Christmas Book Giveaway!

148 Replies

***This contest is now over! I’ve selected a winner! The winner is listed here. I’ll be posting another book giveaway around January 1, 2010!! I’ve reviewed some great books, so visit and read about some of the great novels I’ve been enjoying lately!

I know it’s still a little early for Christmas, but I’m having a Christmas book giveaway this month because I want the winner to receive the books at the beginning of December – in time to enjoy for the holidays. You can also give these books away as Christmas gifts. All of the books are brand new, never read! These are Christmas novella collections and, as always, if you enter this drawing, I’ll automatically add you to my mailing list. However, I don’t send out mass e-mails often, so you won’t be bombarded with too much correspondence from me. The contest is limited to U.S. and Canada residents only. If you enter, please leave an email address so that I can contact you if you win. If you do win, I retain the right to place your first and last name and city and state on my blog, announcing you as the winner! I purchased these novels, free copies were not given to me by the publisher. All ten novels will be given to ONE winner! Here are the novels that I’m giving away:

    What a fabulous giveaway! You are showing what a generous spirit you have. I can’t think of a better present than a box of books and these all sound like really good ones too. The kind that go well with a snuggly couch and a warm cup of cocoa. :o)

    I also think your newest book sounds wonderful! Congratulations. I’ll have to look it up and add it to my “want” list.
