Day 7: The Tuner of Silences

Today's February Freebie, we're proud to announce, is by the internationally bestselling Mia Couto of Mozambique. Don't know Mia Couto? Check out this essay on "Africanness" by him in The Guardian, this review of Sleepwalking Land in The New York Times, or the page about The Tuner of Silences on Biblioasis's International Translation Series website. And for those of you new to February Freebies, the explanation is below. A book a day for the whole month of February!

FEBRUARY FREEBIES AT BIBLIOASIS
Back in the good old days (er, okay, back in Victorian England), you might call an excellent book your fireside university. A book was all you needed to toast the soul on an otherwise cold, damp, drizzly, snow-plagued, slush-infested, toe-benumbing February evening. So in that spirit, we say: listen up! Warm your brain-pans! For the month of February, Monday through Fridays, Biblioasis will be offering a special Facebook-only contest.

Here’s how it works: 

1. Like our Facebook page.
2. Keep an eye out for our status updates. Once a day, Biblioasis will post an announcement for that day’s February Freebie.
3. Like that status, and share it on your own feed. That’s all it takes to enter.
4. Each day we’ll select one name from all our entrants and mail them that day’s book, free of charge.

The freebie book will change daily, so if there's one title in particular you're itching for, make sure to check in regularly. Winners will be contacted via Facebook for their mailing addresses, and participants may enter as often as they like. Good luck and stay warm!

February Freebies, Day 5

An update from across the street at Facebook: we're having great success getting people to take our free books. Surprise surprise. Ain't that a thing? So far we've given away David, Love Poems, Moody Food, and Malarky. And today? (Er, and Saturday and Sunday?) ... here's what you'll see if you visit our page. Like the page. Love it. You want more of it. Make it hurt, book people, make it hurt!


Attack of the Free Book Facebook Messages! No, wait. It's Attack of the ... Conjunction Arachnids? That's right, Day 5 of February Freebies is bringing you the Wonderful, Marvellous, Glorious Douglas Glover, whose Attack of the Copula Spiders was a Globe & Mail Best Book for 2012, and who was called "a master of narrative structure" by none other than the Wall Street Journal.

You know the drill: visit the Biblioasis FB page, like AND share this status update, and be entered to win a copy of Copula Spiders today. We’re giving away a title a day for the whole month of February. Like, enter, share win! For details visit the Thirsty blog.

(Okay, so we're not giving away books on the weekends. This is it till Monday. So start clicking, people! This is the book to share on Facebook if ever there was. Post this on the wall of anyone whose egregious online grammar drives you nuts.)

It's freezing. It's February. And everybody's broke. So ...

... it's time for February Freebies!!
