Page-Burner: A Semi-Regular Guessing Game
October 7, 2008

Yes, folks, it's time again for that seat-of-your-pants contest, Page-Burner! Regular contestants know that I can be a bit (OK, a lot) slow sending out the prizes, but I do send them out...so let the guesses begin! The first correct guess wins a grab-bag of five new and unread hardcovers; I'll post later today to let the winner know that he or she needs to send me an email with his or her snailmail addy.

Which book is currently keeping me up too late? Is it:

-- Annette Gordon-Reed's The Hemingses of Monticello, an incredibly readable history ?

OR

-- Allison Winn Scotch's Time of My Life, released today and already optioned by The Weinstein Company?

OR

-- Dennis Lehane's The Given Day, the first historical novel from this master of suspense?

I look forward to your responses -- and I promise to get better about sending packages our promptly.

I'm going with The Hemingses of Monticello! Although I loved The Time of My Life and reviewed it on my blog!

Ok, I'll go with the Lehane - I'm a sucker for historical novels :-)

Suspense, thriller, and history rolled into one! The Given Day. That's my pick
