Giveaway from Novel Adventures!!!

November 19, 2008 by Darlene

Put on your seatbelts folks! Have you all been watching the awesome Novel Adventures episodes from CBS.com I told you about a while back. If you haven’t, head on over and watch them! They’re great and fun to watch.

A little about the series:

Lizzie, Laura, Joanna, and Amy are decidedly uninterested in the pretentious book club they belong to, but they enjoy the time away from their families. Determined to take their ‘us’-time and enjoy it, they decide to use the books as inspiration. It’s great to read about amazing lives, but these girls are ready to live them.

And so, the four women start a new kind of book club, picking a “novel adventure” for each book. Each meeting is an opportunity for discovery, freedom, and fun. The adventure is just the beginning.

The novels that the women are adventuring through are:

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

          Girls Like Us by Sheila Weller

            The Bourne Sanctionby Robert Ludlum

            Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston

            The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn

            Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

            Life So Far by Betty Friedan

            The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer&Annie Barrows

            Knit Two by Kate Jacobs

            The most awesome thing is that ONE lucky winner can win all nine of these books! Yup, that’s right-all nine books. If you’d like to be entered, here are the rules:

            • For one entry, leave me a comment
            • For a second entry, blog about this giveaway and spread the word(please leave me a link back to your post)

            This giveaway is only open to US residents only. You have until November 30 to enter. Please ensure you leave an email address so I have a way of contacting you. I will draw for a winner on December 1-the perfect way to start a new month and a holiday month. New Media Strategies will be shipping the winner their set of books.

            Many thanks go to CBS and Novel Adventures for providing these books for this awesome giveaway.

              Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston looks most interesting to me. I've read some of his other work. Gone With the Wind I've read, of course. Any self-respecting southerner such as myself has read both the Gone With the Wind books and seen the movie countless times. Here in Alabama alot of high schools require you to watch the movie.And The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer&Annie Barrows looks like it would be good. It will be interesting to see how the series handles each of these novel adventures.
