all rules and regs below (as copied from teh nath if I screwed up in my copy and paste skills blame gwen)

1. The book you choose for the challenge must be one that you’ve already read

2. Review must be posted on the last day of the month.

3. At the end of each month, I’ll put up a post for the Re-Read Challenge. Please post the link to your review in the comment section – this way, it’ll be easier to keep track of all reviews so everyone can find them easily and enjoy them

To sweeten the deal, I’ll give away a 10$ gift certificate each month to one challenger. I’ll draw the winner among the challengers who will have posted their review link as requested in rule #3. The gift certificate is to whichever bookstore the winner wants, provided that I can purchase the gift certificate online and send it by e-mail.

*WARNING: if you don’t post your review link in the comment section, you won’t be eligible for the draw. I’m sorry, but this is supposed to be fun I don’t feel like running after all the reviews, especially not knowing at what time you’ll post it. This makes it easier for me

I haven’t hurt anyone yet but it has come verra verra close…. it sort of makes me want to redo the blog template… or something…

The awesome nath has a review up of one of my favorite books, which happens to be the first in a series, The Rules of Seduction by Madeline Hunter. Why is this nifty you ask? Well it is apart of Keishon’s TBR challenge – if you don’t know it – GET THEE IN THE KNOW.

And her next book in the series comes out soon….

One of my favorite peeps to break bread with, KristieJ posts about teh… Harlequin Horrid Title Syndrome. What do you think? Is this a new trend?

Does it matter to you? What is the worst title you have seen? The best? Would you buy the book anyway? ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a great contests! I have some SSE to give away you know

In celebration of Cole’s writing and her back to back releases, Dark Needs at Night’s Edge and Dark Desires After Dusk, I’m giving away 15 copies of Dark Needs at Night’s Edge. They are currently sitting on my counter and I am anxious to send them out. So go forth and comment. I’ll randomly select you to win a copy of Dark Needs so you too can enjoy Kresley Cole and one of her innocent, beleaguered men.

To enter you have to comment… And you can get a sneak peek at the next book here. hmmm we need an excerpt of Dark Needs don’t we?

KarenS has her on special take on Cover Model Madness…

And go check out a review for a book we gave away as Chantal (who looks like she is working for an epub now… who the heck is Resplendence Publishing?) reviewed Private Party by Jami Alden. (oh and yes we will have an excerpt from Caught, Jami’s first Brava coming up soon!).

So what about you? What new with you?
