Back to the Books sounds like fun... but really, getting back into the rhythm of school is WORK!! Our family starts next week. I've got all the supplies and new clothes and I'm getting all four of 'em packed and ready for their first day back to school.
*sigh*
Summer is fun. I love the sunshine and the long days. Maybe we goof around too much, sure. I'll admit it. We need school to get rollin' again. But...
*sigh*
Fortunately for me, there's an awesome car show the second weekend in September. So we tolerate a few studious days and then we kick it at the beach with a bunch of hot rods. THEN we buckle down to the books. That little bit of extra FLING! feels very... adventurous.
I'd like to share some of that... FLING! for this giveaway. Epic Fail is all about the wonderful story of Pride & Prejudice in a modern high school setting. It's hilariously fun! I know... 'cause I'm offering MY book to be won. Yes, that means this is a used book by mua reading in the sunlit football practice fields.
I'll post my review while this giveaway's running. Believe me... if you like Pride & Prejudice, you'll like this book. If you haven't read Pride & Prejudice... you NEED this book!! If you don't like Pride & Prejudice, I must ask you... why are you reading this?! JK - if you don't like it, though, don't tell me unless you wanna see my Momma-Bear side. (You don't.)
If you're like me, you like to read Pride & Prejudice every year... only with so many wonderful reading choices out there, it's hard to reread anything. This book is PERFECT - it's new, and yet, it's veeerrrry Pride & Prejudice.
Don't worry about the title. Not a prediction of anything related to you and school. Just saying.
Wait, wait, wait... wait... WAIT!!
Did someone just say they don't own Pride & Prejudice?! Please, speak up!!
Everyone with an eReader should have a copy. Or two, like me. (Is someone collecting copies?)
I have these two:

I thought I owned a copy on my kindle, but I can't seem to find it right now.
ReplyDelete(hangs head) ... I do not have a copy :(
ReplyDeleteBUT, ... actually ... this winter I plan to remedy the situation, and embark on a cozy Jane Austen read-a-thon <3
Thank you, Laura, for the sweet giveaway :D
Mary DeBorde M.A.D.
What?! You seriously MUST READ it!!
DeleteOoh, Jane Austen read-a-thon?! Can I come?
I actually have the physical book, and a copy on my Nook... yet I still haven't read it. *ducks flying books* I'm going to be reading Northanger Abbey this year though! Thanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeletejajajaja You think I would throw a book?! Hilarious.
DeleteWe do not throw books around here. Everything else is fair game, though. This box of goldfish crackers is handy. Watch out!!
Just one copy on my kindle
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to say that I don't own any copies =( x
ReplyDeleteI have two..on both English and my native language Serbian :)
ReplyDeleteI have two - one was a school copy I was given, and the second is on my Kindle!
ReplyDeletejust one but I wanna buy another one cause it has a really beautiful cover
ReplyDeleteI have one ebook copy of Pride and Prejudice. :)
ReplyDelete-Riz B.

ReplyDeleteOne kindle copy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the international giveaway!!
Rafflecopter name - Rosemarie D
Two paper copies:)
ReplyDeleteThank you:)
I don't have one! :(
ReplyDelete2 - one ebook and one paperback. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI own 2 hard copies, one ecopy and multiple dvd's including the BBC's version. I didnt know that's what this book was about! I really kind of passed by the book without reading it's synopsis on goodreads because the cover didn't grab my attention. Now, I want it!
ReplyDeleteLol. Sounds like you'd enjoy this one, for sure!!
Delete2 copies! But about 50 different P&P retellings. Love Jane Austen and her works! Great giveaway idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the hop and for the giveaway opportunity.
50?! Oh... you must share the scoop on 'em all!! Sophia Rose, would you do a post comparing 'em?! I had no idea 50 even existed!!!!
DeleteI have one copy of EVERY Jane Austen book (except Lady Susan). Naturally, P&P is my favorite, though Emma and Northanger Abbey are also up there. It's rare to find a P&P adaptation that retains the same wittiness as the original!
ReplyDeleteSeriously!! It's crazy how well Jane Austen wrote. My awe for her is increasing, I tell ya!
DeleteOh my gosh, I don't own any copies. :( I'm going to have to remedy that.
ReplyDeleteNone, I'm sad to say. Just haven't gotten to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the unfortunate few who doesn't own a copy of Pride and Prejudice. But I watched the movie and I liked it.
ReplyDeleteI have one paperbook copy, the movie with Kiera Knightley, the DVDs of the British miniseries with Colin Firth, and I have the DVDs of the British miniseries, Lost in Austen, where a modern-day woman switches places with Elizabeth (very funny and highly recommended!)!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Leanne
Ooh, cool, thx!!
DeleteI love the version with Colin Firth - the quoted the book so closely!!
They're all so fun, though.
Sadly, only one...
ReplyDeleteTwo, a paperback and a Kindle version
ReplyDeleteOne paperback, plus a retelling.
ReplyDeleteTwo, paperback and Kindle :)
ReplyDeleteI own Pride and Prejudice on my Nook Tablet and the most recent movie :) So, I own two copies :)
ReplyDeletezero
ReplyDeleteresha
None. I haven't read it yet, to be honest. Believe me.
ReplyDeleteI own one copy, paperback, I`ve read it till somewhere in the middle and gave up ,because I`ve always had trouble reading classics, even scary ones, like Edgar Allan Poe. I don`t know, it`s strange I guess :D I have about ten classic books in english on my shelf and I`m still buying new, but never really read much.
ReplyDeleteBUT I DID like Epic Fail (read in epub), sweet and funny, and interesting :)
Thanks for this giveaway!
Classics....... written in a different time!!
DeleteOne paperback, the movie with Colin Firth - by far the best, and the other one with Kiera Knightley :)
ReplyDeleteI read Epic Fail in epub and it's pretty funny, I liked it ;)
two e-copies one on i-Tunes and one on Kindle... i love the book very much
ReplyDeleteErmmmm three. The B&N version, the Penguin classics version (with the gorgeous modern cover!!!!), and the free Sony eReader version on my phone... tehe :)
ReplyDeleteI own 2 - one paperback and an e-book on my Kobo. Of course it could be 3 - I also own Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - does that count?
ReplyDeleteLol - sure!
DeleteI'm pretty sure I have 1 on my Kindle app.
ReplyDeleteOnly one :/

Just one paperback copy, but I have a bajillion different retellings!
ReplyDeleteNone.
ReplyDeleteI have a copy for my kindle, paperback, paperback of the zombie edition. Then for my viewing pleasure I have the bbc mini series and the more recent movie. I figure you can't have too many versions. Epic fail has been added to my growing list of books to pick up on amazon. Can I get a few more hours added to every day?
ReplyDeleteI have a printed copy, one on my e-reader, and two on my computer in Russian and English.
ReplyDeleteI dont have any! And I have never read it :( how sad is that?
ReplyDelete2! one pb and one ebook!
ReplyDeleteI honestly dont own a single one... Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteOh my..I didn't own any..
ReplyDeleteI only own one copy. And to be honest even though I'm in my 30's, I only picked it up for the first time last year!!
ReplyDeleteI do not own one but have read the book and also did a college paper on it.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the give-away.
I love this book, but don't own the copy of it:(
ReplyDeleteabout five...I love that book (The sad thing is that I have about twice as many copies of Persuation)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI own 1 copy which I haven't read yet(I know -- 100 lashes with a wet noodle). I have started the movie starring Keira Knightly a few times but, for whatever reason, am never able to finish it. I also saw Bride & Prejudice starring Aishwarya Rai and Naveen Andrews. I really enjoyed that movie and soundtrack.
I think I have several other books by Austen buried in boxes and recently won Sense & Sensibility.
Btw, I don't re-read books either. There are just too many good books out there.
I own an original, a modern version for teens, mr darcy, vampyre (retelling of mr darcy) and prom and prejudice
ReplyDeleteNone :( sbcashortie at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteNone..
ReplyDeleteThere are at least 3 print copies in my home right now as well as an ebook format on my Kindle! I LOVE Pride and Prejudice and I DO read it at least once a year :)
ReplyDeleteI have just one copy! But this is such a great book that I'm always willing to get another one!
ReplyDeleteJust the one, which I remember my mum gave to me because she'd gotten it for free somehow...
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any! omg what a shame. I think classic reads is too heavy for my brain. I might read it one day
