  1. Woo-hoo! Isn't this exciting!? I'm having so much fun. lol

    Uhm, hm, yes, I don't even have to go far - I would definitely love to win a copy of Room by E. Donoghue! It's been on my "need to buy" list since its release.

    Thanks for the chance!

  4. Tough choices! Thankfully, I have already read Room so it wasn't as hard of a choice as it could have been :)

    I just read your reviews of all three books. I like the way they give me a good sense of each book but are still concise. =)

    Room was the only one I had heard of before I visited your blog, but based on your descriptions, I choose A Novel Bookstore. (Well, okay, what I'd really choose is War and Peace--but I think you picked these three for a reason and am happy to let you guide me.)

    Thanks for this chance!

  9. Great idea to let people choose just any book from your blog. I had a browse around and found a lot of good books. But when I saw "The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill" I knew this would be my choice!

  66. Oh! Emma Donoghue's Room has been on my wish-list for ages! Well, ever since it came on the Booker short list anyway. ;) And I see it was one of your top 10 books of 2010! I had a look around, but I really really really would like Room.

    My international literary giveaway is up too -- are you in for some nineteen eighties nostalgia?

    ReplyDelete
  67. I can't believe I've never discovered your blog before! It's always great to find bloggers who mix fantastic novels with fascinating non-fiction - I've come away with a heap of new books for my wishlist already... :-)

    Anyway, I'd love to read 'And the Show Went on: Cultural Life in Nazi-Occupied Paris'. Thanks for the giveaway!

  68. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows is a book I definitely want to read. I've visited Guernsey a number of years ago and fell in love with the place. And like you, I enjoy reading about WWII. I grew up reading stories from my own country, but later realized a lot of other European countries have their own stories to share.
