Winners, Winners, and more Winners!

Okay so I have a lot of winners to announce! I always have the Rafflecopter display the winner as soon as they have responded to the email. Sometimes I don't get around to "formally" announcing it. With so many giveaways going on right now, I wanted to display the winners that have indeed been confirmed.

I'm going to start with My Christmas Wishes giveaway which was held at the beginning of Dec.

The winner was Ellz Readz! She choose Beautiful Redemption.

Mid-Winter's Eve Giveaway~ Dec. 21st - 27th.

The winner was Maija S. who chose Paper Towns by John Green.

Blogoversary giveaway Day One~ 5 winners got a Kindle book.

Sarah H. chose and received The Truth About Faking It.

Carmen B. was a little more complicated. :(  She choose Running Wide Open by Lisa Nowak.

I couldn't purchase it for her because it is free right now but she is not in the US and it was not free in her country. Unfortunately she had to choose another book. She ended up choosing My Favorite Mistake.
She was very understanding but I still feel terrible about it. I decided this morning to send her a giftcard so that she could purchase the book for herself! It was a duh why didn't I think of this sooner moment. lol!

Jen W. chose My Favorite Mistake.

Elizabeth chose Broken by C.K. Bryant.

Cathy H. responded back to me but still has not decided on which book she wants. So she hasn't gotten her prize yet. (through no fault of my own!)

Blogoversary giveaway Day Two ~ a book from one of my favorite steamy authors.  

The winner was Kah C. and she chose Amaury's Hellion by Tina Folsom. This is book two in The Scanguard vampire series.

Blogoversary giveaway Day Three ~ a book from one of my favorite authors.

Miki was the winner and she chose Fated by Rebecca Zanetti.

Blogoversary giveaway Day Four~ The prize was supposed to be Elixir by JLA. I felt bad though because my question in the Rafflecopter confused people so I gave the winners their choice of Elixir or Daimon paperback or an ebook of Half-Blood or one of the Lux books. The prices were comparable.

Caroline M. chose the paperback of Daimon.

Linda H. chose the paperback of Daimon as well.

Ashfa chose the Kindle book of Half-Blood.

Blogoversary Day Five ~ Amazon giftcard or book from TBD?

Cordelia was the winner and she chose and received the giftcard.

I'm still in the process of contacting the winners for Day Six, Seven, and Eight.


Here is a question for you. In your awesome opinion, what is the best prize that I could offer in a giveaway. Please keep in mind that I am a stay at home mother and most of my giveaways (other than the tour wide giveaways) are self sponsored. In other words I pay for the prizes. I don't think I'll be offering a Kindle or Nook, although I would love too!  


I'd love to know what you're thinking. Please leave a comment!

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.
