November's BintoM Monthly Giveaway (#10)


Have you ever read a book and then wanted to watch the movie made from it? Or, maybe you've seen a movie and then found out there was a book it was based on.  Well, that was the basis of this monthly meme that I started. 

Welcome to Literary R&R's BintoM (Books-into-Movies) Monthly Giveaway! 

Here are the particulars for this giveaway:
  • Towards the end of the month, I will post the next month's giveaway. 
  • I will leave it open for 2 to 3 weeks.  At that time, a winner (or winners, if I'm feeling generous) will be chosen and notified. 
  • I will expect the winner to acknowledge the winning email within 48 hours or another winner will be chosen in their place. 
  • This is now open internationally
  • You do not need to be a GFC follower to win.  Yes, I would like it if you followed me, but I am not making that a stipulation to participate or to win.

November's BintoM Giveaway (ending November 6th) prize pack will consist of:
  
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book/movie combo


Here's a little bit about both:


I have a brand new paperback copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory written by Roald Dahl that I bought from Books-A-Million.

Summary:  Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, Our Hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!

To go along with the book, I have a brand new copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the movie:


Blurb:  What wonders await you in Willy Wonka's factory? Explore fields of soft minty sugar grass in the Chocolate Room ... Sail along the Chocolate River in a pink sugar boat ... Experiment with Everlasting Gobstoppers in the Inventing Room ... Observe talented squirrels in the Nut Room and travel to the Television Room by a glass elevator. You'll find a lot that's funny, a little that's mysterious ... and an adventure as sweet and satisfying as a Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight bar.

Normally, this is where I'd have the link to the entry form, but... I've decided to add to this prize pack. Not only do I enjoy comparing books to their corresponding movies, but I also enjoy comparing older movies to their newer, remade versions. Thus, I have decided to include a copy of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory to this prize pack!
