Texas Statehood Giveaway - Texasville by Larry McMurtry(ends 1/5/2012)

In honor of the Statehood of Texas I will be giving away a copy of Texasville by arry McMurtry.


With Texasville, Larry McMurtry returns to the unforgettable Texas town and characters of one of his best-loved books, The Last Picture Show. This is a Texas-sized story brimming with home truths of the heart, and men and women we recognize, believe in, and care about deeply. Set in the post-oil-boom 1980s, Texasville brings us up to date with Duane, who's got an adoring dog, a sassy wife, a twelve-million-dollar debt, and a hot tub by the pool; Jacy, who's finished playing "Jungla" in Italian movies and who's returned to Thalia; and Sonny -- Duane's teenage rival for Jacy's affections -- who owns the car wash, the Kwik-Sackstore, and the video arcade.

One of Larry McMurtry's funniest and most touching contemporary novels.


I'm trying using Rafflecopter for the first time so hope this works. Thanks for playing and good luck.

  7. This is such a coincidence but a few days ago I added a Larry McMurty book to my reading list (he's a new author to me). I want to read Lonesome Dove and now this book makes me want to try his books more.
