I know it’s not quite summer yet, but it’s never to early to pretend that it is, right?
Drag out your floppy hat, strappy sandals, and sunscreen. Don your bikini, shades, and grab a frosty beverage, cuz there’s a party going on right now! But don’t bring a beach read with you. Instead, win a book or two at The Romance Reviews Sizzling Summer Reads party. There’s a $100 gift certificate grand prize, not to mention four weeks of giveaways – lots of books and other prizes – and games galore. The prizes change every week, so don’t miss out. Especially week four, ahem. I’m giving away a copy of Wonderfully Wicked. But if you’re not feeling lucky and/or don’t want to wait, Wonderfully Wicked is on sale right now for 99 cents. That’s 99 pennies, people! Plus, you’d be saving $3 of your hard-earned cash.

Cool contest! Love the idea of matching the books to covers.
It’s kinda addictive too…I went on the site just to check it out, and found myself playing along. Hey, maybe I’ll win something. 🙂
I’m confused, but maybe because it’s Friday and usually by Friday my brain is fried.
And then when I read that I had to put on my bikini, I just stared horrified at the screen. I haven’t even waxed yet. Or worked on my tan. There’s no way that 2-piece is going on this ill-prepared body.
But I hope you get a lot of people to play along. It sounds like someone is going to be a lucky winner.
Have a great weekend, Coleen.

That’s what cover-ups are for, Patricia! In Oregon, tans are hard to come by until about July. And I won’t tell if you play along in sweats and t-shirt with only the floppy hat as any evidence of summer. Hope you have a great weekend too (with lots of deep, restful ZZZZ time). 🙂
I love summer and reading. Right now you’ve got me thinking about a beach with a hammock and a book. Paradise.
Sounds like a great place to be right now…on a Monday morning, stuck inside the office. Sigh…
