National Library Week
Since 2011, CaFleureBon has celebrated National Library Week which is observed throughout America in April. In the past we have linked favorite perfumes to books we love including Stranger in a Strange Land , Jane Eyre, Leaves of Grass, Interpreter of Maladies and Dune. Today, April 13, 2014 National Library Week begins and this year we honor the authors and books that changed our lives or our perceptions.
Your task this month (is to read a book) and to match our editors and contributors with the book we each chose as one of the most important books in our lives.
Elise Pearlstine, Contributor Neuromancer by William Gibson (1984)
David Falsberg, Contributor Tender is The Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1934)
Nancy Knows, Editor Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (1963)
Valerie Lee Vitale, Editor The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff (1982)
John Reasinger, Sr Editor The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles (1949)

The first reader to match the seven contributors and editors with the book they chose for National Library Week will win two perfumes of their choice. BE SURE TO INDICATE AT LEAST TWO PERFUMES YOU WOULD LIKE TO WIN (COUNTRY RESTRICTIONS) IN YOUR COMMENT, JUST IN CASE YOU WIN. If no one guesses correctly, the draw is random and don't complain if you don't get exactly what you want or you will have to read James Joyce Finnegan's Wake in one sitting (and you thought Ulysses was difficult). The Format of your guess must include the name of the editor and the name of the book to be eligble. (For example, David Falsberg, NAME OF BOOK AND TITLE ) Please indicate if you only wear natural perfumes in your comments and where you live. Draw closes April 17, 2014.
We announce the winners only on site and on our Facebook page, so Like Cafleurebon and use our RSS option…or your dream prize will be just spilled perfume.
