The Great ARC Giveaway

March has arrived, Spring is getting closer, hurrah! I am marching forth this March with a few bookish announcements.

First, we at Chumley & Pepys Books are having a March Forth Sale on our Literature catalogue, all books 20% off for the entire month of March. If you like buying used, peruse our collection!

Secondly, I have just discovered the wonderful Book Giveaway Carnival being hosted at Bookroom Reviews. I've also been doing a little springcleaning. There are quite a few ARCs laying around the house, and it is time to share them out with another giveaway! Here's how it will work -- I have so many that I am putting them into groupings. If you are interested please comment and let me know which groupings you would like to join the drawing for. You can put your name in for any or all of them, but can only win one. This giveaway is open to anyone around the world. I will draw the winning names on Sunday, March 9 (when we Spring ahead into Daylight Savings Time, losing an hour but perhaps gaining a book??)



Group A - Canadian Women



Exit Lines / Joan Barfoot
At a loss for words / Diane Schoemperlen
Turtle Valley / Gail Anderson-Dargatz



Group B - Canadian Men



The Retreat / David Bergen
Cockroach / Rawi Hage
October / Richard B. Wright



Group C - YA



The Loser's Guide to life and love / A.E. Cannon
Another kind of cowboy / Susan Juby
Finding Cassidy / Laura Langston



Group D - The Harpercollins Group



Atmospheric Disturbances / Rivka Galchen
The Sister / Poppy Adams
Out Backward / Ross Raisin

Gee, I wish I could two from Group A and one from Group B. Alas, I guess it must be Group A. Super idea for a giveaway.
Thank you!!

Wanda said...

"Canadian man
At your service from the land of the chill
If I can't warm you baby nobody will
A genuine Canadian man

Strong and free
That's the true north
And baby that's me
I'll salute you as long as need be
Your genuine Canadian man

...

Canadian man
That's me the ice breaker supreme
Forget your American dream
And wake up to Canadian man"


I've sang for my supper before so I thought I'd give it a go with the Paul Brandt song and enter to win group B please!
