Bloggy Giveaway: Emma

This giveaway is now closed.

I love to read. I love to watch movies. If both of those happen to be Jane Austen stories, all the better. Today and tomorrow I am going to share with you my love of Jane Austen.

Today's giveaway is the book Emma and the movie Emma (the one with Gweneth Paltrow--it's the only one Borders had in stock. It's good.). So you can read the book, then watch the movie. Or vice versa.

Wanna win it? Leave me a comment on this post. That's it! Of course, I'd love it if you wrote something besides "Pick me!" or "I want this!" because I'd rather read about how you love Jane Austen and could spend all day watching her movies back-to-back or reading her books. But any comment counts.

The only thing I ask is that you don't enter more than once because duplicate entries will mean that you don't get any entries. Just so you know and all. And no anonymous comments because, hello? How can I contact you if you're anonymous? Just sayin'.

• This giveaway is open to US residents only because I'm nothing if not a total procrastinator and cheap to boot.
• You don't have to be a blogger to play along. 
• I'll pick a winner on Friday and contact you that same day via e-mail. You have four days to respond. If I don't hear from you by then, I'll have to choose a new winner. Make sure you're checking your spam folder.

Please note: This DVD is a plain ol' DVD. Not Hi-Def. Not Blu-Ray. Just a plain ol' DVD. The book is just a plain ol' paperback book. Perfect to take in the car or to the pool this summer. The nice things about books are that they're so portable.

Oooh what a great prize to win! I've been working on my book collection (my DVD collection will probably be next) and I've been wanting to add some great ones like ALL of Jane Austen's! Oh I hope I win!

[Jessica]

Oh, you are a woman after my own heart. I own many a Jane Austen book and movie, both the BBC and more Americanized versions. However, and this is quite pathetic, I don't have the GP version of Emma. Pathetic, because this is who I named my first born after. Well, me and the rest of the free world. Anyway, just know that this prize would go to a most grateful and fully appreciative fellow Jane Austen devotee.

I am a high school English teacher, and I have never read jane Austen. This is an embarrassing fact, and this summer I planned to read several of her books. I hope I win! Thank you!

[Stephanie J.]

I love Jane Austen! I've not seen the movie "Emma" yet, though I would love to. I'm also a hug Gwyneth Paltrow fan.

Thanks!!

[Sharla]

I am a HUGE Jane Austen fan but haven't been able to justify buying the books for myself yet, although I've checked them out from the library a million times. And I always have to borrow my sister's movie Emma as well. This is one giveaway that I am dying to win! Oh, and if you love Jane Austen you've got to read "Austenland" by Shannon Hale. It is hilarious!

[Trish]

I love Jane Austen! I've read all of her books, except Lady Susan, which I do plan to read, hopefully this year.
Thanks for having this giveaway!

[TaraB]

I love the movie, but have never read the book. Sad, but true.

[Emily]

I love to read but don't always have the time. This is a great giveaway and thank you for including me!

[C Duran]

I love to read and love Jane Austen. However, if I do win, I will probably give this to my Mom. She has been SO excited that PBS has been playing all the Jane Austen movies recently. She has even been planning her evenings around the playing times! She would be tickled pink to receive these!

[Elizabeth]

I would love to win these, thanks for the chance!

[Worlds Greatest Mommy]

I'm obsessed with Jane Austen, but I've never seen Emma. My husband has put a limit on how many times I watch the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice because I accidentally called him Mr. Darcy once. I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's really a compliment.

please enter me for the drawing!

[Jean]

I haven't read Emma and it's been so long since I've read a Jane Austen that I think it's high time I get started. So if you could just go ahead and send it my way...that would grreaatt.

[Liz]

I love this book and movie! And the unfortunate thing about moving far away from my Mom is that I can't borrow her copies whenever I want...so count me in!

[Christine @ Serenity How?]

This was one of my favorites, and my husband even liked it (he will deny it if asked, probably even if tortured LOL!)

I'd love to win this.

Thanks! :)

[Queen Mother]

It has been year since I read the book and I've not seen the movie. I would love to do both. Thanks for the giveaway.

Jane Austen is my FAVE and I love Emma. Pick me, pick me! Thanks!!!

[Bonnie Walker]

I have just started getting into Jane Austen and haven't read Emma yet, but would love to! The movie looks good too!

[Mo]

I watched Emma on tv once and it was the sweetest movie. I haven't read any of Jane Austen's books, so I'd be really interested in doing so. I'd love to win! Thank you for the chance =)

[CMerie]

I love this movie, and would love to read the book.

[Doris]

I love this story! And I love Jane A.! My favorite movie is the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle--priceless!!!!!!

My niece (and godchild) is getting to the age where she can start reading these books and I am so looking forward to sharing my love of Jane with her!
