Trisha Slay | Cathy C. Hall Writes

When I come across books like Frances Caballo’s Avoid Social Media Time Suck, I want to give a copy to every single person who commented. It’s the kind of book that you’ll go to time and time again…well, that’s what a reference book is, right?

And then when I read Trisha Slay’s review of the book–and Trisha actually has a (very delightful) novel called Not So Long Ago, Not So Far Away–and how she’s found the book so useful, I just really, really wished I could send you all a copy of the book.

Alas, there can be only one winner of this copy. But you can still be a winner, managing your time. Get Avoid Social Media Time Suck–and take the time to read it.

(Well, dang. That was the perfect ending to a lovely blog post. Except I forgot to name the winner. It’s LISA! I don’t know how many times Lisa has tried to win a book here–and not won. So don’t be jealous; just get your own book. See? Now everybody’s happy.)

I used my friendly, internet-neighborhood random generator to pick a name from those who commented on Trisha Slay’s novel, Not So Long Ago, Not So Far Away.

And though some of you clearly understand the whole Han Solo thing more than others, the generator was apparently immune to those charms and spat out…

Linda O’Connell!

Good news: Linda will probably loan Not So Long Ago, Not So Far Away to friends who are, in fact, not so far away.

Bad news: The rest of you are too far away for a loaner.

Good news: The book is available at your favorite bookseller!Thanks to all who stopped by to comment, and it goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway), “May the Force (of good writing and reading) be with you.”
