Bastard Giveaway: Awakenings by Edward Lazellari


This will be the first Bastard Giveaway, so bear with me if it doesn't go smoothly. Regardless, hope it'll be the first of many.

This time the giveaway will be an ARC copy of Awakenings by Edward Lazellari provided by an anonymous donor. Book's published by TOR.

This is the debut for the author, you can read a review for the book on Fantasy Literature. From what I've seen so far, a promising debut. Don't miss out.

Contest will run from Monday September 12, 2011 until Sunday September 18, 2011 11:59pm ET, after which no other entry will be accepted.

Giveaway is for US mailing addresses only, and you must be 18 years of age or older to participate. Void where prohibited by law. Giveaway rules are subject to change.

What do you have to do? Just comment on this post, and make sure I have access to your email to contact you. One entry per person allowed, unless you do the Bastard Bonus explained below, else you're disqualified. But you need to comment in this post to participate, and that's your only requirement.

I'll pick the winner by assigning each entry a number and using a random number generator.

Bastard Bonus:

1. If you "Follow" this blog publicly so that you show up the Google Friend Connect (to the right), then you'll have an extra entry for yourself. 

2. If you "Follow" my twitter account, @BastardBooks, then you get an extra entry for yourself (let me know your twitter username).

So while you can only enter the competition once regularly, you'll have the chance to duplicate or triplicate it. If you do follow me in any of those features, try to include them in your comment entry so that it'll be easier for me to look you up and verify. Might be impossible to know who is who otherwise. Following me on Twitter or Google Friend Connect is not enough to enter you in the giveaway, you need to comment in this post.

Bonus Bastard Bonus:

If you re-tweet any tweet of mine I use to promote this giveaway on twitter, you'll get an additional entry (only one). Make sure this is very easily verifiable by me, maybe by posting re-tweet link in your entry comment here. So there you go, if you do everything you have the chance to quadruple your original entry.

Here's a tweet link you can use for re-tweet:
http://twitter.com/#!/BastardBooks/status/113222127653617664

Also, if you follow me on Facebook, then you don't gain anything for it in this competition, but there's a chance you might become that much more awesome.

  1. The summary on Goodreads sounds interesting. It appears the people who have reviewed it seem to like it but that it leaves you with out any closure. Fairly typically for a series.

    Mr. Lawrence: If I win, perhaps I can pass on the book after I read it in exchange for an autograph for my copy of PoT?
