OctoberPalooza: Celebrating a Month of New Releases and Indie Bookstores

I tried.
I tried to come up with a super-clever title for this contest/giveaway. I love words like "extravaganza" and "gala". But those words make me wary, because they sound like sparkly events that require high heels and big hair. I don't do heels or big hair.
Chagrin.
So then I looked up "lollapalooza"--spelling varies--and it's actually a word in its own right, not just the name of a major music event. According to a reliable online dictionary:

lol·la·pa·loo·za   [lol-uh-puh-loo-zuh]
noun Slang .
an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or instance.

Well. There it is. So I ditched the "lolla" and kept the "palooza" and, Bob's your uncle, there it is.

Details to follow.
