Giveaway: Joy the Baker Cookbook!

This Saturday, one of my favorite sweet and awesome people in the world, Joy Wilson (but you can call her Joy the Baker) is coming to CakeSpy Shop in Seattle to promote her new book, Joy the Baker Cookbook: 100 Simple and Comforting Recipes !

You can buy her book, buy my book too, and hang out with both of us as well as the winner of the and the winner of the "So You Wanna Be a CakeSpy?" contest, Molly Allen!

But. In the odd event that you are not able to make it -- be it that you've recently lost a limb, found yourself stranded in a blizzard, or perhaps just live 2000 miles away from Seattle--there's a silver lining to that cloud: I'm giving away a copy of Joy's amazing book right here!

How do you enter? It's totally easy. You just tell me why YOU deserve it. Now, I'll be honest: the winner will be chosen at random, so cleverness is not vital in your response, but it sure will amuse me.

That's right: the heat is on. Tell me why YOU deserve the Joy the Baker cookbook ! The winner will be chosen on March 17 at noon PST.

UPDATE: THE WINNER! It's Courtney, whose name was chosen at random. Why is she deserving, though? "I deserve the Joy the Baker cookbook because Joy's blog is the first food blog I ever read. It inspired me to start my own food blog, and three years later, her blog is still the first one I read every day" :)

Of course, you also read THIS website, right Courtney? Congratulations!

I bake for preschool teachers where I work. What's better than rewarding noble teachers who take care of our children? Have I tugged at your heart ;)

I love Joy the Baker! I read her blog and listen to her podcast :) I've been dropping hints to my boyfriend since the pre-order started.... I'm shocked he has not caught on! I think he may be worried/jealous by my mild obsession with her.
