To help kick off Book Blogger Appreciation Week , and as part of the massive number of giveaways going on, I'm chipping in with my own. To one lucky commenter I'm giving away a brand new copy of Silent on the Moor by Deanna Raybourn . This book was one of my favorite reads so far this year and will undoubtedly be on my Best of 2009 list. It is the third installment in the Lady Julia Grey mystery series . Reading order: Silent in the Grave , Silent in the Sanctuary , and Silent on the Moor . Y ou can read my reviews of all three here , here , and here . This is a seriously enjoyable, well-written series and I am crazy fond of the intrepid Lady Julia and private inquiry agent Mr. Nicholas Brisbane. All you have to do is leave a comment and a way to contact you to be entered. For one extra entry you can become a follower. The contest is open to U.S. and Canada only and closes at midnight on Friday, September 18th. I'll be announcing the winner the next day. Thanks for stoppi
That is such a good cover! Clean to look at, but also relevant and fun!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE it, but I still love the mass market with the shoe :) Nostalgia probably since I've read it so many times...I actually could use a new copy. I might have to indulge!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! *love* I'm such a fan of minimal design and white backgrounds. I. Must. Have this. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI saw this when I was at Costco yesterday-it definetely caught my eye! :)
ReplyDeleteMarg, exactly! I love how clean it is. I think I could more easily hand this copy around to a variety of people, you know?
ReplyDeleteAllison, I know. It feels like an indulgence, but I think I'll need to get a second copy as well. But when it's of a book I'm so fond of and will reread many times, I don't feel so bad. ;)
Holly, isn't it great?
Sandy, ooh. Must check mine.
I wish the copy that I bought had that cover because it's so eyecatching and it doesn't exactly scream romance novel.
ReplyDeleteYep, awesome cover - and the book deserves it, read BET ME a few months back and absolutely LOVED it.
ReplyDeleteApril, I know. That's why I love it, too. That way new readers won't be influenced one way or the other and will give it a fair chance.
ReplyDeleteErin, it really does deserve it. I'm so glad you loved it, too. I have such fond feelings for it.
Love. I recently bought the earlier version cause I was dying for a reread but this one is just perfect. I might end up with both now :)
ReplyDeleteReally unrelated, but I just finished STOLEN by Lucy Christopher and I couldn't remember which book blog had recommended it... I thought it was you but I searched your blog and it doesn't seem as if you have read it. It is YA and haunting and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, I LOVE THIS COVER!! I have never heard about this book before now and I just read the synopsis and holy hotness i want it!
ReplyDeleteI just had to come back and tell you (so that you can laugh at me) that I did end up buying this edition :) haha. I got the trade of Fast Women too...another of the Crusies I love even though I know not as many people love it.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I know I'm going to. May have to order it, though. Can't find this edition around these parts.
ReplyDeleteEmily, I actually got STOLEN for my birthday a few days ago. Can't wait to start it! Thanks for letting me know you loved it.
Carla, woman. You must read this now. You will love.
Allison, haha! Awesome. You know, I'm not sure if I've read FAST WOMEN or not. I don't think I have. May need to pick it up since you love it.
It's gorgeous! I would really love to have those dices ..
