    I would love to win The Language of Flowers.
    One of may favorite reads in the last few years was Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I thought it was amazing!

  2. Mr Penumbra’s 24 hour Bookstore – Robin Sloan would be awesome.

    I am tweeting your giveaway (@bookjourney)

    The book I am still raving about two years later is Ready Player One.

  3. I’d love to win The Language of Flowers. Thanks for the opportunity! I’ve tweeted about your great giveaway.

    The most recent book that blew my mind was actually Wuthering Heights, a 167 year-old morbid tale that I didn’t expect to enjoy AT ALL.

  4. Marie says:

    I’d love to read Mr. Penumbra’s Bookstore. I love books about books. I’m reading The China Study right now, and it’s pretty much changing my life. As for fiction, I loved Once We Were Brothers, and of course, The Goldfinch.

  5. Zsuzsanna says:

    Mr Penumbra’s 24 hour Bookstore, please.
    Novecento by Alessandro Baricco was quite heartstopping for me.
    And Silk, also by him.
