#HorrorForLibraries Giveaway #77: The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas

After a 2 week hiatus, the giveaway is back. Today I have a copy of a book I just reviewed for Library Journal, featuring an author I interviewed as part of Penguin Random House's free Spring Festival of BooksDetails below, but first, how to enter: 

  1. You need to be affiliated with an American public library. My rationale behind that is that I will be encouraging you to read these books and share them with patrons. While many of them are advanced reader copies that you cannot add to your collections, if you get the chance to read them, my hope is that you will consider ordering a copy for your library and give away the ARC away as a prize or pass it on to a fellow staff member.
  2. If you are interested in being included in any giveaway at any time, you must email me at zombiegrl75 [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject line "#HorrorForLibraries." In the body of the email all you have to say is that you want to be entered and the name of your library.
  3. Each entry will be considered for EVERY giveaway. Meaning you enter once, and you are entered until you win. I will randomly draw a winner on Fridays sometime after 5pm central. But only entries received by 5pm each week will be considered for that week. I use Random.org and have a member of my family witness the "draw"based off your number in the Google Sheet.
  4. If you win, you are ineligible to win again for 4 weeks; you will have to re-enter after that time to be considered [I have a list of who has won, when, and what title]. However, if you do not win, you carry over into the next week. There is NO NEED to reenter.

I read The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas for Library Journal's April Issue. And today, I am a part of a Free Virtual Event sponsored by PRH and LJ promoting the publishers Spring Titles. You can still register to watch the recordings here, but these are the details on my panel [which was pre-recored anyway]:

The Horror!

With supernatural torments and ghostly encounters, these terrifying page-turners are not for the faint of heart.

Watch all of us chat. It was fun. Again, you can get access to the recording here.

You can read my draft review with bonus appeal comments of The Hacienda at this link, but to get you intrigued, here are my three words that describe this book: claustrophobic, immersive sense of place, pure terror.

You will want to order this debut Horror novel for your patrons, but in the meantime, why not enter for your chances to win an ARC.

Good luck!
