Banned Books Week Hop

Welcome to my stop in this giveaway hop.  This topic is a touchy one for me.  I can understand the out cry of some people to censor a book in the name of indecency, so I'm not especially sure I wouldn't vote to challenge a book given the right situation.   I certainly would voice my concerns if highly sexual or violent books fall in the hands of my three young kids (<10yo) under school supervision for example.  But generally to politcally ban a book would not be my solution to the indifference.  As I understand it, books are not rated as in movies but categorized by age appropriateness.  So it would make sense for a parent to screen for books that are appropriate for their children's age and moral values.  Those that doesn't meet the criterias will just not make it in their children's hands or book shelves ..that's what I do. 

I've only read a few books that made it to the banned list.  Also, I recently reached a milestone ... 1,000 followers, so in appreciation I will feature 3 prizes, 3 winners, and make entering simple. :)

Prize #1 (U.S.):
Here's a couple of banned books I have on hand (used).  Both goes to winner.

Prize #2 (International):

• Up to $10 towards a book(s) from The Book Depository

Prize #3 (U.S.):

• $10 Amazon gift e-card

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To enter:  you must be a GFC follower, >12yo, and fill out the form below. 



I thank the hostesses of this hop, I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and I Read Banned Books.  I also want to thank you for stopping by and a great big gratitute virtual hug to all my wonderful followers!!

If you're new to "blog hopping", this is where participating book bloggers (see image above) offer book related giveaways on their blog.  How cool is that?  And speaking of cool, where better to cool off from this summer heat (though nature threw a curve ball today ... it rained!) than hanging out at the beach?!!  So get your beach bag ready, join in the fun, and discover some awesome beach reads!

This time around I'm offering to give away ... "Wish You Were Here" by Phillipa Ashley.  The publisher sent me two copies so I have an extra one to give to one of you!  The beachy cover fits the theme of this giveaway.  ~I'm 2/3 through the book and I think the best part is coming!! :)

"Jack Thornfield, new CEO, is shocked to see his long lost love, Beth Allen's resume come across his desk. After 8 years apart they have a second chance at happiness in this romantic story about love and secrets."  (Goodreads)

I'll be mailing this new book personally, so U.S.A. addresses only please (if you live abroad but want to win this for someone living in the States, then feel free to enter!). 

To enter just be/become a GFC follower and leave a comment stating your GFC profile name and a way to contact you (eg. email address, blog address, facebook, twitter).  That's it!  Good luck!!  ~Contest ends 8/7/11, 11:59pm PST.

Midsummer's Eve Giveaway Hop

Welcome to my stop in this blog giveaway hop!  I am Jinky and a fairly new bookworm (16mos).  As my profile indicate, I finally took up reading so as not to feel left out in book conversations with friends.  Before I knew it, reading and blogging became a fun hobby and something I can call my own.  Like many bloggers, from time-to-time life gets a hold of me and things begin to slow down or halt for awhile but I return as soon as I can.  Anyway, I'm an avid library user so a good 90% of the books I read I get from my local library.  Luckily my library has excellent selections and affords me to dabble into a variety of genres, but I lean more towards adult fiction/literature.  Feel free to take a look around and see if you'd like to become a follower. 

OK, for this hop, I'm giving away to one winner:   a $20 E-gift card to Amazon.com or choose books worth up to $20 from The Book Depository ... whichever is appropriate for you (remember to have a valid e-mail address; The Book Depository ships to your country). 

 

The rules and such:
*Must be a GFC follower and complete the form below to enter.
*Must also be at least 13 years old to enter.
*A winner will be chosen using the services of Random.org
*Winner will be announced in this blog (within 3 days after the end of contest) and will have 48hrs to respond or the runner up will be contacted.
*+2 extra entries for following me on Facebook, HERE.
*You will be under the honor code that you are indeed at least 13yo and a GFC and/or Facebook follower.
*Should you win, I will ask for your profile name then. 
*Dishonest entrants will be disqualified for this giveaway and future giveaways in this blog.

Thank you Kathy at I Am A Reader, Not A Writer for hosting this blog.  Be sure to stop by HERE for the list of over 200 bloggers participating in this hop.
