I really enjoyed Testimony and would rate it among my favorite of Shreve's books.
The rules are simple. Just leave a comment on this post - if you have a favorite Anita Shreve book please tell me what it is - if not, please tell me your favorite author of 'women's literature'. There is one entry per person. You do not have to have a blog to enter, but please make sure I have a way to contact you via email if you've won. This giveaway is open to US and Canadian addresses only, sorry to those outside these areas. I will close the comments and draw the 3 winners on October 28. Good luck!

Hi,
I heard about this giveaway through LibraryThing. I'd have to say that my favorite Anita Shreve book is The Pilot's Wife--read it many years ago and still have it on my bookshelves. Thanks for the chance to enter!

I have not yet read anything by Anita Shreve, but this book has me very interested -- looks like a good place to plunge into her works. It's hard to pick just one favorite author, but I have really enjoyed all of Ann Hood's work over the years. I find both her fiction and non-fiction to be very moving. I recommend her all the time.
Thanks for the chance to win TESTIMONY.

I'd love to be entered in the giveaway!! Like the previous, my favorite Anita Shreve book is definitely The Pilot's Wife - my mom introduced it to me and I couldn't put it down.
Thanks!

After reading THE PILOT'S WIFE, I started reading all of Anita Shreve's books. It is a toss up between STRANGE FITS OF PASSION: A NOVEL, and FORTUNE'S ROCKS.
I can't wait to read TESTIMONY!!
Count me in.
I'm also here from Library Thing. Though I loved The Pilot's Wife, The Weight of Water was a more compelling read for me. I would love the chance to read and review Testimony!

please include my name, and thanks for the opportunity to win this book. my favorite Shreve book is Resistance. I read it a few years ago, and am on the hold list at library to have it again
I don't remember having read any Shreve book before. I have read this book's synopsis and it does intriguing. One of my favorite women's fiction author is Luanne Rice (along with Barbara Samuels, Joshilyn Jackson and others.)
I haven't tried Anita Shreve, but have always wanted to. I would say my favorite women's authors are either Elizabeth Berg or Jodi Picoult.
Great giveaway, the book looks like a lot of fun!
I've never read Anita Shreve and I'm always resistant to the category Women's Fiction (I mean, if it's good enough for me to want to read, it's good enough for anyone, right?) but I'd still like to win the book after reading your review. Is Barbara Kingsolver womens-fictiony enough? If so, I'll pick her as my favorite. If not, surely I can think of someone else!
I haven't read one of her books yet but I got Body Surfing to try out! Hmmm favorite author of women's literature... I think I'll say Jennifer Weiner since I have read all but one of her books!

I haven't ready any of Anita Shreve's books but I would like to. My favorite author for woman's literature would be Sophie Kinsella. I loved "Remember Me?"

Thanks for the contest.

I don't think of books as "women's fiction", just fiction but if I had to name one author.. I would go with Nicholas Sparks. I do have an Anita Shreve book in my TBR pile (Pilot's Wife) but have yet to read it.

The first Anita Shreve book I read was Pilot's Wife which I loved so much that I've been slowly been making my way down the rest.
My favorite Anita Shreve book is Sea Glass... I absolutely LOVE it. I also liked Resistance very much. She is one of my favorite authors, so I'm crossing my fingers that I get a copy! :)
My favorite Anita Shreve is definitely The Weight of Water. I have not read her again in a while, so this would be great!
Hi Tara ... thanks for the comment on my blog! I haven't read any Anita Shreve, but like others, this sounds like a good place to start. As for women literature/fiction authors, my favorites include Flannery O'Connor and Lorrie Moore.
This book sounds so good! My first and favorite Shreve book is The Pilot's Wife although they are all great. Thanks for your contest!

I haven't read any Shreve, but I am in love with Barbara Vine. She is my lit-girl-crush.
I have read many of Anita Shreve's books, but the one that first came to mind is The Pilot's Wife. I look forward to reading this new book and hope I win. Thanks for the contest.

I have never read anything by Shreve, but would love to find out how wonderful she is! As far as women's literature--Jane Austen comes to mind, although I don't know if she's technically a part of the genre. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have read some Anita Shreeve and really enjoyed it. My bookclub read both "A wedding in December", and "Light on Snow", but I'm excited about this new book, everyone says its great.
I am from Nevada, where everyone gambles (not really, but that's the stereotype) but I never win anything. (first I guess I must gamble to be able to win :~)
so, I am keeping my fingers crossed this time!! Let it be me.
e-mail (so you can contact me when I win!!)

I've read the Pilot's Wife - that is the only one so far. But I think I have another one to read. She is an excellent writer.
I love Maeve Binchy, Anne Tyler, Anna Quindlen, Marisa de los Santos. I've never tried any of Shreve's works, though.

Huge Alice Hoffman fan here. Interested in this book for its topic.
Please enter me in this contest through my Tasses email link. I have blogged about this contest on Random Wonder.
I don't have a favorite Shreve - yet! Favorite women's lit author... Right, now I'd have to say I'm leaning towards Barbara Pym. I've only read one of her books but absolutely loved it. Thanks for hosting the giveaway Tara!
I love all kinds of authors. I can't really pick my favorite. I just finished a great book 'Same Kind Of Different As Me' Enter my name in the drawing please.
