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.


Like several others, I would buy First Star I See Tonight by SEP.
Oh wow I would love to win that bag. I’ve been dreaming of getting a designer purse for years. As for a book, I think I’d buy…some Nailini Singh. Her books are pricey and my library doesn’t really carry much of her stuff!
I’d preorder the new JD Robb and Ilona Andrews books.
After I read your book review, I have been dying to read The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware! Sounds amazing and definitely something I usually read!
Wild Embrace by Nalini Singh – or preorder Interborough by Santino Hassell.
Oooooh, pretty! I just added Mary Roach’s “Grunt” to my wishlist, so that would be the first purchase.
I have my eye on the Puffin In Bloom box set which includes Anne of Green Gables, Heidi, Little Women and A Little Princess.
Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!
I’d get Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life, by Emily Nagoski.
A Scot in the Dark by Sarah MacLean!
I would pick up the new Sarah MacLean.
Jane Green’s Falling, but you know I couldn’t stop there
I would totally buy Jeanne Ray’s “Nerve”. That way I could read it before I watched the movie.
A hardback copy of Outlander, first edition would be nice. That would look lovely on my bookshelf.
Frequent Moving = giving away my paperbacks. I miss my early Jude Deverauxs! I would rebuy several of her classics for my Kindle.
I would buy Ravage by Tillie Cole. Thank you so much!
Cream of the Crop, by Alice Clayton. I am currently having to wait on the library list.
The first e-book I’d buy would be Jennifer Estep’s Unraveled. Thanks for another great giveaway.
Susan Mallery – Daughter of the Bride! GORG PURSE!
I would buy the new SEP book! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I, along with everyone else, would probably buy Magic Binds, because my Ilona Andrews addiction knows no bounds.
I’d like to read Heroes of the Frontier by Dave Eggers
I’ve been eyeing A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet since you wrote the review.
Oh, I’ve been wanting to read, “Everyday Life in Medieval London: From the Anglo-Saxons to the Tudors!” by Toni Mount
I would order Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews!
I’d definitely stuff my Kindle in there so I could carry all the books and a snack. There’s so much get. I’m two books behind on my Alice Clayton. Surely Christina Lauren is hard at work on the Not Joe story I’m dying for. Nalini Singh’s next Guild Hunter and M. O’Keefe’s next books can’t be too far off.
I’d probably buy ‘For Love & Liberty: Untold Love Stories of the American Revolution’ and Joanna Bourne’s ‘The Spymaster’s Lady’.
I’d buy No Breaking My Heart by Kate Angell.
Well, the first book on my amazon wishlist is actually Long Distance by Thomas Zahler (thanks to the review by Carrie!), but I also reeeeally want to read the Han Solo trilogy, now that it’s out on kindle. Well, there’s not reason not to get both, right?
I would pre-order Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race
I would buy Lisa Kleypas Marrying Winterbourne:) and j love the color of that bag!
I would probably buy Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente, because it’s definitely a crime of some sort that it’s not already in my personal library.
I’d buy a new copy of Jane Eyre because mine is on its last legs…pages…whatever. One of my favorite books ever, and one of the few that I actually own a copy of.
I’m behind on the Janet Evanovich series and am trying to wait for the paperback (ahem the price drop), but Genevieve Cogman’s “The Invisible Library” keeps popping up on different lists so it would be a tie between those two books on my first to purchase list!
Definitely the new N.K. Jemisin novel. She also just won the HUGO! I’m so delighted for her and I hope the sad/rabid/senile puppies choke on it.
Thank you for the contest! I would purchase, First Star I See Tonight by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
Probably “All the Missing Girls.” I love the genre as a break when I’m not feeling romance, but the cost of them is really adding up.
I would buy Charlaine Harris’ new book that coming out soon “All the Little Liars” an Aurora Teagarden mystery. I know more after that too. Would love to win. Thanks!
Either a copy of Claudia Gray’s Bloodline because it was AMAZING or Mara Wilson’s memoir that’s out in September (I think it’s September).
I would buy the Book 2 in the O’Malley series by Katee Robert.
I’d get ‘Long Distance’, the graphic novel from the lightning reviews as it sounded great but would use up most of my book budget until October!
Thanks for the giveaway and the great reviews!
