Banned Books Week Giveaway Hop

 
banned

Mary from Book Hounds and Kathy from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer is hosting a giveaway hop to celebrate banned books! I joined this giveaway hop because out of all the banned books I’ve read, I’ve loved them all. They do not deserved to be banned in any way, shape, or form.

The winner can choose any book they want from The Book Depository from this goodreads list. You also have the option to choose to win a copy of Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell since some schools are trying to ban it from their bookshelves.

This contest is open internationally as long as The Book Depository delivers to you. The book must also cost $15 or less from The Book Depository.

Terms & Conditions:

  • This contest is open INTERNATIONALLY (as long as the Book Depository delivers to you. The list can be found here).
  • You must be 18 years or older, or have parents’ permission to enter.
  • All your entries will be disqualified if you pickup entries for something you haven’t done.
  • If you only use ONE account to do all these tasks and enter under different names, they will still only constitute as ONE entry.
  • If the winner does not respond to my e-mail within 48 hours, I will have to choose another winner.
  • I am not responsible for any items lost in the mail.

Use the Rafflecopter below to enter:

    I would pick Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. One of my favourite teachers recommended this book to me a long time ago, and due to my fear of “war books”, I’ve never picked it up.

    Until I’d seen the GoodReads list you linked, I didn’t know I’d ever read a banned book. I find it so interesting that people would ban books like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games.
