Tempting Contest
I haven't been to a used bookstore since my trip in December, which resulted in my car looking like this:
Wrecked Car [I changed the picture to a link--it's just too painful to see this photo on the main page.]
Today at lunch, I decided I wanted to make a bookstore stop. While I was looking at the Harlequin Temptations, I saw a number of Temptations I've enjoyed, and thought, "These are great books--I hope someone tries them and likes them."
And that's when I had an idea. I bought the books, and I'm going to have a contest each week in February. To enter, just go through my blog, find an entry that interests you, and add a comment. That will enter you into the contest. Are you tempted? I hope so!
I'm adding some caveats. While you can comment on as many posts as you like, you are limited to one entry in the contest. I reserve the right to disregard irrelevant comments. I also reserve the right to reevaluate at the end of each contest.
Comments made through Sunday, February 6, 2005 will be entered in the first contest. I will draw and announce a winner on Monday, February 7, 2005. That winner can choose a book from the four listed below:
Jacquie D'Alessandro: We've Got Tonight
Vicki Lewis Thompson: Old Enough to Know Better
Vicki Lewis Thompson: Pure Temptation
Nancy Warren: Underneath It All
Note to non-US readers: Leave a comment to this message listing your country. I will weigh a package and get back to you about whether I can mail it for a reasonable amount.
Go forth and comment!

P.S. As a side note, I'm pleased to say that I made the bookstore trip without injury to myself or my car. I should say my rental car. I'm still in the rental; my car is taking an incredibly long time to repair. I was supposed to get it last week, then this week, now it's looking like maybe next week . . .

I love the idea of your contest - rock on! I must say...I love Thompson's "Nerd" series, but I've never read any of her other work. Good stuff, I bet! :-) Thanks, and have a great day! :-)
I highly endorse THE NIGHTS BEFORE CHRISTMAS by Thompson, and HT title from 2001. Hot love scenes, and a blue collar hero. What more could a girl want?
Oh, I love Nights before Christmas. I checked it out of the library to read it, but I haven't been able to find a copy at a used bookstore. I may try Half.com eventually, but I hate to spend $2.75 (or whatever it is these days) in shipping if I can avoid it. I'll keep looking for now.

I am new to leaving comments (or reading blogs, for that matter), but your contest tempted me! :) I am enjoying your blog and love reading almost any type of romance. I also read your Romancing the Blog column and really enjoyed it--as well as the comments.
Jan,
Thanks so much for your kind words and for visiting my blog. I hope you'll return!
:)
