The big topple!

It's the BIG TOPPLE 


(note - this contest has concluded - Hilary's entry won - very many thanks to all entrants, your efforts were very much appreciated).

A book toppling contest to celebrate the release of Emperor of Thorns, last book in the Broken Empire trilogy.

The prize!

#1 A signed doodled hardback copy of Emperor of Thorns (not this one, but possibly even better... or worse)





#2 A mug - sporting all three covers of the Broken Empire Trilogy


#3 

The sheer honor of it. Victory over your enemies. The lamentation of their lamentors. The knowledge that your name will be whispered down the centuries.
The GLORY!

The Rules:

It's pretty simple. Set some books up and film them while you topple them. Send me the file or link to youtube etc.

There will be a day of voting August 12th and the winner will be declared. Obviously the number of books toppled will be a factor, but people will be driven by other factors such as creativity, style, filmography, and sunspots. I will order the entries by number of books involved.

Go.


The Entries:

Here's mine to inspire you to do better:

    1. I saw that when googling "book dominos" to see if this ( http://mark---lawrence.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/book-dominos.html ) was original or not. It's very good :)
