My very first give away!

Guess what! I'm hosting my very first give away on this blog! I'm not celebrating any special, other than just having some extra books lying around the house. 

And the book I'm giving away came out with a super pretty cover that I just had to get. 

I've decided to give away the ARC version of Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore. Harper Collins sent out an ARC to my Barnes & Noble almost a year ago, and I yanked it off the ARC shelf before I left the store. It has this cover. 

It's very simple, minimalism in nature, and chic. Very fun. It's paperback, but an over-sized trade paper back. However, when I recently walked through my local Barnes & Noble I saw this on a table...


How pretty is this!? Very pretty... I had... I had to have it. It has an  Alphonse Mucha/art deco kinda vibe to it. It also speaks more to the story plot points. So I bought it. I have to admit that I do judge books by their covers sometimes... I'm a very aesthetic shopper/reader.

What can I say? I like pretty things. 

So here is where the give away comes in. 

Sacre Bleu is about the troubles that befall artists who purchase a mystical paint that is the most perfect shade of blue... so amazing and perfect that people are willing to sell their souls or kill for it. What perfect, mystical color would you be willing to trade for? Kill for? What would you trade/give up/harm/do whatever it takes to obtain this color?
