One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

For today’s giveaway, I bring you four of the greatest books ever written. Granted they’ll never win a Pulitzer, but they totally should. All the writers are quirky and a little off, which is probably why I love them so much. Even if you don’t win this giveaway, I’d recommend adding these to your must read lists. They’re that awesome.

Untbook giveaway

Four lucky readers will win one of these four books:

You’ll have to choose which book you want {which I know will be a totally agonizing choice}.

For a chance to win, simply leave a comment below and let me know which book you’d choose if you won and why. Are you are hypochondriac too? Are you a really big deal?  Do you like ironic, cartoon anecdotes? Ducks? Or maybe you just like easy reads that don’t make you cry or think about hard stuff?

Just answer that one question and you’re entered to win. Life’s pretty complicated sometimes, so I like to keep things simple around here.

Rules

1 entry per person/ip address. If you cheat, you will totally be disqualified.

This giveaway ends  December 7, 2013 @6 pm PST and the winner will be announced in the December 8th, 2013 edition of Mornings with Mavis. You will be notified via email and have 24 hours to claim your prize. If you do not claim your prize within 24 hours, the prize will be forfeited.

Due to shipping costs, this giveaway is only open to residents of the US only.

Good Luck! I hope you win!

  4. I would love the sicology book for my husband. He loves the Robertson family and being this close to Louisiana it is a must have.

  6. Hyperbole and a half because I’m always looking for new and quirky books (and authors) to explore.

  9. Si-cology because everyone needs a good story about someone else every now and again. Plus this man is a hoot and a half.

  13. The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You! Because I’m a nurse, and you can never know too much 😉

  14. Hyperbole and a half! You said that your daughter likes it. It also saw the author on tv not too long ago and she was very likeable!

  15. Let Me Off at the Top!: My Classy Life and Other Musings. Because who doesn’t need some more Ron in their life?

  21. Let Me Off at the Top!: My Classy Life and Other Musings….Who knows some day it may become a collector’s item.

  25. I would definitely choose Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. I’ve read her blog for a long time and love her story telling style.

  26. I would choose Ron Burgundy, because I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

  29. Si-cology 1: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty’s Favorite Uncle, for my hubby who lovesssssss Duck Dynasty

  33. HYPERBOLE AND A HALF because 1) it is a catchy title 2)it sounds like it might be funny 3) I like to read and 4)it is your daughter’s favorite

  34. I would love to win the Si-cology 101 book! I totally adore and respect all of the members of the Robertson family, but Si is my absolute favorite! I have read all of the other books by the Robertson family members, but haven’t read this one yet! I love hearing all of the crazy thoughts that come out of that man’s head.

  35. si cology for sure. those guys are hilarious and understand that you cAnt pick your family. they have strong values and i saw an episode where Si let his granddaughters braid his beard with bows and paint his nails. that is a man secure in his manhood.

  38. The Complete Manual Of Things That Might Kill You, because my sister is a complete hypochondriac!

  41. Hyperbole and a Half sounds great. I’m a college student and don’t have much time for pleasure reading. It sounds like this one would be a humorous break from my studies.

  44. Definitely si-cology Jack! My son is a HUGE Duck Dynasty fan. He was Willie Robertson for Halloween.

  45. The Duck Dynasty book. I have no idea what is up with that family, but they are such a sensation I would like to get the low down.

  47. The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You because I suspect it’ll highly entertain me, my honey, and my family.

  51. Si-Cology! Hubby likes duck dynasty ..so we have both read happy happy happy and enjoyed! Thx

  54. Ron Burgundy! We actually got that book for my SIL as a bday gift and my husband was jealous because he didn’t get to read it (and the man does not read, so that’s saying a lot!). Stay classy!

  61. The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You. That title is just too hard to pass up, what a Hoot!

  62. I would love the Hyperbole and a Half book – I LOVE the blog, and can’t wait to see what’s in the book!

  63. The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You. Because I just have to know, it’s the closet hypochondriac in me! Lol

  65. I would love Si-cology 1. If you take the hair away the Robertsons could be my fathers family. After I read it I would totally give it to my sister for Christmas.

  68. I would choose the ways to be killed book. That would be a great source of random trivia at work.

  69. Hyperbole because I love Allie alot…… just kidding I know its spelled a lot. Fellow Allie fans will know what I did there!!

  71. The complete Manual of things that might kill you- Leave that laying around and just think of the excuses my kids would come up with the avoid work. I might as well be amused with their excuses..

  73. I would chose Hyperbole and a Half. You said it’s your daughter’s favorite so I think my kids would love it too!

  76. I’d love to read Hyperbole and a Half because the story about how her dogs handled the big move was EXACTLY how my dogs did!

  79. I have wanted Hyperbole and a Half since months before it came out! I love Alli’s website and would love to have her book!

  80. I would choose the Complete Manuel of Things that Might Kill you. My children already feel I am OCD due to liking things very clean, now if could back up my arguments with actual medical reasoning too! 😉

  83. I choose Si-cology 1 because my son is a psychology major and a duck hunter…seems like a good fit, somehow.

    Thanks!
    ~Anne

  96. Si-cology, because Duck Dynasty is very popular at my house. My 6 yr old nephew thinks Si is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

  97. The complete book of things that might kill you, so I can use the info to crack a joke with my friends.

  98. The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You because knowledge is power. And…I’m a hypochondriac so who knows what kind of stuff I can learn and obsess about from this book.

  99. I would love to win Sicology-1 Tales and Wisdom Form Duck Dynasty’s Favorite Uncle. I love the show, which is funny, heart warming, and down to earth, and always ends with the family gathered around a meal in prayer. I’d expect the book to be pretty much the same-down to earth and real. Hope I win!

  100. I would select the Sicology 1 book. I’ve heard a lot about the Duck Dynasty folks and maybe this book would clue me in!

  101. I would love “The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You” for oh-so-many reasons! (1) I work in the health-care field, and it will be great to have this little book to confirm many of our patients worst fears (kidding!). (2) My high school daughter believes absolutely everything she reads–especially on the internet–AND she’s convinced that every little ache or pain is reason to run to the emergency room. (3) On the flip side, my husband could be dying of the bubonic plague, and he would insist that it’s just a little cold that needs to run it’s course. (4) Given #2 and #3, isn’t it obvious this book would solve everything!? (5) I need a new coffee-table conversation starter book. (6) I have a good friend with whom we read books like this and laugh like school-girls. (Try “The Gentleman’s Guide to Life” – hilarious! But perhaps it’s not supposed to be?) (7) I never win anything! Thanks, Mavis!!!

  103. Si-cology 1, I will regift it to my brother, who looks just like him!! (and has for many years, long before anyone had heard of Duck Dynasty)

  110. I would pick Hyperbole because laughter is good and I haven’t read her stuff, but it looks to be very enjoyable.

  112. Si-Cology 101. I really enjoy watching the show. There’s never a dull moment with Si around. Had I known he had a book, I would have already bought it.

  118. It would make me Happy, Happy, Happy to have Uncle Si’s book. I’d give it to my daughter. We all love Duck Dynasty.

  121. Um…I can’t decide! My husband loves ‘Hyperbole and a Half’ (especially her dogs!), but I am an anatomy & physiology instructor and would *love* ‘The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You.’ I think my students would get a kick out of it!

  124. My uncle truly is Uncle Si…but he doesn’t see it! This book would be the perfect gift for him! 🙂

  125. I’d choose The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You and share it with my sister in memory of our grandmother. No matter what illness we ever came down with, her sister Dawn would have been suffering from the same thing for two weeks! I always wanted to tell Gram I had a prostate infection just to see if Aunt Dawn would be dealing with that too!

  127. I would choose ‘Hyperbole and a Half’ , read it, give it to MY daughter and then when SHE was done with it, pass it along to my OTHER daughter! We ALL love good humor. 😀

  132. The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You! – perfect give for my BIL! Not that I’m trying to kill him – ha

  133. Things that might kill you, because I’m a total nerd and love the worst case scenario books and this sounds like the hilarious version.

  135. The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You to share with my brother. The two of us share some sort of hypochondria gene! haha.

  140. Ron Burgandy. I will give this to my son for Christmas. He just loves the character as well as Will Farrell in general.

  143. Ron Burgundy, Let Me Off at the Top! I didn’t know this was a real thing! I love Ron Burgundy (but mostly Brian Fantana!) <3

  144. Hyperbole and a Half – I’ve been reading her blog for some time now, and I love it!

  146. Si-cology 1! Love those Duck Dynasty boys! As a southerner, their humor is so much like hanging out with family. A good bunch of god-fearin’, honest, hard working people. Our family loves them!

  148. I would love to win Si-Cology. My husband and I both watch the show. It’s our favorite and we would love to read the book.

  150. Si-cology because I love Duck Dynasty and saw this book in the store…it’s on my Christmas Wish List!

  154. Let Me Off At The Top. I would give it to my 25 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves.loves.loves Ron Burgandy!! It would make her day!

  155. I’d choose Hyperbole and a Half. Recommended by Elizabeth Gilbert, I also saw an interview with the writer and her story about her experience with depression struck a chord. The book is on my to-get list. Thanks, Mavis!

  156. I’m a nurse too. So, The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You is a must read! But in all honesty I have to tell you that since I am a nurse…I wore out my eyes reading medical literature. So I would prefer a trip to Argentina with Vigo Mortenson. Thank you!

  161. Ron Burgundy because my son really enjoys the Anchorman movie and is looking forward to seeing the new release… This would make a nice Christmas present ! thanks!

  162. Si-cology for the hubby for Christmas. We watch the show and tease him about things he may or may not have in common with Uncle Si : )
