Do you have a Twitter account? If so, uh, good going, champ. But you could win a Snicket attaché case courtesy of Egmont and Peters Educational Books! twitter.com/petersbookswww.peterseducationalbooks.com/peters-news/lemony-snicket-twitter-competition.htmlThere's no date on the competition or anywhere on the site, which is really unhelpful, but it seems to be very recent - not a week old - and so there's probably still time. Here's what you have to do: --- To win one of these fantastic cases, of which only a few have been produced; and are sure to become collectors' items; entries should be made via Twitter. All you have to do is locate our Twitter feed (@petersbooks) and send us a tweet (make sure '@petersbooks' is in your tweet), completing the following statement: “The next book Lemony Snicket should borrow from the library should be…………….” The book title could be real, or one you have made-up. You must also give a reason - all of this should fit in a 140 character tweet! Those who give us, in our opinion, the best answers, will be contacted for their postal address and will be sent one of these fantastic cases. --- It's since been confirmed that you can enter multiple times, so don't necessarily limit yourself to a single Tweet. Good luck! Make sure to win and then take exhaustive photographs of everything! Edit: Making this an Announcement for a while to reach a broader audience.

Damn I don't have a twitter account. But there's nothing stopping me from making one. Now to think up a book title...... Edit: So, I tweeted them, and apparently the closing date is the day of the book's release.

I'm guessing this is a U.K. thing, in which case (no pun intended) I wish good luck to the competitors.

Edit: So, I tweeted them, and apparently the closing date is the day of the book's release. That's handy to know, although it means that any winners will have to wait a while for their prize. Kind of ironic to be getting the "exclusive sneak peek" later than the book itself is released, but I suppose the presumption is that not everyone will necessarily be buying it on the release date. I might be participating too. I'm just mulling over some options. Edit: Signed up just for this and sent two tweets. As soon as the competition is over I am off like a decaying corpse. Ugh I feel so filthy.

In what seemed like 667 centuries I finally opened my Twitter LOL! I don't know what to type. EDIT: I typed them sum'thin', but I'm in Asia, wonder how will the prize get here.

I did tweet them and also found out there isn't a limit to the number of entries- so if anyone wants to send a few, they'd probably be in with a better chance.

Imagine showing off new stuff to my ASOUE fangirl friend; she'll be green with NV! Anyway, that's just wishing stuff, or what the Indonesians(or the Javanese) refer as 'ngarep.com' ;D

I won't make a twitter account just for that. I never won anything and I don't believe I ever will... Good luck to you all!
EDIT: Is anybody thinking of sending a coded message with the book title? Like certain people in certain books?

EDIT: I typed them sum'thin', but I'm in Asia, wonder how will the prize get here. I asked if those living outside the U.K. could participate, and they replied in the affirmative, so I'm going to submit my two. Edit: Also, I think it's great how we all chose such conspicuous usernames.

This competition is now closed, so hopefully we'll hear sooner (or later) who won. With any luck, everyone.

I tweeted/twittered/whatever-you're-supposed-to-call-it Peters Books yesterday asking about the contest results, and they replied, "We will be judging the entries and making an announcement this week". So be on the lookout, I guess.

Thanks for the update, Q.R.V. I was wondering when we'd hear the results from this.
