Sway
Think of all the beautiful things you can sway to: the natural rhythm all us moms get when we hold a newborn. Music. Our loved one's arms.
And a good book. Like Sway, written by Zachary Lazar.
Carol and her Notebook have five copies, compliments of the publisher to share with our friends in the US and Canada, but no PO Boxes, please. (That means no one with a PO Box address, not that Carol won't share these books with a postal box. Last I checked -- about an hour ago -- boxes can't read. At least, mine can't. Can yours?)
I'd love to read this, myself, with its rock and roll theme. Alas, I've got that PO Box problem.
Why don't you enter and tell me how it is? Maybe I'll actually *gasp* BUY it!
You have until March 6 to get your fun on and enter you instead of me. Use this link to do that.

I don't know if you saw the review of Michelle Moran's The Heretic Queen over at Diary of an Eccentric yesterday. (what? You didn't? Why not?)

Cleaning off the Shelves!
My good friend Nimrodiel is cleaning off her shelves to make room for my books.
What? I said NEW books, darn it! (besides, I currently only have one book out. Why? Cause you guys keep me busy here!)
She's got five books for you to choose from. To enter, all you need to do is tell her which you'd like and be sure to leave some contact information. (Saying, "Susan knows how to find me" does NOT count as contact information. Not unless you buy three copies of my book!)
Here are the books:
1. Inward to the Bones: Georgia O'Keefe's Journey with Emily Carr by Kate Braid
2. Near Death in the Arctic by Cecil Kuhne
3. Rusty Son of Tall Elk by Charles H. Bertram
4. The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke
5. The Courtier's Secret By Donna Russo Morin
Some are ARC copies, some aren't. Some are better read than others -- that's what happens when you're part of a community that shares books. But all are perfectly functional books. All the words are there, I promise. So are labels from BookCrossing, a favorite pasttime of mine. There's no obligation to join me in this fun, but the option's there if you'd like to exercise it.
You have until February 26, and Nim provides links to her reviews if you need to see what the book is about.
Happy shopping!

Clearing the Shelves
Now Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit has the cleaning bug. Do you guys think it's spring or something? (it's 65 degrees as I type this. That's warm for West of Mars in February. VERY warm.) She's citing Valentine's Day as the reason; she's sharing some book love.
I like that.
Serena's got some fun books that ought to be in high demand. Ready for her list?
1. Plum Lucky by Janet Evanovich
2. The Memorist by M.J. Rose
3. The Sinner's Guide to Confession by Phyllis Schieber. This one is gently used.
4. 2 Copies of Plum Lovin' by Janet Evanovich.
There are links to her reviews of everything but Plum Lovin, which will be up shortly. And there are multiple and easy ways to win, including telling her where you saw this contest. Go on and drop my name. I like seeing it in print.
You have until ... there's nothing listed! So act fast!

Winner's Choice!
Melissa over at Shhh I'm Reading needs to clear off some shelf space (and given that she's recently read the latest Linda Fairstein book, I'm not surprised!).
So.
Check out her list. (Waah, she's not keeping the Fairstein. Although since I don't have a copy yet, I ought to shut up and enter!)
--The Mighty Queens of Freeville by Amy Dickinson
--Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford
--The Help by Kathryn Stockett
--Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell
--One More Year by Sana Krasikov

You have until February 22, so get busy! (And hands off that Fairstein!)

Fade
Melissa Walker's got another one this week, as part of her ongoing Win It Wednesday fun.
This week, it's Fade, written by Lisa McMann. Please note, this is an ARC copy!
To win, you've got to tell Melissa what your favorite love song of THIS moment is. Whatever moment in which you sit down to spill it, that's your favorite. There are no wrong answers. (although For Whom the Bell Tolls might be a bit suspect, as it's about war and dying and that's not really love, although the images in the song are lovely. As lovely as songs about war and dying can be, anyway.)
Isn't Susan fun on cold medicine?

Cassandra and Jane -- with a Pride and Prejudice Bonus!
Dar at Peeking Between the Pages is facing more snow today. Can she send some to those poor people in Australia, do you think? I'm sure they'd appreciate the help with those wildfires.
But we're not here to talk fire. We're here to talk books, and Dar has her gently-used copy of Cassandra and Jane to give you. Written by Jill Pitkeathley, this book was just featured on the noontime book chats.
If you'd like Dar will throw in her used copy of Pride and Prejudice, too. Or she'll donate it to the library (but not to me even though I've never read it. If you haven't heard, I have TOO MANY books. Yes, it's possible. Come on over and see for yourself!)
Entering is easy-peasy and open to everyone around the world. You have until Wednesday, February 18.

The Laws of Harmony
Julie, our favorite Booking Mama, is the first person I've seen with copies -- five, of course -- of Judith Ryan Hendricks' new novel, The Laws of Harmony.
I've e-mailed a few times with Ms. Hendricks. She's quite lovely. I hope to see her name here more, especially for interviews and guest blogs -- yes, that's a hint!
So. Stop on by Booking Mama's cool blog and see what it's all about. Julie wrote a great review; how can you resist the book after words like these? (and then there's the book trailer and an interview, too. Talk about thorough!)
Lots of ways to enter. Check 'em out before February 20.

PS -- since this is coming from a different publisher than usual, this is a US ONLY contest! Thanks to avisannschild for the heads up.

Celebrating African Americans Giveaway
Ahh, Hachette's at it again. Did you see my last post, where they are expanding the love of Valentine's Day into the month of March? Well, now they are expanding African-American history month into March as well. Fine by me; why do we take one month to celebrate people? Shouldn't we be doing it all year long?
Cheryl's Book Nook is helping break down this month-only thing. Partnering with Hachette Books, she's got these for you:

The Terror
Yes, we must help Dan Simmons take over the world! Rhapsodyinbooks' Weblog has five copies of The Terror (US and Canada only, no PO Boxes, please!) to share.
Terrifying thought, I know. Dan Simmons taking over the world? Truly. Terrifying. We all know Susan's supposed to do that! (Did any of you buy that?)
Unlike Rhapsody's contest for the Italian Lover, there are no fun and extravagant ways to enter (what? You don't want to visit the Northwest Passage, Rhapsody??), but there are multiple ways to throw your name in the hat.
You have until February 16 to do it. Go for it. (and then you can help Susan take over the world, okay, Pinky?)

Guest Blogger: Jill Sorenson
Hey, if you haven't heard, there's been some upheaval in the behind-the-scenes at Yankee Romance Reviewers. There's a team of enthusiastic volunteers who're trying to maintain status quo, but if things seem a bit wonky over there, rest assured it's a temporary thing.
Which is why I'm letting you know NOW, a good eight hours later than usual, that Jill Sorenson is visiting today. (AND rubbing it in that where she lives, there is NO SNOW.)
Please stop in and see her. Let's help Terra heal by showing her blog lots of love!

I know I tell many of you guys that all you need to do is send us a url (to the permalink, please!) of your contest and we'll do the rest.
Still, it's super to meet a new blogger who takes the time to say nice and flattering things. I'm a writer, remember. I've got a fragile ego! (I can hear some of you laughing so hard, you've just sprayed your keyboards with coffee. Explain THAT to the local IT guy!)
Wife and Momma of 3 is hosting a Read in the Bathtub day, which sounds delish. (You e-reader folk, put it in a plastic bag -- and seal that sucker! -- before doing this) She's actually holding it at her book review blog, The Book Faery Reviews, but you can enter at Wife and Momma of 3.

Anyway, Patricia's Vampire Notes is going to make five fans of this werewolf series very happy. She's got copies of the most recent TWO books in the series, Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand and Kitty Raises Hell.
All you have to do is tell her which Kitty book up to this point has been your favorite. (there's also an option if you haven't started the series yet. Like me.)
US and Canada residents only, and no PO Boxes, please. You have until February 17!

The Red Leather Diary
I've been hearing talk of this. The Red Leather Diary, a book that was purportedly found in a trash can.
Lily Koppel, the author, is lucky enough to see this book make the jump from hardback to paperback, and Dawn at She is Too Fond of Books has five copies to rave about. And share; after all, you only need one to rave.
To enter yourself, you have to tell Dawn whose diary you want to discover. That's it! You have until February 16, with this contest being restricted to the US and Canada, with no PO Box holders eligible (unless you have another address 'cause most of us can't fit into those teeny boxes. Even mine, which is a medium, is too small for little me.)

There's a link to peek inside The Terror, should you like to do that. You have until February 17 to enter -- US and Canada only, no PO Boxes, please! -- and all you have to do is leave a comment. Be creative; don't wimp out and say, "Enter me, please."
You guys are cooler than that.
Here's the link.
