Tea and RIP: a giveaway

Well, the day hasn't turned out too badly after all despite my electoral chagrin. Thanks to everybody for all the birthday greetings! I also received a new book in the mail today from Random House, one I have been anticipating greatly -- The Gift of Wings, Mary Rubio's new bio of L.M. Montgomery!! Yay! I can't think of anything that could be more suitable for me today. Along with a day off work and some really really sinful brownie cheesecake, it's been a pretty decent day. But with all the new books coming into the house today, I thought I had better clear out a few others. And what better way to celebrate a birthday than by giving something away?

The last two books I reviewed have melded to form a new idea; a giveaway featuring RIP-ish tales and some very suitable tea! The tea is a new offering from my favourite local teashop, Distinctly Tea; despite sounding like a bit of a gimmick, the garlic vanilla tea is actually very tasty, a nice savoury tea to drink alongside a meal. It's been donated by Distinctly Tea for the purposes of this giveaway, and I've added a book about, of course, vampires -- Vamped by David Sosnowski.




So, to be entered into the draw, simply leave a comment on this post. I'll draw a name in a week, so you can enter until midnight (Eastern Time) of next Wednesday, Oct. 22.
Oh yes, and it is open to anyone, anywhere.
**oh, and you must pop over to Dewey's Hidden Side of a Leaf for a huge spooky Hachette draw!

  4. Hi Melanie; I got the book also! This thing is HUGE and I have never seen such a comprehensive book on Maud. Check out the last part of the book where they talk about Maud's death and then what happened to her children and Ewan (Ewen). It is so sad. I always had an idea that Maud was depressed and lived horrible things with Chester, but wow! this has me floored.

    Enjoy the book.

  14. The idea of garlic tea is rather baffling, but I'm rather sure it will taste good!

    A very enjoyable blog from what I've read.

    Best,
