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

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

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.

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...

What a wonderful selection of books, they really do look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted: https://twitter.com/lilypondreads/status/286973483152449536
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.
I would also love any of those books :) they all equally appealing!
DeleteI am a book hoarder. I love to re-read books but every once in a while I let some of them go.
DeleteI also lend my favorites out. I have my own little lending library. :D
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.
ReplyDeletedebby236 at gmail dot com
lol! I had that problem at first. I used to try to hide them. Imagine that!
DeleteNow he knows he needs to overlook them.
Great Giveaway! Most books I read are from the library so once I finish them I have to return them :( My bookshelf is pretty packed so thankfully when I do purchase books its via kindle.
ReplyDeleteThese all look so good! But I think I would really like the first one Christmas Eve At Friday Harbour
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Lisa Kleypas. I think you would too! Good luck Veronica!
DeleteI 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. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm very interested in reading American Vampire. *crosses fingers*

Good luck Lilian!
DeleteI wish I could be more like you. I have trouble getting rid of books. I have no problem lending them but I want them back! I re-read a lot though. :D
+JMJ+
ReplyDeleteI'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. =)
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!
Deletei did answer you too and i visited and commented on your blog
Delete+JMJ+
DeleteI know, Miki, and I appreciated it very much! =)
i've a tendency to keep my book so i can reread them when i want , when i really can't keep one i will try to someone i know who will love it and take care of it. books are treasure for me so i don't like selling them and never throw them away
ReplyDeleteoups i forgot to tell you i shared this on g+ ( and +1 too)
Deletedon't worry if it's not international, this blog hop is never int or nearly ( the stop are so few) but we understand and you were so generous with us a few days ago we can understand don't worry
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.
DeleteAh-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.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to choose American Vampire.
https://twitter.com/quixoticdesigns/status/287228715027533826
I too would probably sacrifice myself for my beloved books.
DeleteYou are not alone Toni!
I hoard my books! If chosen, I'd love to have American Vampire! I also shared by tweeting!

ReplyDeletejosiehink122026(at)gmail(dot)com
I love Lisa Kleypas and I don't have this book so I would definitely want this one.....as for what I do after I am done reading I keep every single one of them. If they are a great read I will share but I always get them back.
ReplyDeletejosiehink122026(at)gmail(dot)com
That sounds like me. I almost always hang on to them. I'm usually stingy that way. lol!
DeleteI would love Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor Sometimes I keep them but also pass them around and share with others or donate them to the library Ours have book sales from time to time.

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!
DeleteJanet Chapman or Jennifer Armintrout's. Both books sound great. I am a fan of both authors.
ReplyDeleteI 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,
Lori

I will tweet the giveaway but for some reason I found 2 of my tweets in my outbox. I don't know why they didn't send :)
Huh, that's peculiar!
DeleteThat's my problem. I really like books. I keep almost all of mine. Every once in awhile I part with a few. :D
the man must marry. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd pick American Vampire.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
I tweeted: https://twitter.com/BrookeBanks10/status/287295320839315457
Different maybe but not weird! That is so sad that you can't re-read your favorites! :( I love to re visit mine.
DeleteI am like that with movies though! My hubbie laughs at me because I can be in the kitchen and hear a few words and I can tell them what movie they are watching if I've seen it before. lol!
I would love American Vampire!! I've heard such good things about this one:)

I share my print books with my mom and my best friend. I also tend to hoard books, too.

As for books I've read, my favorites get a spot in my bookshelf, the rest get packed up into boxes or I'd be living in books :P
The Man Must Marry looks like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteI 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
You let me know if you find someone who can magically add book shelves. I would like them to build me a library. lol!
DeleteI would like Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor by Lisa Kleypas. Thank you for the giveaway.

ReplyDeletetragedy6996(at)hotmail(dot)com
Great Giveaway. I borrow most of my books from the library or buy them on kindle so book shelf space isn't really needed - good thing bc I don't have any left. If I had the money I would have a giant fancy reading room with lots of book shelves!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a room dedicated to books and reading! As it is I have books on shelves in just about every room except for my kitchen and bathroom.
DeleteProbably American Vampire.

ReplyDeleteAfter I read a book, I usually lend it out to some friends of mine who are also readers.s We trade back and forth. I also post books to Paperbackswap.
KellysShining(at)gmail(dot)com
It's wonderful to share the love of reading. Isn't it?
DeleteTough choice...but I think at this moment American Vampire would be the one.
ReplyDeleteIf I do not plan to keep the book forever, I will share with friends or donate to a local library.
I'd love Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor.
ReplyDeleteI tweeted - https://twitter.com/momscholar_tx/status/287935875327860736 - thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI usually keep books after I read them if I think my daughters will like them later in their lives. Otherwise I give them away to friends or the library. Sometimes I sell them on eBay or half.com, but I usually don't have time to try to sell them.
ReplyDeleteMy boys don't read the same types of books as I do so that method won't work for me. Unfortunately, I don't have any daughters. :(
DeleteI would like to win The Man Must Marry.
ReplyDeleteI keep books that I've read. Then one day I'll think of selling or donating them but it takes a while for that to happen.
bituin76 at hotmail dot com
Selling them is an option I never thought of. I don't think I'd be able to part with them any way. I'm too much of a re-reader!
Deletetweet: https://twitter.com/theimaginetree/status/288025539346853888
ReplyDeleteI would pick America Vampire. Vampires are my first supernatural love!
ReplyDeleteThey were first for me too. I still love them but now I'd choose werewolves over vamps on most days.
DeleteAmerican Vampire. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would choose Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor, though it was hard to choose :) American Vampire also looks good. Thanks for your giveaway!

I would choose American Vampire. I also added it to my GoodReads shelf off of this post....so whether I win it here or not it's there on my list to accomplish!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I usually do. Otherwise, if I don't win I often forget about the book that I thought looked good.
DeleteI'm not sure what to pick - maybe Insurgent.

I usually pass on my books to others or donate them to the library.
