Guess what came in the mail today? -- actually the most books I have ever received, but I'll tell you what you may be more interested in. Four signed novels by Melina Marchetta that I'm going to be giving away to two (2) lucky people!
What books have I got up for grabs?
*Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta.
*Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta.
*On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta, (hardcover).
And for residents out of Australia this is a HUGE ARC.
*Finnkin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta.
The lovely Melina Marchetta was very kind and sent me all of these books! So a HUGE yay for Melina Marchetta!!
So, how's this competition working? Well, two lucky people will get two books each. The first person I draw out will win:
*Finnkin of the Rock & Looking for Alibrandi.
The second person I pick out will win:
*On the Jellicoe Road & Saving Francesca.
How do you enter? Well, to enter all you have to do is comment on this post and leave your email address, extra entry's will be given if:
*You were a follower before this competition started that gets you three (3) extra entry's, (but you need to comment on this post so I know that you're interested).
*If you sign up to follow my blog then I will give you two (2) extra entry's.
*Another entry will be given if you comment on Melina Marchetta's interview that will posted in the next couple of days
*You will be given five (5) entry's if you advertise this competition on your blog (side bar is fine).
This part is going to be tricky, as the competition is international YES INTERNATIONAL (seeing as if it wasn't I'd probably be sending the books to myself...) and all of our times are different. The competition will end roughly on Tuesday the 9th of December at midnight, so if you're north of the equator I'm guessing that it'll be Monday over there, so I'll post when the competition has officially ended to clear up confusion about the end of the competition.
Winners will be drawn and announced sometime Wednesday the 10th of December (my time) Tuesday your time. I'll post the winners on the blog and email them, they'll have two days to get in contact with me, if they don't, sadly enough, then I will draw out new winners.
I have read all of these books and can tell you that each and everyone of them is awesome. The review for Finnkin of the Rock can be found here and the review for Saving Francesca can be found here.
If this information has seriously confused you, email me at the address at the top of the page.
Well, good-luck!
--Allie.

Hi Allie!
I just found your blog, after following a link from BTL. I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GOT TO INTERVIEW MELINA MARCHETTA! You are amazing! She is my favourite author!I own all of her books except for Saving Francesca, and that is simply because I constantly borrow it from the library! however, they are basically all falling into disrepair from being read WAY too often (and with many, many crinkled pages from tears - i get a little emotional!)
Anyway, I have probably bored you. I just needed a reason to fawn over Melina Marchetta, and i found one!
Thank you for a great interview (and reviews......i have just read them :D )
Thank you
xx
p.s. i would love to win the books - signed! imagine! I cannot believe you do not want to keep them to yourself!
my email is mcmahone@bigpond.net.au
