Are you tired of hearing about budget cuts, hiring freezes, impending layoffs and IOUs (Cali’s latest answer to the economic crisis)? Are you ready for some good news…no matter how small…just something positive and pleasant rather than more of the same ole, same ole?
If your answer is yes, APOOO welcomes you to the Out With the Old, In With the NewAfrican-American Literature FREE Book Giveaway. While supplies last, each day we will giveaway copies of pre-2009 books by and about African Americans. Giveaways will be limited to seven books per day, however, you can enter as often as you would like (while supplies last).
Additionally, we will also give away copies of a few 2009 releases. Everyone who enters the Out With the Old component of the promotion will be entered into the In With the New portion.
The Out With the Oldpromotion is open to everyone, however, the In With the New offer is only open to those who participate in the Out With the Old.
Books available for the OUT WITH THE OLD giveaway.

Nardsbaby´s last blog post..Nardsbaby gave 4 stars to: Divine Confidential (The Divine Series #2)
Hey Crystal…gotcha…and the reason I ask folks to do their email address that way is so that robot spammers can’t pick it up and start sending you junk mail…it’s hard to read an email address when it’s encoded.
Ohhhh. There’s some Tananarive Due in there. That’s the one I would like to win, if I’m that lucky. I really loved her short story “Like Daughter” and have even written several college papers on it.
Thanks for this cool giveaway, by the way. My favorite number is 6.
