Today's Giveaway (THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED)
Today I'm giving away two ARCs, each from a different genre. The first is Dreams of the Dead by Thomas Randall and the second is New Stories for the South 2009, edited my Madison Smartt Bell. To win these two ARCs, all you have to do is leave a comment here telling me (1) your email address and (2) a genre that you almost never read. If your comment is missing this information, I can't count your entry. This giveaway is open all week, and I'll pick a winner (via random.org) on Saturday, September 19 soon after I turn on my computer. There is still time to enter my giveaways from earlier in the week.

Hi Beth, I think I'm addicted to your blog. LOL!
I love the answers to those questions/meme. My goal would be to whittle down my TBR also. It's getting out of control. I also need to post more book reviews on my blog because I'm really slacking in that respect. I blame it on photography and outings! Haha!
It is nice to see your TBR!
I don't want to win either of those books, so I'll fail to comply with your requirements! I'm not sure why, but they both fail to grab me - have you read them?
I never read poetry though!
I'd like a chance to win the New Stories from the South--I love short stories, particularly Southern ones, and Madison Smartt Bell himself!
I rarely read from the romance genre.

A goal of reading through TBR piles...I have had that goal for years!! lol I rarely read mysteries or science fiction.

I really like the way you did the meme by including books from your TBR pile! I just read The Lacemakers of Glenmara and I was thinking about you as I read it, wondering if you had yet. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think when you get around to it! =)
Note that the winner of this giveaway gets both books!
I almost never read science fiction. Thanks for the giveaway chance!

I pretty much never read chick lit. I used to to, but now it all seems sort of fake and it annoys me.
So, enter me!

Combining the TBR shot with the meme was very creative! I do suspect, however, that there are more piles somewhere else in your house!
these two books look fab.
I've never read a crime thriller in my life.

I think reading through your TBR pile is a great goal. I've been saying I'll do that for years now. Maybe someday I actually will. :-)
I enjoyed reading your responses to the title meme. It's so fun to see what everyone comes up with.
