The Woolf-Forster-Mann Giveaway

Posted by on
Hello, everyone, and welcome to our first ever giveaway. As you know, this month is LGBT History Month in the USA and we're participating in Adam's LGBT Reading Event: The Literary Others. In honor of this event and since we mainly read and review the classics here at Lit. Hitchhiker, we've decided to give away three classic titles that have an LGBT theme/component. These titles are Virginia Woolf's Orlando, E.M. Forster's Maurice and Thomas Mann's Death in Venice (in a volume that also includes other stories). We'll be giving away one copy of each, preferably in the editions featured below.

Thomas Mann, Death in Venice
Virginia Woolf, Orlando
E.M Forster, Maurice

So what do you have to do in order to enter this giveaway? First of all, you have to be a registered participant in Adam's event (i.e. you must have left a comment on this post). Secondly, you need to live in a country that Book Depository ships to. And then you just have to leave a comment on this post, saying which of the books above you'd like to win and where we can contact you if you do win (in case this information isn't easily available on your profile). We'd love it if you also suggested an LGBT title we might enjoy, but that's not mandatory.

You can also win additional entries by a. following us on twitter or b. spreading the word about this giveaway on twitter or elsewhere. If you choose b, please let us know either by tagging us on twitter or by commenting here, so that we don't miss your extra entry.

This giveaway will end on October 20. The winners will have 48 hours to respond to our e-mails or we'll pick someone else.

That's about it, rules-wise. We're very excited to be sharing these books with you, as we know and love two of them - Orlando and Death in Venice (expect some reviews this week) - and have heard good things about the third. We hope you'll love them as well. Good luck!


This post is part of The Literary Others: An LGBT Reading Event hosted by Adam of Roof Beam Reader. If you're interested in signing up, you can do it here. If you want to check out what other people are doing for this event go here. If you want to see what else we read or will read for this event, keep an eye on our Literary Others tag.

    Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! I'd like to be entered to win Woolf's Orlando.

    I'm sure you've read it, but I love Eugenides' Middlesex.

      Oh, as it happens, we haven't read Middlesex. It is one of those books that has been on our to-read list for years and years. It would have been wonderful to read this month, but not sure if there's enough time left. Will check it out soon :)

      Adam, thank you for organizing this event! After The Classics Club, this really the awesomest thing we participated in since we started blogging. We loved all the books we discovered so far and still have a bunch to read in the two weeks left.

      PS: Those are some pretty covers, aren't they? We LOVE the cover for Death in Venice

    I'd love a copy of Death in Venice because quite simply I haven't read it and I am want to.
