So, we have reached the end of June. Actually, the beginning of July. That means your chance to win a copy of Summer Reading Is Killing Me! by Jon Scieszka has passed- and we have a winner!

Everybody, keep reading! And find a child to read with some time this summer, too!

Contest: Win a Werewolf!

Okay, not an actual werewolf. But in honor of Werewolf Month, HalloweenCostumes.com has offered to give away two Full Moon Werewolf Costumes, which include a shirt with attached fur and a Motion Mask- the mouth and lips move when you do, from their collection of werewolf costumes. Here’s the costume description:

Howl at the moon all night long in this full moon werewolf costume! The scary costume includes a full, realistic werewolf mask. The mask is covered in faux grey fur and is made from polyester. It has a plastic interior while the exterior is covered in a rubber foam like material. The mask’s jaw moves when you move your mouth. If the mask is too large, foam blocks are included to enclose the gaps and create movement. An adjustable velcro strap on the interior secures the mask in place and slits for the eyes provide unrestricted vision. The white, black and green flannel shirt is made from polyester and has shredded edges for a worn appearance. Padding fills the shoulders for a full look and fur emerges from the chest, torso and sleeves to complete your transformation. Bring this full-moon legend to life in this great costume!

Words don’t do it justice though- even if you aren’t interested in owning a werewolf costume, you should still go watch the video– it mesmerized my five year old.

So… The contest. Tell us what your favorite werewolf moment is, in fiction, television, movies, or video games. Post below and I’ll pick winners randomly at the end of July.

Oh, I should add that this contest is open only to US residents, and, of course, that we are not being compensated in any way for holding it. We just like werewolves.

Summer Reading Giveaway: Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz

Witches of East End actually IS a summer beach read. It takes place in the summer, and parts of it involve a beach. Crucial events of the book take place over the Fourth of July weekend, which is now just around the corner. If you are visiting family over the Fourth of July, and read this book before you go, while you’re there, or really any time after you leave, I’m pretty sure you’ll appreciate your own family more (although obviously there are exceptions). For your reading pleasure, we have a beautiful hardcover copy of Melissa de la Cruz’s first novel for adults, The Witches of East End.

What are you doing over the Fourth of July weekend? Post here and I’ll randomly pick a winner on July 6.
