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!
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 with a cookbook because they’re so darned expensive. This title really interests me, Pierogi Love: New Takes on an Old-World Comfort Food.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling. I’ve read it a few times but always on loan from the library.
I would buy Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews and probably as many of the others in the series as I can – so I have them all the time to reread rather than have to check them out every time.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hmmm, the Elena Ferrante Neopolitan Novels. Though, I really should have bought them by now…
“Catch a Falling Heiress” by Laura Lee Guhrke!
I’d buy Kushiel’s Chosen. I’ve been in a huge fantasy romance mood lately–and I mean huge literally 🙂 those books are massive. I’d need a tote to carry it around!
With the $50, I can buy JD Robb’s Apprentice in Death ($17), Lora Leigh’s Dirty Little Lies ($6), Jaci Burton’s Mistletoe Games ($13.5), Linda Howard’s Frost Line ($6.5), and Tessa Dare’s Do you want to Start a Scandal ($6.3).
I would buy Wild Embrace by Nalini Singh
What book wouldn’t I buy is the question! The book I’m hankering for at the moment is You will Know Me by Megan Abbott and An Appetite for Violets sounds terrific.
I’m a little behind on my Darynda Jones collection. I still need the 8th, 9th and 10th graves.
Ooooh, pink! Love the bag.
I would buy the 2nd book in Sawyer Bennet’s Sugar series. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Jeannie Lin’s anthology Silk, Swords, and Surrender! What a cute bag–I, too, tend to be a black bag carrier, but this would definitely make me rethink that…
I would finally give in to my nagging Best Book Friend, and order the Outlander series.
If I won, I would buy the top 10 or so F/F romances on amazon (at least, the ones I haven’t read yet!) because I really want an excuse to get them, but I never read enough on my kindle, and I just can’t justify the shelf space for paperbacks I might not want to keep around.
I would also finally buy the last volume of “Wandering Son” that I’ve been putting off, even though I really need to not because the publication/import of that series is put on hold due to slowed sales 🙁 (tbh they’re beautiful books but not necessarily reaching the right market, and they’re a little costly but not for the quality,etc.)
I’d preorder Island of Glass by Nora Roberts! Then pick up Nevernight by Jay Kristoff. Thanks for the chance!
City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin. I loved the whole Passage trilogy and I am dying because I haven’t been able to read the last one yet.
I would buy the next installment in the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn!
I would probably preorder Faithful by Alice Hoffman Or whatever Anna Harrington and Kerrigan Byrne had up for preorder.
Hello, thanks for this email, I’d use the card against the 30+ romance pre-orders I have going on (ouch.)
First book? I’d immediately preorder the new Kate Daniels from Ilona Andrews. Second book? The new Rivers of London from Ben Aaronovich, just in case you’re curious!
I’ll preorder Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas!
I would preorder whatever Anna Harrington and Kerrigan Byrne had up and also Jade Lee.
I have a couple of cookbooks in my wish list!
Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews, can’t wait for this one.
The illustrated Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone because it’s so pretty but so expensive!
I would get the rest of Simona Ahrnstedt’s historical romances in Swedish. I have just started De Skandalösa and it’s really good.
I haven’t bought the new Harry Potter script book yet, so I’d get that!
The Language of Sisters by Cathy Lamb. Love this author.
I would buy that book you guys recommended so highly last week – A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet. It’s way way way up on my to-read list. Oh and a kindle! I’ve been saving up.
Allegiance of Honor. I’ve had it on hold at the library FOREVER but just can’t bring myself to pay $13.99 for an ebook. Love Nalini Singh but not at those prices.
A Scot in the Dark by Sarah MacLean. Thanks!
Skye Jordan’s Forbidden Fling. I love the cover and can’t wait to read.
I’d go old-school and get as many hardcover copies of Patricia Veryan books as I could find.
If the name wasn’t already taken, I’d use the nom de plum Kate Spade and write neo noir about a girl detective set in modern Los Angeles with an edgy vintage twist.I would use my gift card to by the book Dumplin’. I’ve heard good things about it — but it doesn’t come out in paperback until next year and I’m on a paperback kind of budget. xo.
I would definitely order the next Outlander book.
I just started the JD Robb series and I am hooked, so more of those!!
The Other Alice by Michelle Harrison
I’d buy the whole Outlander series in ebook format!
So many books. I’d pre-order the upcoming Wen Spencer, Project Elfhome. What a great giveaway. I’m all about pink.
