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!


I’d go for Allegiance of Honor. I’m so excited to read that one!
that bag looks like it would hold a LOT of books!
if I win, I’ll buy Kings Rising (book 3 of C. S. Pacat’s Captive Prince trilogy) – I read & loved the first two and need to complete the series!
After devouring Target Engaged, I’d buy anything by M.L. Buchman.
The first thing I’d buy would be Mur Lafferty’s The Shambling Guide to New York City! And that bag is adorable.
Okay, to be honest, the bag would go to my daughter because she’s all about the things. But that GC would be spent lickety-split on audio books, my new obsession–probably more In Death books, and probably ALLEGIANCE OF HONOR because I’m trying to get all the Psy-Changling books in audio, too. 😀
Thanks for the awesomesauce that is the Bitchery!
I’d buy the new Seanan McGuire book coming out: Once Broken Faith.
Definitely Saga vol. 6 by Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples!
I would purchase, Just Kiss Me by Rachel Gibson. Looking forward to reading the new book. Thank you for the chance to win such a nice prize!
The City of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers and some really good chocolate.
I would love to get War Hawk by James Rollins. It’s been on my wishlist, like, forever. Lol.
Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
Thank you so much for all your generous giveaways (even if I never win anything). If I win, the first books I will be buying are Stiletto by Daniel O’Malley (it’s FINALLY out!) and probably The Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn, because that sounded awesome. I would say Saga, volume 6, but I already have that on pre-order at my local comics store and am just waiting for them to confirm that it’s arrived.
I would get the gaps in my Flavia de Luce series. I don’t know why Books 1, 4, and 7 are more reasonably priced, while the rest are over $10 and don’t seem to ever drop in price!
Thank you for these fun giveaways! And Happy Fourth!
The Devil You Know by Jo Goodman is next on my buy list!
The new Liane Moriarty book!
I’d pre-order The Highlander by Kerrigan Byrne. 🙂
I’m not sure…I usually can’t afford to buy books so I’d probably just go wild starting with Janet Evanovich and Jonathan Kellerman 🙂
I would buy YA books for a California library that is need of them. My own TBR pile could use a rest …. Happy Independence Day!
The Rook!
Nalini Singh’s Allegiance of Honor!! Still working on rereading the entire series for the third time before embracing her new book with open arms!!
Probably the new Harry Potter book, but I think there will be a new Susan Elizabeth Phillips soon.
Right now I would buy Elizabeth Hoyt’s new book, Duke of Sin. I’m currently pretending to be patient as I wait for a library copy.
POLKA DOTS!!!! So many things to put in a polka dot bag! Evermore and Burning Down The Night and a new cover for my Kindle because the one I have now just would not be up to that bag’s standards.
Ooh, I like Katie D.’s suggestion of Hamiltome, but I’d also buy Rebecca Traister’s All the Single Ladies in e, because I read a library copy and I want to have it for my own so I can highlight all the brilliance.
I would buy the Tessa Dare coming out this summer.
Rachel Caine’s the Great Library series…top of my wishlist!
I would buy Eloisa James newest!
I have to be very disciplined when buying books, or else I would be very hungry by the end of the month. With a $50 gift card I treat myself my own copy of some books I loved that I got from the library. I would love rereading Kristen Ashley’s Motorcycle Man or Christina Lauren’s Beautiful Player whenever the urge strikes!
I would probably buy Illusion Town by Amanda Quick.
Sooo many books I can guarantee the gift card wouldn’t make it until September.
Ooh so many books! Where would I start…, kiersten white’s And I darken or by the new author Rokshani Chokshi or grace draven’s latest releases.. …too many choices Arrrgh
Right now, my prime candidate for buy NOW feelings is Prince of Outcasts by S. M. Stirling. The book is due out on September 6.
The Obelisk Gate by NK Jemison. It comes out on August 16 and I’m wondering whether it is too soon to get on line.
The new Saga release. Too many holds at the library–I can’t wait!
I’d preorder the new Kate Daniels!
I’d preorder Jennifer Estep’s Unraveled and Unwanted. Thanks for the post and giveaway.
Rocked by Love by Christine Warren and Rock Wedding by Nalini Singh.
I would probably get Rock Wedding or Archangel’s Heart by Nalini Sngh. No wait, Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews. Or the new one by Jill Shalvis or Sarah Maclean or Molly O’Keefe or Kristen Callihan or Elle Kennedy or… So many books so little time! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d buy the hardcover of Allegiance of Honor. I’ve already read it on the kindle app, but I need the hardcover for my collection, precious.
I’ve had my eye on Wolf Lake by John Verdon. The library wait list is quite long.
Heroine Complex
