Hide your mantitty, or bring it out and paint it magenta, because it's giveaway time! Today I have copies of Cecilia Grant's A Woman Entangled – ( A | BN | K | S | iB ) plus a grand prize:
Embroider your own Darcy!
No, really. You can entangle yourself with the silken threads of cross stitch Darcy:
Well, the kit, anyway, with the cloth, thread, pattern, needles, and all the other tangly things you need to stitch your own Darcy.
The tangled Darcy was provided by Anna Cowan, who with a bunch of other awesome people are gathering online to promote the book's release this week. The grand prize is tangled Darcy embroidery kit (it won't arrived tangled – I promise not to let my cats anywhere near it) and a copy of A Woman Entangled in your choice of formats. Four runners up will also receive a copy of A Woman Entangled, also in their choice of formats. Mr. Darcy will receive cross stitching.
Would you like to enter? I hope so! To enter, please leave a comment telling us about item that to anyone else might seem insignificant, but is very meaningful for you. Like, say, embroidery of cravat-wearing fictional characters.
The comments will close Sunday 30 June 2013 at 12noon ET, and I'll pick the winners that day. Standard disclaimers apply: void where prohibited. I am not being compensated for this giveaway. Open to interational residents to the extent permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18 years of age and wearing a cravat or diving in a lake to win. Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear. Depth perception is important. Close cover before striking. Do not remove tag under penalty of law. The penalty mentioned heretofore is probably one righteous lecture from a romance hero named Law.
A Woman Entangled is about second chances – both socially and emotionally – and wanting to do the right thing for someone , even if that means setting aside how one feels. And because it's written by Cecilia Grant, it's also about moments that would seem insignificant to anyone else, but are layered and wealthy with meaning and importance for the characters within them.
I hope, if you win a copy, you enjoy the book! Good luck!
My grandmother gave me a ceramic cat..it sits in my hallway and greets me whenever I walk into my home. It’s like she’s greeting me
Good stationary. Like nice pens from Japan, or heavy card stock thank you cards. Embossers and stamps, oh my! 🙂
Totally apropos to this post, but one of my most treasured books (because books are my most treasured possessions) is a tattered old copy of Pride & Prejudice. It’s an edition with an excellent foreword. I know most people skip those, but it really helped me understand the themes and characters in the book in a way I never had so fully with any other book before. It’s one of my yearly rereads 4EVA.
I have my grandfather’s baby dress. He was born in 1911. I miss him every day.
There are two things that have traveled with me everywhere – my first editions of Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island and Anne of Avonlea books – a great-great aunt was a friend of LMM and was given them when the books came out: and my grandfather’s signet ring – he would let me ‘wear’ it when I was little and playing dress up – I thought then it was better than all the sparkles in the world..now it always reminds me of him – and the time we had together.
What a lovely idea –
