Welcome!
Welcome to the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop!
The Literary Giveaway Blog Hop is hosted by me, Leeswammes. Between now and Wednesday, June 29th, you can hop to over 70 different book blogs, all offering one or more giveaways of books or bookish items. All books will be literary (non)fiction or something close to that. Follow the links at the bottom of this post to find the other participating blogs.
My Giveaway
As part of the blog hop I will be giving away 2 books, which are open for worldwide entries.
Two lucky winners can choose between these books:
In Lucia’s Eyes by Arthur Japin
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark
Neither book is new, but they are in very good condition. You can enter for one book or for both books.
About In Lucia’s Eyes: Historical Fiction by one of the leading literary fiction writers of the Netherlands. Set in 1758, a man is trying to seduce a veiled woman. She resists him, as she knows him from a long time ago. He doesn’t know who she is. Later, the man will become known as the great seducer Cassanova. The book takes place in historical Amsterdam and Venice and is a very good read!
About The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie: It’s the 1930s. Miss Brodie is a schoolmistress with a difference. Proud, cultured, romantic, her ideas are progressive, even shocking. And when she decides to transform a group of young girls under her tutelage into the ‘creme de la creme’ of Marcia Blaine school, no one could have predicted the outcome.
The rules:
- Anyone can enter. You do not need to have a blog.
- I’m sending out the books myself so the only thing you need is a post-office recognised address anywhere in the world, where you can receive packages.
- You do not have to be a follower or become a follower, although if you like my blog I hope you will! You can follow by email or by RSS (see buttons in the side bar on the right).
- Fill out the form below and select which giveaway(s) you want to enter for.
- You can enter the giveaways until June 29th. I will close the giveaway when I turn on my computer on June 30th (Netherlands time).
- Note that double or invalid entries will be removed.
- I will notify the winners by email. The winners need to answer my email within 3 days, or I’ll announce a new winner.
- That’s it! Good luck and thanks for playing.
Fill out the FORM HERE to enter.
The giveaway is now closed and the winners have been randomly chosen.
Now start blog hopping!
For more giveaways (and there are some real treasures out there for grabs) check out these blogs.
Giveaways are either International (Int), meaning people from most or all countries of the world can enter, or limited to a particular country (e.g., USA). Behind each participant’s link you can see which countries are included.

Hi Judith,
I’m so exited to be participating in my first Blog Hop! Thanks so much for the invitation and for coordinating! I already had a couple of visitors this afternoon, so I figured it was time to go live. My post is up here:

Now, I’m off to dinner and a weekend of book touring with novelist James Rollins. Why? That’s just how I roll, LOL. Have a great weekend of blog hopping everyone!

Judith,
As noted above, I was busy touring with Jimbo all weekend, but I was constantly checking the action on the blog. This was–without question–the busiest weekend I’ve ever had. It was so exciting! I’ve picked up a dozen new followers, and finally I’ve got a good robust crowd for a good book giveaway. I seriously can’t thank you enough, Judith. Please count me in for future blog hops!
And now that I’m finally back in front of a computer, I can’t wait to check out all the other blogs. I hope you are having as much fun with this, Judith, as we all are.
Best,
Susan

Oh, goodness! I don’t know which to choose. Both sound so interesting. So, I just tossed a coin and am picking The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway and publicizing it around. I know it must have been a lot of work on your part

Thank you for hosting this fun giveaway and hop!
My mom has been sick, so I never got around to signing up to participate in the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop. I have a June Giveaway going on this month at my blog, and I’d love to invite you to stop in. Unfortunately, it’s a US giveaway this month, but next month, I’ll be offering an international giveaway for an Amazon card.
If you follow my blog, let me know. I always follow back.

Hi debnance, sorry to hear your mother was sick, hope she is better now. If your giveaway is international next month, I’ll pop by and enter.
Have fun with the rest of the hop!

Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!
My mom has been sick, so I never got around to signing up to participate in the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop. I decided to try a monthly giveaway. There is a June Giveaway going on this month at my blog, and I’d love to invite you to stop by and throw your name in the hat for this book! It’s a US giveaway only this month, but next month, I’ll be offering an international giveaway for a $25 Amazon card!

My post is up finally! I was in the Minot, ND area where there is some major flooding, helping my grandmother get herself and her stuff out of there. Such a mess. All is well, though, and the blog is hopping!

It’s really awesome you are hosting this! During weekdays I wasn’t able to really look at what is required for this, let alone write a giveaway post. I hope if you are hosting another one again I’ll join in the next time. I have entered myself on The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. I just want to say this is awesome around the world giveaways.
Leeswammes
June 26, 2011 at 18:18
Glad you enjoyed the blog hop, Jo. I very much enjoyed putting it together and hopping along to other people’s blogs. Maybe October for the next one, but I’m not promising…

Here she is, the woman to blame for making me hop for the past 2 or 3 hours instead of studying!
Great event you’ve organised here! Now I have to catch up on my feeds as I don’t know how many I’ve added to my reader with this blog hop…
By the way, I have something to confess: I failed! I didn’t managed to finish my special book before my birthday. Shame on me! I shouldn’t have picked up a collection of short stories.
Leeswammes
June 29, 2011 at 20:51
Em, si glad you had a good time hopping. Worse is to come: you may win a book and read that instead of studying!
Uh-oh! Still not finished your book! That’s bad. I did finish the book I said I would finish – only just in time, though.
