June Free Books!
I’m sorry that my Free Book Post is so late this month. It’s been a busy time, with something almost every night at the school where my husband is principal. This time of year is always hectic, but also lots of fun.
Okay, free books! This month I thought it might be appropriate to tie our drawing into vacation dreams. Please note, these are ONLY dreams. I’m NOT giving away a free vacation. (I wish I could!)
If you had the choice among these three vacations (All expenses paid), which would you choose?
1) A 7-day cruise to Alaska: glaciers, whale watching, spa package, stops to shop at wonderful little seaside villages with stores full of Native crafts – AND a large veranda suite.
2) A week in the Big Apple: a deluxe hotel suite, three Broadway musicals, a carriage ride around Central Park, shopping, museums, sightseeing tours, lunch at Bubba Gumps on Broadway…
3) Six nights, seven days in England: a 5-star Hotel Suite in London, sightseeing, shopping, changing of the guard, quaint little pubs, bookstores, antique stores (sigh!).
Our pretend vacations include all meals, First Class Air and $1000 spending money. (We’re dreaming, right? Dream big!)
Now, in the spirit of Emily Dickinson’s famous quote, “There is no frigate like a book,” here’s a little bit about the journeys you MAY make – all expenses paid – via the words of two great books.
CRUEL AS THE GRAVE is a Sharon Kay Penman mystery set in 12th-century London. Solve a murder with Sharon’s super-sleuth Justin de Quincy. NEW YORK is a novel by Edward Rutherfurd. You will visit the changing vistas of New York City as Rutherfurd skillfully guides your journey from 1664 through 2009. Both books are brand new. NEW YORK is a hardcover book club edition. CRUEL AS THE GRAVE is a hardcover publisher’s edition.
Post your choice of vacation and maybe you’ll win a journey via the magic of words to New York or London! The drawing will be held on Monday, June 28. I will notify the winners with a Post on this Blog and also by email. I will send the books to the winners via USPS Book Rate.
Blessings! Sue
Another vote for Alaska! Thank you Awilda.
Would love the Alaskan cruise and take nature as it comes. Love the beauty of it what one gives off to oneself.
Ah, a book, a veranda and Alaska. It’s hard to beat that combination!
I’d have to take the Alaskan cruise. I just want to relax and take in the beauty of nature. I’ll stay on the veranda with a book.
All right, two for England!
England for me 🙂
Yes, that bar-b-que shrimp, yum! But England does sound wonderful!
Was a hard decision. Love Alaska and cruising. Bubba Gumps bar-b-que shrimp is to die for. Pint in English pub. Sooo, words take me away to Merry Old England!
