Bloggy Giveaways Carnival
Shannon of Rocks in My Dryer and Bloggy Giveaways fame is hosting the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. Click on that link to go to the ginormous list of blogs participating and giving away prizes. If you want to participate, click here for the guidelines.
Now, what would you expect me to be giving away? Books, of course! Six pre-read, gently-used books. That means there will be six winners! All you need to do to enter is leave a comment on this post telling me your top three picks out of these books:
~ Abide with Me by Elizabeth Strout. You can read my review here.
~ The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler.
~ The Awakening and Selected Short Fiction by Kate Chopin – my review. Please keep in mind that the copy I’m giving away is the mass-market paperback edition of the Barnes & Noble Classics, not the trade paperback one that is pictured in the review.
~ The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.
~ Echoes by Maeve Binchy.
~ The Copper Beech by Maeve Binchy.
Now, leave a comment here before Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 12:00 am PST. I will use a random number generator to draw six names sometime Saturday. (Duplicate comments will be deleted, so just one, please.) Don’t forget to tell me what your top three picks are! That way when I draw names, I can hopefully match you with a book that you’re actually interested in reading. Good luck! And be sure and check out all the other giveaways – some have much more extravagant prizes than I’m offering.




I will take any of them they all look good!
