Yes, you read right! I have joined in The Literary Blog hop coming up at the end of October. But, I would love to know what type of books you would like to see as a give away. I could, of course, do the choosing myself, but I thought, well, it would be great to actually see what people want to read so your assistance will be required to help out and let me know…!
And while we are on the topic of what to read, who is keen to read the new JK Rowling book The Casual Vacancy?
I have a mixed feeling, the synopsis of the book doesn’t really appeal BUT this is the lady who gave us Harry Potter and I LOVED Harry Potter. Luckily I didn’t have to wait in queues to buy my copies when I bought them in the UK and I wouldn’t have to wait in a queue for the latest offering but to read it or not to read it that is the question.
You know what the answer is don’t you? Of course, I am going to read it!
And you?
Tell us in the comments what your thoughts are, and don’t forget to mention what you would love as a give away…
I don’t know if I’ll read it… If I see it at the library I guess I might. But the premise sounds kind of bland.
As for giveaways, I would say go for something distinctly South African, or just something different and new. Last time’s Memoirs of an Imaginary friend was an excellent pick!
I’m curious to know what you think of Rowling’s book. I’m on the fence about whether to purchase it. I was happy to see the price for the e-book come down a bit, but it’s still more expensive than most of the e-books I read. Rowling can command a high price, but maybe not for a book that has received, at best, mixed reviews. As for the premise, I like contemporary fiction for adults and idyllic English towns, but it may be a bit too dark for me.
