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. Since then, I’ve 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, aren’t you sweet to think of us non-US residents!
Half my regular readers live outside the US. Can’t disqualify you guys. 😀
Yay! We will not be silenced tho we have not a foot upon United State’s soil!
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. 🙂
I have a non-vampire book to give away as well, so stay tuned for next week. 🙂
Ooh, goody! :claps hands:
I still have my copy of Beauty! But never read Sunshine. Sounds intriguing. I’ll enter!
My original copy of Beauty is still in Karachi, but I got another one. Still miss that old cover though. 🙂
Hi Rabia
A free draw! How exciting! I had to come and leave my comment 🙂
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 😀
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. 🙂
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.
Sure. Anyone who doesn’t actually live in the same house as I do can enter. 🙂
