Giveaway! The Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand


I was going through my books this morning and realized that I have two ARCs of The Castaways. Because I really enjoyed the book (see my review), I'm giving both copies away. This giveaway is international! (I will send the books the least expensive way, so it may take a while to reach you.)

Rules

1. Leave a comment with your email address telling me which island you would visit if money were no object. (1 entry)

2. Tweet or blog about this giveaway (and come back and leave the link in a comment). (1 entry)

3. Subscribe to this blog (through Google, email, RSS). (3 entries)

4. Already a subscriber? Thanks so much. Let me know and you get 5 entries.

New subscribers can have up to 5 entries. Veteran subscribers can have up to 7 entries.

I will use random.org to find two winners when I turn on my computer on the morning of July 25. Good luck!

Thanks for the chance!

If I could visit any island, I would probably head to Greece and spend some time there. Have always wanted to go there.

I would go to.....hmmm.....was going to say Hawaii, but changed my mind. My island adventure would be Palau in Micronesia. THAT sounds exotic.

Will be back after I have tweeted and posted about this to earn more entries.

I also want to thank you for your comments while I've been away. I am now back home and trying to catch up on blogs, tweets and mails.

I'm so happy to find an international giveaway. I subscribe to you and love your blog!

Do I get extra entries for grovelling?

I'd visit the Galapagos Islands if I had loads of money. Those lizards are amazing!

I've never been to Hawaii and unless I win a lottery, probably never will so that would be my dream vacation!

Meghan 7/14/09, 6:52 AM  

The island I'd most like to visit at the moment is Ireland! I'm pretty sure I'll get there in the next year or so and I can't wait.

As you surely must know, I subscribe to your blog. =)

The island I would be on my way to after winning the lotto is kinda boring since I live right next to it :) Newfoundland is my choice, the scenery is beautiful and there's so much undeveloped nature to see, and the fjords in Gros Morne are supposedly amazing!

And I've been following your blog in Google Reader for awhile now.

Thanks for the giveaway :)

I would love to visit St Kilda, an island off the coast of Scotland.

Anonymous,  7/16/09, 3:26 PM  

Ah, an island to visit! Of course, my first choice would be Ireland, but a nice tropical island would be heaven. Warm breezes, cool drinks, miles and miles of white sand and crystal blue water. A Pina Colada and a good book! Perfect.

I follow your blog faithfully!

Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

DarcyO 7/16/09, 4:38 PM  

I'd pick Maui!
