MY FIRST GIVEAWAY CONTEST!!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED AUGUST 15, 2009.

I am excited to make this my first Giveaway! There will be more Giveaways coming up so keep a look out!




Giveaway of ARC of SPINNING FORWARD by Terri Dulong
Author's site: http://www.terridulong.com/index.htm

This is a debut novel and listed as "women's fiction" which is not something I read as often as other genres. I enjoyed this book so much that it is hard for me to give it away as I want to keep it! But I also want others to enjoy it too and it won't be released until October!

I will be posting my review tomorrow.

To enter the giveaway:
1. One entry: Please comment here telling me another debut novel you have read and enjoyed. Please leave your e-mail so I can contact you should you win!
2. Another entry: Become a Follower or tell me if you are already a follower
3. Two additional entries by commenting on the REVIEW HERE!


You may combine entries in one comment.

*open to residents of US and Canada (Sorry but I had to add this when I saw how expensive overseas mailing was. However! I am willing to chip in $3.00 bucks towards overseas postage if an overseas winner is willing to pay the rest! In which case an overseas person is welcome to enter the Giveaway! *G*)
*no P.O. Boxes


This contest will close Midnight (Central) on August 14, 2009.
The winner will be randomly selected from all entries. I will e-mail the winner early on the 15th who will have 72 hours to respond. [I need time to mail out the book before I go on a cruise the end of the month! :)]

    It's not a 'woman's fiction' but I loved the book Obedience by Will Lavender. I hope he writes more.

    Wanda, I'm about to start Mercury in Retrograde for my next book! how funny.

    Martha, my favorite ARC I've ever read has to be Life, Libby, and the Pursuit of Happiness by Hope Lyda. Fun, sweet, inspirational chick lit story.

    Have a great day!

    A debut novel I've recently read (or should I say devoured) was April and Oliver by Tess Callahan. Another fabulous character-driven novel with such passion that my heart ached at times.

    A new debut I read recently was Moonlight on Diamonds by Lydia Storm was pretty good for a suspense book (not alot of romance in it)!

    I am a follower already and I posted on your review for Spinning Foward.

    Thanks for sharing :)!!
