book giveaway.

book.

just wanted to remind you that if you want a free copy of two kisses for maddy, you have until midnight (pacific time) on march 6th (this sunday) to enter to win one of ten copies from goodreads. click here for more information.

in addition to the copies available on goodreads, i have a few advance reader copies (aka galleys, aka uncorrected, paperback proofs) that i’d be happy to part with. just leave a comment below, along with a valid email address (your email address will not be shared). it doesn’t have to be anything profound, just “i want one!” or something like that. ***comments are closed on this giveaway. the next giveaway starts on friday, march 11th*** i’ll be giving away one copy per week, every friday until the book comes out on april 14th. the contest closes at 12:01am (pacific time) on tuesday. i’ll choose a winner at random from the comments, and announce it sometime on tuesday.

finally, i’ve added a few dates to my book tour, including the gaithersburg book festival in gaithersburg, md, the brookline booksmith in brookline, mass, the bookcase in wayzata, mn, and several others. click here or the book link at the top of the page for dates/times for all of the scheduled events.

(oh…the wendy williams show is about to start. i’ve gotta go).

    I want one, but I’m not sure that I’m the best person to give one to. I know that I can’t get through more than a few pages at a time without a tear falling. Your loss of Liz shaped my pregnancy, and in so many ways shapes who I am as a parent. I feared every hiccup, every twitch, every quickened heartbeat while still embracing life and enjoying every moment along the way. I’ve brought my son, Jack, with me to the ends of the earth – have watching him sleep on the top deck of the Eiffel Tower and dance around the minarets of the Taj Mahal – making it his playground just as Maddy did. All the while finding a connection to this woman who I will never meet, this woman who loved her little girl as much as I love my little boy, and was robbed of the one thing I have, for now, time. So yes, although I will love your book, whether received by you or purchased along the way, I accept the fact that it will go largely unread for some time because I will struggle with getting through it.

    I’d love a copy!

    And Matt, I left this message to Brooke on your flikr site…to comment on the bounce house injury pic. I just wanted to be sure she got to see it. Thanks so much!

    This message is for Brooke…if you don’t mind. :) I just want to let you know that I married a man whose wife died in one of the Twin Towers on 9/11. I am currently raising his (our!) children from his marriage and a beautiful daughter that we had together. I see all the love in your eyes for Maddy that I have for my children now. What you have is a beautiful, strong, amazing thing. Always remember to cherish each moment with Maddy….and thank Liz each day for the gift that you have in sharing your life with Matt and Maddy. It is never easy. It is always messy. But with the right amount of love and acceptance…all things are possible. They are lucky to have you. You are lucky to have them. Enjoy every moment of it all and make sure that Maddy grows up to know, and love, her Mommy. You are a strong woman and deserve lots of happiness, along with Matt and Maddy. :) Love, Amy

YOU AND MADDY HAVE BEEN SUCH AN INSPIRATION FOR ME! NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO THRU WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE AMOUNT OF SELF SACRIFICE FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER IS ABSOLUTELY HEART-WARMING! I WISH YOU LIVED CLOSER JUST SO THAT I COULD MEET YOU AND GIVE YOU A BIG OLE HUG AND SAY THANK YOU!!!

And, yes, you do need to come to NOR CAL for your book tour–I know you won’t come as far north as I am, but even if you made it to Sacramento or Chico I would make a point of coming. But then again, Apolo Ohno came here, so you could too!

    My son was born on the same day that Maddy was (a long almost 3 years ago). He was a 25 weeker, though, so he’s not doing nearly the things Maddy does. But I love to read about Maddy’s progress, and your blog is my own little gauge for what we need to work on with our sweet boy.
    Not that that means I should win the book, or anything, but I’d really love to. I’ll be buying it either way, but it would be super cool to have a signed version.

I love your blog, your writing style and the pictures of Maddy–and of So Cal. I spent most of my life there and am now (very sadly) not in California and I love hearing about places you go and seeing the pictures…it feels like home.

    I’d like to be #687 in line to say I want one! I am very much looking forward to the book (even if I have to buy my own copy).

    It’s beautiful to see how much you and Maddy have grown since I first ‘met’ you, and it’s even better to watch you all (Brooke, Awesome Auntie Deb and the Awesome Goodman family) create a wonderful life for Maddy together.

    so there you go… i want one! :D
    been following your story since maddy was a couple of days old, can’t wait to finally ‘hold it in my hands’. the story that is.

    (ps. is it weird that every time i hear/read the word story now, i hear maddy’s little voice in my head saying ‘that’s a good story!!!’ i think i watched that video a few too many times ;) )

    I have been following your blog for close to 2 years. It has been at times inspiring, beautiful, hysterical and heart-wrenching. So glad to see you are coming to Brookline Booksmith. Have to been to Boston before? You’ll love it! A great music scene, great food, beautiful time of year to visit (not too hot/humid yet). There is an awesome historic movie theatre across the street from the bookstore… the Coolidge Theatre. You should check it out!
    Are you hitting any other Boston or Cambridge bookstores?

    Hi Matt,

    I’ve been “stalking” your blog for a couple of years now and don’t think I’ve ever commented before but I really would LOVE a copy of your book. I usually only take books out of the library since my finances are limited but your book already has a waiting list of 79 people! :)

    Matt,

    I have been following your blog since the first time I saw you and Maddie on a show sometime back. Your story struck close to home for me as I had a PE 3 weeks after the birth of my first son. You two are a consistent reminder on how lucky I am to still be here with my hubby, son and soon to be three year old daughter. Can’t wait to read your book and am hoping that it can be ordered in Canada.
    Thanks!

    WOW! You have a few people who want this book… and yup, I am one of them. Can’t wait for the release and hope I can get an early copy to share with my friends. Actually, a friend of mine lost a friend just a few weeks ago following the delivery of her 3rd child. The only thing I could offer my friend was your blog for the husband so he could see that someone can come out on the other side of all of this. It would be great to send a copy along for that heartbroken man. Hope life continues to be good for you and good luck with the book tour. You have a lot of fun in store for you, Maddy and Brooke.

    Matt. I started reading you sometime after Rich, my beloved oldest son, firstborn child, lost his life to suicide. Your great honesty, strength, and mostly love gave me courage for my own very painful journey of loss. C.S. Lewis said, “We read to know that we are not alone.” It would be such an honor to receive this book. Blessings!

    I’m so excited to read your book. I’m sure you don’t remember me, but I’m Eric Sorensen’s mom and used to follow you in Little League, sharing the bleachers with Sara. In fact, we are going to meet for drinks when she gets back from Alaska.

    So happy that everything is going well for you now. Can’t believe how cute Maddy is. Eric and Julie have a 2-year old, Wyatt, so I can talk grandmother stores with Grandma Broc. Saw her in Lunds awhile back and she told me how that name came to be. So funny. You have a very clever family.

    Take care, Mary

    So, I’d really love a copy of the book. I sent an email to our local bookstore, Joseph Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY and told them they should bring you in for a signing. Hope to see you in Kentucky sometime. I’d love for you to sign my book. (Then again, you can just sign the free copy you send me!)

    As my four year old would say “pick me, pick me”….but if not, you can still count me and my sister “in” on picking up copies :-)

    Oh please pick me! I’m selfishly a bit sad I alerted you about the goodreads contest. (well, not really, but still… I’d love to win this–I am hoping my book club will sign up to read your book in either May or June)

    I want one! But I’d be happy to buy it in person. Are you thinking of stopping through Chicago between your MN and St. Louis dates? I could totally hook you up with a really neat independent bookstore in my neighborhood. They do author readings/signing all the time. check them out and please let me know if you are interested. Their website is not very nice at all but the place itself is. http://www.bookcellarinc.com/

    Long time reader (basically since day one) after an old friend of Deb’s told me your story. Have been following you ever since. I am now marrying the man who first told me about your story. We’re getting married in Mexico on April 9th in Tulum, Mexico (near Akumal) and have been so sad that I’ll be gone when your book comes out. Would be great to have it ahead of time so I can read it on the beach when I’m finally relaxing after the big day.
    Congrats on how far you’ve come and this major accomplishment in your life. You deserve it.

    Wow! I guess all these comments probably answer any questions about how many readers/lurkers/creeps (the good kind!) follow you these days!

    Anyways, would love a copy of your book if you’re posting to Australia…
