Book give-away/name that book
I love the Polish people. I don't know any Polish people personally, but I love them anyway because they keep buying my books. I think that says something about their inherent good humor and fine taste in literature.
Sometimes my publisher sends me the Polish additions of my books, which is very cool. Here you can see that 1,000,000 sprzedanych ejzemplarzy!!!
I am not actually sure what that means, but I hope that it means I've sold a million books, because I know I'm pretty close to that number. (The last I heard on the cover of My Double Life, it said I'd sold nearly a million books.)
You would think that my publisher would tell me these sorts of details, but no, I only learn them from the flap copy of my books.
Anyway, when I got this book it took me several minutes to figure out what book it was. And then when I did figure it out, I couldn't believe that I hadn't realized it as soon as I saw the cover.
So for all you true-blue Janette Rallison fans, I'm doing a book giveaway that Random.org isn't involved in. The first person who can guess which of my books this is the Polish version of, will win the English version of the book. (Or the Polish one if you'd rather.)
You only have one guess, (no fair listing all of my books).
Good luck!

All's Fair in Love, War, and High School?
umm..All's Fair in Love, War and High School? Btw, I am International
I'm going to guess How to take the Ex out of Ex boyfriend
jlynettes @ hotmail . com
Fame, Glory, and other things on my to do list
Blast. I KNOW it's All's fair in love, war and high school, but someone already got it. :(
What an interesting title translation.
It boggles the mind (in a very good way) to know that you have sold about a million books. Good for you!!!! That's just phenomenal.
I'm going to have to guess that it's the cover for "It's a Mall world after all". The car reminds me of Colton's.
I am going to say Just One Wish since there is driving involved.
snap connie! that was my guess.
I was going to cheat and look it up, but I'm too lazy and I own all your books. Okay, almost all. Besides, that cover thing probably says "Only 1,000,000 zlotys this week only! Big Sale Making!"
Haha, that IS All's Fair In Love, War And High School--the cat is on the roof and everything, lol :D

Looks like the only possibility left to have a chance of being first is Life Love and the Pursuit of Free Throws!
Oh wait, there's one other possibility....
The 1,000,000 sprzedanych ejzemplarzy does mean "a million copies sold." I'm not sure about the translation of the title, because it's idomatic. Literally I think it's something like "All grasps/tricks allowed." Google translator says it's "All it takes." Maybe some of your Polish Facebook friends could give you a better translation. But yeah, All's Fair in Love, War, and High School.
I think it is My double Life!
Is Samantha ever left on the street in All's Fair?
Yep, Lexie nailed it on the first comment. It's All's Fair in Love,War, and High School. The cat on the roof is the give-away. And Samantha is left in front of the Vet's clinic, so we can assume there's a road somewhere around.
Lexie,
Send me your address (and Polish or English preference) at jrallisonfans at yahoo dot com
Reminds me of Just One Wish because of their long car ride :)
Fame, Glory, and Other things on my to do list. It reminds me of the opening scene where the girl gets into the wrong Honda. I've read the book several times and still laugh at that. the whole book is one of my favorites because I laugh so much
All's Fair in Love, War, and High School (I know I don't win, but it's still fun to be right)
Yeah, I'm guessing It's a Mall World, too. Hot guy, hot car. You know.
I commented on goodreads and then reazlized I should have done it here...
My guess was All's Fair in Love,War and highschool.

I was going to say My Double Life.
It is definitely "All's Fair in Love, War, and High School." It is the part of the book where Samantha and Brad (her soon to be ex-boyfriend) try to take Samantha's cat, Frisky, to the vet to get spayed. No wonder Frisky put up such a fight.
I know this post was like, almost a year ago, but I still have to comment. That is SO 'All's fair in love, war, and high school'. As soon as I saw Frisky I knew.
