Printed Books Giveaway Hop - Feb 1st - 7th! (INTL)

Hi guys!

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers...the place to be when you're feeling bookish and the need to read is overpowering.  Yes, we love indulging those feelings here.  ^_^

Today we are celebrating our love of books, but more specifically, PRINTED BOOKS.  Ebooks are fine and dandy, I mean even I indulge in them from time to time and as long as you're reading, who am I to tell you to stop using your preferred format...but there is something different about the reading experience for me when a book is in its physical form.  Holding the book, feeling its weight in your hands; the texture of the cover, the smoothness of the page.  The beauty of its very presence in your "current reads" stack.  Once read, you gain the ability to flip through the pages, scanning passages that captured your heart or remembering characters met and places visited like old friends in a photo album...plus the chance to visit it all again with a quick jaunt over to its new home on yourself bookcase.  Ah yes, behold the power of the PRINTED BOOK.  *sigh*  With that in mind, as soon as I saw this giveaway hop open up, I knew I had to participate.  

So, are you ready to hop?  Here's the deal...

Printed Books Giveaway Hop

Hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer

February 1st to 7th

Ebooks are becoming more and more popular but there are still many people who prefer printed books.  

This hop features only printed books (no ebooks allowed).

I pondered.

I thought.

I ruminated.

I scrambled.

I rummaged through both my mind and my personal library as I tried to figure out just what book to give away.  I mean, should I go classic or contemporary?  Fiction or non?  Kids or Adult?  So many options, so many great titles that I could include.  In the end, I was struck with an idea.  Why not celebrate my love of PRINTED BOOKS with a title that's been in print for a considerable length of time and is cherished by many AND a book that celebrates readers and the books they love with a dash of humor?  Why not indeed!  So, my prize pack was born.  Here's the scoop...

There will be ONE winner.

The winner may be US or International.

The winner's home determines the prize.

US winner will receive...

(1) paperback copy of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

AND

(1) paperback copy of Judging a Book by Its Lover:  A Field Guide to the Hearts and Minds of Readers Everywhere by Lauren Leto

AND

...a bookish surprise or two to go along with them.  ^_^

Pretty cool, right? 

Now for our international friends, seeing as we know how international shipping rates can be, I can't send the same prize pack, but what I can do is offer them the chance to create their own.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

International winner will receive...

A book or books of their choice up to $10 (US) from Book Depository!

What is Children's Book Week?

Established in 1919, Children's Book Week is the longest-running literacy initiative in the country. Each year, books for young people and the joy of reading are feted for a full week with author and illustrator appearances, storytelling, parties, and other book-related events at schools, libraries, bookstores, museums, and homes from coast to coast!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sounds like the PERFECT reason to celebrate the joys of reading, right?  (AS if we needed one.... ^_^)  So in the spirit of the week, I give you MY contribution to the hop.

THE PRIZE:

(1) hardback edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling

You now the one.  It contains the wizard tales told to non-Muggles as a child.....

(1) The Characters of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Stained Glass Art book

It's a coloring book, only not.  The pages are sorta see through so if you color them with markers, you get a unique work of art that looks like stained glass when displayed on a window!

(1) paperback edition of 43 Old Cemetery Road, Book 1: Dying to Meet You by Kate Klise

Another of my favorite children's series, every story is told through letters, emails, menus, newspaper clippings, etc.  It's quite creative and oh-so-much fun! 

(1) chapter sampler of Young Fredle by Cynthia Voight

If you're like me, you're always on the look out for your next read...and what better way to try out a new book than reading an extended sample!  It wets your whistle and leaves you thirty for more...and really, the little mousy on the front of this one is TOO CUTE!

(1) promo activity pack from The Duckling Gets a Cookie plus balloons, pencils and stickers!

Who doesn't love this series with it's simple yet always great artwork?

(1) four pack of signed bookplates from the Magic Tree House series

I know there's a lot of fans of this extended series out there....and these bookplates are just the ticket to keep them safely in YOUR library.

(1) sheet of 39 Clues bookmarks

Self explanatory....what reader couldn't use MORE bookmarks?!

(1) bookmark featuring the great children's book, Big Boys Don't Spy by K.E.M. Johnson

Again with the bookmarks, but this one features a children's title you may not have seen and want to check out in the near future.  Been there, read that...and thoroughly enjoyed it!  Check my site for the review if you're interested in finding out more...

Sound good?

I thought you might enjoy it.

Now, here's what you've been scanning this post for.....

HOW TO ENTER:

Just fill out THIS FORM and you're in!

THE RULES:
