A Discovery of Witches Preview and Giveaway!

To celebrate the Halloween season here at Debbie's Book Bag, we have a very interesting giveaway for you!

It's a two-part giveaway to showcase the upcoming release of A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
, which will release on February 8, 2011. Check out the synopsis of the book and a an awesome book trailer.

Synopsis:

A richly inventive novel about a centuries-old vampire, a spellbound witch, and the mysterious manuscript that draws them together.

Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Diana has stumbled upon an coveted treasure lost for centuries - and she is the only creature that can break it's spell.

Debut novelist Deborah Harkness has crafted a mesmerizing and addictive read, equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense. Diana is a bold heroine who meets her equal in vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont, and gradually warms up to him as their alliance deepens into an intimacy that violates age-old taboos. This smart, sophisticated story harks back to the novels of Anne Rice, but it is as contemporary and sensual as the Twilight series - with an extra serving of historical realism.






Part 1 of the giveaway is for a finished copy of the book, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness which will be mailed to the winner when it releases in February.

Part 2 is for Book Buttons based on the book. These will be shipped as soon as a winner is chosen.

    Discovery of Witches looks like it will be a great read- though I will likely stay awake 24 hours to read it ... which is an ongoing cause of sleep deprivation for me ;)

  11. I'm A Vamp Chick Groupy;) With that said I am also love all PNR & UF creatures that Go Bump In the Night. Witches would be my second choice & then I'd probably pick Demons & select human last. Really, What pros are there to being human compared to all the other choices? ;D Happy Halloween..
