Disclosure: Macmillan’s Collector Library partnered with Savings in Seconds on this post. I received books! Opinions shared are mine.
When Macmillan’s Collector Library reached out to participate in our Holiday Gift Guide, I just couldn’t wait that long. After all, they have so many delightful perfect-for-Halloween titles!
Fans of Escape Room games will love Classic Locked-Room Mysteries! Remember solving these riddles with your friends? I still enjoy trying to figure these out.
A spooky Halloween event wouldn’t be complete without featuring Dracula. This timeless story has inspired countless movies, books, and characters. This cover is stunning. You see the solid background of the top and expect it to be benign, but then you notice Dracula’s hand….so creepy.
Just look at this cool spooky cover for The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde! The lighting, stairwell, and even the cane speak of classic eerie stories. It’s been so long since I read this one, I might just have to make it a top priority for October!
“Leave a full-sentence comment on the post telling why you want to win this giveaway.” I like mysteries, and I want to be wowed by devilishly clever mysteries!
I want to win this because I started getting copies of my favorite books in this collection and I would love to add this to the shelf. I love a good mystery. 🙂
I enjoy reading mysteries and I enjoy collections like this!!
MCL also publishes “The Age of Innocence” by Edith Wharton–the cover painting is incredible!
I want to win as a gift for my mom!
The MCL “The Wizard Of Oz” would be good!
I love reading new books from new authors
I’ve never read “The Mill On the Floss,” but the lovely painting on the cover makes me want to read George Eliot’s autobiographical novel!
The MCL edition of “Lord Peter Wimsey Investigates” by Dorothy L. Sayers would be great!–short stories about Lord Peter Wimsey were my favorites when I was young!
I wasn’t familiar with the classic crime novel “Malice Aforethought” by Francis Iles that MCL has reissued–it sounds very film noir!
I like mysteries and would love to read and add this to my “library”.
MCL has a great Children’s Classics Collection boxed set. I’ve read Lewis Carroll, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and Hans Christian Anderson, but I’ve yet to read Lucy Montgomery (“Anne Of Green Gables”).
MCL’s “The Riddle Of the Sands” by Erskine Childers sounds like a really good WWI spy book!
I would love to win this for my daughter who loves to collect and read classic books. I haven’t heard of this book before and I know my daughter will love it.
I would love to win a book from Macmillon’s Collector Library, because I enjoy reading the classics.
The MCL edition of “Orlando” by Virginia Woolf makes good use of what is evidently a miniature portrait by Nicholas Hilliard!
I love to figure out a fiendishly clever mystery. Also, I’d like to protect myself against anyone figuring a way to get at me inside my locked room.
MCL’s edition of “The Go-Between” by L. P. Hartley would interesting. I’ve seen the movie, but have yet to read the book!
I would like to read “What Katy did”.
MCL has an edition of “The African Queen” by C. S. Forester. I didn’t realize he wrote that–he’s the Horatio Hornblower guy!
MCL has an edition of “Vanity Fair” by William Makepeace Thackeray–that’s one of my favorite novels! (Although I haven’t read it in years.)
MCL publishes “The Prisoner of Zenda” by Anthony Hope! I don’t think I’ve every enjoyed any books more than “The Prisoner Of Zenda” and its sequel!
I would like to read “Round About the Christmas Tree”.
MCL publishes “I Capture the Castle” by Dodie Smith. I thought the movie version was pretty good, so I expect this is good as well!
I love good mystery stories. I need to read The Strange Case Of Dr, Jekyll And Mr. Hyde.
Id love to read “Far from The Madding Crowd! It sounds like an awesome read!
I love to read mysteries and I haven’t read some of these, so winning would be a bonus.
The MCL edition of “Five Children and It” by E. Nesbit is a great children’s book! This was one of my favorite books as a child. The description says it’s “beautifully illustrated,” so I was worried–did it still have the magical Edwardian illustrations I enjoyed? I’ve investigated at Amazon UK, and, yes, it does, it has the illustrations by “H.R. Millar”!
Another book by MCL that I would love to read is The Golden Treasury by Francis Turner Palgrave. It includes four books which each celebrates a different era in the evolution of English poetry, from Elizabethan to the 19th century.
MCL has an edition of “Sweet Danger” by Margery Allingham with a great vintage photograph on the dustjacket! I was unfamiliar with both this “Golden Age detective story” and the author!
I would like The Wizard of Oz.
MCL has “The Scarlet Pimpernel” by Baroness Orczy. I enjoyed it when I read it many years ago–much better than any of the movie versions! That demned elusive Pimpernel! (Demned–not a typo, even if that’s not the spelling in the book!)
MCL publishes “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame! That really is the most delightful book ever written!
