monday giveaway

Beauty was the first Robin McKinley book I ever read. It became an instant favorite; I must’ve read it cover to cover a dozen times (or more–back then books were harder to come by), pressed it upon my friends and jealously watched for its return.Β  Since then, I’veΒ  read a number of McKinley’s books and found her imagination rich and prose exquisite. I haven’t taken to all of her works (they’re hit-or-miss with me in terms of story line), but I love her style and voice. I always sample her books, and finding those that click with me is a heady experience.

So, this giveaway is a copy of my absolute favorite McKinley book–Sunshine. This combination of vampires, post-apocalypse and baked goods drew me in despite myself (not a fan of vampires here!) and filled the hours I spent reading it with wonder.

To win a copy, leave a comment before 8 pm (EST) Friday, July 16th. I’ll draw a name at random and email the lucky winner. This is open to everyone, even if you live outside the US.

    Well, don’t throw me in the drawing for Sunshine. (Don’t do vampires at all.) But sounds interesting. Pondering getting a copy of Beauty.

      Yes, def. Beauty is a very nice MG/YA novel. No red flags at all. πŸ™‚

      I have a non-vampire book to give away as well, so stay tuned for next week. πŸ™‚

    Hi Rabia
    A free draw! How exciting! I had to come and leave my comment πŸ™‚
    I’ve never heard of Robin McKinley and it makes me realise how many American authors are out there whose books I’ve never read.
    Vampires. Well, now. I don’t do vampires either but I’m willing to be converted, so fingers crossed πŸ˜€

      I avoid vampires like a plague, so I didn’t read this one for the longest time. I’m glad I was persuaded into it, though. πŸ™‚

    Well, I’ve never heard of Sunshine! Am I allowed to enter? Love Robin McKinley–the Hero and the Crown has been a favorite since childhood, and I really enjoyed Beauty as well.
