We have another Kate Spade giveaway! Seriously, we love finding cute things we can give out to the Bitchery, and our previous books & bag giveaways are always well-received.
This time, we have the Kate Spade Sawyer Street Maxi Tote in Posy Pink.

My purses tend to be black because I’m a mess of a person, so I’m kind of in love with this soft, blush color. Here are the official specs:
- 11.7″ (29.71cm) high x 12.9″ (32.76cm) wide x 5.5″ deep (13.97cm)
- handle drop is 8.3″ (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)
- leather with interior zip pocket and double slide pockets
And, since there’s plenty of room inside, we’re including a $50.00 giftcard to the bookstore of the winner’s choosing. Get ready to fill that bag with books or at least a well-stocked e-reader.
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 26 August 2016 and winner announced same day. Please note that due to travel, prize will be shipped after August 28, 2016.
Ready to enter? Leave a comment and let me know what book you’d buy first if you won. Good luck!Â
UPDATE: Congratulations to Lorelai! Keep an eye on your inbox and thanks so much to everyone who comment. My TBR pile, however, is a little upset at all the book recs.


I’d probably start by getting some of Monica McCarty’s Highland Guard series. I’m all about those historical Scotland stories.
Thanks for the giveaway!
“The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo”
I currently have it on hold at the library but have a feeling I’m going to want to own it… I’m trying to be responsible by just borrowing it for now.
Where the Wild Things Bite by Molly Harper. I have some books in from the library right now, but as soon as I read those, I’m buying that book. I love her Half Moon Hollow books!
I would totes (hehe) get Nevernight by Jay Kristoff.
You guys are the best!
I’d buy Magic Binds or the new Susan Elizabeth Phillips which are both on preorder. Or one of the Lee and Miller books I don’t already have in ebook format. So many choices! Thanks for doing the giveaway!
My local independent bookshop has recently featured a gorgeous coloring book…I think it would fit perfectly in the Kate Spade bag! The first page I color will be in shades of pink to match the bag.
I’d get the illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone because it looks gorgeous!
I haven’t read the new M. O’Keefe book (that’s sponsoring all the podcasts!), Burn Down the Night, so that would be my first purchase.
A Scot in the Dark or one of the many America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks I lust after.
The Storified Life of AJ Fikry (or something) because it’s the book club pick for next month. But honestly, after the last few weeks, I would probably fill that puppy up with chocolate and booze. And while I’m at it, a cozy blanket to hide under, my ear buds and some audio books.
That’s a toss up, between the new Sarah Maclean, because Sarah Maclean, or this book about severed heads:
Severed: A History of Heads Lost and Heads Found
by Frances Larson
Because I’m feeling especially morbid lately 🙂
I would buy Erin Nicholas’ new release Twisted Up!
Thank you so much for the chance
I would pre-order the new Seanan McGuire book!!
I’d pre-order “The Hanging Tree,” which is Ben Aaronovitch’s next Rivers of London book.
The new Tessa Dare coming out in September. Or maybe even finally starting Nalini Singh’s Psy Changeling series or Bourbon Thief by Tiffany Reisz. I’m a bit book greedy and clearly have just exceeded budget 🙂
I would buy Sarah MacLean’s A Scot in the Dark.
I would buy Tessa Dare’s, Do You Want To Start Scandal, and Sarah Maclean A Scot in the Dark
I would pre order Magic Binds and Archangel’s Heart if I won the gift card.
Not a romance, but I’d love to order “A Tyranny of Petticoats,” which is a collection of YA stories featuring (according to the subtitle) “Belles, Bank Robbers & Other Badass Girls.”
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’m not much of a nonfiction reader, but Notorious RBG has caught my attention and would be pick. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would fill it up with Sarah MacLean’s new series and the second in Lenora Bells disgraceful dukes, plus Laurenston’s Call of Crows series, and oh my goodness, whatever else I can cram in there!
The Hating Game for sure but I would send it to my sister as I have read it and know she would love it.
I just found Susan MacNeal, so would probably pre-order her upcoming book THE QUEEN’S ACCOMPLICE. Thank you, once again (and always), love your site!
STILETTO by Daniel O’Malley! Recently read ROOK and loved it, and after seeing STILETTO reviewed here (and thus learning of its existence for the first time), I wants it.
I’m listening to this fascinating audiobook on the Black Death by Dorsey Armstrong (for The Great Courses). I would love to find something else by her on audible. . . And get the new SEP for my kindle.
So many choices, but the first book to pop in my head Robert Galbraith’s Career of Evil. 🙂
The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman. The premise is what I would daydream about as a kid, and I would love to see what the author does with it! Also probably a few books on alcohol infusions, because I love making candy-colored cordials.
So exciting! I would get Furious Rush by SC Stephens.
I would start at the top of my goodreads list and work my way down, which means *goes to check* The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin.
My TBR pile is growing! I’d buy Jane Bryant Quinn’s “How to make your money last in retirement” – getting ready for retirement and love her money books.
I’ve had Emma Cline’s The Girls on Hold for an eternity. That is the first book I would buy.
You had me at Kate Spade.
I’d buy the new Ilona Andrews books “Magic Binds” AND ” White Hot” neither of which is out yet and the wait is killing me.
The next Ilona Andrews for sure!
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. Or The Trespasser by Tana French. Dying to read both!
Hmm, well I think I would buy A Scot in the Dark by Sarah Maclean first since that one comes out in just a few days. I would follow closely with a pre-order of the David Shapard Annotated Mansfield Park.
ILLUMINAE is next on my must-have list. So I’d buy that. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi!!! I’d buy “Between the World and Me” by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I’d buy the new Emma chase book royally screwed.
I’d replace my first four books in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series – I’ve had them so long and re-read them so many times, they’re falling apart!
Hardcover edition of The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly
