Books, Books, Books!

This Contest is Closed
Sadly this is my last entry (on this site) for the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival. *sniff, sniff* But it's a good one because I will have three, yes three, winners!
I've been so very lucky to have built a relationship with Hachette Book Group over the past couple months. They send me books to read, I do a review and (more often than not) give away the book. Reading is one of my greatest pleasures (one that I don't get to indulge in as much as I would like) and I love that I get to share amazing authors with all of you who stop by to read my thoughts. I'm humbled. Not only by the generosity shown to me by a company that I didn't know about until recently but also by the fact that so many of you continue to visit my little slice of the web.
Whew, ok, tissue break. I get so emotional sometimes...
A while back I gave away a book and asked for feedback on which books from Hachette's "most viewed" list you all would like to read. I got great response from that and the books requested were:
The Host (from the author of the Twilight series)
Outliers (the story of success)
Dewey the Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World (this one is special to me as it is a true Iowa story)
The bad news: Now, I've read none of these; I have no reviews to offer. But they all sound great.
The good news: I have one of each book to give away! To qualify visit the provided link for each book. Then, in the comments, tell me which book is your first choice, which is your second and which is your third. (I can't guarantee you will get your first choice.)
For an extra entry subscribe to Iowa Geek via email (you can do this near the top of the page in the right column) or add my button to your blog. Leave another comment telling me you did so.
For a third entry either blog or twitter this contest. Leave another comment with the blog link or your twitter id so I can confirm this entry.
US and Canadian entries only, please.
Only three entries per person, please. Make sure I can easily find an email to contact you; I will not search for one. Contest ends January 30 at 11:59pm. I will draw the winner Saturday, January 31. The winner will be contacted via email and will have 3 days to respond. If I do not hear back from the winner within that time another winner will be drawn.

In order my preference would be: Outliers, the Host, Dewey.
Thank you for this contest! I am an avid bookcrosser and would love to read and release these books!
Great giveaway! I'm dying to get my hands on "Outliers" -- I heard a talk that Malcolm Gladwell gave at a conference a couple years ago and really loved his first two books, "Blink" and "The Tipping Point." He writes about complex phenomena in a really accessible way, which is not easy to do.
So my first choice would be Outliers, then Dewey, and then The Host (not a Twilight fan really).
Thanks for the chance to win!
