After a very thrilling few hours handling a new library copy of Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Boys (btw get that book – difficult to get into at first but amazing in the end), it occurred to me that nobody reads enough books in paper anymore. The advent of the e-reader has robbed us of holding a proper book in our hands and turning real pages. So I decided that it was time for a giveaway (of course that’s where my mind goes! CONTEST. FREE BOOKS. DROOL.) Now this one is special in that you can choose any book that we’ve reviewed on the site and I’ll send it to you IN PAPER! Yes! That’s right, any book that we have reviewed on this site is up for grabs and if you win, you will get it as a physical copy. No “do you want Kindle or Nook format”. No “send me your email address where you want to receive your copy of…” Oh no! If you win, you gotta send me a real live address and I will send you a real live book. If a book is only available as an e-book well…you’re out luck! Didn’t you read the part about this being a contest to win a physical book?
And if you need a reminder of what books look like, here you go!
So here’s the rules: take a poke around the site and choose a book we’ve reviewed that you want to read in paper. Then enter our contest below via the rafflecopter entry form. You must be 18 to enter/win or have parental permission. Continental USA only. Contest runs from 2/6/13 – 2/12/13. Winner announced on 2/13/13. Good luck!
