I know you all like cute bags and book shopping, and with the response to prior giveaways involving books and bags, and with the most excellent results of sale shopping, I have another Kate Spade tote and a bookstore giftcard to give away!
(I’ll be honest – it’s really fun to plan giveaways and pick out things that I am pretty sure you’ll be excited about.)
I have a very cute Kate Spade tote bag, the Gallery Drive Small Harmony in multi – which is a print made of overlapping grey and pink polka dots on a black background.
Isn’t it adorable? And it’s plenty big to hold all sorts of necessary things. Here are the official specs:
- 9.9″ (25.14cm) high x 11.9″ (30.22cm) wide x 6.2″ (15.74cm) deep
- handle drop is 9″ (that’s the space between the top of the handle and the top of the bag itself – and that’s plenty of room to put this tote over your shoulder)
- it’s not leather – it’s glazed fabric so it’s sturdy enough to stand up on its own, but not too heavy to carry
And, since there’s plenty of room inside, I’m including a $50.00 giftcard to the bookstore of the winner’s choosing. Woo! Fill it with books! All the books!
Standard disclaimers apply: I’m not being compensated for this giveaway except that I got to go shopping online which means I didn’t have to wear shoes or real pants. Void where prohibited. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18 and ready to carry some or all of the things, including the books you like best. Stop drop and roll. In the event of an actual clearance sale, all items will be immediately placed in the shopping cart and all discount codes available worldwide will be automatically applied (wouldn’t that be nice). Mind the gap and the handle drop, too. Comments will close Friday 8 July 2016 and winner announced same day. Please note that due to international travel, prize will be shipped after July 16, 2016.
Ready to enter? Leave a comment and let me know what book you’d buy first if you won. Good luck!
ETA: We have a winner: Peggy H! Congratulations, Peggy, and thank you to everyone who entered!
If I won, I would probably buy something by Brenda Novak. I’ve yet to read anything by her, and my mother-in-law really enjoys her books, so as we ofen swap books, I’d like to try a book by Ms. Novak.
I’ve been wanting to read The Rose and the Dagger forever! I also might buy one of the pretty classics floating around at B&N. I work nights at a psych hospital, so there’s some nights where I literally sit in a dark room for 12 hours and fly through books. I normally buy my books at dollar day at the thrift store, so it’d be nice to have something new!
LOL I am never going to ask to the follow the comments on another giveaway. My goodness, so many people would love to have the bag and the gift card!!!
I would buy In the Labyrinth of Drakes by Marie Brennan
The newest Jill Mansell read – You and Me, Always!
I would get the sixth Saga book. I’ve really been looking forward to the next installment! Though I’m still curious about Outlander too…
My son’s birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Despite being a total computer nerd and proponent of all things electronic, he still loves reading actual, physical books. So, I would keep the bag for me :), but I would use the gift card to buy him some real books. Maybe replace his LOTR series, which is falling apart…
I have quite the to-read list. But I’d probably go all geek and get a couple of librarianship and management books I’ve been eyeing. Those suckers are expensive. Specifically “Using OpenRefine”, “Linked Data for Libraries, Archives, and Museums”, “The Courageous Follower”, or “The Art of Followership”. Yeah. I need help. This is why I read romance novels. My brain needs a break. 😉
Or I’ll go nuts on my B&N romance ebook wish list(s) and get ALL the paranormal/shapeshifter books I’ve been eyeing for months…
I would buy Kat Howard’s Roses and Rot. Thanks for the great giveaway!
SO MANY BOOKS TO CHOOSE FROM! But right now, after listening to several recent podcasts in which this book was mentioned, I think I would purchase both “Nuts” and “Cream of the Crop” by Alice Clayton
The Summer Bride by Anne Gracie
I just finished Dirty by Kylie Scott and loved it… but I borrowed it from the library so I would love to buy it and read it over and over again.
I would buy Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty.
If I’m going to put it in the bag, it’d be a new Kindle (the battery on my ancient one is finally dying). And then the first ebook I’d load would be Penric and the Shaman by Lois McMaster Bujold.
That bag is super cute! I’d get the new Charlie Davidson book The Curse of 10th Grave first!
Ooh my tbr list is miles long but I think I would pick One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It seems like the perfect summer read and I’ve seen nothing but rave reviews. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d buy the newest Harry Potter book, and then finish off my collection by getting books 1-4 in hardback so that they all match.
Cute bag! Haven’t read the comments, so maybe this has been mentioned. I’d buy “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu: And Their Race to Save the World’s Most Precious Manuscripts” by Joshua Hammer. It’s about the successful effort to save materials from Al Qaeda How often do you get to read about bad-ass librarians, archivists and historians?
I’d buy any book by Elizabeth Hoyt! Or Elizabeth Boyle. Or Eloisa James… SO hard to choose only one!
I really enjoyed your chat with Shelly Laurenston, so I’d buy The Unleashing. And Heroine Complex 🙂
I would get a Catherine McKenzie book, haven’t gotten to all of them yet.
Love that bag too!
I would buy The Girl from Summer Hill and Sweetbitter.
I’d buy “Named of the Dragon” by Susanna Kearsley. I love her books but they are sort of pricey. I’m also keen to try some Lisa Kleypas, whom I’ve never read. I’m a teacher on summer break and so far most of what I’ve read is in the vein of picture books to my daughter.
The essential new York times cookbook! I covet it.
Every heart a doorway
I have been wanting to buy that book.
I would buy as many Kristen Ashley books in paperback as I could. Love her.
Hm. Hamiltome for hubby, or NK Jemison’s Obelisk Gate, because the first book only partially destroyed me.
I’d buy the latest Anna Huber!
I’d probably buy Anna Lee Huber’s newest book – As Death Draws Near – and then I’d pick up all of the Anatomist’s Wife books!! Love them all and I am a sucker for owning books.
I would buy Luckiest Girl Alive
That is a tough question. I think the most recent Delphin Dryden, I love her nerdiness in her books.
Probably Owl and the Japanese Circus by Kristi Charish. I’ve heard good things, and love a good being-forced-to-steal-things-and-save-the-country/world plot line.
OHH I recently moved and lost my copy of World War Z, so that might be the first..
The new Darynda Jones! The Curse of the Tenth Grave… I’m dying to know what happens to Charley.
Oooh, is everything an option? 🙂 I would probably pre-order the new Hyperbole and a Half book, and the new Tana French, and then finish off the Kingdom of Cello series by Jaclyn Moriarty which I adore.
Perhaps the new Jill Shalvis!
My first purchase would be Cream of the Crop!
I’d get one of the new releases on my list, The Woman in the Photo, by Mary Hogan.
Complete Calvin & Hobbes
I’d buy Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld and I’d also buy You’ll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein (a series of essays by Amy Schumer’s head writer for her show).
