In honor of the holidays, Thanksgiving freshly in the books and the days of wrapping and unwrapping looming ominously on the horizon, I am happy to announce my very first Shanghailanders Holiday Giveaway! (OK, it will likely be my last.)
If you haven’t already read the book, I will tell you that it is the perfect fit for the holiday season. Apropos of the winter snow: a wealthy family hoarding secrets over multiple decades and tossing toxic fireballs of emotional blackmail back and forth like a hot potato, or a Thanksgiving football. Some would also call this book a love story, those who are as twisted and as cynical as the author. :) Perfect for the most beloved member of your dysfunctional family, or for your most beloved and dysfunctional self.
US addresses eligible. Here are the details:
30 hardback copies
30 paperback copies
Given I have about 10 followers, I’d say your chances at success are not slim. Hardbacks will go out to those with the most entries, and paperbacks next, down the line. Same-number entries will be prioritized based on entry time.
Each of the below actions will receive one entry, meaning that if you do more than one, you will receive multiple entries thereby increasing your chances at an already nearly guaranteed victory:
1. Follow this Substack or my Instagram juliinprogress, like the giveaway post, & comment “giveaway”
2. Share this post here or Instagram stories and tag both me and @pratyusha_on.insta (my assistant, who’ll be tracking entries)
3. In comments, tag any friends whom you think might like the giveaway
4. If you’d like to enter anonymously for whatever reason, send a cryptic message to @pratyusha_on.insta with your PO Box and your funny alias. Bonus points for making Pratyusha chuckle.
Listen, I have so many personal copies that if you want a nice little bundle to hand out to your book club or to your three evil sisters or your former childhood team of nannies, note that in your comments, e.g. “giveaway 5,” “giveaway 10,” and if we can fairly make that happen, we will.
The Giveaway will end at 23:59 December 5th, to allow time for Pratyusha to reach out to winners for addresses, and to arrange shipping and delivery before mid/late December. Good luck!
