A Big Bloggy Giveaway of Books

January 26, 2009 by Jennifer

Welcome to the 5 Minutes for Books’ Bloggy Giveaway. We are offering one lucky reader this entire collection of brand new books worth over $120 that have been featured here on 5 Minutes for Books.

I tried to pick books that represented the wide variety of books that we review here each week. We feature popular fiction and Christian fiction for adults, as well as interesting non-fiction titles. We also offer reviews to help you find great books for your children, be they two or twelve.

The other thing that a new reader might find of interest is our Tuesday community events. Each week we have a different carnival that allows our readers to share What’s On Their Nightstand or their own thoughts on a Classic that we tackle that week, or a favorite Children’s Classic, or books that their Kids Pick. Read our “Join In” page to learn more about each of these carnivals.

If you love books and reading, please sign up for our feed so you won’t miss any of our posts or giveaways (we give away at least one book each week).

If you’d like to win this package of books worth over $120, leave a comment saying which book sounds most appealing to you. The books are linked to their original reviews, so you can find out more about the books if you missed the reviews the first time around.

Novels for You:

The Apothecary’s Daughter

The Only True Genius in the Family — reviewed today in the books column at 5 Minutes for Mom

The Little Giant of Aberdeen County

Activity Books:

The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems Fingerplays and Chants

201 Things to Do When Kids Say “I’m Bored”

Books for your Kids:

Strictest School in the World series from Kids Can Press (set of 3 chapter books)

The Day Leo Said I Hate You

So–to be eligible to win (U.S. shipping addresses only), leave a comment here telling me which book excites you most, and if your name is randomly selected, you’ll win the entire set of books! We’ll announce the winner on Sunday February 1. This giveaway is CLOSED. Thanks to all who entered!

For more awesome giveaways, check out the other offerings at the Bloggy Giveaways carnival.

    I’d have to say that the 2 activity books are most appealing to me… I’m always looking for new things to do with my boys!

    I’d love to have the two activity books especially. I’m always looking for things to do with my children!

    The Apothecary’s Daughter sounds like a great book. I have read previous reviews and so have been wanting to read it. Thanks for all of the book reviews too!

    I would love to have the Complete book of rhymes, songs… It would be great to work through those with my 1 year old son. My 5 year old has more than enough to occupy her (I think) and I hardly have time to read novels these days but I like to keep something around for when I do get the time.

    I would love to read the apothecary’s daugther. Novels about those with disablities appeal to me because I work in ped rehab. Also, the kids books would be great as it would give those I work with something to take their mind off of all the hard work I ask them to do.

    This sounds like a great package!

  8. Jennifer M says

    I just read a review of the Little Giant of Aberdeen County, and it sounds very intriguing.

  9. Michelle says

    January 28, 2009 at 11:43 am

    I think my favorite is “The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems Fingerplays and Chants.” I’ve got 4 kids, aged 8, 5, 4, and almost 1 – they’d love it!

  10. Cathy M says

    “The Little Giant of Aberdeen County” got a fabulous review in our local paper and I’ve been eager to read it ever since! Well, I love to read period, but this one really piqued my interest.

    Thanks!

    Strictest School in the World – My daughter is about to get her elementary ed degree and is starting to compile her own little library to use in her classroom. This would be great for that.

  32. Terri says

    January 28, 2009 at 3:06 pm

    Okay, the book about the many things to do when a child is bored. We’re snowed in here, and I could definitely use this book today.
