Christmas in July Contest




Christmas In July Contest!


I don't know about you but I love Christmas and decided to have a Christmas in July contest with the books shown above. Some are ARC's, some I've bought and one or two are autographed. They are all wonderful books and I really do need to make some room before Tim throws me out and keeps the books. LOL!

The books included in this box are as follows:

Barely A Lady by Eileen Dreyer

The Making of a Dutchess by Shana Galen

The Highlander's Sword by Amanda Forester

Renegade by Sarah Parr

Born to Bite by Lynsay Sands

Larceny and Lace by Annette Blair

Stolen Promise by Lisa Marie Wilkinson

To Conquer a Highlander by Mary Wine


Anywho, if you are interested make sure and leave me a comment on why you think you deserve to win along with your email addy(no email addy no entry). This is open to US Residents only folks. Sorry but shipping is a bit much for outside the US and I really can't afford it.

I will pick one winner on July 25th and post the winner's name by the 27th. Make sure and stop back because if your name is picked and you don't contact me within 7 days I will pick another winner. No and's, if's or but's!!

I need to win this because I love to read. I read an average of one book a day and it gets very expensive.
The books look like awesome reads.

I think I deserve to win because I'm stuck at home this summer and not able to go to ANY reading conventions because of money issues and tuition is increasing even more. Curses you school!

Thanks for the fabulous contest!

Awesome giveaway!! Hmm.. I deserve to win this, because I've definitely been needing a dose of some sexy Highlanders. Also, I think some nice ARCs would definitely help with my teensy little low-scale blog. That.. and I'm poor, and one of those books is one I have been wanting/ NEEDING to get.

Thanks!!

Boy I struggle with saying I deserve to win but I would enjoy winning because I spend a good part of every day immersed in the imaginary world of romance.

Wow what a great batch of books! I've been on the road for the last three weeks working without a lot of time to read. I don't know that I'm all that deserving but I'd sure like to read these! annhonATaolDOTcom

shaunesay said...

Yay Christmas in July! I need to win this because I don't think I have any of those books listed yet, and that in itself in quite amazing! I also need to win because my step-son is now living with us and I'm trying to offer job-finding advice to him, and I think ANYONE would find reading some great romances preferable to talking about what kind of responses you should give to interview questions! In fact, my step-son would probably prefer reading romances with me, to having to think about finding a job!

Thank you for such a generous contest Terra! *hugs*

jedisakora said...

Oh wow. I think i deserve to win because i would review the books for my goodreads page, live journal, and live journal romance reader community. This would give the authors and the books some publicity. ^^ Plus i'm unemployed and don't have money to spend on books that often. ^^

I'd like to win either The Highlander's Sword by Amanda Forester or To Conquer a Highlander by Mary Wine to give to BCer MissLou. MissLou comes to our local Mid-South Meet-ups (she is mississippimom's Mom) and she is just precious but we hardly ever have the type of books she likes - books with those sexy Highlander men!! It would be cool to give her a little Christmas in July.

There are 4 books from the top of my Wish List here. Christmas in July is always fun. I have been going through books, sorting them today. I have a stack to donate to the library for their sale and a few to go for trade at the used book store. Now there is room for a few more. They will have a good home and once read, will be passed on to another deserving person, unless they make my Keeper Shelf.

Merry Christmas! Maybe it will cool things down a bit if we think snow : )

I would love to win because I am currently forced to stay at home with my ailing mother and need some distraction/romance/take me away-ism! (I have a thing for those Scottish hunkymen..)

I deserve to win because it's been really HOT here this summer. I spend my time in the library and Barnes & Noble - using the free wi-fi and reading.
Our library has an Adult Summer Reading Program in addition to the one for kids, so the more books I can read, the more chances I have to win! I had asked, and we can read books other than library books! I'd love some more books to add to my list of books I've read!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Barbarawr said...

I deserve to win because it's been a LONG summer. It's over 100 degrees almost every day. In order to set a good example for my children, I have gotten all my books out of the library for years now. Well... with my son alternating between taking the car to work and taking the car to visit friends, I never, ever have a car. So that means I can't get OR return books from the library without a big struggle. And I've spent so many years getting library books that it would kill me to pay for books now. So if I won this, it is probably enough books to get me through the summer until he goes back to college and I have a car again.

adr1001025 said...

I deserve to win because I'm a long-time reader of romance especially historical romance books. I'm in a money crunch situation and I can't buy new books at the moment. I would love to read each and every one of these books.

Tanya from HometownExpert.ORG said...

Oh, I need to win. I need to win so I can slip into the bliss of another world with romance and beauty and adventure! Reality right now is three kids at home for the summer, a broken dishwasher, a large dog with an intestinal disorder and a worried expression, a hubby who works out of town during the week, and stay-at-home-Mom budget! Give a girl a break and send those little beauties my way, and I promise to lock the bathroom door when I retreat in there to read them. Let the kids bang all they want :)

Thanks for a great giveaway!
