giveaway

The book for this week’s giveaway is Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn, the first book of one of the best epic fantasy trilogies I’ve ever read. I love the world, the premise, the magic system, the characters, the action scenes…. but you don’t have to take just my word for how good it is. Leave a comment to enter the drawing by 8 pm EST on Thursday, the 22nd of July.

So, I shook the random number generator and the winner of Sunshine is… dkoren! Congratulations. 🙂

I will mail out your copy on Monday.

Stay tuned for my next giveaway, also being announced on Monday. 😀

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.
