Bloggy Giveaway: Two Classic Books

by Chilihead on April 24, 2008

in Carnival

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.

I would love to have these books, as jane Austen is one of my favorite authors…I already own all versions of Pride and Prejudice in movie form. You have great give aways right now!

Will you still love me if I say I have never read either of these books? However, I LOVE to read so this would be a perfect thing for me to win.
BTW, my life is completely insane right now, so I am sorry I didn’t participate in the carnival this time. Didn’t even know it was happening until yesterday! Oh Well, next time for sure.

I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t read either of these books, so I would love to win this. It’s sad, because I’m an avid reader, I just forget to read the classics!!
Great giveaway! Thanks for offering!

While these classics are on my reading list, I’ve never actually read them yet.. so I can’t tell you what I like most about them! While I don’t currently reside in the US, I do have a US address. You decide if that counts!
