Anyone speak Italian?

Thie contest has now closed. The winners will be announced this afternoon!

I have some foreign editions of various books that I need to give away. I always keep one copy of each, but right now, I have two extra Italian editions of Stray, two extra Australian editions of Stray, and two extra Australian editions each of MSTTake, MSTSave, and MSTKeep.


I'm saving the YAs for giveaways closer to the release of MSTSteal in January, but I'd like to give the copies of Stray away now. So if you're interested, please let me know in the comments which edition you'd like, Italian or Australian. And please, if you want the Italian editions, let me know if you actually speak Italian or intend to give it to someone who does. Or if you're an Italian-language reviewer or intend to give it to an Italian-language reviewer. I'd really like those two to go to someone who can actually read them. ;)

The content of the Australian copies is the same as the US/UK copies, but the format is very different. For comparison, here's the Australian edition next to a US edition. The AU book is trade size (as opposed to mass market) and very, very sturdy, with good-size print. But it won't match the US editions of the books.
So, if you want one, comment here and let me know which one you want. Except for trying to find people who speak Italian, the winners will be chosen at random. I'll draw two winners for each edition and announce them here on Friday!

I'd love to win the Australian edition - I greatly prefer that size over trade PB. The Italian edition is beautiful, wish I spoke Italian!

Thanks!

I would love the AUS edition. I have so enjoyed the books, I love how you ended the story. If it ever happens, I would really like to know how Faythe's revolution turns out for the pride.

 

I don't speak Italian, so I am for the Australian edition of Stray.

10x for the giveaway.

Good luck!

 

I am Italian and would be nice to review the Italian release :)

I would love to win the AUS edition of Stray. I don't speak Italian so it would take me longer to get through that one.

Great giveaway

A friend of mine is taking Italian lessons and I know that it would increase her enthusiasm for the subject if she had the series to read in her new language- she was one of my original converts to the Shifters series! So I'd love to enter for the Italian copies for her.

 

I would love to win the Australian edition

 

Amazing giveaway.
Italian of course. Always on the hunt for something Italian to read when German is killing my spirit everyday. And yes, I speak Italian and every trip and change I have when in Italy I buy books to read. Best way to learn the language and practice it when you don't have someone to speak is reading. XD

 

I would love the Australian one. Would love to share with my mom and she loves the larger print and book size.

Thanks!

I speak Italian!! Okay, so it become a conglomeration of Spanish and Italian as I took the two languages at the same time for far too long. Luckily, my Spanish teacher was from Argentina, so he knew what I was trying to say. : )

 

I speak both Italian and english. I'd love to win!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks for the giveaway Rachel!!

For myself I'd love to win the Australian version, but I have a friend who speaks italian as a second language. She hasn't read the series, so I'm not sure if she would be interested in reading them, but I would be happy to offer it and see if she'll give it a try.

Thanks!

I would love to be entered to win the italian book/s. We are learning still, but already speak other latin based languages so it's pretty easy. As we've already read that series in english I think it would be a good learning tool to be able to have an italian copy to read!

 

I would love to win an Australian edition!

thanks for the giveaway.

 

WOW. That's amazing! Well since I don't speak Italian, although my daughter did visit Italy once, I guess I would sign up for the Australian version!

Unless knowing someone who's been to Italy counts! ;)

I would love to have the Australian edition!! I am just DYING to get my hands on any book signed by you! lol..

 

this year i recently made friends with a forgein exchange student from italy, and everyday she would see me with a book and ask me how i can like reading alot. i asked her if she ever Attempted picking up a good book and reading it. she said no.:) i told her i would let her borrow one of my books so she can TRY and read one.
Stray would be PERFECT for me to give her, plus it would be in her language so she can understand it better. :D would love to try and win one for her.

The majority of the people in my family speak Italian, unfortunately that doesn't include me since I failed epically at Italian lessons as a kid :( Doesn't mean I'm not going to keep trying but I think I'd rather enter for the Australian version since most of the family would rather cook and watch old westerns. Woo Hoo for us Aussies and our large print :)

Thank you

 

i'd love an Italian version... I took 3 years in high school, and I'm taking college courses now. Would be super cool!

 

Hi, My brother is doing Italian at night school. He's always after books and films to help with learning the language. I'm sure this would help him a great deal.

As for me I'd love the AUS one. At least I'd be able to read it.

Can't wait for you future work. Roll on Jan for MStSteal.
