But the debut of Twilight this past weekend, generating $70.6 million in two days, caught my attention. Now I've read these books, but I figure I won't see the movie till it's out on
In the meantime, however, I think it's possible that there may be a few folks left on the planet who haven't read the books yet. On the off-chance that might actually be true, I've decided to give away the entire Twilight Series, by Stephanie Meyer.
Yep, you heard right. I've got a copy of each of the four books in the series (all read just once and in new condition -- well, except for the first one, which my son sat on last week; ooops).
It's a win-win situation: someone will get to read the series, while I get to clear off some shelf space and watch a spike in my blog traffic for a couple of days (cheap entertainment). Good times, right?
Now because I figure it's going to cost me in the neighborhood of $3,250.00 to ship these bad boys, I'm going to have to limit it to the U.S. and Canada this time. So that means that I now owe my international friends two giveaways just for them -- I'll make good on that, I promise!
So leave me a comment if you want to be entered. I'll leave it open until December 5th at midnight, Pacific Time and then draw a winner.
Wow! Awesome giveaway! I haven't read these books yet, and would be thrilled to win.
ReplyDelete(My son sat on one of my giveaway books last month, bending the cover, so I totally understand.)
I'm one of those people who hasn't read them yet. Even my friends who NEVER read have! It would be so cool to win them :)
ReplyDeleteGreat, giveaway. I want in. I am trying to order them from the library but there is a long line.
ReplyDeleteAlright, please enter me...I have yet to read these, starting to feel like one of the few. Thanks!

I'd love to win these - I haven't read them yet, and am feeling a little lost at the hoopla surrounding Twilight... =P
ReplyDeleteI found your giveaway on LT- I have friends who rave about this series, but still haven't managed to read them myself. Please enter me in this fun giveaway!

I haven't read these yet and have them on my TBR list. My 13-year-old daughter is also interested -- she debated buying the first one recently with her BN gift ard. We'd love to win them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!
I haven't read these, believe it or not. And I probably won't until they fall into my lap.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I found this through LibraryThing
Wow Michele! Great giveaway!! I would love a chance to read the series. My niece was over a few weekends ago to stay the night, and she is bugging her mom to get her the series! I'd love to read them and then pass them on to her!

Wow - you sure know how to generate some buzz! I'm not interested in reading these books but if I won, I'd donate them to my community's library. I bet there's a quite a wait to check them out.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a complete set of the Twilight series! I've been planning to read them so I can see what everyone is so excited about, but I haven't had a chance yet. My email address is rmsacks at hotmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteApparently I'm not only one of the last six people in this hemisphere not to have a cell phone, but also not to have read these books. Thanks for the chance to rectify at least one of those situations.
ReplyDeleteruthann (dot) francis (at) gmail (dot) com
For my "snappy comeback" (love that) I will say that I don't own any of them but I did read them when they first came out. I would like to reread them and pass them on to my cousin to read during her chemo. I liked them but not as well as Harry Potter. I can see why teenagers are nutso for them though. Ah, young love!
ReplyDelete5wrights1(at)verizon(dot)net
I had to borrow all mine from the library when I read them. I'd live to be entered!
ReplyDeleteLadytink_534[at]yahoo[dot]com
I am one of those few "book lovers" who haven't read these yet. That doesn't mean that I'm not dying to though! I would love to win!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I would love to win a set to give my sister before she wears my set out. :) Please toss my namein the hat.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I've heard so much about these books, and altho they're not the genre I usually enjoy, my granddaughter thinks they are wonderful. I'd love to win the set.
ReplyDeleteI want to win these because everyone seems to be in love with the series and I want to see what all the hype is about and judge for myself if the Twilight series is so great!
ReplyDeleteThanks - please enter me.

A lot of my friends have told me that the Twilight series is awesome, but I've never had the chance to read them. So please enter me in the giveaway.

I feel like I'm missing something good - I'd love to read this series. Thanks for the chance. (My books are always getting sat on - usually by cats.)

I haven't had a chance to read these yet so I would love to be entered--I've been trying to get them from the library but there is a terribly long waiting-list.
ReplyDeleteSeveral people have recommended this series to me, and I'm totally interested in reading it. What a great contest!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read them yet, so I would LOVE to be entered!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Love the contest-give away
ReplyDeleteI have not read the books, however I work at a University Library and the students have been discussing it - I would love the opportunity to read and catch up with the students discussion.
I've never read these books so I'd definatly like to be entered into your giveaway! Thanks. Do you know is the movie based on the first book or all of them?
ReplyDeleteYay! This is on my 'to be picked up' list at the library so I would love them. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these copies. I don't care what shape they're in as long as they're readable!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these (or Harry Potter either for that matter). I don't read a lot of YA, but I do read paranormal romance and about other immortal types.
ReplyDeleteI'm sticking this in my sidebar with the other blog giveaways. I have a big giveaway going on (come on over) so maybe you'll get some visitors from my blog (I hope).
I would love to be entered.

So count me as one of the few people who has not read these books. I keep meaning to.... Does that count? :) Thanks for the chance to win and learn what all the fuss is about!
ReplyDeleteI've read the first one, but not the others, so I'd love to win!
ReplyDeleteI would love to give these to my friends! She hasn't read any of the books but I'm going to make for read it because there's an extremely high change that she'll love it =)
ReplyDeleteOh, it's such a hot thing now and I will see the movie, but getting a chance to read the books is great.
ReplyDeleteThank You,

Add me to the list of people who haven't read them. The deadline is my anniversary, maybe it'll be lucky for me!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm not the only one who hasn't read them yet! Great giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity to enter! :')
ReplyDeleteindygo88 at msn dot com
WOW, what an amazing giveaway! I haven't read them yet so winning them would be so great :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Oooh, I would love to win this series! I haven't read any of them and I've been wondering if they are as good as all the buzz! I won't be seeing the movie, at least not for a while. When a movie is based on a book I always like to read the book first, the movies usually can't do the book justice, IMO. Thanks for a great contest!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! I do not own nor have I read any of these books, yet I have read and loved "Host"; I would love to win these books and I love that you are giving me the opportunity to do so!!!

ReplyDeleteAfter having 7 kids I completely understand about the baby sitting on the book. lol
I'd love a chance to win these books. I haven't read them either, although of course I know plenty of fans!
ReplyDeleteAhmazing giveaway! I've totally wanted to read this whole series; I don't have the chance to buy them since I can't keep up with my book buying expensive. So I stop now and then to be able to splurge at WaldernsBooks. (:
ReplyDeleteLoved to be entered!

The WHOLE Twilight series?! I want! I've only read the first two books, and the others are hard to get my hands on at libraries, so winning them would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteOH YES, GREAT GIVEAWAY, count me in! Thanks:)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win the series. I'd like to read them, but I haven't found the time yet. If I win, I'll make time to read them!!
ReplyDeleteI am also guilty of not having read these books yet either. Please put an end to my ignorance so I can converse with my granddaughter! Thank you very much!

I would love to win a book in this great series because I have heard great things. Keep up the great giveaways =)
ReplyDeletemizzcasey02@gmail.com
I haven't read them either. And don't plan to. The descriptions do nothing at all for me (so don't enter me in your giveaway because it would be mean for someone who doesn't intend to read them to win). But I just thought I'd add I did an informal survey of some friends and family on the weekend (mostly addict-level readers) and only 3 of the 16 people I asked had actually read any of the books and none of the 3 had read all of the books.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be entered to win these! I'm among the not as few as you would imagine who hasn't managed to lay my hands on these yet. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these to read then share on my blog also. Thanks for offering the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOh, man! Would I love to have a set of these books! They've been on my "to read" list for some time now but haven't been able to get out to buy them.
ReplyDeletewow...I'd love to win this one, I have been wanting to get into this but can;t afford to pick them up.
ReplyDeletejcl626(at)mail.usask.ca
I haven't read these, nor has my 16 yr old daughter. We're going on a LOOONNNNGGGG road trip over Christmas and this would be AWESOME for us! I would be forever grateful if I won and when we're done, we'd pass them on!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would LOVE to have me win these for her! Thanks--
ReplyDeleteI saw your link on LT and I'd love to enter your contest. My younger sister adores these books, and I'm curious to try them. Thanks! wisewoman83 at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing contest :) I'd love to have the full set!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great opportunity!
It's so great that you are giving away the full set! I'd love to be entered. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteP.S. My youngest daughter used to sit on *everything*, but she grew out of it eventually :)
What an awesome, generous giveaway! I have always LOVED vampires and vampire stories. (My very first fave book was Bunnicula!) I would be thrilled to win this.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read these books yet and as I librarian I suppose I should so to get them for free would be really awesome. The holds list for them is ridiculously long with all the movie hype so it would be like next Christmas by the time I got to read them if I had to wait for that and I can't afford to buy them...so anyway pick me!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic giveaway! My beloved sister-in-law, living in Germany, would love, love, love these and I would like to get a read in, too!

I'd love to win these, what a great giveway! I've given away my copies to my sister and would love to actually be able to read them myself!

I'm so glad I saw your comment on LT or I would never have seen your site. I am entering because I teach reading (35 years) in middle school and really want to finally read these books since every girl I teach just about has been talking about them since last year. Want to know what the fuss is about and be able to relate to them every time one does one of the series as a book report. Keeping my fingers crossed and I think you little one sitting on one of the books will only make it that more special! His "seal of approval"!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that your giving away the entire series!
ReplyDeleteThese books are nearly impossible to find in my little town, and getting them from the library is probably not worth hoping for, lol.
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteParadox - I posted the winner here. Kanellio won, but left no way to contact her and didn't respond to the winner's announcement within 3 days, so I re-drew another name and The Tome Traveller won.
