Want tickets to a screening of The Time Traveler's Wife?

2009 at 8am     Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky

If you missed my Twitterific giveaway last night (and I realize that many of you did because 10pm is kind of late), do not despair! There’s hope for you yet.

I still have a few pairs of tickets to the August 12th Washington, DC screening of The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Want ‘em?  Here’s how:

  • Leave a comment here to be entered.  Tell me who you’ll take with you if you win.
  • Tweet, blog, or stumble this giveaway for an additional entry (and be sure to come back and leave a comment with a link letting me know that you did).
  • If you don’t have a blog or a Twitter account, email 5 friends about the giveaway. CC me on the email bookladyblog (at) gmail (dot) com.
  • Entries will be accepted until Wednesday, August 5th at 11:59pm Eastern.
  • Winners will be chosen randomly.

Good luck to ya!

Special thanks to Warner Brothers for offering me this opportunity. As I mentioned on Twitter last night, I don’t usually participate in promotions like this, but I was so excited to hear that they’re reaching out to bookish folks that I just couldn’t say no.

    I wouldn’t be able to go as I’m not in DC but I’d pass my tickets along to my best friend and her sister who live there—they were the ones who told me that I really ought to read TTW, and I did and loved it.

    I twittered about it at twitter.com/seewrites

    Thanks!

    I would take a good friend from college who lives in DC – I gave her this book a few years ago and she loved it.

  3. Alexa on July 31st, 2009 9:28 am

    I would take my husband as he loved it and recommended the book to me also the MIL is in town to baby sit :)

  4. Amanda on July 31st, 2009 11:52 am

    I would take my friend who loves books too but she’s moving this weekend. So I’d take my husband.

    I would take my friend Judy (she’ll probably try to read this book before the screening IF she hasn’t already).

    I recently visisted my DC friends and would love to pass along tickets to my wonderful hosts. They are wonderfully bookish people :)

    I’d take my best friend. We both absolutely love the book and I know she’d be thrilled if I could get us tickets to see the movie.

  11. Lu on July 31st, 2009 2:16 pm

    I would take my boyfriend, Z, because he gave me this book to read when we first started dating. I knew we were in it for the long haul after that ;)

    I would take my daughter and make a day of it! We’re both reading this book right now! Take a trip on the red line, then have lunch at Cheesecake Factory, then across the street to see the film! :)

    I can’t make it up to DC due to scheduling issues, but I did add your giveaway to a post of mine. I am jealous of all those who win! :)

    I would take my wife since we don’t get out much, and she is really looking forward to this movie. She loved the book!

    Also tweeted.

    I would take my mom. I love this story and she practically swoons everytime she sees a preview for it.

  20. Sarah on August 1st, 2009 3:06 pm

    I would brign my best friend. Her and I did our project about TTTW and loved it so much!

    Audrey Niffenegger’s book drove me to tears. As I follow Henry and Claire’s shockingly unique relationship, I was truly awestruck by the strength of bond and the way they keep up their ceaseless faith, hope, and attempt to keep their love perpetually alive. Henry’s time travel is especially troublesome for Claire, especially when she has to accept his presence at his varied different age levels, and his frequent disappearance without warning. It’s exhilarating to capture their ability to maintain their love relationship despite so many obstacles. And yet, love in this book is not merely defined as the relationship, shared between Henry and Claire, in which both very much look forward to the times of being together to offer them their strength to live. Through seeing what love does to Henry’s father and Henry’s old girlfriend, we do know that love can also destroy one’s state of mind.

    I was moved to tears by the book and and I would love to see this film to find out if it affects me in the same way.

    By, the way, I would bring my neighbor who’s husband is always in and out of town.

  23. Demetria Ball on August 3rd, 2009 12:19 pm

    If I win, I will take my fiance.

  24. Demetria Ball on August 3rd, 2009 12:20 pm

    If I win, I will take my best friend.

  25. Eileen on August 3rd, 2009 4:27 pm

    My husband. Thanks for your consideration

    I have read this book five times. I have never fallen in love with a book like this one. I feel like I know each of the characters personally. I have cried every time I have finished it — the first time I cried so hard that I had to finish it from my bathroom to keep from waking my sleeping boyfriend.

    Last year, I went to Asia for one month. To keep from carrying around too much excess weight, I just brought just one book, of course, The Time Travelers Wife. I read it four times during that trip.

    I have had the release date for this movie on my calendar for months. I can’t wait to see it. If I win these tickets, I will bring one of my closest girlfriends who I have known all of my life. She introduced this wonderful book to me.

    FYI – I emailed 5 friends and BCCed you.

  27. Nida Ahmed on August 4th, 2009 4:43 pm

    me and my friend :)

  28. Erica Nguyen on August 4th, 2009 10:25 pm

    I would bring my roomate. He doesn’t go out much so it will be a treat for him.
