Do you remember my post a few weeks ago for my daughter's birthday? I mentioned that we watched The Princess Bride and I was overwhelmed by all the comments from people who LOVE this movie. Well, a few years ago I found out it was based on a book. A real book. This book.
So for all my Princess Bride lovers, are you interested? Want a copy? I thought I'd throw this out there for you or for any Princess Bride lovers you have in your family. Maybe a Christmas gift for someone special!
What do you have to do?
1 entry - Just leave a comment here. Tell me your favorite line from the movie if you've seen it. Otherwise, any comment will do.
Bonus entry - If you're a follower, let me know in another comment.
That's it. I'll keep this open until Sunday night, 11/27. I will post a winner Monday morning. I figure I don't want to have to deal with the traffic and craziness on Black Friday but I wanted you to get it before Christmas.
Fine print: This giveaway is sponsored by me using my own money and not to promote anybody's likes or dislikes (well, except my own). Unfortunately, due to this, it is open to the United States ONLY at this time. I regret this but hopefully I will be able to open giveaways up to international commenters at a later date when there is a little more money in the bank. Thank you for participating!

I love that movie! There were so many funny lines so it is hard to pick, but I liked when Carol Kane said, "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!"
I'm a follower and I also like the "mostly dead" line. LOL!
Oh I just love that movie. My favorite line is "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think." Thanks for the giveaway. I haven't read the book yet.
Being the family cook...
Miracle Max: Sonny, true love is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe
LOL! Would love to get this book!
Oh, yes, and I am a follower! MLT!
So, you don't have to give me the book because I have it and have read it (let's say several times). I just felt like commenting because I LOVE the book and the movie. It's a classic that my family loves to watch when we get all together.
We love that movie here! "Anybody want a Peanut?" :)
I have not seen the movie or read the book but after reading your blog and the comments I would love to.
I am a follower and would love to read the book
i haven't seen the movie [i cannot sit through a movie] but i love a good book. would love to win a book! thanx for the oppotunity to do so.
i'm afollower!
I haven't seen it, but would love to read it first anyways. THANKS for the chance!
It's so hard to choose just one! How about a couple?
Grandpa: "Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that rated the most passionate, the most pure... this one left them all behind." (this one makes me go awww)
Westley: "Give us the gate key."
Yellin: "I have no gate key."
Inigo: "Fezzik, tear his arms off."
Yellin: "Oh, you mean this gate key." (this one makes me giggle)
Inigo: "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." (this one is just awesome)
LOVE the movie...I've never read the book. Even if I don't win, I'm getting the book! Thanks for the chance!
I am a follower!
"I'm not a witch, I'm your WIFE!" ;)
And I am ever your loyal follower!
Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
I really need to buy this DVD...
I am a follower!
So many choices...my favorite part is the whole poison scene, especially when Vizzini says:
You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"!
Also, a follower!
"Would you like a peanut" is tied with "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!"
Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I am also a follower :)
I'm a follower--never seen the movie nor read the book. Thanks!
I'm a follower!. I haven't seen the movie yet, but would love to!
What a great giveaway!!
Favorite line (of the moment...it regularly changes, you know... ;-) ) is:
MEHHHH-WIDGE. MEH-WIDGE is what BWINGS us TOGEVEHHHHH today.
And I am DEFINITELY a follower! =D
I have never seen this movie so would love to win a copy.
Of course I'm a follower!
I haven't read it nor seen the movie. But it would be a great book to take with me with my twice a week appointments with my son. Thanks for the chance to win.
I'm a follower. That's why in your last posting of the PB I realized I had missed something.
I consider myself quite a movie buff. I need to fill in this blank. I also love to read.
Don't enter me since I already have 2 copies (one for each son), but, did you know that there is also an audio book read by Rob Reiner? It's great, too! Would you believe that there are 12 of us sitting around the TV watching Princess Bride as I read and type this? Sew funny!
What a great giveaway - "inconceivable!" :) Thanks!
I am a follower! thanks again!
I love that movie. It was my niece's favorite when she was little. My favorite part is the explanation of mostly dead and all dead including
Westley: Why won't my arms move?
Fezzik: You've been mostly-dead all day.
I am a follower. Thanks for the giveaway. I didn't realize that it was a book.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. One of my favorite lines has to be, "... and wuv, twue wuv..." :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I've never read the book and would love to!
I'm a follower. :)
"Stop rhyming - I mean it!
Anybody want a peanut?"
Thanks for the giveaway!
I popped over from Stray Stitches and would love to be entered for your giveaway! I've heard the name Princess Bride forever but have never seen the movie or read the book. It sure sounds interesting!
I saw the movie but it has been years. I'd love to have a copy of the book. Thanks for the giveaway.

My favorite line is probably "Mawwige is what brings us togevver today."
I have never seen the movie or read the book. I'm not sure why though? Hehe. Sounds like it's a good read.
