Book Giveaway Carnival


As I mentioned last week, I'm participating in the Book Giveaway Carnival that's being hosted at Book Room Reviews. I have 3 things to give away:
  1. A copy of The Love We Share Without Knowing by Christopher Barzak, a lovely book I posted about here;
  2. A copy of We Never Talk About My Brother by Peter S. Beagle, a book I haven't read yet, but which is lovely too for sure. I explained the reason why I'm including it in the giveaway here, and you can see me gushing about Peter Beagle here and here;
  3. Bookmarks! I have 3 sets of 3 to give away:

(click to enlarge)

The bookmarks are all homemade, except for the first one in the first set, which is from this Etsy store. I'm giving it away because I have two of them. I ordered one a while ago, and then more recently Bart, guessing my taste just right, included another one in the copy of Old Man's War he sent me.

Rules:
  • To be entered, just leave me a comment saying if you're interested in book 1, book 2, the bookmarks, or all of them.
  • Make sure you include a way for me to contact you if you win.
  • You can be entered for all three giveaways, but you can only win one.
  • Open worldwide.
  • Winners will be announced on Sunday, March 8th.
Good luck!

Since I already won twice in your lucky hat I'll just wish all those who are participating a lot of luck!

Those bookmarks are indeed lovely. Reminds me of the lovely lady who sent me similar lovely bookmarks :P

And hopefully Barzak's and Beagle's newest books will be available here soon.

Indigo said...

I would love the book "We Never Talk About My Brother". The fact Charles de Lint (another underappreciated author) recommends this book is enough for me. I've been a fan of de Lint's books for years. Thanks for the opportunity! Indigo

Thanks for entering, everyone, and thank you for the kind words about my bookmarks!

Book Twin, I've been meaning to ask you this: when's your birthday? :P

Tracy, thanks for answering my newbie question!

bookworm (and anyone else wondering about contact info): If you have a blog where I can leave a comment, that's more than enough. It's just that I once had a winner with no e-mail address and no blog :P Needless to say, I ended up having to draw another name a week later.

I just read your review of The Love We Share Without Knowing, and I put it on my wishlist, so obviously I'd like to win a copy. I'd like a chance at We Never Talk About My Brother, too.

And if I hadn't already won some of your awesome bookmarks (which are marking pages in my books *right now*!), I'd enter for them, too. But I guess I'd better give the other nice people a chance. ;-)

Thanks!

I'd love the Peter S. Beagle book.
Your bookmarks are beautiful, but Oprah has me decluttering my life, and I've finally been forced to admit that a piece of junk mail makes a perfectly good bookmark and I don't need the millions of other ones I have.

Nymeth said...

Sorry Barbara - the giveaway is no longer open.

Trish said...

LOL--with 147 comments already dare I leave another one? :) I just wanted to say that I was sad I missed this one. Your bookmarks are incredibly wonderful looking.
