Giveaway: The Little Stranger and Summertime

After a small falling-out with DHL I’ve finally taken delivery of my bargainous Booker Shortlist parcel from The Book People. The joy of having snagged all six hardbacks for £35 is enough to soothe the after effects of trying to find out whether the box was in the depot or on the van or arriving today/tomorrow/three weeks on Tuesday.

It’s such a bargain, in fact, that it was still cheaper for me to get all six books when I already owned two of them than to go out and buy the other four separately. And this leaves me with two surplus tomes. You lucky, lucky people, I’ve decided to give them away to one of you.

The two books I’m giving away are The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters (my thoughts on the book here) and Summertime by J.M. Coetzee (which I haven’t read yet). So, names in the comments please, stating which book you want to be entered for (or both) and I’ll chose a winner on Monday. I’ll post to any country.

I’d also love to be entered for both books and I will happily refund you for the postage on the off chance that I win. You’re so lucky that all the Booker winners are out in the UK — and that you can order them in a bargain parcel like that!! I miss my London days…..

The Little Stranger is on my to-read list so I’d love to be entered into the draw for that one. Also, I love love LOVE The Book People!

Please enter me in the draw for Summertime – I’ve already bought, and read (and scared myself silly!), The Little Stranger. Thanks for the opportunity, Kirsty – but I’m still jealous that the Book People won’t post to Australia – although if they did, it might perhaps take months to arrive! Glad you finally got your parcel.

Please enter me for both books. I have read some Coetzee before but haven’t read anything by Waters. I am having a draw for some cool magnetic bookmarks over on my blog.

I received my Book People parcel a couple of weeks ago. Just wanted to reiterate what a bargain it is.
