As some of you may know, the official Forgotten Bookmarks scanner is dying.

I can't really post anything new until I get myself a replacement, so let's have a giveaway instead.

Instead of the usual classic titles, I decided to offer up three choices:

10 Romance paperbacks:


10 SciFi/Fantasy paperbacks:


10 Mystery/Thriller paperbacks:


I'll be picking a different winner for each of the three lots, so if you're interested, let me know which collection of books you'd like in the comments. I'll announce a winner on Tuesday, Jan. 25th at 12:00 PM EST. (tomorrow)

Good luck -

Ooooo, I would love the SF books.

Wonderful! Sci-fi is grand. That would be my choice.

What's the plan to do scnaning moving forward?

Fun! I'll throw my name in the hat for the set of SciFi/Fantasy books...

Hahahaha - I will throw my name in for the Romance books. I have never read a romance novel in my life after years of hearing my Mom quip, "Those are trashy books for small minded people" - haha. But, why not give them a chance, eh? Haha.

I don't want to be entered, because I have several of them, but I wanted to say that there are some VERY good novels in that sf batch.

I'll gladly throw my hat in the ring for the romance books. Gotta love a little brain candy now and again.

I don't *need* more books, but I like the look of the sci-fi collection. I haven't met a UKL book I didn't enjoy.

Re scanner-dying, would you like a gently used USB2 flatbed? When my husband and I combined households a few years ago, we retired one of our scanners since we had the same make/model. I'll have to look around to find the power cord but it's light enough that shipping shouldn't be too bad. It's a Microtek ScanMaker 5900, nothing special but it handles smaller transparent media and it's in good working order.

What a great idea! Next time I would love to see a Horror bunch.

I'd like the scifi/fantasy books. Thanks!

I'd like the Scifi books, but would take the Romance books too.... Sometimes you gotta go with the popcorn reading.

 
On January 25, 2010 3:53 PM , oiploi said...

What a delightful giveaway! Please add me to the Sci-Fi hopefuls.

 
On January 25, 2010 5:05 PM , Johnice said...

Science fiction please! I always thought I never liked SF, but a co-worker had me watch all of the original Star Trek episodes and now I'm really into SF books. Star Trek is a gateway drug.

 
On January 25, 2010 5:30 PM , ZlatkoGR said...

SciFi/Fantasy for me too! Great giveaway

 
On January 25, 2010 5:38 PM , Michelle said...

I would love the romance novels.... ;)

 
On January 25, 2010 5:43 PM , Logan Thomas said...

Sci-Fi would be wonderful, I'm afraid my shelves are lacking in sci-fi...

Thank you.

I would love to have the mystery books!!

Oh, Romance, hands down!

And your site came up today on the WordWenches, btw, in a post by Anne Gracie.

:)

SF, please.

sci-fi/fantasy please?!

 
On January 25, 2010 6:45 PM , Andrew said...

sci-fi/fantasy would be lovely! Also, are you looking to fund your new scanner through the site? I'd happily chip in a few bucks to keep the bookmarks coming.

 
On January 25, 2010 6:52 PM , unmoderated said...

Very generous of you Andrew, but I have a lead on a proper book scanner that the local university doesn't need anymore.

The books pictures should be even better than they are now.

 
On January 25, 2010 7:17 PM , Amanda said...

I'd love to win the sci-fi books. There's a few in there that I've been meaning to read and the others look interesting, too.

 
On January 25, 2010 7:30 PM , Tricia said...

SciFi/Fantasy, please!

(our old scanner is still going strong, but the computer it has been attached to is dying. We need to figure out if the old drivers will work on a computer with a newer OS...)

 
On January 25, 2010 7:53 PM , unmoderated said...

Tricia, the scanner dying may be a blessing in disguise; it won't work with my regular computer running Vista, so I use a little Dell netbook to scan and save the .tifs on a network drive. A new scanner should make life a bit easier.

 
On January 25, 2010 9:36 PM , CaRiiToO said...

OMG! I'd love to have the SciFi/Fantasy or the Romance lot... whichever of them would be great! Please!
Thank you!

 
On January 25, 2010 9:44 PM , Marie Burton said...

Good luck on the lead for the new scanner!! Meanwhile ..sign me up for the Romance books please! Thanks!

 
On January 25, 2010 9:44 PM , dannywilht said...

I would LOVE the mystery lot!

Good luck on the new scanner! Hope to see things keep going strong here :)

*Waves hand in the air* I would love to be enter in for the sci-fi bundle, thanks!

 
On January 26, 2010 2:12 AM , Vanessa Solis said...

SciFi/Fantasy for me!

I've been meaning to get around to reading these guys for a while but the local library's selection is severely wanting. Good luck with the scanner!

sci fi all the way!

 
On January 26, 2010 4:57 AM , fleetwoodkit said...

How to make a choice? I like both the mystery and the romance selections and I always pass them along to someone else.

I look forward to seeing what you have "found" daily. Thanks!

What a generous giveaway! I'd like the thriller/mystery books!

Although, there are a few in the Sci-Fi that look amazing :)

Thank you for the chance to win!

Congratulations on your new scanner!

What a great giveaway! You can never have too many SF books on your shelves!

 
On January 26, 2010 9:37 AM , Auntie Nettie said...

Love the site. Hope you get a scanner soon.

Would love either the romance or sci-fi to help me escape from my own reality.
