So the kind reps of Focus Features contacted me about sponsoring this here giveaway in support of the upcoming release of the new Anna Karenina movie (by sponsoring I mean they're providing the prizes, not that they've paid me or anything). I said HECK TO THE YES because AK is easily one of my top five favorite novels and I want to get copies into people's hands, whether they have Keira Knightley's face on the cover or no.

So! Two winners will get a movie tie-in edition of Anna Karenina (Lousie and Alymer Maude translation), along with the movie's soundtrack and a Votivo candle and bookmark.
To Enter- Just leave your name and e-mail address in the comments below between now and November 26. I will draw two random winners on November 27th. I'll e-mail the winners and get your shipping address, which I'll then send to the movie promoters so they can ship your prizes out to you.
I'd also appreciate it if you tweeted/Facebooked/whatevered the shiznit out of this because ALL THE PEOPLE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. And you know what makes people read books a whole lot? WHEN THE BOOKS ARE FREE, AMIRITE (and also when they've seen a pretty movie with pretty people in it, maybe)? There are little buttons below this post for sharing on various social media type things. Anywoot, Godspeed, gentle readers. Or, you know, aggressive readers. Whatever gets your goat.
