Book Contest
One Winner Selected Each Month!

We have thought and thought and talked and talked (and argued too!) about the best way to run a fair book contest on our site. One night recently, Queenie D was reading a quick survey from a friend on FaceBook and was thrown into a complete tizzy over one simple question - "what is your favorite book?"

That one question, so unassuming and innocent, can foster the greatest book club discussions known to readers. What you say now might not be the same answer you give in ten years from now, maybe even in a month from now. We decided that the true million dollar question for all book lovers really is "what is your favorite book?"

So this got Queenie D thinking. What kind of contest can reward one of our valuable visitors with a wonderful book club read each month?

Furthermore, what kind of contest can also allow those same visitors to leave a lasting impression of themselves at Book Club Queen?

The answer suddenly became simple - ask the million dollar question to all our visitors and randomly choose a winner from the contributors each month!

Below you will find the form you must fill out in order to participate in our monthly book contest. Please complete it exactly as it appears to be sure your entry is correctly submitted.

You'll be asked to include your email. This will simply be so that if you are a winner you can be notified. If you just wish to answer the million dollar question but do not want to put your name in the pool of visitors to be selected from each month, feel free to do so. We'd still love to hear your response!

If you have questions or concerns, please contact us via the feedback form.
