Coming Soon: ROMANCE GIVEAWAYS [.com]

[Edit]: Unfortunately, the launch of BookGiveawaysToday (and sister sites like Romance Giveaways) has been postponed indefinitely. Any further information I obtain will be posted here.
Oh yeah! Who doesn't love a good giveaway? I know I love the rush one gets when one sees their name in a giveaway post. I also love the jubiliation one feels as they rip a package out of a scared little postman's hands that contains a new addition to ones library.
I've even won a giveaway or two that contained a new-to-me author's book and soon found a new obsession. Let's just face it: Giveaways ROCK! But obviously you can't win them all, and the more popular sites have more entrants, which means a less likely chance of winning.You leave a comment, wait the week or two for the announcment, and then your heartbreaks as you see that you didn't win.
Wish there was a place that held giveaways daily; Oh wait, (tehehe) there is-or soon will be-:

What’s better than reading romance books? How about reading FREE romance books? Starting in April 2011, you can win 9 different books each day from Romance Giveaways(http://www.romancegiveaways.com/).

There’s no registration or membership required, and you don’t even have to post a comment. All you have to do is read the information about the books and, if you’re interested in winning them, enter your email address. 9 random participants will win a free romance book each day, and possibly more will win if an author is giving away more than one book! Even if you don’t win, you’ll get a chance to find out information about different books in the sub-genre you like—this includes the cover copy of the book and an excerpt to see if you’re interested in reading more. It’s a great chance to win free books, but also to discover new authors.
In addition to winning free books, you’ll also be able to nominate books that sound interesting for that category’s online book club selection the next month. The book that has the most nominations will be chosen. Although there are thousands of romance readers throughout the world, sometimes we don’t really get a chance to discuss books with other readers. Soon you can with the online book clubs at Romance Giveaways.

And that’s just the beginning. Although the online book clubs will be first, Romance Giveaways plans to offer more features for you to interact with other readers and authors in the coming months, so stay tuned.


Perhaps one of the really exciting things (besides having the chance to win free books!) at Romance Giveaways is the Connections page, where you can earn points by participating on the website. When you earn enough points, you become eligible to receive prizes such as gift cards, books, chocolate, and more.


In anticipation of the launching of Romance Giveaways in April 2011, the company is giving away one book each day at their Facebook page. (link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ashley-March/139984972684003#!/pages/Romance-Giveaways/135900646472866). You can also follow them on Twitter (link: http://twitter.com/#!/RomGiveaways). If you’re interested in seeing what other book giveaway sites the parent company of Romance Giveaways has planned for the future, you can visit http://www.bookgiveawaystoday.com/.


For authors interested in promoting with Romance Giveaways, the website says you can ask for more information by emailing: info@bookgiveawaystoday.com.

So, is it April yet???!?!

I guess I'll have to stalk the facebook page and twitter until the site goes up; but this sounds like a super cool site where you can win books AND learn about new/current author's upcoming work.

 Mark your calendars!

A Two-fer !!! Coming Soon (Just Not Soon Enough)

It is, or at least should be, common fact around here, that I am a HUGE Lisa Kleypas fan. And even more so, I am addicted to everything Julia Quinn. Thus, it's only fitting that the most anticipated books of the year (so far), at least for me, are 'Married by Morning' by LK and 'Ten Things I Love About You' by JQ. They both have book trailers out now and both of their books are to be released on May 25th,2010. This post may be a month ahead of schedule, but I couldn't resist ;). No need to worry though, another post for each book is foreseen in the future!!



-I love how classic this trailer is. A lot of LK book trailers (which can be found on you tube), have a classic sense to them. Having read the Hathaway series up to this point, I am very familiar with the hate-loathe relationship between Leo and Ms.Marks. In 'Tempt Me At Twilight', which is his sister Poppy's story,  We get little heighten interactions and strange behaviors between the pair and it is obvious something is up. Even in 'Seduce Me At Sunrise', his sister Winnifred's story;and also the story where Ms.Marks is introduced; we see little interactions that foreshadow something greater.  The ending of 'Tempt me At Twilight' leaves us in Cathrine Marks' room where Leo arrogantly sweeps in, traps her against her dressing table as he braces his arms on either side and says "Cat...We have to talk about what happened"..Period, end, then all you see is back-of the-book cover. If that doesn't send ants of anticipation in your pants, idk what will !!!'Married by Morning' is the final book of the series and thus should be the 'bang' the beloved Hathaways go out with. / an excerpt from the book can be found on LK's website: excerpt




-Another addition to a beloved series. We all fell in love with Sebastian Grey as he brought a levity of humor into 'What Happens in London' as Harry Valentine's best friend. Who can forget the part in that book where he stands on a table in front of a crabby Russian prince and 'preforms' a retelling of the ever present 'Miss Buttersworth and the Bloody Baron'. Well now he has his own story and it appears as if it will be another smash hit by JQ. The trailer is very innovative (as far as trailers that I've seen go). The graphics, the narration; It all speaks to the style of Quinn (as I am so fond of referring to it as). Very well done!! / An excerpt of this book can be found on JQ's website as well: Chapter 1 of 'Ten Things I Love About You'


*Remember, that's MAY 25th, 2010, these amazing books are to be release. Pre-order at BarnesandNoble.com, amazon.com or any other [dot]com you fancy!!!!
