Giveaway: Roses by Leila Meacham
Book Description:
Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber and cotton industries, industries controlled by the scions of the town's founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and now must deal with the deceit, secrets, and tragedies of their choice and the loss of what might have been--not just for themselves but for their children, and children's children. With expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling, Roses covers a hundred years, three generations of Texans and the explosive combination of passion for work and longing for love.

I love books, always have. Reading has never been a hobby, it is a part of my life. Yesterday, I was getting ready to send a contribution to LIFT which is the Texas Literacy Instruction Program. I was scanning amazon.com which linked me to you, and your contest, and I had an idea. Next time you run something like this, I could match the # of entrants up to an amount - maybe 50, maybe 100 depending on my budget that month. If Hatchette were willing to match that amount, we could donate it to a Literacy Program. What do you think, what would Hatchette think?? By the way I don't need a copy of Roses, I have one. Is this idea crazy, maybe? Let me know thanks
