Xmas Giveaway, Day 2: Item 4

-

Item 4 in the Christmas Giveaway is another book: Wuthering Hearts by Kay Woodward, which I gave a 4.5 out of 5 in July 2011, when it was released. It's sort of a modern take on Wuthering Heights for young adults (girls ~11-15 or so), and yup, this is my review copy. :)

See what you make of it! I'd love it if you post a review of it somewhere to help Kay spread the word. :)

Passion, the Yorkshire moors, a wild and handsome stranger ... sound familiar?

When Robert arrives in town with his dark good looks and mysterious background, Emily has a huge crush! It's almost enough to take her mind off this year's school play ... miserable, wailing Wuthering Heights.

But Robert is no prince, with his black moods and stormy temper. The beautiful untamed moors would be the perfect backdrop to their fiery romance, if only Emily could work it out.

On stage or off stage, will emily ever be the Cathy to his Heathcliff?

Giveaway closes at some point during 27 December 2011. Winner will be chosen at random and contacted and with a bit of luck, has responded with some form of contact details so I can send it when the post office opens again on the 28th.

Remember, I need to be able to contact you and get your postal address if you win, so if you're not on Facebook, Etsy, Twitter or any other way of getting in touch, it will be hard to let you know you've won, and so on, so in order to be in with a chance of winning, add some kind of contact details and answer the following qualifying question: What piece of advice would you like to give Cathy and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights?

This giveaway is open worldwide.

Good luck! Santa's bag re-opens again tomorrow. :)

    Sounds fun! Advice? "Less drama, please!" I don't know exactly how they'd manage it, but there you go. Oh, and Heathcliff: smile occasionally. Might do you good.

    Good ones! I'd probably go with "Here's the number to a good therapist. Y'all could do with some anger management counselling."

    My advice would be just to go and run away together, instead of ruining other people's lives like that, and their own too, in the end. But then again, if they had eloped, what kind of a book would that be? Not my favourite, that's for sure!

    It would make for an interesting spin-off or sequel, though. Wuthering Heights as it would be if they HAD eloped. How would that have turned out? :)

    This blog wouldn't be safe for work if I shared my advice.

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

The Quest to read everything Jane Eyre

...before they go as mad as the secret wife in the attic? I aim to find out! :) This is where it all began. Okay, I don't mean I aim to read Jane Eyre prequels, sequels, spin-offs and inspired bys/based ons until I actually go insane, more like, how many can I manage to read before I get thoroughly fed up with the whole thing. Here's the cunning plan ... (updated 13 December 2012)

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why
