Weekly Book Giveaway: The Living, by Matt de la Pena

This week's Book Giveaway pick is Matt de la Pena's The Living, which looks, uh, intense. There's a glowing quote on the front from James Dashner (not really a recommendation, to my mind), but NPR describes the book as "...at once a disaster epic, a survival story and a coming of age novel, told through the life of a young man who is becoming aware of class, prejudice and romance", and I respect that level of literary ambition. I'll post my review later today.

As always, this contest runs Monday through Friday. To enter, just send us an e-mail connected to a valid address. Complete rules and regulations can be found here.

NOTE: We think we've fixed the problems with the email page, but if your message is marked un-deliverable, you can send us an email directly using the address "info [at symbol] wordcandy [dot] net" (minus all those spaces, of course). Sorry for the ongoing confusion!
