Happy Haulidays

I’m entering and so can you!  Chronicle Books is giving away $500 in books for one blogger, one commenter AND one charity.  How awesome is that?!

If I win, one lucky commenter will win all of these books too. So, don’t forget to leave a comment.  Increase your odds by entering yourself.  Here are the rules.

The rules:

  • If you’re a blogger, write a blog post listing the Chronicle books you would love to win. $500 is the max that your stack could total.
  • Include in your post, what charity you would love to win their own Chronicle haul.
  • If you don’t have a blog, don’t worry. Just comment on a Haul-iday post. If a post you comment on wins the contest, you have a chance to win that same stack of books.
  • Contest ends December 2nd.

Hey, I won!

I visit www.writerspace.com regularly.  It’s a place where you can access the biggest names in romance.  The participating authors have monthly contests and the site itself has a web ‘party’ a few times a year where you can chat with your favorites.  On Sunday they had a Beach Party and by signing up once I was entered to win from hundreds of prizes.  I won a book by Maryrose Wood.  http://writerspace.com/beach/winners.html 

If you are a fan of romance or romantic suspense I hope you’ll check out the site.    This is the third book I’ve won here in the last 3 or 4 years.  Happy Reading!
