The book gods have been kind to me.
I don’t do many giveaways but this one dropped into my lap; it was destiny.
Her publisher sent me an extra copy of the incomparable Margaret Atwood’s latest novel, The Heart Goes Last. I could have been a complete ass and just sold it on Amazon but then I wouldn’t have had the satisfaction of giving away a fantastic work of literary fiction.
Every now and then I enjoy giving away a fantastic work of literary fiction. I haven’t done so in a very long time. I was due.
Leave a comment and your name will go into the GRAND GIVEAWAY POT OF LITERARY GOODNESS, i.e.: an old crappy bowl. Contest ends Wednesday, 4 November, 12:00 midnight CDT – Chicago. ** Entries received after this time will not be considered. ** Sorry to be a hard ass.
On 5 November I will throw all your lovely names into a pot, drawing out one very lucky winner, indeed. You’ll receive an email from me requesting your name and mailing address. You’ll send me that via email. Then, Bob’s yer uncle, off it ships.
*** Offer valid worldwide. I’m feeling generous. ***
Tweet about THE GRAND GIVEAWAY and your name will go in twice. Just let me know you’ve done so in the comments. Hey, I trust you. You look honest. Except for YOU, that one dude back in the corner. YOU, wearing the hat.
Flatter me, about anything at all, and your name will go in one MORE time!
I know it’s insane but it’s my GIVEAWAY, my rules. And I’ve had a rough week. I need the boost.
BONNE CHANCE.
Thank you for the chance to win

Well, I love Atwood novels, but I was on the fence about this one. Your description – along with some other good things I’ve heard about it – may have pushed me over the edge!
I’d love to know how you think it compares with her others…

Indeed, the book Gods certainly have. And, this reader, has so enjoyed, with pleasure, reading your many reviews over the past years, that I will not be disappointed if chance does not reward me here. But now retired on coastal North Carolina, reading Margaret Atwood’s The Heart Goes Last by the fireplace, granted would certainly help in warming the many nippy fall mornings now upon us and impending winter’s cold.

To be added in a third more time, a Spanish flattering comment (crappier than your bowl): “Si yo fuera Colón, navegaría día y noche para llegar a lo más profundo de tu corazón”. Better do not translante it…
