GIVEAWAY: The Lost Chalice

Well, I tried as hard as I could to finish The Lost Chalice by Vernon Silver, but I guess I have simply determined that nonfiction books are not for me.

I actually thought this book was very interesting, and I am sure that lovers of art and art history--or just history in general--would really enjoy it. The Lost Chalice is well-written and has some interesting "characters" but I just never could get into the story, despite its many positives.

I would like to give this book to another book-blogger out there who can do it justice, so I am holding a giveaway for my copy.

The rules this time are easy... (1) Simply leave a comment to enter the contest! (2) Become a follower/friend on Google Friend connect for an additional entry (or if you already are a follower, let me know).

This contest is open to residents in the US only, sorry. You have until midnight EST on Saturday, October 17th to enter! Good luck!

Peaceful Reader said...: Okay, I'm with you-nonfiction books are just not for me. I like characters, I like plot. I only read nonfiction if it is required for my career-and then I skim-read!!; October 18, 2009 8:23 PM
