Win a Copy of Her Fearful Symmetry

Here's a chance to get your hands on one of the hot new reads for free: Regal Literary, Audrey Niffenegger's literary agency, is giving away 25 hardcover and 10 advanced reader's copies of the author's new book, Her Fearful Symmetry. All you have to do to enter is become a fan of the book on Facebook and send an email to hfs[at]regal-literary[dot]com with the subject line "Facebook Special Offer - I'm a fan!" by November 13. Does it get much better than free books, especially good free books? I think not. (Also, be sure to check out all of the interviews and videos of Audrey discussing her work on the FB page...there's some good information there.)
