It’s Friday … so win a free book!

6 Comments


Hi all, Happy Friday!

I recently had a really interesting discussion about genre purity on this blog that led to a new author letting me give one of her books away. It’s always fun that someone thinks I have readers! All four of you well bribed and liquored up to keep reading. But for those extra lurkers that do exist, here’s your chance to get a FREE brand new book AND in whatever format you want. You really can’t beat that!

THEN on top of that, this is a particular book that’s gotten rave reviews and even I want to read it. This does break the trend that I usually only give away older, beloved books but I think a lot will want this enticing new offering.

New Rainbow Reviews and Contest!

Leave a comment

 New Rainbow Reviews! I’ve been so busy I just haven’t read/reviewed as much lately but here are the few I do have to offer:

 

Memory of Darkness by P.A. Brown

Taste Test: Alberta Bound by G.S. Wiley

Snow Bunny by Vic Winter

Three Wrong Turns in the Desert by Neil Plakcy

 

In other news, the first day of the contest got off to a bang! For a Sunday, I was worried there wouldn’t be a lot of entries but I was pleasantly surprised!

 

For Monday’s Drawing we have:

 

Masks: Rise of Heroes by Hayden Thorne

 

 

Blurb:

Strange things are happening in Vintage City, and high school goth boy Eric seems to be right in the middle of them. There’s a new villain in town, one with super powers, and he’s wreaking havoc on the town and on Eric’s life. The new superhero who springs up to defend Vintage City is almost as bad, making Eric all hot and bothered, enough so that he almost misses the love that’s right under his nose.

Peter is Eric’s best friend, and even if he does seem to be hiding something most of the time, he finds a way to show Eric how he feels in between attacks. The two boys decide to start dating, much to the chagrin of their other best buddy, Althea, who has a terrible crush on Peter, and a secret or two of her own to keep.

As the fight between the villain, known as the Devil’s Trill, and superhero Magnifiman picks up, Eric’s relationship with Peter almost ends before it begins. When the Trill takes an interest in Eric, can he and his friends figure out the villain’s plan in time?

 

 

This is the first in the series, so start now! A great, entertaining story with a lot of humor and fun. The usual rules apply!

So today’s my birthday (yay!) and since I’ve had a really good year, I decided that I’d do some sharing on my birthday. So I’m going to be giving away either a print book or an ebook each day until Halloween.  To enter for that day’s contest, simply leave a comment or RT on twitter. Your entry lasts for that day and that contest and there will be a new book each day.

 

I decided to feature the books I’ve really loved this year and it’s incredibly hard to choose just 7! But here are the books that are going to be featured this week (in no particular order and not in the order how they’ll be given away): 

Angels of the Deep by Kirby Crow (My Review)

Tigers and Devils by Sean Kennedy (My Review)

Finn by Angel Martinez (My Review)

A Regularly Scheduled Life by KA Mitchell (My Review)

Soft Focus by Reno MacLeod and Jaye Valentine (My Review)

Masks: Rise of Heroes by Hayden Thorne (My Review)

Like Coffee and Doughnuts by Elle Parker (My Review)

These are just 7 of the books I’ve loved and they’re not even the top 7 I’d say, although definitely somewhere near the top. I also limited it to novels because adding in and choosing from short stories made this incredibly tough.  

So Sunday’s book up for grabs is: A Regularly Scheduled Life by KA Mitchell

Another week, another RR round up! I had a pretty good week with books last week and had two, TWO M. Jules Aedin. Poor author got both new books reviewed by me so be sure to go out and buy the books. They’re both really good.  Also might consider checking out the mystery by Abigail Roux. One of the best twists I’ve read in a mystery. And of course the bittersweet short by JM Snyder about “cutting.”  It was a good week!

Afflicted by J.M. Snyder

Every Good Thing by M. Jules Aedin  

My Brother’s Keeper by Abigail Roux

Pirates Do It With Passion by Mimi Riser

The Palace of Varieties by James Lear

 

In other news, there is still time to enter the contest for a free copy NL Gassert’s book “The Protector.” The details are in the post below and you can either post or tweet to get entered. I’ve had a really strong response, more than I expected, so thank you to everyone so far! A winner will randomly be drawn tonight.

I also caved and joined Good Reads like a good lemming. Over on Kris ‘n Good Books there is extensive discussion on ratings (which I’ve likely done wrong) and friend etiquette (also likely to offend). If you’re new to good reads or thinking about, the unofficial guide seems to be there. 

Contest! Free Stuff!

Hi all! 

Are you excited? It’s my first contest! Yea yea, but it is and it’s for a book I really enjoyed reading. So you’ll want it too of course. *noddles*

I recently was offered the book The Protector by NL Gassert to read for review. This fabulous book is a Lambda Literary Award finalist in Best Gay Romance category. Although I know nothing about awards and such, having read the book, I can say any recognition is well deserved. Although initially released only in print, the publisher Seventh Window, has recently issued an eBook copy.

In a great show of generosity, the author has been wonderfully giving away free copies here, there, and everywhere! So if you missed your chance to get this book, here is one more chance. NL Gassert has offered a free e-copy of her book The Protector and I’m giving it away over Twitter.  (I just thought that’d be fun :D).

So to enter to win your free copy, either post on this thread or RT on twitter the following message:

RT @kassa_11 to enter for a chance to win a free e-copy of @nlgassert great book "The Protector". Winner chosen Monday Night!

Be sure to add the @kassa_11 so I can see your tweet.  Everyone that tweets and posts will be entered and one random winner will be drawn Monday Night. A little Monday blues pick me up for everyone hating on the new work week. It’s my first contest so hopefully it’ll go well and promote a great book. So go tweet! It’s free!
