We are in the holiday spirit at PBR and want you to be as well. What better way to do that than a holiday giveaway?
Yeah, we thought so.
The rules are easy. They go like this...
1. Leave a comment here naming your favorite book of 2007 (doesn't have to be a romance novel) AND telling us what book you are most eager to read in 2008 (romance or not).
AND THEN
2. Send us an email at pbr@paperbackreader.net with the answers to these holiday-themed romance novel questions:
a. Which bestselling author recently donated all of her proceeds - royalties, advances and all future earnings - from her holiday novel to MassEquality? Name the author and the book.
b. Which bestselling author, previously a category romance favorite and now a single title bestseller, wrote a Christmas story several years ago that features a bluebird statute? Name the author and the title of the book. Note: The book was released as a standalone title and as part of an omnibus holiday collection.
What do you get for all of your hard work? A big box of books. We'll pick two winners on Christmas Eve. Those folks will each get a pile of romance novels on us. Good luck and Happy Holidays!!

I just sent you my email entry :)
My favorite book of 2007 was Bloodfever by Karen Marie Moning. It was incredible. In 2008, I'm literally counting down the days until the follow-up in the series comes, FaeFever. And, if I may, I'd like to add another book that I'm dying to read: Unlawful Contact by Pamela Clare, out in April. It's going to be a great year for reading!
Thanks for posting such a great contest!

Hello Everyone,
Great questions :) and great prize.
I have so many favorite books that I have read in 2007. There is one though that I really enjoyed the most and can't wait to read more books by this author. Divorced, Desperate and Delicious By: Christie Craig This is a must READ. I loved this book. This was a real page turner and had me hooked from page one.
I am most eager to read Lady & the Vamp By: Michelle Rowen for 2008.
Hugssss

Its a joy to stop by here during the holidays! I love reading so much more now and looking forward to those coming in 2008!
Its hard to pick ust one favorite and I usually go with my recently read that was a favorite so that would be CAINE'S RECOKENING by Sarah McCarthy. I'm looking forwrd to the next one of hers, but not sure when that is in the Hell's Eight series. But too looking forward to To Pleasure a Lady: A Novel by Nicole Jordan and then other two in the trilogy of hers that will be out back to back.
