October Favorite E-Book Contest
This month,
I’m giving away my favorite vampire romance of all time,
yes, of all time.
I don’t like first person.
I’m not a big paranormal fan (though I love J.K. Coi’s books).
I was forced to read this book.
Boy, am I glad I was.
This is some funny, funny stuff,
lemonade out the nose funny.
By
Mary Hughes
One lucky winner will win a E-Book copy (in PDF)!
(Please note: As always,
if you already have this great romance,
mention it in the comments
and
I’ll swap it with another)
To enter (ONCE please) to win a copy,
leave a comment at the bottom of this page
telling me the name of a romance reading buddy with a birthday in October
One correct answer is here but really, there are no wrong answers.
I’ll draw a name at the end of the month.
I’ll also add your email to my notification list
for the next contest.
I’ll ONLY be contacting you about contests

Cecile is celebrating in October
The book sounds fun

Hi Kimber,
If I, due to a miracle, should happen to win, would it be possible to send me a regular autographed book through the mail? I can’t sit at the computer long enough to read a book due to back problems. By the way, My grandson Shawn’s birthday is in October also.
If I win, just send me an email and I’ll send my address. Thanks.
Big Hugs to you,
Lorraine

Hi Lorraine!
Unfortunately I don’t give out print books as prizes
(allergic to the post office)
but I DO know that Cecile is giving away
a bazillion print books this month on her site
(maybe a few less than a bazillion - grinning).

If you want to stock up your TBR pile
or you’re looking for holiday presents,
you may wish to head over to her site!

I have friends that like to read however I do not know their birthdays. I hope this is not a problem.
on October 20th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I don’t have anyone that is a reader with a birthday in October. My whole family reads. I take books that I’ve read to my parents when their done they yell for more. LOL I can’t give any to my older sister because her puppy likes to chew on anything it can get a hold of. She has to buy me a new book to replace the one the puppy just chewed up. LOL Thanks for the chance to win.
on October 20th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
My son Tim is my reading buddy-and his BD is October 4th. We have book discussions all the time, and although he doesn’t read romance, he does read science fiction and fantasy and there are some books we pass back and forth.
on October 20th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Well it is Ceciles birthday and my friend Tina’s birthday is October 26th!!!

My Grandma who’s in her 90’s its her b-day this week and she’s my reading buddy. In fact she gave me my 1st romance book over 30 years ago, and I’ve been hooked every since. When I visit her I try to read some to her but now with the Alzheimer’s so bad she doesn’t remember any of it. But for me she’ll always be my reading buddy and one of the 2 people who hooked me on books for life

My reading buddy with a birthday in October is my friend Colleen. We live far away from each other now but still compare books when we get the chance to talk on the phone. THanks for the opportunity to win such a great sounding book…I have to admit…vampire books with a good layer of comedy are one of my vices!!
on October 20th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
It is Cecile’s. Like you I am not a fan of vampire books but would love to see one that is different.
