Bloggy Giveaway: Two Classic Books

Carnival_buttonThis giveaway is now closed.

I love to read. Two of my all-time favorite books are Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice and Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre.

Today you have a chance to win both books. If you haven’t read them, you will love them. I have yet to find anyone who doesn’t simply adore either of these books. If you are that person, please don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. It will ruin my faith in humankind.

Wanna win the books? Leave me a comment on this post. That’s
it! Of course, I’d love it if you wrote something besides "Pick me!" or
"I want this!" because I’d rather read about how you love Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, but any comment counts.

The only thing I ask is that you don’t enter more than once because duplicate entries will mean that you don’t get any
entries. Just so you know and all. And no anonymous comments because,
hello? How can I contact you if you’re anonymous? Just sayin’.

  • This giveaway is open to US residents only because I’m nothing if not a total procrastinator and cheap to boot.
  • You don’t have to be a blogger to play along. 
  • I’ll pick a winner on Friday and contact you that same day via e-mail. You have four days to respond. If I don’t hear from you by then, I’ll have to choose a new winner. Make sure you’re checking your spam folder.

Ok. Confession time. I have never read either one of those books.
Nope.
Never.
The only Bronte book I’ve read is Wuthering Heights – which I loved!!
Sign me up! ;)

Thanks for hosting again!

I love your Jane Austen themed giveaways. I hope to win.

Oh, I LOVE Jane Austen. I love her books, and even some of the movies about the books (well, I say that, but there was that Northanger Abbey movie that was pretty horrible.)
I actually don’t own a single Austen novel, so I’d love to start with these two!
Thanks!

I would love these books! We are just starting to build our little “library” and these would be great additions!

7 grace April 25, 2008 at 12:52 am

Unbelievable but true, I haven’t read any Jane Austen book!! I would love to through this giveaway!!

8 Stretch Mark Mama April 25, 2008 at 12:53 am

Oh, I would LOVE to have these on my shelf! Now that I’ve seen the corresponding movies a few times, I can actually understand the thees and thous.

9 mom to p April 25, 2008 at 12:54 am

I’ve heard so many great things about these books and I want to find out!

10 Deborah April 25, 2008 at 1:15 am

Jane Eyre has always been a favorite of mine. Now with grandchildren old enough to appreciate the Jane Austen books I would love to win for them.
Thanks for all the wonderful books you are offering. I am a Mac user but already have Toast so didn’t sign up for that one.

I love reading and classics make it even better.

14 Lydia April 25, 2008 at 6:39 am

Hi! first read Jane Eyre in sixth grade and fell in love with gothic romances! I left my copy in West Africa and would LOVE to have a new copy!

What awesome books. Thanks for the giveaway.

17 thatblond@hotmail.com April 25, 2008 at 7:43 am

What a tw0-fer!! Two of my favorite books!! Since I already have both of them, if I win, I will have a book giveaway for my AP English Senior students next fall! P.S. are you planning to give away Persuasion some time in the future? Because that is my very favorite Jane Austen book, and I lent my copy, and sadly, the borrower does not have any intention of giving it back.

18 Annabelle April 25, 2008 at 7:43 am

2 books I’ve never read before…I haven’t read very many classics…something I’ve been wanting to do!

19 Jackie @ where the boys are April 25, 2008 at 7:43 am

I have never read these books.I have heard a lot about them though. If I won I would read them! monk5@charter.net

22 Marcia April 25, 2008 at 9:06 am

I remember reading Pride & Prejudice in school. I haven’t had the pleasure of reading Jane Eyre yet, but I’ve heard it’s a great book!

23 ana April 25, 2008 at 9:15 am

I LOVE Jane Austen!! I’d love to win these books enter me please.

24 Charlene Anderson April 25, 2008 at 9:20 am

Yes, believe it or not, I haven’t read these books. I have read thousands of books in my life (if I don’t have 6 or 8 books going I feel lost) but somehow I missed these!

25 melanie April 25, 2008 at 9:43 am

I haven’t read either of these, but am working my way through classics interspersed with all of the other must-reads that I find. One of my best friends loves Bronte and it’s high time I read her! I am a book whore and will do (almost) anything for a good book.

26 Stephanie April 25, 2008 at 10:47 am

I would love to read these please enter me into this great contest.

27 Stephanie April 25, 2008 at 10:50 am

I would love to read these, I haven’t read them. Please enter me into this great contest.

28 Michele April 25, 2008 at 11:51 am

I’ve never read either of these books. I’d love to! I have seen Pride and Prejudice (two versions) and it seems a delightful story. I love to read the “real” story that has been condensed down into a movie.
Thanks for such a neat giveaway (even if I don’t end up winning).

29 Aggie April 25, 2008 at 12:02 pm

Whenever I’m stressed about ANYTHING, I will read Pride & Prejudice. And if my husband goes away for a day, a week or even a month, I will watch the DVD each night. My favorite part is when Elizabeth is crying over the news that Lydia left her party in Brighton and Mr. Darcy walks into the room…makes your heart melt!!!

30 Kathleen W. April 25, 2008 at 12:45 pm

I love both of these books and would love to reread them. Thanks for the giveaway!

31 chickadee April 25, 2008 at 1:13 pm

would love to win this.

32 Janette April 25, 2008 at 1:34 pm

I would love to reread either book! It’s been forever.

33 holly April 25, 2008 at 1:52 pm

I have seen Pride and Prejudice the movie, but haven’t read either book. I love classic novels and I would love to read these 2, especially JANE AUSTEN!!! cookiecutter72 AT hotmail dot com

34 holly April 25, 2008 at 1:53 pm

I’m not sure if my post went through. I love Jane Austen and would love to read these books. cookiecutter72 At hotmail dot com

35 Lisa O April 25, 2008 at 1:54 pm

I would love to have these classics. It has been a long time since I’ve read Jane Eyre…

36 Tami April 25, 2008 at 2:38 pm

I would love to read Pride and Prejudice. Thanks.

37 Timothy Sternberg April 25, 2008 at 2:59 pm

I love the classics.

38 kelli April 25, 2008 at 3:05 pm

I’ve not read either of these books. Isn’t that a shame? Don’t you want to help me out by sending them my way?

39 Ginny April 25, 2008 at 3:22 pm

Count me in, hopefully I’m not to late :)

40 Valerie April 25, 2008 at 3:30 pm

I want to read Pride and Prejudice-haven’t yet

41 Becky April 25, 2008 at 7:38 pm

These are two classics that I hate to admit I’ve never gotten around to reading! I’m sure, as you say, that I would love them. My mother- and sister-in-law both insist that I would, like you do! I’m excited to enter this contest, and hope I win! I’m on a big reading kick right now (well, in between entering Bloggy Giveaway contests, that is…).

42 Chrysa April 25, 2008 at 7:41 pm

I would love to win these. I have read both, but don’t have my own copies of either. Great prize! Thanks for the giveaway!
