Literary Giveaway Blog Hop — Cleopatra

This is the third Literary Giveaway Blog Hop hosted by Judith at Leeswammes’ Blog; the second that I have participated in. I really enjoyed it last round, both the comments I got on my blog and hopping about on all the other blogs. See her blog for the full list of participants — there are dozens of giveaways!

A gently read paperback copy of Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff is my giveaway. I wrote some thoughts inspired by the book here: Musings on Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff. Leave a comment, before midnight Missouri time (CDT) October 19 to be entered — I’ll ship it anywhere. Check Leeswammes’ Blog for many other bloggers featuring giveaways.

Edited to Add: Contest closed. Results in a day or two!

Martha @ Hey, I want to read that on October 14, 2011 at 4:38 pm said:

Hurray, I’m back in time to find out what you think of this book. I have a copy in both e-book and paperback and I haven’t finished either. I just can’t get into it. I’ve missed your reviews and can’t wait to see what you think of this book.

Thanks for the giveaway and for opening it to worldwide entries.

Much appreciated.

Yes I agree, very few of us can hear Cleopatra without thinking Liz Taylor.
But she was just such a larger than life character that lasted so long she became a legend. Like John Wayne I think her memory will live on for a long time and I miss those larger than life actors and actresses. Wonder which of the current crop of thespians will leave such a story !

By the way I think Michelle Moran has done the Cleopatra story quite well.

I would love to read this book. I have been fascainated by Cleopatria since I was ten years old reading about her in My BookHouse Books! There was a wonderful picture of her rolling out of a rug. Will never forget that.
