This contest is now closed.
It is official! ”The River, By Moonlight,” was the 100th review I have published on my blog!
Yay!!!
To celebrate, I want to share with some of my loyal readers some of the wonderful books I have read since starting this blog.
Before I show you all of the books you can win, here are the rules:
- There will be anywhere between one and five winners a total of six seven eight winners, depending on the number of entrants. I will give away one prize up to the first 20 people who enter (separate people, not the number of entries). Two prizes for up to 30, three for up to 40, four for up to 50, five for anything over 50. I am adding an extra book for every additional 25 entrants. We just hit 75 100 125, so now there are 16 17 18 books available to 6 7 8 people (two three four will get one book each). So, get other people to enter, it will actually increase your chances.
- First place prize will be a grab-bag of 5 books, second prize 4, third prize 3, fourth prize 2, fifth, and sixth, and seventh, and eighth prize 1 book.
- To enter: Leave a message ON THIS POST ONLY telling me your top two picks from the list (I will try to give all winners at least one of their choices, but no promises).
- For additional entries: Blog about this contest for an extra 3 chances to win. If you don’t have a blog, send an email to 5 people about this contest and blind copy me at devourers.books(at)gmail.com for those same three extra chances.
- For MORE additional entries: Every comment left on a book review or a banned book spotlight post AFTER you enter here, you will get another entry.
- Shipping: I will ship these books internationally, but I can only ship in the international flat rate package. I may have to send you either fewer books or thinner books, but I will send you as much as I can.
- This contest will close Wednesday, October 15th.
Okay, okay, enough of the rules! I’m sure at this point you want to know what you can win! Five of these books are hardback, I would love to send one to each winner, because (with the exception of The Other Queen), these are all books that I had to go to Half Price Books and buy for this contest, because I was absolutely not willing to give them up. Please click on the book titles to read reviews. ”The best Place to Be” and “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society” do not have reviews posted yet.
Hardcovers:
Paperbacks:
Due to a much larger response than I expected (75 entrants in little more than 48 hours), I am adding another book to the pile, which means there will now be six winners, two of whom will each be getting one book. The new book I’m adding is this one (click on the cover for my review):
If we make it to 100 entrants, I will find yet another book to add and add one more 5th place winner.
Okay, so we made 100 24 hours later. Here’s the next title:
We have finally reached 125 people entering, so here’s the next title:
If another 25 people enter, I’ll have to figure something else out!

That’s a lot of reviews, sounds like you’re having fun though. My top two picks would have to be ‘American Savior’ by Roland Merullo and ‘The Other Queen’ by Philippa Gregory. Merullo’s ‘American Savior’ looks to be especially amusing.
Congrats! The Other Queen and The Last Queen look interesting.
What a cool givaway! Without a doubt my two choices would be Guernsey and Sarah’s Key. A lot of the others look wonderful too. You can find my post about your contest here:

I will be blogging about this contest on my blog within the next few days.
http://redladysreadingroom-redlady.blogspot.com/
I would love The Last Queen and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society!
Congratulations on your 100th review! That is quite an achievement! You’re an inspiration.
I love historical fiction, and I just got a new student to tutor in literacy who happens to be a young man recently arrived from Istanbul, so I’d be very interested in getting “The Aviary Gate.” Another novel that I think would be good is “The Last Queen.”
BTW, I enjoyed your review of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” When I read it first back in I think the 70s, it really got to me. What an amazing novel from an amazing author.
Great contest! My top 2 choices are Sweetsmoke and Sarah’s Key.
Oh, yeah, I’ll post about this contest on both my blogs at http://storeetllrsanythingblog.blogspot.com and http://justonemorepageblog.blogspot.com.
This is such an awesome giveaway! Here’s where I posted about it on my blog: http://heatherlo.wordpress.com/2008/09/29/winner-of-matrimony-and-some-other-giveaway-news/
and my top two would be The Last Queen and Sarah’s Key.
regina’s closet and creeper sound really good! thanks for the opportunity!
Congratulations on a great achievement! It will be a long long time before I get up to 100 reviews on my blog!
I would love to be entered in your giveaway, and my selections would be Sweetsmoke and Sarah’s Key.
I have recently read The Last Queen and would recommend it to anyone that has a penchant for historical fiction, particularly of the Tudor period, as it is wonderful to see a shadowy figure that gets passing mention in other books, get a chance to tell her own tale.
My top 2 picks would be: Eleanor and Ike, and The River By Moonlight. Thanks!
Congrats on 100 reviews! And on hosting a great giveaway.
My top two choices: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and Sarah’s Key.
