Winner of The Bitter Seed of Magic is Winnie!

Writer Suzanne McLeod - author of the Spellcrackers.com series has generously offered a signed copy of The Bitter Seed of Magic for a contest.

This is the third of the series - due out in the United Kingdom in just a couple weeks (February 17th).

  • The contest is open internationally
  • Leave a comment here with the name of your top five favorite newest series. I'm looking for series that have came out in and since 2009. For instance- The Spellcrackers.com would be in my top five of the newest because I first read it in 2009; Devon Monk's Magic series (Allie Beckstrom - Magic in the Blood, etc) would also be there because it came out in 2009. At least get as close as you can. :) It's not school - not a test, just a generalization.

The books that were previously listed as free to a good home have been deleted, as no one seemed to want them.  : ( 
They will go to the local Library for their booksale (as soon as I figure out where and when to donate them)


Now this page will be for any current giveaways - which I won't have very often (I don't thinK)  I plan to use only books that have remained in good shape after suffering me reading them. This is difficult for me achieve (I used to be much better at it) since I have grandchildren running around frequently and all our books are at all times accessible to the kids (promotes a love of books).  Grandchildren story starts here - (feel free to skip over-if you dare!) My granddaughter likes to pretend to read them, and now my grandson also loves to hold them, and skim through the pages.  Which is odd because there aren't even any pictures on the inside, just words, which I assume means nothing to them at the moment...although my granddaughter is beginning to show an interest in letters - she is asking what an L is, an A etc.  Her name starts with an "L".
