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.

I would love to win these books. For myself I’d like The Only True Genius.
When my Father died years ago we had several unresolved issues. Sounds as if this book speaks to that.
I’d give 201 Things to do when kids are bored to my step-daughter whose two boys drive her crazy every summer when they are bored.
All of the books would find happy homes, either with me or family/friends/acquaintances.
Pick me, pleeeeeese
I could really use 201 Things to Do When Kids Say “I’m Bored”.
I’d be so excited to get to read “The Day Leo Said I Hate You” – my preschooler is using that every morning & every night… and nothing has really helped. Perhaps this book could get through to him.
I have read reviews of The Apothecary’s Daughter and it is on my list to read. Sounds good.
Thanks for participating in the giveaway!
