Thank you to I Am A Reader, Not A Writer for hosting this hop. :D

This giveaway will run from now through January 10th.

I apologize to my International followers but this giveaway is for US and Canada only (due to shipping prices) because the books are coming from my shelf and not The Book Depository.

There are still lots of other giveaways going on that are International! See the top of the page for my other giveaways!

You must be a follower and be 13 or older to be elligible to win, as well as being from the US or Canada.

I will email the winner and they will have 48 hours to respond.

The prize will be: the winner's choice of book from the following books off of my shelf.



Book Description:

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas’s new series begins during the most magical time of year.

ONE LITTLE GIRL NEEDS A FAMILY

One rain-slicked night, six-year-old Holly lost the only parent she knew, her beloved mother Victoria. And since that night, she has never again spoken a word.

ONE SINGLE MAN NEEDS A WIFE

The last thing Mark Nolan needs is a six-year-old girl in his life. But he soon realizes that he will do everything he can to make her life whole again. His sister’s will gives him the instructions: There’s no other choice but you. Just start by loving her. The rest will follow.

SOMETIMES, IT TAKES A LITTLE MAGIC…

Maggie Collins doesn’t dare believe in love again, after losing her husband of one year. But she does believe in the magic of imagination. As the owner of a toy shop, she lives what she loves. And when she meets Holly Nolan, she sees a little girl in desperate need of a little magic.

…TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE

Three lonely people. Three lives at the crossroads. Three people who are about to discover that Christmas is the time of year when anything is possible, and when wishes have a way of finding the path home.  

You can add it to your Goodreads  shelf.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

Book Description:    

Trying to escape marriage, they are snared by love.   

When Sam Sinclair's self-made millionaire grandfather sends Willa Kent, a woman none of the three Sinclair brothers have even heard of, as his proxy to an ultra-important meeting of the Sinclair shipping company, most people would think the old man had lost his marbles. But Sam knows his grandfather too well. For some reason, the wily old man has decided that one of his three grandsons should marry Willa, and this is his way of trying to force the issue....

So Willa and Sam team up on what seems like a wild-goose chase to find some loophole in Grandfather Sinclair's crazy notion. But as Sam crews Willa's yacht en route to Maine, he finds to his surprise that his grandfather's offbeat scheme is growing more attractive by the moment. Willa is smart, beautiful...and has a wild streak that sends them soaring together above the clouds.

But Willa isn't about to let Sam fly away with her heart until she knows his true motives. If the man wants to marry for money, then the woman in her says that first he must fall in love.

You can add it to your Goodreads shelf.

Book Description:

Buried in the Heartland is a town that no one enters or leaves. Graf McDonald somehow becomes its first visitor in more than five years...and he was only looking for a good party. Unfortunately, Penance, Ohio, is not that place. And after having been isolated for so long, they do not like strangers at all.Jessa's the only one to even remotely trust him, and she's desperate for the kind of protection that only a vampire like Graf can provide. Supplies are low, the locals are ornery for a sacrifice and there's a monster more powerful than Graf lurking in the woods. New men are hard to come by in this lonesome town, and this handsome stranger might be Jessa's only hope for salvation.

Even if she has to die first...

    I usually put my books neatly back on the shelf after I read them, but I am hoping to give some away eventually :) I also offer them up to friends.

  2. All of those books look yummy. I think American Vampire would be my freest choice. I save all my books until my husband cannot take it any more.

  5. I am usually in a constant need of bookshelf space so I don't keep many books after I've read it unless I plan to reread it in the near future, or if its a classic. I usually lend out my books or donate them to the library...or give them away. =)

    I'm very interested in reading American Vampire. *crosses fingers*

    I'm a huge bibliomaniac as well as bibliophile, so I try my hardest to keep all my books. There are currently three big bookshelves full to overflowing in my home, and I'm already planning to buy two (or three?!) more, just to get organised again! I really like thinking that I've had the same copies of old favourites for years--that I'm in a position to pass them on to my children! =)

    Since I'm international, I'm not joining the giveaway and counting this as a comment incentive entry. But I'd also like to say that it has been quite fun answering your comments, so far! And it's great that you reply to people. I'm always a bit disappointed when I visit a new blog that is so welcoming when it comes to comments and so stingy when acknowledging them, but that hasn't been my experience here. =)

    1. I won't promise to always answer or even answer on the same day. Life sometimes gets in the way of my plans. For example, today, Jan. 4th, is my oldest son's Birthday. I will be in and out today and this evening we are taking him to dinner so I won't be here then either. But I do try my best to answer back and usually as soon as I see the person's comment!

    2. Thank you for being so understanding Miki. :D I try to make almost all of my giveaways International. If Kathy the host of the hop, would let me I'd offer a giftcard should the winner be International but she says that defeats the purpose and I understand her point.

  8. Ah-hem. I, uh, hoard books that I like so I can re-read them. (One day, I'm liable to die in a fire because I tried to save all my books.) If I don't like a book, I either sell it, gift it, or see what I can get for it at HPB.

    I'd have to choose American Vampire.

    1. I am guilty of never going to the library! I like them, when I was in school and even when my kids were in Elementary school, I helped at the school libraries. I am impatient though and I don't like to wait to read a book and I get frustrated when I can't find what I'm looking for, not to mention the parking at the local library is horrible. I just buy them and miss all of the hassle. It would be better for my pocketbook if I went to the library though!

  13. Janet Chapman or Jennifer Armintrout's. Both books sound great. I am a fan of both authors.
    I keep books if I really like them. My hubby can attest to this and we have them like everywhere I can squeeze another bookshelf in. I gift a lot of books too.
    Thanks,

  14. I'd pick American Vampire.

    I can't reread books, no matter how long it's been since first reading, because I remember the story, and dialogue in such detail that I become bored.

    I wish I could remember it so well just off hand but that recall only happens when I start reading the book again. So I just horde every book of mine and can't bear to part with them. I even get uncomfortable with loaning them out.

    I'm so weird.

  21. The Man Must Marry looks like a fun read!

    I mostly buy eBooks now, so not much happens with those after I finish them. But paperbacks will either get passed around the extended family, or some keepers get stored in my book boxes, waiting for library shelves to magically appear in my house! lol
