Win a copy of One Life: My Mother's Story, by Kate Grenville - Booksellers

Expired

We have two hardback copies of One Life: My Mother's Story, by Kate Grenville to give away this week.
---
Nance was a week short of her sixth birthday when she and Frank were roused out of bed in the dark and lifted into the buggy, squashed in with bedding, the cooking pots rattling around in the back, and her mother shouting back towards the house: Goodbye, Rothsay, I hope I never see you again!
When Kate Grenville’s mother died she left behind many fragments of memoir. These were the starting point for One Life, the story of a woman whose life spanned a century of tumult and change. In many ways Nance’s story echoes that of many mothers and grandmothers, for whom the spectacular shifts of the twentieth century offered a path to new freedoms and choices. In other ways Nance was exceptional. In an era when women were expected to have no ambitions beyond the domestic, she ran successful businesses as a registered pharmacist, laid the bricks for the family home, and discovered her husband’s secret life as a revolutionary.
One Life is an act of great imaginative sympathy, a daughter’s intimate account of the patterns in her mother’s life. It is a deeply moving homage by one of Australia’s finest writers.

Win a copy of Quicksand: What It Means to Be a Human Being - Booksellers

Expired

We have a bit of thinking matter for you this week in the form of crime writer and essayist Henning Mankell's final book Quicksand: What It Means to Be a Human Being.
From the back of the book:
"In January 2014 Henning Mankell was informed he had cancer. However, Quicksand is not a book about death and destruction, but about what it means to be human. He writes about love and jealousy, about courage and fear. And about what it is like to live with a potentially fatal illness."
To be in to win via email, send it through to info@booksellers.co.nz with the subject line 'Quicksand', telling us about something that made you stop and think recently, and including your physical address. Competition closes at 12 noon on Thursday, 31 March. The winner of the Lonely Planet giveaway was Annette Hynes.

Win a copy of "My Sister Rosa" - Booksellers

Expired

We have the new book from YA author Justine Larbalastier up for grabs this week. Called My Sister Rosa, it has already recieved great acclaim from reviewers.
"What if the most terrifying person you'd ever met was your ten-year old sister? A spine-chilling psychological thriller from one of Australia's finest YA authors.
'I promise,' said Rosa. 'I won't kill and I won't make anyone else kill.'
I can't see the loophole. Since the guinea pig there's been nothing. Months now without Rosa killing as much as a mosquito. As far as I know.
Che Taylor has four items on his list: 1. He wants to spar, not just train in the boxing gym. 2. He wants a girlfriend. 3. He wants to go home. 4. He wants to keep Rosa under control.
Che's little sister Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and so good at deception that Che's convinced she must be a psychopath. She hasn't hurt anyone yet, but he's certain it's just a matter of time. And when their parents move them to New York City, Che longs to return to Sydney and his three best friends. But his first duty is to his sister Rosa, who is playing increasingly complex and disturbing games. Can he protect Rosa from the world - and the world from Rosa?"
To be in to win via email, send it through to info@booksellers.co.nz with the subject line 'Rosa', telling us who the most terrifying member of your family is and why, and including your physical address. Competition closes at 12 noon on Thursday, 7 April. The winner of the two copies of Quicksand, by Henning Mankell, were Michelle Dyer and Anna Tims.

Win a copy of Season of Salt & Honey and East of Eden - Booksellers

Expired

We have two books up for grabs this week - Season of Salt & Honey, by Hannah Tunnicliffe (Macmillan), and East of Eden, by Izabela Shopova (Inkwater Press).
Season of Salt & Honey: Frankie is a runaway bride. Or rather, she is running away from her fianc?’s funeral, the unthinkable event that has thrown her entire life into crisis. Frankie and Alex were high school sweethearts and each other’s first loves. They should have been together forever. But Alex died in a surfing accident, and now Frankie is walking away from her family, driving north and east, letting her body do the thinking, all the way into the Cascade Mountain range.
East of Eden: Travel writer Izabela Shopova never perceived her life in New Zealand as exile and emigration as martyrdom, as it is the custom (and pretty much a patriotic obligation) in her native Bulgarian cultural and literary tradition. Her life in Aotearoa was a challenge and a lifetime adventure, a love affair and a comedy (with just a bit of drama) in a land regarded by the rest of the world as the Last Eden on Earth. East in Eden tells the luminous, heartfelt, and hilarious story of Shopova’s six years in New Zealand, chronicling all the hardship and joy, suffering and fun, mundane and the extraordinary, that she experienced in a country she reluctantly but helplessly fell in love with.
To be in to win via email, send it through to info@booksellers.co.nz with the subject line "Seasons", telling us your favourite thing about autumn, and including your physical address. Competition closes at 12 noon on Thursday, 28 April. The winner of 10 Plucky Penguins and Ultimate Travelist Colouring Book is
