Goodreads Japanese Book Giveaways

This giveaway end March 30th

This giveaway ends TODAY

Goodreads is a website that is all about books, but this copy of Taketori Monogatari is the first Japanese language book that I have seen listed in their giveaway section (maybe I have not been looking hard enough?).

Taketori Monogatari is a very old and famous Japanese story and I was surprised when I saw that the title of this book was in English, but this is because the inside of the book is half in Japanese (the story) and half in English (the vocabulary explanations and notes).

There are some photos of the inside of the book on Goodreads, but there is a better preview on Google Books

Samurai Revolution has not been published yet!

You need to be a member of Goodreads to enter their Giveaways, but being a member is free.

I do not have any books to giveaway myself, but if you are giving away a book that is related to Japan in some way and would like me to mention it here please leave me a message.

By the way, Studio Ghibli released a film recently that is based on this ancient tale - but it is not exactly the same as the original!
