What started out as a place to share my thoughts on books with an emphasis on romance novels has expanded and transformed into pretty much a personal blog. I still post regularly about bookish things, but also about fitness, food, family and other assorted adventures. All are topics I'm passionate about and enjoy sharing with my readers here on the happily ever after... I hope you all enjoy the mix, too. :)
To celebrate this 500th post milestone and the upcoming holiday season and to thank all of you who visit the happily ever after... and keep me company on this blogging adventure, I'm giving away a holiday ebook prize to one lucky winner. Below is a list of holiday novellas, most of which are new releases, from which one lucky reader will win up to three stories of their choice.
I'm afraid I don't know a lot about the restrictions of purchasing ebooks for recipients overseas, but I will look into that between now and the closing of the entries and see what I can do. In the meantime, assume that you will at least need to have one of the following to qualify for the prize: A kindle or kindle app on your reading device OR an iPod touch, iPad, or iPhone with either iBooks or the Kindle app installed, depending on the book below.
Winner will choose from the following list of fantastic holiday ebooks:
Click on titles to see the book on goodreads.
Newly Fallen by Megan Hart [kindle only]
A steamy contemporary Hanukkah romance!
A Taste of Midnight by Lara Adrian [iBooks or kindle]
A Midnight Breed novella, book #9.5
Paranormal romance, not so Christmas-y
Once Upon a Winter's Eve by Tessa Dare [iBooks or kindle]
A Spindle Cove novella, book #1.5
Historical romance.
Or perhaps one or more of the following contemporary romance novellas from the Carina Press holiday anthology, Holiday Kisses:
Mistletoe and Margaritas by Shannon Stacey [iBooks or kindle]
It's Not Christmas Without You by HelenKay Dimon [iBooks or kindle]
A Rare Gift by Jaci Burton [iBooks or kindle]
This Time Next Year by Alison Kent [iBooks or kindle]
Romance not your thing? That's okay! We can still be friends and you can choose this "regular" Christmas book: ;)
The Christmas Shoes by Donna VanLiere [kindle only]
To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment letting me know which THREE holiday novellas you would like to read.

Awww! I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your blog even though you tend to make me feel guilty for sitting around reading or hungry for whatever you're cooking...
I loved the novellas in Holiday Kisses!! Your winner will love any of those. But if I win I'd chose the Christmas shoes. You see, I'm reviewing the rest of the series this week and I have all of them except the first two.
This is a terrific giveaway!
By the way... I just finished Origin... Where are you?
Well congrats on 500! That's a wonderful level of consistency I've never managed to achieve. Meanwhile, I've already purchased the ones I want to read, so please don't enter me in your giveaway. I just wanted to say congratulations. I hope there are at least 500 more posts in your future :-)
