REVIEW: Books for Thanksgiving Giveaway
I have a bunch of books lying around here. Yes, there are alot of Berkeley/Signet books, but the reason is because Penguin sends me them so I am giving them away. The deal is you just have to comment anywhere on the site until Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving, I’ll go to random.org and punch in the number of total commenters and then random.org will spit out a list of numbers and I’ll just go down the list and assign a book to the winner. You can certainly put by your comment what book you’d like. I’ll put up a list of books later today.

As you can imagine, this is pretext enough for me to check back here 2-3 times a day…
Ah, OCD and the romance reader…LOL
Nov 14, 2006 @ 07:13:13
That’s nice! I’m going to have to come out of lurk and try to post, too. I’m a much better reader than a writer so I tend to lurk. I agonize over what to write. lol
If I win, I would like either Bit the Jackpot, Harmony’s Way, Unleashed, Prince of Ice or Open Invitation. That’s a big list, yes?
Nov 14, 2006 @ 08:39:42
I love the idea of detailing all of the great things about romance. I’m a sucker for the happy ending. (But I’ll be happy to get back to the “curmudgeons” after Thanksgiving too!)
Nov 14, 2006 @ 11:37:28
What a wonderful idea! this is a great blog. Any book is delightful.
Nov 14, 2006 @ 17:26:12
It is nice of you to share your wealth.
Nov 14, 2006 @ 19:40:09
What a wonderful idea! I’m a regular lurker and I appreciate all of the Js involved in DearAuthor.com
Nov 15, 2006 @ 10:43:47
Ok, time to make a choice, I think. So I’m torn btw Unleashed, Prince of Ice and Bit the Jackpot…
OT, but I really appreciate the search engine and the tags!
Nov 15, 2006 @ 13:05:36
That’s a great idea, and very generous of you.
Just in case–you never know…–if I’m one of the lucky winners I’d love to get Meljean Brook’s Demon Angel. Waiting till 2007 is torture after reading the two excerpts.
Nov 15, 2006 @ 13:22:45
The Annette Blair book sounds like it could be fun. If my number should come up on Turkey Day I would love that book or the impossible to find Charlene Teglia.
Thanks!
Nov 15, 2006 @ 21:27:53
Meljean Brook’s Demon Angel! I’m dying to check that book out. It’s an interesting pretext, and while paranormals are usually my favorite, the genre’s been a little worn out lately. ;)
Nov 17, 2006 @ 09:12:24
Ooh no one has asked for Lynn Kurlands book-that would be my top choice.
Nov 17, 2006 @ 13:30:41
This is great! I would like the Annette Blair book, and if not then Ready or Not. Thanks.
Nov 17, 2006 @ 20:37:44
What a great list of giveaway books. Would love to read Demon Angel, Prince of Ice, Bit the Jackpot, The Scot, the Witch and the Wardrobe, or Share the Darkness.
Nov 17, 2006 @ 23:11:58
How nice. I could go for the Holly, Brook or McCarthy, or Leigh book. or Unleashed. Then again, aside from Lora Leigh & Emma Holly, I haven’t read any of these authors, so I’m up for anything. Thanks Ja(y)nes!
Nov 18, 2006 @ 08:02:34
For those of you who are asking about the Charlene Teglia book, remember that it’s only going to be out as an ebook in December. I think it will be in print later but I don’t know when.
Nov 18, 2006 @ 20:04:11
I’m thankful to wake up everyday, grateful to still have some of my wits about me…and the possibilty of free books for a reading/writing addict? Yowza. Just read your Jo Beverly review. She is the mistress of all she commands. Her latest book featuring Dare was outstanding. She is a smart writer, whose intelligence and historical research elevates the usual romantic conventions. She’s an auto-buy for me. I’m not familiar with all of the authors on your list, but I’m easy—pick me for anything!
Nov 19, 2006 @ 16:49:08
Thank you so much!
Demon Angel would definately be at the top of my
list!
Many thanks!
Nov 19, 2006 @ 20:07:12
First Ellora’s Cave starts releasing a book a day, now you have books to give away! No question, I’d love to have Lora’s Leigh’s Harmony’s Way. I love Emma Holly and the “Unleashed” anthology looked good too!
This is the first year we have an empty next and no company for Thanksgiving. For the first time in my life, I expect we’ll go out to a restaurant for dinner. But there is an upside: no company to entertain, lots of time to read, read, read!
Nov 20, 2006 @ 10:37:24
This is great! I’d love any book, but I’ve a particular hankering to read Meljean Brook’s Demon Angel. 2nd choice, Kathryn Caskie’s How to Seduce a Duke…..3rd, Warlard Poster by Elizabeth Vaughn. Very cool. Thanks! (i’m crossing my fingers and sending happy thoughts to the Gods of Random Choice) :)
Nov 20, 2006 @ 10:48:21
I would love to read Harmony’s Way by Lora Leigh, Meljean Brook, Demon Angel, Bella Andre, Take Me, or Unleashed.
Nov 20, 2006 @ 11:00:37
Charlene Teglia Yule Be Mine
Nov 20, 2006 @ 11:46:22
You ladies are great.
Heck, free books are always welcome, though I did read Demon Angel already–wonderful!!
Nov 20, 2006 @ 13:27:53
What a wonderful contest. There are some really great books on the list. I would love to read: Harmony’s Way, Bit Jackpot, A soldier’s christmas, Unleashed, How to seduce a duke, Star of the Morning.
Good luck everyone!
Nov 20, 2006 @ 14:37:37
This is a great idea. I hope I am one of the “chosen” It would make my day!
Nov 20, 2006 @ 21:49:41
That’s a great list of books you are giving away. I would love to win one of them.
Nov 21, 2006 @ 11:17:40
That is very generous of an offer. If I were chosen as one of the drawing winners I would be particularly interested in the Emma Holly, Meljean Brook, Lora Leigh, Bella Andre, Charlene Teglia, Lynn Kurland or Unleashed Anthology. Yes, booklust…I know.
Nov 21, 2006 @ 11:36:09

Nov 22, 2006 @ 03:07:42

If I were a lucky winner I would love Demon Angel, Prince of Ice, Unleashed, Bit the Jackpot, The Scot,the Withc and the Wardrobe or Take Me. Well, in truth any book would be fine, those are just the ones that are in my wishlist.
