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 definitely buy Night Music by Jojo Moyes!!! Hope I win!!!!!!
Since the new Saga volume is being released, that’s what I’d get.
Anything I don’t yet have by James, Quinn, Cruise, or any other of the authors that are auto buys.
I would buy Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt.
I would get how not to fall or the anatomist’s wife since I am looking to start Anna Lee Huber’s series
The House of Daniel by Harry Turtledova
I would probably either preorder a JD Robb book or order the next Ruth Downie historical.
Probably, Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas, since I’m currently reading Cold-Hearted Rake and thoroughly enjoying it.
I’ve always had a fledgling interest in urban planning and city infrastructure and have a list including The Works: Anatomy of a City, Atlas of Cities and The City Shaped: Urban Patterns and Meanings Through History. I prefer ebooks but I’d pick up hard copies of these considering the maps, imagery, etc.
I would pre-order Michelle Sagara’s Cast in Flight and buy Lee and Miller’s Alliance of Equals.
I’ve no idea, but having to decide would be a great problem to have. Maybe Terry Brooks’s latest Shannara book? I’m a few behind.
I’m in the mood for fantasy lately so I would buy NK Jemisin’s latest. Of course, I’d also need the time to read it, but you can’t win everything.
allegiance of honor
I would pre-order the next Sarah MacLean novel!
I would preorder Jeaniene Frost’s latest Night Prince novel, Into the Fire. Love me some Vlad!
The Shepherd’s Crown by Terry Pratchett. I have been putting it off because it’s the last time I’ll ever buy a new Terry Pratchett…sniff…
D&D 5E Dungeon Master’s Guide.
The Romanovs. A big, fat, satisfying read about an endlessly fascinating dynasty. Mind you, what I’m really waiting for is the third in the Wolf Hall trilogy – c’mon, Hilary Mantel, get going!
Well, the next book I’m planning on purchasing is the last book in Maisey Yates’ Copper Ridge book (there are more coming out, I just don’t have the most recent one yet!)
I would buy “Stiletto” by Daniel O’malley. I just finished “The Rook” based on one of the past recommendations from this site. I loved it and want the next in the series, but I try to only buy books when there’s some sort of sale since it’s hard to justify spending so much $ on books when I still have mountains of student loans!
Axel’s Pup by Kim Dare.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Rook. Stiletto.
Oh, that’s tough. I have about 12 books on preorder right now. I need to purchase The Queen by Tiffany Reisz. I’ve been putting off reading it because I don’t want the series to end!
I would buy the latest Lisa Kleypas series if I won.
Ah, so many! Hoyt, Cole, Blakely, to start!
Since I am looking for new romantic suspense authors I would try some first in series.
I’m riding an Elizabeth Hoyt wave so probably her newest Maiden Lane novel.
The new Ann Hood and The new Mary Oliver poetry book.
The Ghost by Monica McCarty, top of my to buy list!
Kat Latham has a series about rugby players. I’d buy that!
A big fat cookbook….French or Italian.
I really need that Kate Spade bag.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! And the new Liane Moriarty, and new Tessa Dare, too many things..
Emily Nagoski/Foster books! Also I’m waiting for the Simona Ahrnstedt book from the library.
Linda Howard’s Troublemaker!
A Banquet of Consequences by Elizabeth George
Children of the Storm by Elizabeth Peters – I am on a big Amelia Peabody reading binge right now.
I want Bossman!
Stiletto, by Daniel O’Malley!
I would buy Night by Elie Wiesel.
I have to spend roughly $600 on textbooks for the upcoming fall semester =(
