This is for all of you who may be just joining us, and missed the contest last week. Or those of you who did enter, but alas, didn't win. Here's another chance!
About Round 2: It will be run exactly the same as Round 1, but the trivia questions are different, and we will run it longer this time (to give more people a chance at it). Good luck, and for those who missed it last week, here are some other tidbits about "The Book of Life" and the Trilogy in general.
To recap:
- Critics called THE BOOK OF LIFE “juicy and action-packed” (People), “superlative” (Miami Herald), and “extraordinarily rich…an unforgettable and spellbinding finale that's not to be missed.” (USA Today). You can see more praise here.
- Read a Q&A session with Deborah Harkness here: A Conversation with Deborah Harkness
- Deb’s THE BOOK OF LIFE Spotify playlist of the music that inspired her as she was writing can be listened to here: Author's 'Book of Life' Spotify Playlist
- Listen to clips of the Audiobooks read by Jennifer Ikeda (click the following links):
* Clip of 'A Discovery of Witches'
* Clip of 'Shadow of Night'
* Clip of 'The Book of Life'
One more thing, and we'll leave you to it. This will save everyone time in the end! We noticed a few things while drawing for Round 1. We went through quite a few names prior to landing someone qualified to win. Here are the situations we ran into:
- When drawing an entry that required an entrant to follow us on social media, and they weren't following at the time of the drawing, they were disqualified. If you follow us on social media for an entry, we will follow-up to check that you are indeed a follower at the time of the drawing. This does not apply to Facebook. If you have no intention of following us on social media for at least the duration of the contest, then please do not opt to use those choices as entries. You don't have to follow us, and we made sure we assigned high points to the trivia questions for that reason.
- Wrong answers to trivia question entries: disqualified--for the trivia questions, it's open book! Phone a friend! 'Google' it if you want to! Oh heck, 'Bing' it if you have to! We don't care how you get the answer, and spelling doesn't bother us. We just need a correct answer.
- Entering from an I.P. (Internet Protocol) address that wasn't in the U.S. - yes, Rafflecoptor has a feature that allows us to see the country you are entering from: disqualified. This last drawing, we ran into this a couple of times. We do hold internationally available giveaways often, it just happens that this is not one of them. Keep an eye out, we hold these contests throughout the year!
Please read and follow the terms and conditions listed at the end of this post. We really want to give these items away, but we also want to be fair, and stay true to the letter and spirit of the giveaway. Thank you!
And last, but certainly not least: enter the giveaway! This is Round 2!
