The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova5 copies up for grabs courtesy of Hachette Books!
About the book: Breathtakingly suspenseful and beautifully written, The Historian is the story of a young woman plunged into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family's past connect to an inconceivable evil: the dark fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages. The search for the truth becomes an adventure of monumental proportions, taking us from monasteries and dusty libraries to the capitals of Eastern Europe - in a feat of storytelling so rich, so hypnotic, so exciting that it has enthralled readers around the world. (Hachette)

thx!
I loved the book, but I already have it so please don't include me in the giveaway. I read The Thirteenth Tale soon afterwards - it was interesting how the similarities in the stories played out. I think I liked Thirteenth Tale even more than the Historian, but they were both great.
This looks great! Please enter me!
