Back in podcast #26, I went on and on about how much I loved The Book Thief. Since then, many of you have picked up the book and loved it too.
Today, the publisher ran a full-page ad in the New York Times announcing one million copies sold. There aren’t that many books that make it to 1 million!
The ad asks, “Have you read it?” If you haven’t, you may be in luck! Random House has supplied us with five copies of The Book Thief to giveaway to Books on the Nightstand readers. There are two ways you can enter to win:
- Leave a comment on this blog post
- If you’re on Twitter, tweet the following, or something similar (just make sure the URL is in there): “Books on the Nightstand is giving away 5 copies of THE BOOK THIEF. Tweet this to enter! http://is.gd/xADo“
You can enter either way (or both!). We’ll announce the winners on Friday, May 22.
please note: at this time, we can only ship to the US and Canada. Apologies to all of our overseas fans!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for the whole first year, I just realized! Congrats on your anniversary (and I’m pumped to be entered in the contest
)!
i just re-tweeted you about the contest and am leaving a post also. i have read this book but it was pretty amazing and i would love to own a copy. thanks for al the hard work you guys do in putting out the podcast and blog!
Hey guys! Been a fan for a long time. Would love to win!! I tweeted as well.
I retweeted (except on Facebook) and I’m leaving a post. I’ve tried to read this book several times, but always need to return it to the library before I finish it. . .the waiting list @ the library is still super long. So, a copy of my own would allow me to finish it.
I’ve been hearing great things about this book and would love to be entered to win. Thanks!
Hope I win especially since may 22 is my bday! lol… I tweeted this as well
Thanks!
I’ve heard really good things about this book…would love to have my own copy to read since the library copies are all spoken for ALL THE TIME!
I just retweeted the message.
I loved The Book Thief, but I don’t have my own copy. I bought it for my niece and read hers. Also tweeting
I loved The Book Thief, have loaned my copy out and wouldn’t mind a new one. Our book club is discussing in September and I can pass it around.
Yay! I’ve been hoping to get this book soon. That’s awesome that so many have sold. Thanks for the great posts.
I first heard about this book from Books on the Nightstand. I have been dying to read it, I just haven’t gotten the time.
This book is on my wish list so I would love to win it!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I just retweeted the message. Thanks for the competition.
I read this book (and liked it); but if I win, I’m going to donate it to my daughter’s school library, which is in jeopardy. Heck, if I win, I’ll match it and donate two copies of the book!
I’ve seen many reviews for this, but I really liked listening to your thoughts on it in the podcast. Please enter me!
I’d love to win this book. I read a copy from the library and would love to have my own to share with family and friends, and also read again. Thanks!
Following your recommendation I listened to The Book Thief audiobook while training for marathon; I must have been quite a sight to behold: a tall, wrinkly guy running like crazy and crying… (I could only hope passers-by mistook the tears for sweat)
I’ve been wanting to read this for a while.
Clever. By entering the contest, entrants give the contest free publicity.
I Tweeted!
And I’m commenting.
I want to win that book man!
Thanks for the contest!
Don’t enter me! I just wanted to say that I have read the book, loved it, and I am so glad you’re giving copies away. THE BOOK THIEF is a book worth sharing. I keep mine on the “good shelves” and recommend it to absolutely everyone.
I love the podcast. Enjoy diving into your recommendations. Would love to dive into The Book Thief. Enter me into the contest
I’ve always respected your taste in books, so please enter me in the giveaway too. Must be fate…just today Kathleen & I were talking about The Book Thief; she’s read it & loved it, and now this contest. I have to read it soon!
Admittedly, I feel pretty bad that I still haven’t read this one! I’ve seen it a million times though and would love to be considered in the contest.
I also tweeted your giveaway! Thanks.
I have been wanting to read this book forever.
Just tweeted for you.
