In honour of my blog reaching 100 followers and my placing third in Cherie Reich's Flash Fiction blogfest, I am hosting a giveaway! As Terry Brooks is one of my all time favourite authors, I have raved about him several times on this blog, so I thought it appropriate to give away a book written by him. So here's how it'll work: you can pick any book by Terry Brooks and I will send it to you right from Amazon. Leave a comment on this post telling me which book you would like to read, and I will randomly draw one winner on Friday, June 8. Open to US and Canada. One entry per person; no, you don't get extra entries if you blog or tweet about this giveaway or follow me, but I will consider you even more awesome if you do.
Check out my post on Terry Brooks to help you decide. Haven't read anything by Terry Brooks? You could start at the beginning with his first book, The Sword of Shannara, which is often compared to The Lord of the Rings because it is very similar. Or, you could start with my favourite of the original trilogy, The Elfstones of Shannara. Or, you could try my favourite series of all his Shannara books, The Voyage of Jerle Shannara, which starts with Ilse Witch. Not interested in epic fantasy? No problem--try Magic Kingdom for Sale--Sold!, which is a more lighthearted fantasy, or Running with the Demon, which is a darker urban fantasy. Wow, so many choices! What Terry Brooks book do you want to win?
Curse this Atlantic ocean! *shakes fist* Good luck to everyone who enters!
ReplyDeletehaha sorry Jamie. I don't think I can afford the postage to send to you :)
DeleteMeet you half way. How does Iceland sound?
DeleteCongratulations on reaching 100 followers! :) It's a hard choice, but I've not read Running with the Demon yet. That's my pick!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Great choice. That series is so different from anything else he's done.
DeleteCongrats on having over 100 followers. I've enjoyed your posts since joining a week ago. I have not yet read any of Terry Brooks books, but Magic Kingdom for Sale–Sold sounds like a interesting read. That would be my pick.
ReplyDeleteThat is probably my favourite series of all time.
DeleteI'll mention it Monday during the Ninja News. Won't enter because I am a BIG Brooks fan and own all of his books.
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome knowing another huge Brooks fan :)
Deletei'm glad to be a recent ollower to help you reach 100 =) yay for you!
ReplyDeleteif i get picked, i'll let you know then...like picking a favorite quintuplet or something!
Hey, congrats on having over 100 followers! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI've only read Magic Kingdom for Sale - Sold! so far. But I've been collecting his books like crazy. Got most but the newer ones. I even found a 1st edition of The Sword of Shannara, didn't even know it was until much later. Crazy the things you find in secondhand shops!
As you can guess, I'm not joining (though I'd love to complete my Landover series). I'm so far from US it ain't funny.
That is cool! A first edition would be awesome to have. I would also love to get a book signed by Brooks.
Delete'Tis an upside-down one too (apparently worth less, but what do I care?). The backing's upside-down to the book. Confused me no end, cause it's meant to be embossed on the front, then I took the jacket off and looked at the spine and ... duh! Seems somehow appropriate that it ended up on the other side of the world. ^_^
DeleteThere’s so many signatures I wish I had. Got one ... somewhere in my wall-o-books. Not by Brooks though. Tad Williams.
I am happy for you to reach the big 100..:))) Congrats. I would pick Elfstones Of Shannara, if I were to win.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to everyone else that enters the giveaway.
Elfstones is fantastic. I often suggest people start with that one rather than Sword because it is easier to get into.
DeleteCongrats on passing the 100 follower milestone! :) SO many choices...I think I'd like to try Running with the Demon. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And you are welcome :)
DeleteWoot! 100 followers is great. I haven't read Terry Brooks yet. Thanks for the giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteNever really thought I would get past 100 so it is pretty cool!
DeleteWow! Congrats on 100 Followers!!! I would love to read Jerle Shannara, Isle Witch.
ReplyDeleteGood choice. I am attracted to any book with air ships in it, they are just cool.
DeleteCongrats on 100 followers! Yay! I'd love to read The Sword of Shannara. Everyone keeps telling me to read this book, but I haven't had a chance to yet.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading "The Sword of Shannara" a long, long time ago. It might be the only one I've read, so either or both!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually not my favourite--I prefer his later works.
DeleteGreat giveaway and congrats on the followers! I've never read any of his books, so I can't guess which I'd read.
ReplyDeleteWell there really isn't a wrong choice :)
DeleteI would like "The Measure of the Magic: Legends of Shannara" as I've read the book that comes before it, but haven't gotten that one yet. :)
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't read either of those yet. Shame on me!
