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.

I recently read Emma as part of a virtual Jane Austen book club I'm involved in, and I love the movies! Knightley is my favorite Austen hero.

[Joy]

I love Jane Austen and Emma is one of my favorites.

[Kelly @ Love Well]

I know I've seen this movie and read this book, but for the life of me, I can't remember the plot.

Which is why I need to win. ;-) Replenish the brain cells the children have stolen from me, Chili! I need your help!

I would love for my daughter to read the book, but honestly? She's much more likely to watch the movie and I'll read the book.

[emily]

ooh la la! this movie is too funny. love it! so kind of you to share jane with us. :)

[Maureen]

I love this book and the movie is cute too. Thanks for offering!

[upstatelisa]

Great movie! would love to have a copy of the DVD and book!

[daisy]

I'm a recent Jane Austen fan, so these would be very cool to win.

Thanks!

Ooooh, this is so fun!!! When we were dating, my now-husband gave me the book Sense and Sensibility which I love, for itseld and for the sentimental reasons. Since then, he has given me the six-hour version Pride and Prejudice DVD and this month for my birthday, I received the DVD of Sense and Sensibility. It would be fun to add to the collection.

I always come away from Jane Austen's writing thoughtful and amused. She had such insight into human nature. I don't know how anyone could resist her books!

[jessica]

I haven't had much experience with Jane Austen, but I'd love to start now! So, pick me! :)

[Jamie]

I haven't read Emma or watched the movie. So see? You NEED to give it to ME. ;-)

Happy Earth Day! Other than Agatha Christie, Jane Austen is high up on my favorite author list. I have not seen any of the Jane Austen
videos. It would be a lot of fun winning your prize package! Please enter my name in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

I would love to win this. I recently watched the movie Becoming Jane and highly recommend it for Jane Austen fans.

[Michele]

Ok, I am gonna admit it... I love to read but I have never read Jane Austin. I know, I am very bad. But on the plus side, my 15 year old daughter absolutely loves these books. That is why I want to be entered in this giveaway. She would love to have this book.

Thanks so much!

I have just started reading Jane Austen's works and I am loving them! I do not have Emma yet and would love to read it :-).. so please pick me hehe!

[Becky]

Please enter me! I'd love the chance to win. By the way, I'm hosting a Jane Austen mini-challenge on my blog to read/watch Austen in 2008. I haven't read or watched Emma, so this could potentially give me the motivation :)

[Carol]

This would be great to win for myself and daughter. thank you.

[Tammy]

I would love to win this, I have never actually read the book or seen the movie, but I'd love to use the book with my daughter next year.

[Lydia]

Hi! I think I've seen every Austen movie EXCEPT the version of Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow. I've read all the books too!

[Mamacita]

I've never seen this movie - enter me, please! Thanks! :)

[Pam]

The book is definitely better than the movie. Oh, how I love Jane Austen!

[holly]

I love Jane Austen. I have only read one book, but I got to watch a few of the pbs movies. I loved them. I would really enjoy winning this prize!! cookiecutter72 AT hotmail DOT com

[Laura Ch.]

I do, I really, really do love Jane Austen. I used to own the A&E pride and prejudice... BEST movie ever. We have the new one now on DVD, but I want to get the old one back. I also love Emma, and have watched a few different Mansfield Park movies. However, I've never read one of her books (I know, I shouldn't admit that to anyone). Would love to win this! Thanks for the chance.

[BlondeBlogger]

Oh my gosh, I am a HUGE Jane Austen fan and I've been wanting this movie and book for forever! Thanks so much for doing this giveaway! :)
