International Giveaway | Blood Water Paint by Joy McCullough

I recently had a wonderful spurt of five star reads when I finally got around to reading Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows duology and, just before that, Joy McCullough's wonderful novel in verse, Blood Water Paint which I reviewed here.

Combining historical fiction with poetry, Joy McCullough has brought the story of 17th century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi to life. Artemisia Gentileschi is my favourite artist; a woman who took revenge with paint after she was sexually assaulted by a man her father hired to tutor her and, remarkably for her time, chose to press charges against him.

 I devoured this book in one sitting and absolutely adored it, I'm confident it's going to remain one of my favourite books of 2018 and beyond, so I'm going to give a copy away! I'd love to see more people reading this book, so if you'd like to win a copy take a look at the giveaway information and leave a comment below telling me what your favourite read of 2018 has been so far!

  • If you're under 18, please make sure you have your parent/guardian's permission to give me your address which I'll need to send the book to you (I can promise you I won't share such personal information with anyone)

    The Last To Let Go by Amber Smith was my favorite read so far in 2018. Amazing, and just as good as her debut. Thanks for the opportunity!

    I absolutely loved 1984 by George Orwell! It is definitely my favourite book of the year. He is such a legendary writer. However, I am currently reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and so far I am loving it! It may take over as my favourite book!

      I'm ashamed to admit I still haven't read The Picture of Dorian Gray, but I agree that 1984 is a real masterpiece of the genre.

      I've never read any Anne Rice but I've heard so many good things I'll have to give her a try! I do enjoy the Interview with a Vampire film so I should check out the book.

    The Essex Serpent! It was such an amazing read with a Wuthering Heights kind of vibe.

      That one's on my TBR! I definitely need to get to it soon, I love books that discuss science and religion.
