It's Twilight Mania

I don't normally address movies around here, simply because with two children under the age of three, I don't get to see movies. Ever. (Okay, except Pixar.)

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 DVD network TV.

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.

  1. Wow! Awesome giveaway! I haven't read these books yet, and would be thrilled to win.

    (My son sat on one of my giveaway books last month, bending the cover, so I totally understand.)

  8. 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.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

  9. I haven't read these, believe it or not. And I probably won't until they fall into my lap.

    P.S. I found this through LibraryThing

  10. 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!

  11. 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.

  12. I 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.

  13. Apparently 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.

  14. 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!

  18. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I 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!

  26. 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?

    ReplyDelete

  29. I 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.

    I'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).

  38. 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!

  63. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'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!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I 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!!!

  78. 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"!

    ReplyDelete
  79. It's great that your giving away the entire series!

    These books are nearly impossible to find in my little town, and getting them from the library is probably not worth hoping for, lol.
