The Literary Giveaway Blog Hop


Hey, you know what time it is? Time for me to give away another book!
Since I gave away a zillion books a week or so ago (this was not the best thought out of my actions) I'm just giving away one book today to one extremely lucky winner, cause you know what that book is?
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins! (The internet didn't have any big pictures of it, which is why the cover is all blurry and all. Stupid internet). I only discovered WILKIE (as he is so epic that he can only be referred to in all capitals) this year and already I've read 3 of his books and he's a firm favourite of mine. The Woman in White was my first, so if you've never read WILKIE before then this is an awesome, nay, the only place to start.

I know you're dying to read it now, so here's what you have to do. Don't worry about being a follower or anything like that (although, you know, don't feel like you can't follow... do what your heart tells you to) but leave me a comment with your email address (seriously, if you don't leave your email address, I'm not even entering you, because that shit tires me out) and some kind of reason why you're awesome and so will be able to appreciate the awesomeness of this book. Sounds good? I know. A free book! *ADDS* This giveaway is open internationally, and will close at 12pm on 31st October (known in the normal world as Halloween).

Annnnd, that's about all I have to tell you! Make sure you go and visit all the other giveaways, and have fun hopping! Over and out.

    As someone who is trying to read more classics and hasn't read any WILKIE I'm entering! Why am I awesome? Because I'm Canadian and we're all awesome! (Though I think that statement also goes against every sense of Canadian humility.)

    I haven't read Wilkie Collins yet (gasp!) but I have two books on my TBR. I'm sure that list will grow.
    How can I justify being awesome in a comment? This would take some effort. I'll just throw in some words and hope one of them is good enough. English major. Harry Potter lover. Member of The Classics Club. Writer. I live with Severus Snape.

    Have read this book, so please, don't enter me just here to say Hi'
    Funny

    What's it like to be a human
    the bird asked

    I myself don't know
    it's being held prisoner by your skin
    while reaching infinity
    being a captive of your scrap of time
    while touching eternity
    being hopelessly uncertain
    and helplessly hopeful
    being a needle of frost
    and a handful of heat
    breathing in the air
    and choking wordlessly
    it's being on fire
    with a nest made of ashes
    eating bread
    while filling up on hunger
    it's dying without love
    it's loving through death

    That's funny said the bird
    and flew effortlessly up into the air.

    For someone who has read a lot of crime, mystery, and suspense books, I'm ashamed to admit I haven't read Wilkie Collins' works! And he has been taunting me for quite a while now! (Oh man!)

    Have you read Drood by Dan Simmons? It's a fictional story told by Wilkie Collins about Dickens. It was very good. I've been curious about Wilie's work since reading that book.

    As a brand new follower, I like your posts. Wilkie Collins is a author that I keep circling around;knowing that its a classic must read and then I get sidetracked by other classics that I read(Hemingway, Capote(love the short story about fruit cakes) so now to get a chance to discover Wilkie Collins through your suggestion to read "Woman in White" would settle me and satisfy my desire to enjoy a classic. I appreciate the chance to have a copy come to me! I am a reader. I promote reading by sharing books and am pro-Library in these economic shakey times. I am sad when the Library budgets are slashed and hours cut and employees work less hours. I believe reading is the key to success.
