The Literary Giveaway Blog Hop Starts Today

Literary Giveaway Blog Hop
Literary Giveaway Blog Hop

It’s that time of the year again. Yep, bloghop time.

This is a blog hop for literary books hosted by Judith, and with about 50 bloggers offering to give away their favorite literary fiction reads.

As usual, I will be giving away two recent favorites. My book options are:

  • Sense of an Ending – Julian Barnes (see my posts here and here)
  • On Chesil Beach – Ian McEwan (review here)

I read both these books in the hopes of making a dent in my Man Booker reading project and I loved both of them. I don’t have the heart to part from these books, and so the winner of the giveaway is going to get a new copy either from The Book Depository or Amazon, whichever makes more sense depending on pricing and shipping.

Rules of the Giveaway

There are no rules. The giveaway is international. Extra points will be awarded to those who choose to follow my blog or my twitter, but following is not mandatory.

Just leave a comment on my blog letting me know which book you would like to read. I will select 2 winners using a random number generator on Thursday Nov 1st. After contacting the winners, I will announce the winners on my blog by next weekend.

If these books don’t rock your boat, try some of the other giveaways listed here…you are sure to find something right up your alley.

  21. says: Abby

    Oh dear I have no idea which to pick! I wouldn’t mind either really. But for now I’d just say On Chesil Beach just because I’ve watched Atonement? Does that count?

    ORIGINS – Keorapetse Kgositsile

    deep in your cheeks
    your specific laughter owns
    all things south of the ghosts
    we once were. straight ahead

    the memory beckons from the future
    you and I a tribe of colours
    this song that dance
    godlike rhythms to birth
    footsteps of memory
    the very soul aspires to.

    Songs of origins songs of constant beginnings
    what is this thing called
    love

    Both of these books are on my wish list so should you draw my name you can pick one for me! I’d be happy either way. Thanks for hosting an international giveaway.
    I’m a follower of yours on Twitter and through Google Reader.

  29. says: ruby

    I feel to under-read when I see the name of McEwan and have never even held any of his books in my hands! Thank you for this opportunity!

  30. says: Ellie Potten (@Bookshop_Girl)

    Oooh, excellent choices! I already have On Chesil Beach, but I’ve been wanting to read The Sense of an Ending for months so that would definitely be my giveaway pick… Thank you very much for the chance to win!

  31. Ooh! I’ve been wanting to read Sense of an Ending since I read a review at the beginning of the year. For some reason I still haven’t gotten around to buying it – So I’d love to win that one! Thanks 🙂

  32. says: Alana Bevan

    Please and thank you, I’d love to enter! Discovered your blog through the giveaway list from leeswammes and now following you on the Google Reader! I’d appreciate being entered for the Barnes – have already got and read On Chesil Beach and was completely undone by it, but I suppose hoarding additional copies of it would not be any kind of appropriate homage to its accomplishments! Thank you!

    Hello! I enjoy that there are no rules in your giveaway, cause the rules? I do not like them. I’d love to read On Chesil Beach, because I have mixed feelings about McEwan, that I think I need to sort out by reading some more of his books! (I’ve only read 2 so far and… yeah. I don’t know!)

  38. says: anarmchairbythesea

    Hi,great giveaway! I’d love Sense of an Ending as it’s been on my wishlist for a while!!:-)

  41. says: Rimali Batra

    Hey!
    This idea is new to me and is indeed fantastic! Could you let me know – how this exactly works? I loved some books listed under points 2, 15, 19 and 44. Thanks..

    1. says: Nish

      @Rimali: I am offering On Chesil Beach or The Sense of an Ending. If you are interested in either of these books, just leave a comment stating which one you want.

      If you are interested in the books offered by the other bloggers, you need to leave a comment on their blogs as per the instructions on their giveaway posts.

      All the best 🙂

      1. says: Rimali Batra

        Hey Nish, Thanks. 🙂 Reading your reviews is almost like reading the book itself.
