Happy ho, ho! Yes, it’s Black Friday, the day when your favorite retailers actually make it into the credit column and out of the red. I know you’ll want to take a brief break from shopping–you’re probably seeing this through your phone–so here’s a quick thing you can do that will reap you oodles of rewards: sign up for Ana’s Advent Calendar 2013. You might have read my pre-sign-up post here, but just to reiterate, this is a great opportunity to play along and win all kinds of great prizes (including great non-book prizes) from authors and publishers participating in the event. Literally, more than 100 prizes, and you don’t have to bounce around and leave meaningless comments. All you have to do is sign up (link below) and go to governingana.wordpress.com every day from December 1 through December 25 to answer a simple question. That’s all. Couldn’t be easier. The more days you visit, the better your chances to win. Here’s a FAQ in case you have questions.

I’m giving away two books during this event, and would love to give them to you! Sign up today or any day through December 24 and participate. You could win!
