So hopefully, I'll take a week and read it.
I'm looking forward to finishing the Sookie Stackhouse series.

Of course I want to enter this one Swapna. lol. My beach read for this summer will be Beach Trip and Castaways. Looking forward to reading both.
I probably won't be at the beach this summer and if I was I'd be watching my not-yet-swimming child like a hawk instead of reading, alas.
I've got the newest Tess Gerritsen on my nightstand and Edgar Sawtelle on the shelf. . .
I'd love to win Dune Road! (I already have The Beach House -- read it last summer!)
Have a great time in Oxford! No real need to enter me, much as I like Jane Green. I'm dropping in mostly to say thanks for the e-mail. I've got this posted at Win a Book.
I'm going to say Castaways -- seems like a good one for the summer. I'd love to win either. Thanks.
Hope Oxford is fantastic!!!!!!

The 19th Wife is up on my beach must-read list!
I plan on reading "The Godmother" by Carolyn Turdgeon. It tells the story of Cinderella through the eyes of the godmother. Its sort of reminiscent of Gregory Mcguire's Wicked.
I'd love to win Dune Road as I've read The Beach House (and loved it).~Kohinoor
P.S. my email is kchoudhu22 (at) gmail (dot) com
I have a hard time knowing what classifies as a beach read, but I have The Actor and the Housewife waiting on my to-read stack, and I think it will be a perfect poolside read.

Just got back from the beach this morning! :) I took Sarah Dessen's Along For The Ride and Megan McCafferty's Fourth Comings with me. I didn't finish either of them, but made a dent in both!
I would be thrilled to win either book! I was thinking about The Beach House as I was at my own :) Thank you!
I would have to say...Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner which has yet to come out...looks like a good one! Thanks for the great giveaway!
