WildmooBooks Turns Six! Celebrates with Edgar Nominees Giveaway

WildmooBooks turns six today!

How time flies. I still feel like such a newbie.

This is the first year I’ve made the connection that January 19th is also Edgar Allan Poe’s birthday (he was born in 1809) and also the day that the Mystery Writers of America announces its annual nominees for The Edgar Awards (named, if you didn’t know, after Edgar Allan Poe).

To celebrate these occasions and as a thank you to all who’ve connected with me here over the years, I thought it would be fun to offer a giveaway. 

Below is a list of nominees for five of the Edgar Award categories. The winner of this giveaway will get to choose one book from the list below, up to $25.

Price and availability to be established via bookdepository.com. At the time of this post going live there is only one title listed over $25 (Meanwhile There Are Letters: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and Ross Macdonald by Suzanne Marrs and Tom Nolan) and one that is not available (American Pain: How a Young Felon and his Ring of Doctors Unleashed America’s Deadliest Drug Epidemic by John Temple). Pricing and availability can change in a week.

Please enter below via Rafflecopter and leave a comment with which title(s) you’re most excited to see on this list and/or which you’d most like to read.
