Despite the dozens of ARCs I’ve managed to read, I have not been able to get to them all. I’ve decided to send many of them on to other book bloggers who may be able to get to them faster than I. Here’s a list of those ARCs:
|
Pictures from Italy |
Charles Dickens |
|
Guernica |
Dave Boling |
|
The Good Thief |
Hannah Tinti |
|
The Terminal Spy |
Alan S. Cowell |
|
Descartes’ Bones |
Russell Shorto |
|
The Grift |
Debra Ginsburg |
|
The Triumph of Deborah |
Eva Etzioni-Halevy |
|
A Thousand Veils |
D.J. Murphy |
|
Lighting the Dark Side |
William Potter |
|
To Catch the Lightning |
Alan Cheuse |
I am giving all 28 of the books away! I’ll giveaway the ones I’ve read with no conditions. I’d like to giveaway the ones I haven’t read to book blog owners interested in reviewing them. Most of the books are ARCs – not in final published form. Most of them are paperback. Some of them are signed. Some of them are signed to me.
So, here’s how it’ll work:
1. To enter, leave a comment here with your top three choices in order of preference.
2. If you’d like to win a book that I haven’t reviewed, please include a link to your blog in your comment as a commitment to review the book once you’ve read it.
3. To receive two additional entries, post about the giveaway on your blog and leave the link in a comment.
4. Open to anyone with a book blog – even international residents.
5. Enter by December 12, 2008. I’ll hold the drawing and post the winners by December 15, 2008.
Good luck!
