Book Giveaway – The Chocolate Run

So I've been thinking of what I wanted to do for my next giveaway, and I decided on The Chocolate Run by Dorothy Koomson [review].  Why?  Well, first of all, I think Koomson is an amazing author that too few people have heard of and second, this book is currently only available in the UK.  I was lucky enough to get a used copy, and now I'm going to share it with one of you!

Since this is a used copy that has gone through at least two previous homes, it is gently read but in good condition.

To enter:  Leave me a comment on this post telling me your favorite type of chocolate.  (Mine is definitely white chocolate!)  Don't like chocolate?  Talk candy then!  (A tie between Sour Patch Kids and Reese's Pieces).

Second entry:  Blog about the contest and link back here.  Make sure you post the link in the comments!

Third entry:  Stumble one of my reviews.  Let me know which one you Stumbled so I can give you credit for it!  (Don't know what Stumbling is?  Check out this post.)

This book giveaway will run through 11:59 PM on Wednesday, March 25.  For postage cost reasons, US & Canada only, please.  Good luck everyone!

Dark chocolate absolutely positively and from Belgium and preferably from Dumon's in Brugge. Can I go back there right this very minute?

Beth F said...

Ooops! I didn't read all the rules. I'm going to stumble the review for this book. I will also add this to my weekly link up post (and I'll come back on Sunday with the link).

Dark chocolate, preferably with mocha bits embedded!

Thanks! nbmars AT yahoo DOT com

For chocolate, I love anything white chocolate. I especially love the Lindt white chocolate truffles. Favorite candy is definitely Swedish fish. Boy, I love those little guys. :)

If I'm eating plain chocolate, either dark or white is my favorite (depends on my mood). For my favorite chocolate candy, it is definitely the Cadbury Mini Eggs, they are my downfall every spring.

Like Beth I'll be adding this to my weekly link post Saturday or Sunday, I'll leave you the link then.

Do you mean there's a bad kind of chocolate? I like them all, but milk chocolate is probably my favorite. milou2ster(at)gmail.com

I love plain old milk chocoate, especially good mild chocolate. And for some reason those tiny candy covered chocolate kisses. I can't think of what they're called.

I would love to win, by the way.

Dark chocoate is my fav, the darker the better! Hot Tamales are my favorite candy. I love them!

Jo-Jo said...

After reading your review, I would love to win a copy of this book! Since Easter is coming soon, I will say that my favorite candy is the Cadbury Mini Eggs--Not those big ones with the gooey insides. These are the little ones with a hard shell and yummy chocolate in the middle! oh yum-

I wasn't familiar with this author so it's a wonderful idea for a giveaway! I guess I'll say dark chocolate but I'm not a huge chocolate fan. I much prefer twizzlers!

as a chocoholic i must admit i like almost any kind of chocolate (chocolate is by far the best candy ever), but my favorite is 70%-85% quality dark chocolate with grain coffee.

I wish I liked dark chocolate since it is better for you, but I love white or milk chocolate. I prefer Hershey's over Godiva. I am not a fancy girl. I love it with caramel, nuts, toffee, or with anything gooey!

bethany said...

oh, Dark Chocolate is for sure my fave, and any truffles and any um....I just LOVE chocolate. I love brownies for breakfast! I know, that is horrible, I have to hide that from the kids or I will be forever doomed :)!

K. Cleaver said...

I'm also a dark chocolate fan myself. "Milk Chocolate" is too mild for me.

Katie said...

I'm a fan of classic milk chocolate. =]

Esme said...

Favourite type of chocolate -do I have to choose one-Milka and Lindt when I am in Europe and See's at home-milk chocolate of course.

Bcteagirl said...

My favourite type of chocolate is anything with a gourmet or unusual filling. Sea salt lavender? Chipotle pepper? Yes, it is me who keeps buying them. :P

JMom said...

I like dark chocolates, but especially when it's combined with orange flavor.
