[TSS] International Book Giveaways List, Oct 18 Edition
Welcome to this week’s edition of International Book Giveaways, which I publish every Sunday as my Sunday Salon post. Giveaways included in this list are open to everyone!
I’ve also added a short “Asides” section, where I put related giveaways and contests that don’t fit, for whatever reason, into the main Internationl Book Giveaways List. I’ll include this feature whenever I come across anything related that I think is interesting.
This international book giveaways list round-up post is a regular feature here at MsBookish so if you’re holding a book giveaway that’s open worldwide, let me know and I’ll include your giveaway in my next international book giveaways round-up post.

Some Asides
Here’s a little something for writers: agent Mary Kole of the Andrea Brown Literary Agent is running a Query Contest. Deadline is October 31 and the prize is a critique of the first 30 pages of your manuscript (thanks, Robyn!)
Win a copy of the Shadows and Light anthology, where author Carrie Harris’ short story, “Revenge of the Mucus Shovel Fairy” appears. I don’t know if this one is international or not, as the post doesn’t say, but it’s too fun to leave out. What do you have to do? Rename Twilight! That’s right – come up with an alternative title for Twilight. Ends Oct 22.

So awesome of you to link to my contest and say nice things. Sending sparkles and marble-skinned vampires your way (but only if you’re into that kind of thing).
