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!
THE WINDS OF WINTER by George RR Martin – when it finally gets published. Come on George.
I would buy Leah Remini’s new book.
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
What a pretty bag! I would buy Fodor’s and Rick Steves’ guidebooks for Rome. Just booked a trip there in October.
Stilletto by Daniel O’Malley… Or maybe one of those pricey Nora Roberts e-books
I’d either buy Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, or Every Heart a Doorway.
Such a pretty bag! I love Kate Spade. If I won, which duh I never win, I’d buy Eleanor Herman’s LEGACY OF KINGS.
Pre-order Magic Binds, the next Kate Daniels.
Wow! With 50.00 dollars I can get a few books. My immediate buy would be Nalini Singh’s Allegiance of Honor and then the latest Darynda Jones The Curse of Tenth Grave.
Definitely would buy As Death Draws Near by Anna Lee Huber … I am nearly all caught up and then Hamilton – my new obsession, music and reading.
I would buy the entire series of THE Others by Anne Bishop, including pre-ordering the next in the series. I can.not.wait. I don’t read books twice (on purpose), but this series I definitely want to.
Aieeeeee. I would buy the paper copy of Kleypas’s Brown-Eyed Girl, which I’v borrowed from the library THREE TIMES and just need to own already.
Definitely the Hamil-tome! And since I’ve recently fallen in love with Alisha Rai’s ‘Gentleman in the Street’, I would def pick up some more of her stuff.
Too Hot to Handle by Tessa Bailey. Thanks for the contest!
Thanks for the giveaway! I would buy Shadow Rider from Christine Feehan, Eloisa James new book, plus many more! I could not afford a Kate Spade purse, so it would be exciting to win!!!
I would buy a couple of backlists by two fairly new-to-me authors. That bag is pretty perfect!
I’ll buy the second book of Shelly Laurenston’s Call of the Crows series, The Undoing to add to my collection and some of her G.A Aiken books!
I saw this photo you retweeted some time back, and I told myself I MUST have this book.

The Little Bookshop of Lonely Hearts, by Annie Darling. I believe the paperback comes out in August, so no hurry 🙂
First to buy would be Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn.
I’d buy Lost Among the Living by Simone St. James!
The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata–I just read a review and it sounded good. Plus, it’s more than 600 pages! It sounds like a great vacation read.
The next releases from a couple favorites ~ my preorder wish list at Amazon has about a dozen romances (Kleypas, Hoyt, and so on), plus as many mysteries, although some are now out and I just haven’t gotten to ordering them yet.
I’d first pre-order Nalini Singh’s Wild Embrace then use the rest of the gift card to set up my classroom library!
Oooh, I think I would get a copy of those fantastic new Pelican Shakespeare editions!
Anything by Jill Shalvis that I don’t already own.
I love cookbooks and memoirs so I would save it for Amy Theilens memoir next year
Cute bag. You have excellent taste. First purchase would be a splurge on the upcoming Ilona Andrews – Magic Binds. Next up – Thief’s Daughter by Jeff Wheeler. My library doesn’t carry it and I enjoyed the first one.
I’d splurge on some new (or new-to-my-library) knitting books!
There’s too many books to choose from! But I’d start with a couple Eloisa James books and the latest Karen Marie Moning book. Such a cute bag!
I’d buy the new Harry Potter book.
I’d buy the new Lisa Kleypas!
I would buy a copy of Night by Wiesel to give to my daughter. My copy is falling apart, and I really want her to have it. Oh, and probably the America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook. It looks awesome.
I would buy the last few books in Terry Goodkind’s Wizards First Rule series. I haven’t read them yet, but I really want to finish the series off! 🙂
I haven’t felt I could afford it until the price goes down again, but I am dying to get my hands on Laurenston’s The Undoing!!! I cannot say how thrilled I’d be.
I’d preorder The Thing About Love by Julie James!
I’d preorder so many books: Wild Embrace by Nalini Singh, Do You Want to Start a Scandal by Tessa Dare, and The Trouble with Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis.
The Untouchable Series by Darcy Burke! Her new book came out today, The Duke of Daring. It’s the second one. I haven’t read the first yet so that gives me the excuse to buy two books!
The would hold my ipad mini, my snacks, and my little slippers so I could hit the park and read all day.
I’d probably buy Eloisa James’ “The Taming of the Duke” because none of the libraries near me have a copy 🙁
Maybe the new Harry Potter?
I am anxiously awaiting Dana Stabenow’s new book (this November, hurry!). With such a gift I would buy it in hardcover and then pass it along to our library after I read it.
Your generosity knows no bounds!
