"Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it." ~ Jeanette Winterson

Spring Cleaning Giveaway
I know it's a little early for spring cleaning, but I've been doing it anyway around my house. As I was looking at my overflowing bookcases, I decided to part with several books. I wanted my followers, and their followers, to have a chance at winning these books before I took them to the local used book store.
Here's how I'm going to do this ... First, there are 10 different books I'm giving away. Some are new, some are used. For each title I will pick a winner. That way more people have a chance to win a book instead of one person winning 10 books. I'll post the books below that are available and you will have a chance to tell me which book, or books, you would like a chance to win. Whatever somebody doesn't want is going to the local used book store. Simple as that.
I will make this giveaway an international one. It will be open from January 16th until February 28th. Upon closing the giveaway, I will randomly select winners for each title. I will contact the winners via email. The winners will need to acknowledge their wins within 48 hours to me or another winner will be chosen in their place.
Ready? =) Here are your options:
1.) Aesop's Fables - Listed as one of the 1001 books to read before you die
2.) The Seventh Compass Point of Death by Richard Sanders - I originally received this from the author for review
3.) Bending Toward The Sun by Leslie Gilbert-Lurie - I originally received this from FSB Media for review
4.) Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier - I originally received this from FSB Media for review
5.) Know Your Bible: All 66 Books Explained and Applied - There will actually be two winners for this book as I have two copies to give away
6.) Shade's Children by Garth Nix - Listed as one of the Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books: 2000 - 2009
7.) The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende - Listed as one of the Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books: 2000 - 2009 and as one of the 1001 books to read before you die
8.) The Appeal by John Grisham - This is a hardback book that I got while I was in one of those book clubs
9.) 7th Heaven by James Patterson - Another hardback book that I got while I was in one of those book clubs
10.) Dark Muse by BrokenSword - I received this from the author for review
I really enjoyed some of these books, but I probably won't get the chance to read them again. So, what better way to get rid of them than to give them to someone who wants them? Fill out the form below for your chance to win.
