Giveaway: A Discovery of Witches


Here's a fun Halloween giveaway for you.


I have a set of buttons from the upcoming book A Discovery of Witches

by Deborah Harkness.


The winner will also receive a copy of the book once it is available the beginning of 2011.






Here's the book desription:

A richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together. Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library.

Diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.

Debut novelist Deborah Harkness has crafted a mesmerizing and addictive read, equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense. Diana is a bold heroine who meets her equal in vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont, and gradually warms up to him as their alliance deepens into an intimacy that violates age-old taboos. This smart, sophisticated story harks back to the novels of Anne Rice, but it is as contemporary and sensual as the Twilight series-with an extra serving of historical realism.

Have to admit I'm partial to humans. (Most of my favorite people are humans!) Of the others, I prefer vampires, then witches. Thanks for a great giveaway. (Email in profile.)

I prefer vampires!

booklover0226 said...

If you had asked me the same question a couple of years ago, I would have said vampires. Now, I'm a demon fixation.

If you ask me next week, I'm sure I'll have another answer!

Thanks,

My favorite genre as of late is paranormal romance books. My latest read being "Stronger Than Sin" by Caridad PiƱeiro. The paranormal elements in this book are different, but very exciting. Oh, and if I had to choose between reading a book about witches or a book about vampires, I would probably pick vampires.

Sherry said...

I like vampires. This sounds like a very good book.

First and foremost, I'm A Vamp Chick Groupy. With that said, I am also a fan of any & all Paranormal or UF books that Goes Bump In the Night. Witches would be my second choice but I enjoy every creature be it from Angels to Demons and everything else in between ;D Happy Halloween..
