It’s Literary Giveaway Bloghop Time

literarybloghopYay, it’s blog hop time. I am participating in the literary giveaway bloghop hosted by Judith from Leeswammes’ Blog.

I am a little late prepping my giveaway post. Sorry about that.

Here are the books I am giving away in this blog hop:

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a book I read a couple years ago and liked very much. It’s a bit grim but beautifully written.

In Custody by Anita Desai is a book I finished today. It’s not a new book, it made it into the Man Booker short list in 1984.

I don’t have a review up, but it’s a lovely humorous tale of a man trying to interview a famous poet. It’s humor makes a pleasant juxtaposition against the grimness of The Road.

    Thanks for the the giveaway! I’ve been on the fence about reading The Road, but know I’ll read it one of these days.

  2. ikkinlala

    Those both look interesting (although I’m a bit surprised that I haven’t read The Road yet).

  3. Isi

    Both books look great; I knew The road, but I still haven’t read it, and In custody is new to me.
    Thank you very much for the giveaway!

  4. Say Yap

    Im so excited.Thanks for the amazing giveaway.Would love to win The Road.

  5. Ciska van der Lans

    That are some interesting books. Would love the chance to win The Road!

  6. Kara S

    These are such different books (from what I know of them) — what an intriguing decision you give to the winning reader! Really, these literary blog hops are a special treat for fans of that kind of fiction like me. Thanks so much for giving us this opportunity. Cheers, Kara S

    Both these books sound interesting and I need to get a different genre in the between all my romance and historical books.

  8. Reno

    I read The Road abut four years ago and really enjoyed it but I don’t own a copy. In Custody also sounds like a fun read. Thanks for the giveaway!

  9. Courtney Whisenant

    Great choices! I’ve heard great things about both books but haven’t read either 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

  10. Jenna

    Thanks for the giveaway! I still need to read The Road – nice choice!

  11. mastbrat

    I’ve had The Road on my list since the beginning of the year when a friend recommended it

    to me. I need to get it!

  12. Candiss

    I really need to get to The Road. I tried to read it a few years ago, but I couldn’t get into it. I’ve been told many times that if I stick with it I’ll be riveted, so I really want to give it another try.

    Thanks for hosting this!

    I was late with my first Literary Blog Hop post two times ago, was accidentally early last time due to a scheduling mistake, and this time I was right on time but somehow disabled comments so no one could enter my giveaway for a while. I may need to give up on participating, but I love the books that people post about for this hop!
    I have read several books by Anita Desai, but In Custody doesn’t sound familiar. I have tried The Road and didn’t get into it, but maybe having my own copy would make all the difference!

  14. seeword

    OK, The Road is on my SHR (Should Have Read) list. In Custody seems like a nice change of pace.

  15. Martine

    Loved The Road, what an enthralling book. Also love Anita Desai so would enjoy reading ‘in Custody’ . thanks for the giveaway.

  16. Michelle Willms

    I love the way the two books you’ve selected complement each other. They both sound interesting to me. I’m really interested in reading the humor demonstrated by the author of In Custody.

  17. Denise Duvall

    Thank you for the giveaway. Both of these authors are new to me.

  18. Elizabeth

    Thank you for the give away. I look forward to following you on twitter!

  19. Gaby Metivier

    Great giveaway, thanks!! 😀 I really liked the movie The Road, so the book must be even better

  20. Judy Cox

    Both of these books look very interesting, I have never heard of either, but I enjoy reading different kinds of books.

  21. Lianne

    Thanks for hosting this wonderful giveaway! Great choices; I’ve never heard of Anita Desai’s book until your post and it sounds fantastic =D

  22. guiltlessreading

    I discovered Anita Desai only after I’d read Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss, and then realized she was Kiran’s mother!

  23. Tanya M

    I’ve read neither of these. Thanks for the chance to win! Hope you stop by my giveaway as well if you are in the US.

    Interviewing a poet could be entertaining…the idea already has me smiling.
