A Surfeit of Spying Spellmans Giveaway! THIS GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED!
Hmmm... a new month, I wonder what I'll be giving away... oh, I kid! I've been hoarding away books for March (I don't jest, there's a pile!)You see, there's these books by Lisa Lutz, the Spellmans star, and I just can't get enough of them. The forth and NOT final (ignore the blurb, listen to the author) is being released this month and I've been dying to foist these lovely dysfunctional spies on you, my loyal readers... but I wanted to make it beyond special. So the prize... no wait, I mean prizes. Yes, that is a highlighted, italicized, emboldened "s," because I have not one, not two, but four prizes*! One for each book... in fact, one is each book... but they are so much more! They are all signed first editions. That's right! Signed Spellman books, what could be better? Really, for me personally, nothing could be better. In fact, I think after writing this post I might just dive right back into the family who spies together. Of course you might want more information before entering, so over the next two weeks I'll be posting my reviews for all four of the books leading up to the March 16th release of The Spellman's Strike Again. Plus Lisa will be touring to promote this book, so keep an eye out for her, I'll be there in Milwaukee covering her March 25th event... who knows, perhaps I'll see you there? Now onto the prizes!
*Now doubled thanks to my bffs at Simon & Schuster!

I already am a follower. :) And I'm a huge fan of Columbo, although he's technically a TV show...I do have the entire Sherlock Holmes collection, and I'm a huge fan of Miss Marple/Hercule Poirot of the Agatha Christie mysteries. Good stuff - on TV too. :)

+1 I've never read a lot of detective, mysteryish books, but I think Flavia de Luce would have to hold that title for me, just for sheer quirkiness. I love me some quirky. :)
+5 old follower, of course!

Pick me! Pick me! I've only read one Spellman book (yesterday, and almost all night the night before) but intend to try and get my hands on another soon.
Favorite literary detective...hmm...Holmes is legit, but I've got to fess up and say Nancy Drew still wins. Who else drives a roadster and has solved mysteries for over sixty years while remaining eternally a teen?

I really enjoy Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie's books, but prefer Miss Marple in the movie/TV versions. (+1)
And of course, I've already been a follower (+5)
Thanks - this is such a fun giveaway! I hope you hit 200!

Hi Elizabeth!
"Answer me this: Who is your favorite literary detective? Holmes? A Hammett creation? Are you a golden age gal or a noir lad?"
Honestly? My favorite literary detective is Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently. He of the rotund figure and consistent (ugly) hat. I love him because he never eliminates the impossible. Ever. ;-)
