Have you ever read a book and then wanted to watch the movie made from it? Or, maybe you've seen a movie and then found out there was a book it was based on. Well, that was the basis of this monthly meme that I started.
Welcome to Literary R&R's BintoM (Books-into-Movies) Monthly Giveaway!
Here are the particulars for this giveaway:
- Towards the end of the month, I will post the next month's giveaway.
- I will leave it open for 2 to 3 weeks. At that time, a winner (or winners, if I'm feeling generous) will be chosen and notified.
- I will expect the winner to acknowledge the winning email within 48 hours or another winner will be chosen in their place.
- This is now open internationally
- You do not need to be a GFC follower to win. Yes, I would like it if you followed me, but I am not making that a stipulation to participate or to win.
November's BintoM Giveaway (ending November 6th) prize pack will consist of:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book/movie combo
Here's a little bit about both:
I have a brand new paperback copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory written by Roald Dahl that I bought from Books-A-Million.
To go along with the book, I have a brand new copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the movie:
Blurb: What wonders await you in Willy Wonka's factory? Explore fields of soft minty sugar grass in the Chocolate Room ... Sail along the Chocolate River in a pink sugar boat ... Experiment with Everlasting Gobstoppers in the Inventing Room ... Observe talented squirrels in the Nut Room and travel to the Television Room by a glass elevator. You'll find a lot that's funny, a little that's mysterious ... and an adventure as sweet and satisfying as a Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight bar.

Normally, this is where I'd have the link to the entry form, but... I've decided to add to this prize pack. Not only do I enjoy comparing books to their corresponding movies, but I also enjoy comparing older movies to their newer, remade versions. Thus, I have decided to include a copy of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory to this prize pack!
Blurb: Join the expedition visiting legendary Candy Man Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) in a splendiferous movie that wondrously brings to the screen the endlessly appetizing delights of Roald Dahl's classic book.
