Giveaway – Poison ARC (15/1/2013)
This week, thanks to the kind ediors at Gollancz, I have an ARC of Poison by Sarah Pinborough to give away.
“…a beautifully illustrated retelling of the Snow White story which takes all the elements of the classic fairytale that we love (the handsome prince, the jealous queen, the beautiful girl and, of course, the poisoning) and puts a modern spin on the characters, their motives and their desires. It’s fun, contemporary, sexy, and perfect for fans of ONCE UPON A TIME, GRIMM, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN and more.”
I haven’t read it yet, but knowing Sarah, expect something sharp, sexy and deeper than it look.
Usual deal – comment on this post before January 19th and I’ll randomly select a lucky victim for a free copy of the book. No special requests this week, just any old comment will do.
Although, though no one has yet complained about how long it takes me to get to the post office and post things, it can take a while and if you live abroad then it can take even longer. Sorry about that, but they do get there eventually. Well, so far.

I would love a copy to review on The Eloquent Page please

I rarely lust after physical books these days but this is a definite want! I will be keeping everything crossed.

This sounds great! If I don’t win it then I’m buying it!
January 15th, 2013 at 9: 39 am
I would love to grab that copy.
Especially since 2013 looks like Sarah Pinborough’s year with “Poison”, “Charm”, “Beauty” and “Mayhem” due to be released. Add to this the possibility to see “Cracked”, the movie based on “The Hidden” and I am totally hooked.

Gimme,gimme,gimme lol

Great love a good read, even better when it’s free!
January 15th, 2013 at 9: 51 am
Looks intriguing; I’d be more than interested in reading this

I’m just a free book slut. Never read any of her stuff before but this looks like a good place to start
January 15th, 2013 at 10: 50 am
We love Sarah and would be delighted to get her book.
January 15th, 2013 at 10: 54 am
Another shameless free book slut here. And Poison would look very nice next to the other (paid-for) Sarah Pinborough novels on my shelf.
January 15th, 2013 at 10: 55 am
Would love a copy to read before the scifi weekender, see if she deserves another glass of wine on top of the ones I’m buying her for the dog faced men trilogy.

A small cockney polar bear was hanging around outside Rose’s Café this morning. He nodded to me and said, ‘Oi oi! ‘ave a look at this.’
I was a bit distracted by the Skyrim badge on his flatcap but he was showing me this web page so I thought, ‘Why not!’
‘Be lucky,’ he said.
I thanked him and went on my way.
True story!

ohpleaseohpleaseohplease
Would love a copy xx
January 15th, 2013 at 11: 20 am
Although I do love a free book this would be a great opportunity for me not only to read one of Sarah’s novels (Haven’t read one as yet). But to hopefully find a new author (for me)that I can go on to read more of.
January 15th, 2013 at 11: 27 am
I know it’s not right to judge a book by its cover, but it’s so beguiling I want the words inside.
January 15th, 2013 at 11: 31 am
Want it now! I discovered Sarah’s work last year and have read everything I can find.
Please send her on tour over here itodarkest CBR. I’ll buy the wine.
January 15th, 2013 at 11: 38 am
Ooooh, I would love a copy. Sarah always offers a great read with endless possibilities.

What’s the best thing about deadly snakes?
They’ve got poisonality.
January 15th, 2013 at 12: 06 pm
Sounds cool!
January 15th, 2013 at 12: 12 pm
Who wouldn’t want a book entitled Poison…not me!!! I hope that means I actually do want the book…because I do
January 15th, 2013 at 12: 27 pm
Ohhh I’ve been following the wiring of this on her Twitter feed, an ARC would make me very happy indeed!
January 15th, 2013 at 12: 45 pm
Yes, please!!!
January 15th, 2013 at 1: 46 pm
Is this the retelling of Snow White or the autobiography of an 80’s heavy rock group? Or both?
January 15th, 2013 at 1: 47 pm
I would love a bit of Poison myself. Note: no one should interpret that to mean a CD from a hair band by the same name. Thank you!
January 15th, 2013 at 1: 53 pm
I would love an ARC of Poison. I’ve read some of Sarah’s short stories and love them.
January 15th, 2013 at 2: 17 pm
Just started following Sarah on twitter and would love to read this book at my home in Perth Australia
January 15th, 2013 at 3: 02 pm
Sarah is 1 of my favourite writers: I genuinely loved the Dog-Faced Gods trilogy. Would love to read & review this, as I’m sure it will be brilliant.
January 15th, 2013 at 3: 12 pm
Sarah is SO one of my favorites always a must have when a new book comes out. I must have it!! I love her stories =)
January 15th, 2013 at 3: 16 pm
It sounds great – would be my first Sarah Pinsborough novel too. Thanks for the giveaway.
January 15th, 2013 at 4: 33 pm
Would love a copy of Poison.
January 15th, 2013 at 8: 30 pm

My daughters will fight over read-it-first rights…

I likes books
January 15th, 2013 at 8: 40 pm

January 15th, 2013 at 10: 59 pm
An excellent gift – I’ll take Sarah to bed with me one way or another
January 16th, 2013 at 12: 10 am
Having recently read the Dog Faced Gods I am looking forward to reading this fresh trilogy!
January 16th, 2013 at 10: 20 am
Having recently read and enjoyed Sarah’s “A Matter of Blood”, I’d love to read her new book. Cheers!
January 16th, 2013 at 10: 37 am

January 16th, 2013 at 7: 28 pm

January 16th, 2013 at 8: 30 pm
I’ll throw my hat in the ring! Been hearing about this book for a while now; very anxious to read it.
January 16th, 2013 at 9: 56 pm
Wow…sarah pinborough must be really popular. Everyone wants a copy. Has it been advertised on her blog that you’re giving this away?
January 17th, 2013 at 12: 13 am
I need it really badly – Pinborough’s Poison is my antidote!
January 17th, 2013 at 9: 06 am
how you described this book really intrigued me. I’ve never thought of a children’s story being redone like how you described.
January 18th, 2013 at 2: 50 am
Sarah Pinborough is one of the most spontaneous people on twitter. You never know what she’s going to say!
January 18th, 2013 at 1: 32 pm
Would love to read this – Big fan of Sarah’s and nice to see that she was single handedly responsible for the return of the Horror section (as opposed to Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance section) back to my local bookshop ..
January 18th, 2013 at 1: 40 pm
I live all the way down in Australia but I would appreciate a good book. Enjoyed the Dog Faced Gods Trilogy so I’m sure the Pinborough take on Snow White could be epically entertaining. If anyone can make a Fairy Take fun, I think it would have to be Sarah P.
January 18th, 2013 at 1: 46 pm
When this Book will not published in Germany, i Must Win it here..;-)
January 18th, 2013 at 1: 47 pm
OH GOD YES PLEASE! I love Snow White & the thought that Pinborough got her filthy little hands on this story…I can’t wait to read it!
January 18th, 2013 at 1: 49 pm
Love Sarah Pinborough, would love to get myself a copy of this book, especially if its free
January 18th, 2013 at 1: 50 pm
ME ME ME PLEASE, because my cat Mister was in love with Mr Fing………
January 18th, 2013 at 1: 57 pm
I’m cheating and commenting again. Ain’t I clever?
January 18th, 2013 at 2: 06 pm
I would love another book of Sarah’s as an ex work colleague I love her quirky exciting way of bringing to life stories.
January 18th, 2013 at 2: 15 pm
I follow Sarah on Twitter but haven’t read any of her books yet. I already love the woman; it would be wonderful to win the book and fall in love with her work.
January 18th, 2013 at 2: 16 pm
I look forward to reading it!
January 18th, 2013 at 2: 16 pm
I would love a look at this.
January 18th, 2013 at 2: 28 pm
Knowing Sarah this will be a damn good read.
January 18th, 2013 at 2: 50 pm
I love how Sarah’s mind works so I know that this is going to be brilliant!
January 18th, 2013 at 5: 33 pm
Hi, I’ll end up with it one way or another.
January 21st, 2013 at 9: 32 am
Thank you for the interest – editor and author both feeling pleased, I suspect, congratulation to Michelle for being the lucky winner and a wagged finger to those who thought that commenting twice doubles their chances…
Next up is a copy of The Black Mausoleum
