I just read Holly Lisle's I See You and I loved it. I've just added most of her stuff to be to be bought pile.
ReplyDeleteOne of my groups is having a Christmas Contest.
www.aftermidnightfantasies.com/contest.htm
Ten prizes in all, i think...
OoOoO...I've been very interested in reading some of Holly Lisle's fantasy for a while now. I See You is on my TBR pile, Shiloh. Your recommendation may have pushed it up a bit. =)
ReplyDeleteI love give-aways. Thanks for posting this, PBW! I love the new quote by e.e. cummings.
Email: turquoiselily@gmail.com
I so enjoy coming in here everyday to see what is going on.
ReplyDeleteBuy Claiming the Courtesan everyone! Anna is a fellow Romance Writer of Australia mate and it's a great book!
ReplyDeleteThanks, PBW, for publicising my contest! I want that ARC to go to a worthy home. Happy Holidays. Oh, and Keziah, thanks to you too!
ReplyDeleteThanks ;-)
ReplyDeleteI run regular draws for signed copies of my novels (Hal Spacejock 1 or 2 at this stage) right here. Worldwide airmail included, so I don't care where people live.
I love free stuff!! These contests make my little giveaway seem insignificant. I'm going to share this info on my blog -- contests are a blast.
ReplyDeleteBooks!! Yay! Just one more reason to love December. Consider me entered for Talyn. :-D I hope you had a productive weekend, PBW!

I see you is one of the best romantic suspenses I've ever read.
Talyn is on my shopping list! I've been waiting for the paperback.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've just posted my current book giveaway in my blog, the Beginnings anthology. My contribution to the anth. is linked to my PBW ebook freebie. : )
One I spotted: Rosina Lippi is giving away another pile o'books at her blog (http://www.tiedtothetracks.com/storytelling/archives/002470.htm) and she always has really good ones in the pile. :)
ReplyDeleteL.
Hmmm... free stuff.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what on my desk I could give away... thanks for all the updates though on free things. Around the holidays, free is always good.
I'm giving away 4 Christmas Beanie Babies in December--directions to enter are on my blog : )
ReplyDeleteAs someone who loaned her lovely hardcover copy of Talyn to a "friend" (why oh why do I never learn?) who has now disappeared from the face of the earth, I would dearly love to win your giveaway this time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this! And thanks for picking this particular book! Holly's recent post, "Selling to the net" left me heartbroken (that such a wonderful book might simply die), scared (for my future career [??]) and angry (if this is not wilful stupidity, I don't know what is).
I've read Holly's "I See You" and it was great!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely ditto Wendelin's second paragraph. :(
ReplyDeleteI have my copy of Talyn set aside at the bookstore, but another one for a gift wouldn't hurt. :)
Jess
Thanks for mentioning our Writeminded contest! :)
ReplyDeleteLittle Lamb Lost, I'm sure you'll be fine if you get to take my ARC home. Just give it a little bit of affection and don't lock it away in the dark. Don't let it run around with bad boys and party too much. Hmm, that sounds a bit dull. Forget that last bit! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI'm running two contests for giveaways this month: The one Shiloh mentioned and the other one is for a print book and a Barnes & Noble gift card.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
Wow, so many books are on my TBR list and now I think I'll be adding to it. These look like great contests!
ReplyDeleteI'm giving away 2 copies of my latest book, Stepping Up to the Plate (scheduled to be released next week). All who enter will receive a free exclusive excerpt from the novel.
ReplyDeleteWarning: It's gay romantic fiction so keep that in mind.
If you're interested, ENTER TODAY!
Count me in for the contest. I've tried all year and not won once. Hope the holidays prove lucky for me ;-).
ReplyDeleteWishing you all a very blessed Holiday season. And PWB - you rock!! Keep up the great work.
I would love to win Talyn. I looked for it at Hasting's and couldn't find it. After reading Holly's post about the travails of a midlist author, I would like to help her out.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great round-up list!
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting a "Pay it Forward" contest on my site this week...see the details here.

Hell, if I'm feeling generous, there might even be TWO winners...
Love your e.e. cummings quote.
