These are all great books. In order to enter my giveaway, simply comment with which book you would like if you are the winner.

I will contact the winner by email the end of next week. The winner will have 3 days to respond with their address otherwise I will pick another name.
** I am so sorry but I have so far not been able to get the list of Literary Blog Hop participants to come post clearly here. Until I do, please visit Leeswammes blog to enter other giveaways in this awesome Hop!

I love your taste in books! Just discovered you through this Hop and am now a follower via email, gfc, and twitter. I would truly love to win The Spectator Bird. I didn't realize Stegner had published this many books. I've only read Angle of Repose and loved it! You've also inspired me to add The Folded Earth to my TBR pile. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway~

You have a lot of Wallace Stegner books. Have never read him but will remember his name!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I LOVE the cat reading picture at the top of your page. I have that image on a card and have been too greedy to give it to anyone because I love it so much. :P
ReplyDeleteAs for books, I would love a copy of Crossing to Safety. My email is readwriteandlive[at]hotmail[dot]com. Also, feel free to check out my giveaway. I'm giving away any book of choice. :)
Cheers!
Jenna
I've never read any Stegner but I think I'd have to pick The Big Rock Candy Mountain just because of the name! I've seen the Networked Blogs but have never checked it out. I'll come join you!
ReplyDeletethe spectator bird sounds appealing so will choose that if picked, leaving me with the wonderful task of wishing you a great bloghop
ReplyDeleteSly Slink -Ulrike Draesner
sly slink to the shelves: the way you remove
an old book and read till the dawn’s first
talon turns as rosy as sludge from a lung
a raid on the heavens, hazy – the old minnesong
ruffling a sky that’s decked with plume strokes
of heron crane, ornate enlightened november
put on wrist warmers, finger-play for a twilight
on the window sill a pair of wasps, she plump
he slight strapped to her back, fucking they are
which lasting long’s a thousand wasps, stings
in the coming year. quick, you too hear
the tumult in your breast (maids ladies brain
skein) the way that shape flies up at the
camera’s click, it’s undivided still, abuzz!
for a moment you ponder the yellow leaf the
red leaf their slinking quiver the sun’s
short stab, sailing falling coming cold
I would like to win A Shooting Star.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for this giveaway!

Thanks for the giveaway (and for joining the blog hop). I'd like to choose Crossing to Safety if I win. I obviously have to try Stegner, I haven't read any of his books.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The author is unknown to me so I leave it to you to decide the book for me in case I win.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Hello, I have also not read any books by Wallace Stegner but chose at random Angel of Repose. Thanks, Ceri
ReplyDeletecerievans1[at]gmail[dot]com
The first three Wallace Stegner books pictured here are all on my Best Books Ever list. I must tell you that I've never read either of the other two and I'd love to do so (I suspect I will rave over them, too.)
