THIS IS A STICKY POST. See below for more recent blog posts.
I am really excited for this literary blog hop hosted by LeeSwammes blog.
There was so much fun and excitement during the last literary giveaway bloghop that it really is a no-brainer that I am signing up again to give away books by two of my favorite writers.
It’s a fairly simple and straight-forward giveaway. This time I am giving away the following books to two lucky winners:
- Midnight’s Children – Salman Rushdie (for those who are wondering whether the Booker of Bookers prize winners is worth a read, here’s a no investment option to try.
- Istanbul – Orhan Pamuk
Participation Rules
I am just keeping it simple. Just leave a comment stating which book you would like to win and why. If you want extra points, you can choose to (meaning NOT MANDATORY :)) follow my blog, or my Twitter feed (nishmvk).
This giveaway is INTERNATIONAL. So, there’s nothing stopping you from participating. Just remember, it may take some time for the book to actually reach you.
Also, there are tons of great bloggers participating in the literary blog hop, so make sure you visit LeeSwammes blog to meet some really great bloggers giving away cool stuff
Happy blog hopping everyone! and Best of Luck to you all!
Note: June 29th is the last date for the giveaway! I will be posting the names of the winners on June 30th.
And you can find a complete list of book blog hop participants here:

Oh! I will be choosing the winners using a random generator 🙂

Hi Nishita, thanks for the great giveaway!
I’d like to read Midnight’s Children.
Hi Nishita:) Thanks for the great giveaway! I’ve already read Midnight’s Children, so I’d like to read “Istanbul – Orhan Pamuk”.

I would love to be entered to win Midnight’s Children, please. It has been my intention to read this book for quite a while now; thanks for the opportunity!
I am looking for girl with dragon tattoo.Please give me its link.
I would love to read either of the books. I read your review on Midnight’s Children and it sounded wonderful. But the other one sounds great too. Ok, so I can’t decide.
I recieve your reviews to my e-mail
I’d love to win Midnight’s Children!
I’m on the blog hop too, so I hope you’ll stop by! http://www.elle-lit.blogspot.com

Thank you for your generosity and for participating in this blog hop. I would love to read “Midnight’s Children” by Salman Rushdie because I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while, now, but never really got around to it. Although I must admit, both the options on your blog giveaway are amazing, but being as I am a huge fan of Orhan Pamuk (My name is Red is amongst my favorites of all time), and have read “Istanbul” – I thought it best to choose “Midnight’s Children”. Thank you for offering such a great selection of books, and thank you, again, for your generosity! 🙂

Thanks for the giveaway 🙂 hop on over to my blog for my literary blog hop giveaway too! Both books are wonderful, but I think I’ll choose Istanbul.
I’d love to give the Salman Rushdie a try…thanks!
I’d love to win Istanbul because I’ve long been meaning to read Orhan Pamuk but still haven’t. And I’d love to visit Istanbul someday.
I’ve added you to my Google Reader and followed on Twitter (@inspringthedawn).
Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for this.
If I win, I prefer Orhan Parmuk’s Istanbul. I am trying to restart my reading habits and would like to add the aforementioned title to my list.

Thank you for this possibility, I would like to enter for “Istanbul” because it’s a city that I always wanted to visit.
Both of these are on my TBR, and I would love to win either one! Thank-you for posting two excellent reads.

Midnight’s Children – Salman Rushdie. Haven’t read his work, I don’t think I’ve read any Indian fic in yonks and I’ve always been rather tickled by the fluidity of the kal, parso thing.
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

Hello I have read and adored Midnight’s Children, so i’d love to read Istanbul by Orham Pamuk. My email cerievans1@gmail.com.
I really want Midnight’s Children since though it seems long winding I’m really interested in India.
I’ve tried to read borrowed copies of Midnight’s Children twice and failed; maybe if I have my own I’ll be more successful!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Istanbul would be my first pick, looks very interesting!!

I just read my first Rushdie book this year, and it made me want to read more. Midnight’s Children seems to be a real favorite, so I’d love to give it a look.
I own a copy of this book, but I wanted to stop by and say Hi. I’m on the blog hop tour as well. Hope you have a chance to stop by, and will enter my giveaway.

Thank you for a wonderful giveaway! I have read these, so I’m going to opt out and let someone else win these.
My mother has been sick and I never got around to signing up to participate in the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop. But I’ve started a monthly giveaway on my blog and I’ve got a June Giveaway going on this month at my blog, and I’d love to invite you to stop by and throw your name in the hat for Anna and the French Kiss! It’s a US giveaway only this month, but next month, I’ll be offering an international giveaway for a $25 Amazon card!
If you follow me, let me know. I always follow back!
A no-investment shot at Midnight’s Children would be wonderful, thanks! I really want to like it and understand it, but I’m not sure it’ll work out that way so I’ve never taken the punge and bought a copy!

Do I have to choose? Both books are books I’d love to read, but I guess if I have to pick I’d say Istanbul. Pamuk is higher up my list than Rushdie.

What a wonderful giveaway! I’d really, really love to read Istanbul. I haven’t read Pamuk but have a copy of Snow for a book group next month and am very excited. I’m also very interested about Turkey and of the author’s life. Crossing my fingers on this.. Thanks so much for the chance!
Thank you for the giveaway and for opening it to worldwide entries.
Much appreciated.
Both books sound interesting but I haven’t read Rushdie for a while so I think I would pick Midnight’s Children – Salman Rushdie
