Austenesque ARC Giveaway #1!

July 22, 2011 • Giveaways • 43 Comments

As some of you know, I sometimes accept ARC (Advanced Reader Copies) of books to read and review from various publishing companies and the Amazon Vine Program.  While I am so fortunate to receive these books for free, I’m a book collector and usually end up buying myself an official copy of the books I like to keep.  Eventhough the ARC’s I receive are in such nice condition and usually include a gorgeous cover picture, I like to own the real thing!

So that leaves me with the question: What do I do with my ARCs?  I would hate to throw such excellent literature in the recycling bin!  I thought I’d check to see if there was anyone in the blogsphere who might want them before donating them to my library.

Here are the 5 ARCs that I have recently replaced with official releases in my library:

Dracula, My Love

The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott 

Mr. Darcy’s Secret 

Mr. Darcy and the Secret of Becoming a Gentleman

A Darcy Christmas

See anything you like?  I know receiving a once-read ARC isn’t as exciting as receiving a brand new release, but I thought I’d see if there was anyone interested in these…

GIVEAWAY TIME!!!!! If you are interested in winning one of these terrific ARCs for yourself, just leave a comment indicating which book you’d like to win! I will randomly select a winner for each book.

– You can enter for one book or for all FIVE!

– This giveaway is open internationally

This giveaway will end July 25th. BEST OF LUCK and thank you for entering!

  20. Thanks Meredith for making this an international giveaway. I would like to have Mr. Darcy and the Secret of Becoming a Gentleman and Dracula, My Love. It seems like Maria Hamilton’s debut novel is a hot title judging by the comments here.

  26. I would love any of the books! Just to see what an ARC looks like and to own one! But if I have to choose, I would choose either, “Dracula, My Love”, which I have on my kindle and I only read because I liked the review you did on it (it was good by the way) Or “Mr. Darcy and the Secret of Becoming a Gentleman”.

    Thanks,

  41. Hope I can still get in under the wire. I would love The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott, and were I to win any of the Darcy books I would donate them to my local JASNA chapter, which has a lending library for members.
