Bookperk: Insider Access to the World of Books

The folks at HarperCollins e-mailed us this morning to let us know about a new site they've launched called Bookperk, which provides readers with exclusive merchandise and experiences from their favorite authors and books.

The site consists of a number of "offers", some of which require a purchase, some of which are giveaways. Two current offers (they seem to be available for a week or so at a time) piqued our interest (being the mystery and suspense fans that we are!):

• Purchase a copy of Jacqueline Winspear's latest Maisie Dobbs mystery, A Lesson in Secrets, and receive a special gift from AMC's upcoming murder mystery series The Killing. (Offer details link.)

• Enter to win a hardcover edition of I Am Number Four, signed by the cast of the film adapted from the book, plus an "I Am Number Four" hoodie. (Five winners; Offer details link.)

You can sign up for a free newsletter on the site, and also refer your friends to get credit against a future purchase. It's an interesting site; check it out!
