This contest is over!

Sorry, but this contest is closed. However, if you're looking for more fun-with-author events, look no further than this month's calendar to see the fun to be had. And to see what other fun tricks are up our bookish sleeves, take a look at our newsletter.


 
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Win an evening of food, fun, and conversation with Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love.

Elizabeth Gilbert

A celebrated writer pens an irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life.

You and five lucky friends will join Elizabeth after her reading at Powell's for coffee, dessert, and tales of her incredible year in Italy, India, and Indonesia. The contest winner and guests will also each receive a copy of Eat, Pray, Love.

This exclusive night out with the author will be hosted by Powell's at Bluehour after her reading at our Burnside store on March 13.

For your chance to win, just sign up for the newest member of our newsletter family, PowellsBooks.Events. Only one edition — if you don't like it just unsubscribe. If you are already subscribed, thanks! You can still enter the contest, no problem — you'll only receive one newsletter per email address subscribed.

THE FINE PRINT
All entries must be received by February 28. The contest winner will be announced on March 3, and the coffee and dessert fun-chat-hang-out-time with Elizabeth Gilbert will follow her reading at Powell's City of Books at 7:30pm on March 13. So if you do win, you and your five friends will naturally want to go to the reading beforehand too, don't you think?
