Welcome to Proud Book Nerd’s stop on the Banned Books Week Giveaway Hop. This awesome event is hosted by I Read Banned Books and I Am A Reader, Not A Writer.
While I am generally a conservative person, I am very much opposed to book banning. Especially as an American. I don’t think anyone has the right to tell others what they shouldn’t read – nor should anyone tell parents what their kids can read. I think it is the parents’ responsibility to be aware of what their children read. If there’s something they don’t want them to read, fine, but don’t go trying to tell anyone else that it’s unsuitable. Especially not if you haven’t read it yourself! That’s probably what irks me most. People who say books are evil (such as Harry Potter) or inappropriate simply because others are saying that. I think that is ridiculous, and just plain stupid. How can you make such claims without really knowing the object of your ire? Anyway, when I saw that this hop was coming, I jumped at the chance to participate!
The Giveaway
I have three giveaways:
- U.S. Only: A gently used copy of Scars by Cheryl Rainfield.
- U.S./Canada: Any book of your choice off the list HERE (maximum value of $15).
- International (including Canada, excluding U.S.): Any book of your choice off the list HERE (maximum value of $15).
Here are some suggestions, in case you can’t decide:
To Enter
It’s easy. Leave a comment telling me which of the giveaways you’re entering (1, 2, or 3) – if you qualify for more than one, please rank them in order of preference. If you’re entering #2 or #3, make sure to tell me what book you want. (Yes, you can change your mind once the giveaway has ended.) Following is not required, but very much appreciated (the GFC box is in the footer, in case you’re looking for it).
The Fine Print: Giveaway is open to those specified above. For international entrants, Book Depository MUST ship to your country. Given the nature of some of these books, you must be 18 or older to enter (I’m really sorry, but don’t want to anger anyone’s parents). Winners will be chosen with the help of the WordPress plugin And the Winner Is … and notified via e-mail. If I do not receive a response within 48 hours of sending the e-mail, a new winner will be chosen. I am not responsible for books that are lost, stolen, or damaged en route to you.More Giveaways
