I'm joining Splash Into Summer giveaway hop, hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Page Turners Blog. I'm giving away two new paperbacks (there will be one winner for each, two winners total). I'm also trying Rafflecopter for the first time, so let me know if something doesn't work right. :)
Prize #1 - classics, medieval
The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
"The Canterbury Tales", compiled in the late fourteenth century, is an
incisive portrait, infused with Chaucer's wry wit and vibrant, poetical
language. He evokes a spectrum of colourful characters, from the bawdy
Wife of Bath to the gallant Knight, the fastidious Prioress and the
burly, drunken Miller. As they wend their way from Southwark to
Canterbury, tales are told to pass the time, and the stories are as
diverse as the narrators, encompassing themes such as adultery, revenge,
courtly love, lechery, avarice and penitence. As humorous today as when
it was written over six centuries ago, "The Canterbury Tales" remains
one of the most popular and enjoyable of the classic works of
literature.
Prize #2 - paranormal, romance
Zachariah was a true craftsman. It was the passion to reach true
perfection that drove him to work long after he should have retired. His
work imbued him with a life that few could imagine. With the aid of the
spirit of his long dead wife each piece that was commissioned not only
restored years to Zachariah's life but imbedded each piece with a
special mysticism. Whether the enchantment was one that would enhance
the quality of life, or bring about an erotic affair for someone that
had been alone too long, or bring a curse upon the head of an evil man
no one knew but the jewel itself. Now as a new piece of jewelry has just
been commissioned, jealousy has flared and an evil as old as time
itself is straining against its chains to be unleashed to wreak havoc
upon the latest client, an innocent young girl that has become dear to
Zachariah's heart. Several masterpieces of jewelry, each bearing the
maker's mark of the crimson Z... Five stories of romance, each written
by a different Black Velvet Seductions' author... All told from the lips
of an old jeweler who is falling in love with a girl way too young for
him. Will the jewelry bring the wearer love or will it be a curse
releasing unthinkable evil on unsuspecting lovers?
Giveaway is open to everyone in the world who is 18 years old or older. Winners will be randomly picked at the beginning of June. They will have 48 hours to respond.
