New Giveaway, Purge by Sofi Oksanen

First off, congratulations to Cal who won the Wicked Bugs giveaway that ended yesterday.  He/she will be notified and have 48 hours to respond.

The next giveaway is for a new paperback copy of Purge by Sofi Oksanen.  It's a work of translation from the author's native Estonian.  It's a fierce book, not for the weak of heart.  My review is here:
http://www.theblacksheepdances.com/2010/06/purge-literary-fiction-by-sofi-oksanen.html. Note, the front cover may vary...there are several covers out.  This is not a book about eating disorders or bulimia!  It's about Estonia and Siberia in World War II.

To enter, leave a comment to this post with your name and email address.  On June 2, 2011 I will have the random.org pick a winner and notify them.  You must be a blog follower to enter.  US and CAN only please (an international giveaway is coming soon!).

    Thanks for the giveaway! I've just finished taking an AP European history class, and I wish we had learned more about Eastern Europe, so I'm trying to find as many historical fiction books about that area (preferably during Soviet times) as possible.

    Thank you so much for the giveaway! It's funny that you had to specify that the book was not about an eating disorder, because I'm sure most people would take the title literally. I really appreciated your review, and would love to read this book, so thank you for the opportunity! :D

    I've read this and it's so good. I actually gave it to a friend and missed it so much, I had to buy a new one. Good luck everybody.
