Gods Behaving Badly
I have yet to hear one negative thing about Marie Phillips' Gods Behaving Badly. Anna, at Diary of an Eccentric, wants to share this book's magic.
She's got five copies, thanks to the publisher -- which means US and Canada only, and no PO Boxes. YOU have until January 9.
Get busy. Here's the link.

Charity for Darfur!
Check out this e-mail:
Heck, I just posted at my main blog about how easy it is to make a difference. The timing here couldn't be better.
I hope you'll think about chipping in.
Wondering if you have a way to share with your Book Blog a Holiday campaign going on to raise funds for books for Darfur refugees? The campaign is -- give $1 for each book received as a holiday gift -- and the website is: Bookwish. Would certainly appreciate your helping to spread the word. We're 100% volunteer staffed; 100% of funds raised by this campaign for direct book related aid for Darfur refugees. Thanks so much. Happy Holidays.

Brenda Janowitz two-fer
S. Krishna's got the goods, and are they good!
She's been given the chance -- by author Brenda Janowitz herself -- to give away a nice little package featuring Ms. Janowitz's books, Scot on the Rocks and Jack with a Twist.
You'll have to work a little bit for your entries, but these books sound worth it (S. provides a link to her reviews. Use those links, gang!).
You have until January 4, but get busy now while the kids are off school and you need something to distract yourself before you get mad about the crayon on the walls... yes, you'd thought your teenagers knew better...

Bookshelf Cleaning!
Alyce at At Home with Books is having a bookshelf cleaning event! I guess she's got to make room for all the good stuff that stuffed her stocking, which is what makes any gift-giving holiday special. Books as gifts. Oh, the mere thought makes me purr...
Anyway, Alyce is giving away four books, Dark Pursuit by Brandilyn Collins, Queen of Oblivion by Giles Carwyn & Todd Fahnestock, Where Am I Wearing? by Kelsey Timmerman, Dating da Vinci by Malena Lott.
Tell her which one you want, and do a variety of other things to earn up to five entries.
This is a US-Canada only contest. Sorry, gang. But I hear there will be more of these gives in the future... maybe if you international people ask real nice? (Well, it'll be up to Alyce. Keep me out of it!)
You have until January 11.

Cruel Summer

The second book looking for a new home and reader is Cruel Summer, written by Alyson Noel.
You have until January 30, 9PM ET. If you're not sure how Eastern lines up to your time zone, enter sooner rather than later.

The Reincarnationist
Lenore, of Presenting Lenore fame, was kind enough to drop us an e-mail on Saturday (when we were busy recovering from illnesses and nights out, among other things). It seems she's got quite the doozy of a pre-Christmas contest going on.
MJ Rose is visiting, and we all know MJ Rose doesn't do things small. That's part of her amazing success. Thus, Lenore says (in her own words):
So who can get in on this? ANYONE.
You see, the grand prize is restricted to the US and Canada residents only.
BUT the paperback copies can wander around the globe. It'd be better if they come directly to you, so be sure to enter -- and to spread the word.
Use this link. Lots of ways to enter, all of them good. You have until 27 December.

Crystal and Lady Vampire's Contest
I got an e-mail from Crystal, alerting me to a cool joint contest she's running with the Lady Vampire. They are offering the following:
Lady V’s Goodies:
PRINT-"I'm Dreaming of some White Chocolate" by Rhea
PRINT-"The Knight Before Christmas" by Jackie Ivie
PRINT-"If Only in My Dreams" by Wendy Markham
Crystal’s Goodies: PDFs
Bad Boy Cowboy by Carol Lynne
Fantasy Man by Summer Jordan
Hunting Diablo by Ellie Tremayne
Secret Santa by Jamie Hill
Vows of a Vampire by Ann Cory
So. Some print, some .pdfs in there. Crystal says she's bought them specifically for this contest, so there are no sharing issues (you know you're not supposed to share e-books, right? That it's considered piracy and makes Susan jump up and down and yelp, "Napster Bad" like some Camp Chaos cartoon, right?)
You have until 21 December. Don't delay!
Four ways to enter. Check 'em out via this link.

This Week at Stone Soup...
Hey, congratulations to my friend JM, who won Katrina's Mystery Giveaway last week. (I have the book she won on Mt. TBR; JM, if you want to read it together, holler. That'd be fun.)
To continue the fun, this week, Katrina took a picture of her bookcase. You are supposed to take a look at it (yes, there's a way to make it legible) and tell Katrina what book you'd like. She'll draw until she gets two requests for the same book.
This means it's entirely possible that she'll give away the entire bookcase's contents.
Have fun!

Tomato Girl
Dar at Peeking Between the Pages is ready to share a gently-read (and signed) copy of Tomato Girl, written by Jayne Pupek. It's the hardcover Dar herself read (she swears she reads like me: so gently you don't realize someone was there first. When someone makes that claim, you should believe them. It's our way of helping a book live longer and spread more joy.)
This is an international contest! You have until Dar draws the winner on Christmas Eve. So while you won't get the book in time for Christmas, books make excellent presents ANY time of the year.

Guest Blogger: Susan Helene Gottfried
Yep, boys and girls... your faithful hostess here is starting to make some rounds, herself.
Come on over to Erotic Muses today and meet the indomitable Trevor Wolff.
(for those of you who I've spoken to already, or who want to be spoken to, I'm still working out the finances of getting reviewer copies for you all. Unfortunately, I don't get any freebies or ARCs to share!)
(and for those of you worried about the name of the blog, don't be. The Erotic Muses are some very good erotic writers, but I'm not one of them, and my post reflects that. Stop in and say hi!)

Simon the Coldheart
In my neverending quest to eliminate all hobbies from my life and bring you books instead, I found a new-to-me site called Passages to the Past. Its author has fallen in love with landmark author Georgette Heyer, and so is giving away a copy of Simon the Coldheart.
This is an international contest! (I'm sure they'll be thrilled with me for upping their chances of sending this book overseas, but, dude, it's Georgette Heyer! If you like romance and you haven't read Heyer, shame on you!)

Two Reasons, two books
Popin has emerged from her lair. It was her 200th post that brought her out -- 200 posts is quite a feat, as most of you know.
AND with Eid set to begin soon (Hey, Popin, what's the date of its start?), it seemed like a good time to celebrate.
You can win a copy of either The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd or The Rest Falls Away, by Colleen Gleason.
I've read both books. You can't go wrong. However, I'm a total Colleen Gleason fan, so if I can influence you one way or the other... (and don't worry. I have two autographed copies of the Gleason book in question here!)
This is an international contest, although Popin's going to use the cheapest shipping available. Cheap shipping = more books to give away.
Use this link before December 19.

Flirting with Forty
Luanne at A Bookworm's World is one busy camper. I posted a give for her yesterday, and here's one for her today!
Today it's a copy of Flirting with Forty. (Man, whatever happened to "I hope I die before I get old?") Jane Porter wrote this take on a scary age.
Luanne has one of three copies to be sent directly from the publisher (so... US/Canada only and no PO Boxes). There are a few ways to enter, so check 'em out. Is this the first time the Follower option has been invoked? Pretty slick thinking...

I Like You
There's nothing like waking up to face a crisis that began the night before to find e-mail in your box from a book blogger you particularly like that says, "I like you!"
Okay, so it's a book title and she's buttering me up so I'll post about her contest, but still. It's good to hear.
Luanne at a Bookworm's World has 3 copies of Amy Sedaris' new book, I Like You, to share with friends in the US and Canada, but who don't have a PO Box like I do. Let me know how the book is when you read it, okay?
You have until December 16. Use this link.

Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit has a great Q&A with Pemberley author Abigail Reynolds (also a proper name, huh?) -- and a contest for a copy of the book (US and Canada only, PO Boxes are welcome!) at the end. The interview is worth reading, and Serena's nice enough, as always, to provide us with a link to her review of the book. Gotta love Serena.
At least until you see how evil she is in her contest rules... check 'em out. No, you don't have to eat disgusting food or anything. Just mind where you comment, that's all...

Get Positively Beautiful
Now, Booking Mama knows a thing or two about being positively beautiful. When it comes to books, well, heck. All you guys are positively beautiful.
And Booking Mama's got a gift to share. It's a copy of Get Positively Beautiful, written by Carmindy from TLC's What Not to Wear (that's a TV show, if any of you don't get the TLC channel, and yes, calling it a channel is redundant. Sorry.).
There are actually up to five copies to share with you guys -- one for every fifteen entries. Even though this is a US/Canada only/no PO Box contest, surely we can get enough entries to have all five go to good homes, especially once you read the review. How can you NOT like a book that is based on the premise of looking good starts with feeling good?

S. Krishna has an ARC copy of The Pre-Nup, written by Beth Kendrick. But to enter yourself in a drawing for it, she'd like you to share some thoughts about pre-nups. Nothing in too much detail. Her idea is to get you thinking. In my book, thinking is a good thing.

Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual
I posted about this yesterday, and I'm glad to see more copies becoming available. It's the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, written by the makeup guru herself. If you want to look great, this is the book for you. (Not that you don't look great already, but my grandmother was right when she'd tell me I'd look finished with a touch of lipstick.)
Booking Mama's got the goods. Not the makeup; that's on you. She's got the books to guide you through the conflicting information that we often get when it comes to makeup.
There are up to five copies; one for each fifteen comments/entries. What are you waiting for? Make my grandmother proud!

Got Bookmarks?
What do YOU use for a bookmark? Do you use promotional bookmarks from authors? Do you use whatever's handy? (We all know you do NOT dog-ear a book. Right???)
Or do you like nice bookmarks, the kind that encourage conversation from the book lover beside you?
If you're in that latter category, our new friends at Thursday's Thoughts, have a bookmark for you. But it's not ANY bookmark. Oh, no. It's a BookCharmer. And yes, there are links so you can see what the fuss is about.
This contest is tied in with a weekly meme. Check it out; it can be a lot of fun to join in with. (I know, I know. There's already Thursday Thirteen and Booking Through Thursday on that particular day. Who said there wasn't room for one more? You can do a whole week's worth of posts over 24 hours! Better yet, pick and choose. Why be predictable?)

Public Service Announcement:
Susan here. I'm sad.
I've known Dewey since around the time she started blogging. I don't remember how we met or what brought us together, but what a great woman. It was almost sad to see her blog grow in popularity because she had less time to hang around the Meet and Greet with me. I liked having her there. She had a level-headedness that I wished for. And her knowledge of books...
Like you guys, I'm in mourning (although my shock's not quite so bad; I'd known she had health issues, although never what they were nor quite how bad). We've lost a good person, a true champion of the written word.
May we all do our best to continue the great literary deeds she taught us about. And may we even surpass them. And the community she brought together. Oh, what a tragedy to lose that. We can't let that happen. We just can't.
Rest easy, Dewey. I know you're watching us. I hope you approve.
I've known Dewey since around the time she started blogging. I don't remember how we met or what brought us together, but what a great woman. It was almost sad to see her blog grow in popularity because she had less time to hang around the Meet and Greet with me. I liked having her there. She had a level-headedness that I wished for. And her knowledge of books...
Like you guys, I'm in mourning (although my shock's not quite so bad; I'd known she had health issues, although never what they were nor quite how bad). We've lost a good person, a true champion of the written word.

Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual
Ahh, so this explains why I saw Bobbi Brown on the Today Show while at The Club this morning. She has a book out!
If you don't know who Bobbi Brown is, you don't know makeup. We're talking one of THE experts here, folks. Not to mention one of the top-of-the-line makeup companies.
BermudaOnion's been given the green light to give three copies of this awesome book away. It's a publisher-sponsored give, so that means US and Canada only, and no PO Boxes.
You have until December 10 to enter, but why wait? Beauty is only skin deep, remember. It's what's inside that counts.
But having it outside sure makes me feel good.

Off the Menu
Anna truly IS eccentric.
Yep, I'm talking about our bud, Anna from Diary of an Eccentric, who just now e-mailed me and said, "I can't believe I forgot to e-mail you about this contest!"
Me, either, Anna. I also can't believe I didn't catch it in my reader.
Why should YOU care? Well, because Anna's cool. Because it shows you how vital the e-mails you send us really are.
And because you only have two days left to enter Anna's contest for Christine Son's Off the Menu.
And because you don't want to miss the cool guest post by Ms. Son.
Better get moving. Oh, and don't forget to send e-mail to your favorite book hook-up place...

Author Joshua Henkin wants you to have a Matrimonial holiday. Or maybe to appreciate your spouse a bit more; you'd have to ask him.

Janel's Jumble, with a review (and links to other reviews, too)
Up for Grabs has two autographed copies.
Giving Reading a Chance has a copy and all sorts of great links -- and has embedded a video of Mr. Henkin. Check it out!
Tanabata, a longtime reader and new contributor, also has some Matrimony love. While the contest is closed, you can check out links to other reviews. This is always a great way to check out a new blog and potential friend...
Whew. Thanks to Josh Henkin for sending us all these links. More will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
