Over at Walking on Sunshine...
Jezebelsk over at Walking on Sunshine has a contest going on that she asked me to spread the word about.
The book is called Leonardo's Swans, and it's written by Karen Essex. It's historical fiction, too. Always a favorite of mine.
Best of all, since this is a book I hadn't heard of yet, she's included a review. Please read it; she sells the book nicely. I'll be adding it to my wishlist.
You've got until June 6 to enter, so go on over and check it out!

Loaded Questions with Kelly Hewitt
This has become one of my favorite sites because Kelly Hewitt gives some of the best interviews I've read in a long time. As someone who's been on both ends of interviews, herself, I really can appreciate these.
However, not only does Kelly give great interviews, right now, she's giving great books.
Emily Griffin's Love the One You're With. And copies of her other two books, as well.
Pretty good, right? Wait. They are autographed. You collectors are in for a great read and then something really special to keep on your shelves.
You can either enter by commenting on the post, or else by signing up for her newsletter. Or both.
Good luck and I hope you'll join me in lurking at Kelly's blog. Like I said, some of the best interviews out there are at Kelly's.

BookRoomReviews!
Another one to add to your reader, folks. And yes, I know fully well how your reader bulges. It probably looks like mine, only without the six feeds of music news that spit out 200 posts a day.
It's BookRoomReviews, and Tracy gives away at least one book a month, sometimes two. Keep an eye here and there for news of the latest, but if you're quick, you can get in on the current one, for Mrs. Perfect and Broken Angel.

I had the pleasure of meeting Toni McGee Causey at the Romantic Times Conference. She's currently celebrating the release of her second book, Bobbie Faye's (Kinda, Sorta, not Exactly) Family Jewels.

Win The Road from La Cueva
I'm giving away the book at my blog, Puss Reboots. The contest ends at 11PM on May 26th.
Today I received a comment from the author and thought I'd share it here.

There's also a discussion on GoodReads.

July FSF
This isn't a book, but a magazine of short stories. You can get a free copy of the July 2008 issue if you're willing to write a blog review of the issue. I'm already a subscriber and I'll be reviewing the stories in the issue as I read them but I'd love to see what others think of the book.
Here are the details for getting your copy:
We’re going to do a promotional giveaway with this issue. There’s a box of copies of this issue on its way to me and I’d like to give away the copies people who will blog about the issue. So here’s the deal:
- Go to our "Contact Us" page:
- Tell us where to mail your copy of the issue.
- Receive the issue and blog about it. Naturally, we prefer if you read the issue before blogging about it, but I’m just insisting that you blog about it. (The first time we tried this promotion, people mistakenly thought they should blog about the magazine before receiving the issue. No. Get the issue first, then blog about it.)
- Send us a link to your blog.
That’s all there is to it. I’ll post here when we run out of the giveaway copies.
Spread the word!
I love this magazine. The stories are a nice mix of science fiction, fantasy and paranormal. They have their own blog and a forum. Go get yourself a copy!
Update: May 13
Apparently all the free July copies have been claimed. Here's the lastest from the blog:
All those copies have gone out to bloggers, so please don’t email us looking for one of the free issues.I'm looking forward to seeing what the various bloggers make of the issue.
