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.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but right now I’m reading Dismantled by Jennifer McMahon and it’s pretty good for this time of year!
Thanks for entering me!
My favorite scary read is “The Red Scream” by Mary Willis Walker . . . although it doesn’t have anything to do with Halloween, exactly. I guess my favorite Halloween based story would have to be “Halloween” — the one that the film was based on (or was written as a companion to the film, not sure which came first). I went through a phase of buying books that were based on films, and I can remember that this one really scared me!

It by Stephen King

Can I really pick a favorite? I don’t know, a few of them by Stephen King but if I had to pick one it would probably be “‘Salem’s Lot”. What a great giveaway!

I don’t have a favorite Halloween read yet, but
will if I win.
I would love to win this giveaway.
Please enter me into this awesome contest. My favorite Halloween read is probably Pet Sematary by Stephen King. I’m currently reading Twilight. While it isn’t scary (yet?), I am enjoying the book.

My fav Halloween read is Bram Stoker’s Dracula
It’s not a Halloween book, per se, but Circle of Souls was pretty creepy for me! I stayed up late to finish it and then had to start reading another book so as to not have nightmares.
My Happy Pumpkin!

This is a children’s Halloween read, but a big favourite of mine: The Berenstain Bears Go on a Ghost Walk
My favourite Halloween read would be the entire set of Harry Potter books! Although they aren’t really Halloween books, they’re the closest thing I’ve ever read to a Halloween book and I enjoyed every one of them. I would love to be entered in your draw.
My favorite read is It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
My favorite Halloween read has got to be the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. This is an awesome giveaway.

I enjoyed The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe, set in Salem and has some witchcraft and ancestors affected by the Salem Witch Trials. The author is actual descended from 2 participants of the Salem Witch Trials.

Dracula. Best novel ever in the horror/suspense genre.
I just finished reading king’s christine again – you can’t go wrong with any of his novels this time of year!
great contest!
My favorite Halloween read is Elizabeth Kostova’s “This Historian”. I read it last year at this time and it was perfect for fall and Halloween. In fact, I almost re-read it this year because I couldn’t find anything else that looked like it might fill the bill. Keeping my fingers crossed to be the lucky winner of the cool set of books you have listed above, though…
