January 2009 Door Prize
The winner of December's drawing for a signed copy of Keith Donohue's The Stolen Child is Carol Mintz. Congratulations to you, Carol!
Our door prize for January 2009 is a copy of Maria Semple's new novel, This One is Mine.
Our door prize for January 2009 is a copy of Maria Semple's new novel, This One is Mine.From Powells.com: Violet Parry is living the quintessential life of luxury in the Hollywood Hills with David, her rock-and-roll manager husband, and her darling toddler, Dot. She has the perfect life--except that she's deeply unhappy. David expects the world of Violet but gives little of himself in return. When she meets Teddy, a roguish small-time bass player, Violet comes alive, and soon she's risking everything for the chance to find herself again. Also in the picture are David's hilariously high-strung sister, Sally, on the prowl for a successful husband, and Jeremy, the ESPN sportscaster savant who falls into her trap. For all their recklessness, Violet and Sally will discover that David and Jeremy have a few surprises of their own. THIS ONE IS MINE is a compassionate and wickedly funny satire about our need for more--and the often disastrous choices we make in the name of happiness.
To enter the drawing please e-mail your name, mailing address, and blog address (optional) to the Estella's Revenge editors at estellabooks (at) gmail (dot) com by January 31st. No worries, we won't share any of your information with others.

Summer Break!!!
Unfortunately Heather and Andi both find themselves slammed by life right now. That means we'll be postponing our June "Summer!" issue and combining it with July's "belief" issue. Just think of June as Estella's summer break.
We feel bad for our absence, and we really feel you all shouldn't suffer for it, so we're giving away a great book.

February 2008 "Door Prize" Book Giveaway
The winner of the January book, a brand new copy of Georgette Heyer's An Infamous Army is Janan from Riverwoods, Illinois! Congratulations, Janan!
February's book is The Outlander, by Gil Adamson.
Gil Adamson’s extraordinary novel opens in heart-pounding mid-flight and propels the reader through a gripping road-trip with a twist — the steely outlaw in this story is a grief-struck nineteen-year-old woman who has just become a widow by her own hand. Tracked by bloodhounds and two vengeful brothers, The Widow flees across the western wilderness, encountering characters of all stripes — unsavoury, wheedling, altruistic, greedy, lascivious, self-sufficient, and occasionally trustworthy. Adamson’s brilliant literary style illuminates the gripping tale of one young woman’s deliberate journey into the wild.
Gil Adamson's acclaimed short fiction and poetry have been widely published in magazines and literary journals. Her poetry books, Primitive (1991) and Ashland (2003), and her collection of stories, Help Me, Jacques Cousteau (1995), received rave reviews. THE OUTLANDER, ten years in the writing, is her first novel. She lives in Toronto.

September Door Prize Book Giveaway!
First, the winner of our August door prize, a copy of William Martin's The Lost Constitution, is Cory Williams of Hattiesburg, Mississippi! Congratulations, Cory!
The Door Prize for September is a brand-spankin-new copy of Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, by Gabrielle Zevin! Be sure to read Heather's interview with Ms. Zevin in this month's issue!
To enter, please e-mail your name and address to us at estellabooks (at) gmail (dot) com by the first of October.
About Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac:
If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn’t have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn’t have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn’t have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her “Chief.” She’d know about her mom’s new family. She’d know about her dad’s fiancée. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn’t have wanted to kiss him back. But Naomi picked heads.
After her remarkable debut, Gabrielle Zevin has crafted an imaginative second novel all about love and second chances.

August "Door Prize" and July Winner
I'm happy to announce that the winner of the July Estella's Revenge "Door Prize,"-- a hardcover copy of Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves' novel, InterWorld -- is....
Nicola Manning from Niagara Falls, Ontario!
Congratulations, Nicola, and thanks for entering.
Now, the next door prize, in honor of this month's "revival" theme:
William Martin's novel, The Lost Constitution!
From Publisher's Weekly:
A rare, annotated draft of the U.S. Constitution is at the heart of Martin's entertaining third novel to feature antiquarian book dealer Peter Fallon. As in Harvard Yard (2003), Martin tells two stories. The first chronicles the loss and recovery of the document at the time of the constitutional convention, where young Will Pike attends Massachusetts delegate Rufus King, and its passing through generations of the Pike family to the present. The second traces Fallon's search against deadly competition to find the draft. Throughout, Martin makes clear that people have always tried to use the Constitution for their own purposes, including right-wing Christian fanatics, survivalist gun nuts, liberal gun-banners and greedy entrepreneurs now seeking the lost draft. The Pike family motto: "In America, we get up in the morning, we go to work, and we solve our problems" serves as a unifying theme, and Martin also makes clear that the Constitution—drafts and all—was intended as a unifying agent.
