Literary Blog Hop Book #Giveaway

From today until Wednesday June 25th I am participating along with many other international bloggers in a Literary Blog Hop Giveaway hosted by Judith at Leeswamme’s Blog, an avid reader and reviewer from the Netherlands.

Comment below to win the books I am offering and visit the other blogs to enter their offers.

I am offering two books, recent reads and not the usual thing you find in a bookshop. Both titles are literary gems, one an award-winning Norwegian translation, the other a riveting, thought-provoking glimpse into a cross cultural family that thanks to blogging and twitter connections I became aware of. They are fabulous reads, but do check out my reviews first to find out if they sound like something you might enjoy.

You can enter for one title only or for both, one comment puts you in the draw for both books, unless you tell me you are only interested in one of the titles. Ok, here they are:

COMMENT to WIN A COPY of

The Blue Room
Carrots and Jaffas

The Blue Room by Hanne Ørstavik translated by Deborah Dawkin – read my review here.

“a gripping portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship that will send a chill down your spine.”

OR

Carrots and Jaffas by Howard Goldenberg – read my review here.

 “a glimpse into the heart of an ancient land and a fractured family, through the story of a stolen child.”

  3. I think this is the first time I am participating in a giveaway hosted by you, Claire 🙂 Please enter me for the book ‘The Blue Room’. I really want to find out whether the heroine came out of the locked room and what happened to her and her mother after that.

    • You are one step ahead of me! Fingers crossed for the giveaway, but if you don’t win, I think you should seriously consider a subscription with Peirene Press, they seem to me to be just the kind of book I would find in your reading list. I’m really happy with my subscription.

      • Thanks for the recommendation, Claire. I loved all your reviews of Peirene Press books and have added all of them to my ‘TBR’ list. I am hoping to subscribe to them sometime soon.

  14. Yours was the second ever blog I followed on here and dare I say it the best (flattery can’t hurt my chances, Stethinks), you were a later follower on Twitter but you are still my favourite on that too! Both books sound awesome and somebody is going to be a very happy reader.

  29. Having just read the reviews of both books, it is very hard for me to choose. 🙂 Being greedy and saying that I wouldn’t mind the two.

    Following you on WP and Twitter already. 🙂 Thank you for hosting 🙂

    • Of course, I’ll put your name down for both, that’s not greedy at all, if you like the sound of both, then all the better and more chance for you! 🙂 Would love to be sending a package to Ghana! Fingers crossed.
