The Deathday Letter

Shaun David Hutchinson's debut novel The Deathday Letter releases June 15. One way or another, I'm reading it, even if I don't win the SDH sponsored contest to win a free signed copy. This got me thinking of what I'd be willing to do for a free book. Here's what I came up with:

1. Jump in a pool with nice clothes on.

2. Eat a worm. Okay, two worms.

3. Stick my hand in a freaky hollowed-out log where a large spider is rumored to live.

4. Lick the bottom of a shoe. (I've done this)

5.  Eat an uncooked Habanero. (Check. When I was 16. Cried. Stood at the water fountain outside Spanish class for 40 minutes.)

6. Run 3 miles. Walk 3 miles. Crawl across 3 football fields.

7. Jump rope for one hour. Backwards.

8. Eat a whole onion, followed by six cloves of garlic. (Altoid?)

9. Swim with sharks. Baby sharks. 


What would you do for a free book?

  3. Dude! This is an awesome list. I'm not sure I could lick the bottom of a shoe though. You are a champ!

  4. I'm glad that one guy was paying attention...I'm a little neurotic about that kind of stuff...always want to face the door/window, etc.

    I have BOXES full of free books. YOu wouldn't believe it.
