Hachette Book Group has offered to giveaway a set of FIVE novels to each of two readers of my blog.
From left to right those books are:
The Heretic’s Daughter By Kathleen Kent ISBN: 031602449X (my review)
Sins of the Flesh By Caridad Piñeiro ISBN: 0446543837
The Historian By Elizabeth Kostova ISBN: 0316070637 (my review)
BoneMan’s Daughters By Ted Dekker ISBN: 1599951959
When Ghosts Speak By Mary Ann Winkowski ISBN: 044658133X
In addition, 20 winners of these giveaways around blogland will be randomly selected to win The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker ISBN: 1599951967
Normally I don’t participate in these giveaways because I don’t agree with giving away books I haven’t read, but I have read and very much enjoyed two of these books, so I decided I would like to share them with my readers. I will be getting one of these packs of books for review, so expect to see reviews of some of these.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to run this contest and guarantee that you all get these books in time for Halloween, so instead I’m going to make it a birthday present from me to you, and will run the contest through 11:59 PM Central on my birthday, November 5th.
As Hachette is sending these books out, I must limit the contest to US and Canada, no PO Boxes.
To win, leave me a comment telling me your favorite Halloween read. You will NOT be entered if you do not do this.
For additional entries, blog or tweet about this contest and leave me an additional comment telling me you have done so. I will be using Random.org to pick a number to correspond with a comment, so if you fail to leave an additional comment, you will not have an additional entry.

This is a great giveaway.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and this year I am very excited to read Dracula for the first time (don’t know how I haven’t read it sooner). So for this year, it’s my favorite Halloween read.

My favorite Halloween reads are historical mysteries. This year I’m finally going to read the Mary Russell series by Laurie R. King. I love her contemporary mysteries!
My newest favorite Halloween book is The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe. AND, my birthday is November 4 (looking down the barrel of 40). I also re-tweeted.
I tweeted too! http://twitter.com/nomadreader/statuses/5017996273

My favorite book to read for Halloween this year was Her Fearful Symmetry. Such a great book!
.-= Stephanie´s last blog ..Teaser Tuesday: Twilight =-.
My favorite Halloween read is The Historian. Dracula! Creepy!
Ok, Ok…I’m entering!
I have to narrow it down to ONE Halloween read? Hmm..that’s difficult, since horror is my favorite genre. So…I’ll have to say The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. It’s a “classic” horror, the kind I prefer.
My favourite read would be The Time of the Witches.
Please enter me to win.
hmmm..anything by Dean Koontz…let’s say Odd Thomas, one of his more recent. He writes creepy, in a good way, stuff.
Great giveaway…my favorite spine chiller will always be The Shining; s. King

An oldie but goodie: “Turn of the Screw.”
And I’m old enough that I don’t tweet or twit or whatever!
My favorite Halloween read is It by Stephen King
Hmmm! I don’t really have a favorite Halloween read, but this is my favorite month to read because I LOVE Halloween! I do love the Lily Dale series by Wendy Corsi Staub and so far the Discovering book is my favorite Halloween read this year…does that count?!
I love this giveaway! Spooky stories are so much fun! Stephen King and Dean Koontz are always good for a scare. The Shining is a favorite book and movie and I’m still afraid of it. Thanks for your contest!
My favorite Halloween read is The Shining.

Oh, great giveaway! I’m another Stephen King fan so I’ll say Cujo. Such a compact, chilling story. I read in Stephen King’s book On Writing that he was on so many drugs that he didn’t even remember writing it. When he finally got clean, he went back and re-read it.
What a great giveaway! I would love to win these books. My favorite Halloween book is probably Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. It scares the heck out of me! I also love Washington Irving’s “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and Poe’s short stories.
Thanks!
I generally don’t think about books to read for Halloween, but when I read The Graveyard Book, it seemed perfect for this time of year. Also I just finished Her Fearful Symmetry which would also be a good read for Halloween.
What a great giveaway! I love Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, it’s a creepy, scary-good Halloween story!
Thank you for this wonderful giveaway.

Hmmm…very difficult to determine a favorite Halloween-ish read, but The Tommyknockers by Stephen King really creeps me out.
I tweeted about your giveaway.
Halloween read: The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. Creepy!

My favorite Halloween reads are R.L. Stein’s YA novels. I haven’t read them in at least a decade but they were pretty scary then.
Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite Halloween books to read to my Kindergarten students are Trick or Treat? and The Big Pumpkin. My favorite adult read is The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe.
I guess my favorite Halloweenish type book would be Cabinet of Curiosities.

My favorite Halloween read is The Thirteenth Tale, which I just read. I’m about to start reading The Graveyard Book, so that might or might not displace it– Recent is a big contributor to favorite!
.-= Laura´s last blog ..Review: The Financial Lives of the Poets by Jess Walter =-.
My favorite Halloween read would be Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend. Lightyears better than the movie and has a very cool ending.
Without a doubt, Stephen King’s “The Shining” is my all-time favorite scary read! It was the very first King novel I read when I was a teen and it haunted me long after I finished. The movie still really creeps me out after all these years — I have to be in a certain frame of mind to watch it!
Great giveaway!
Thanks for the entry!

Rosemary’s Baby was a good creepy read and a good movie! Thanks for the giveaway
I also tweeted about the giveaway. Thanks
I love Agatha Christie mysteries….I realize those are a bit ‘tame’…
I also enjoy Daphne Du Maurier and Wilkie Collins, which I realize are more old-school. (But classics!)
I also posted this on my sidebar at twoandahalfbooklovers.blogspot.com
Thanks!
Some of my favorite scary reads are Jeffery Deaver’s Lincoln Rhyme series. Especially The Bone Collector. The movie was creepy too!
