March Giveaway -- Week Four

WOOHOOO -- WHAT A FANTASTIC 

SEASON OF READING WE HAVE IN STORE!

Thanks for making this another fun week of delightful bookish fellowship! So lovely to talk books with people who get it. :-) Spring has finally sprung way up here in the North and I'm as twitterpated as nest building robins over the scrumptious reading heading our way! 

Before we get started on the giveaway announcements, lets reflect on the most requested book in each genre. Just a bit of nerdish bibliophile trivia, but I can't seem to help myself. :-)

The Heart's Charge by Karen Witemeyer

Contemporary:

Let it be Me by Becky Wade

Suspense/Mystery:

The Nature of a Lady by Roseanna M. White

And wait, it's not over quite yet. This Vanity Category has become a blog tradition -- where I chose my favourite cover in each genre and then draw from the names of the readers who entered them...a kinda draw within a draw. Hope that makes sense. Here are those cover-love winners.

HISTORICAL COVER-LOVE WINNER:

(I love the delicate detail in this cover 

and the way it fits perfectly 

with the first book in the series. It's beautiful and mysterious -- and see that sweet little flower band along the edge? This is going to be a book you want to place face forward on your bookshelf.)

WON BY JACKIE SMITH

CONTEMPORARY COVER-LOVE WINNER:

(It's the serenity of the blue, I think, that draws me in. I'm  landlocked and usually happily so, but this cover has me dreaming about sea and sand and salt in the air. And books, of course.)

WON BY CHANEL M.

SUSPENSE / MYSTERY COVER-LOVE WINNER

(Any time a dog is on the cover, I'm in! I love the sense of urgency and motion in this cover and the superimposed images. 

And all the shades of blue.)

WON BY TRACEY HAGWOOD

AMISH COVER-LOVE WINNER

(So...dog on the cover caught my attention again. I'm nothing if not predictable. And he has such a happy smile on his face -- we just have to get acquainted. Plus, I love that purple-y sky. It holds all kinds of promises.  And, hoorah, this isn't the stock image of the back of an Amish woman which has been so overused it makes me think I've already read a brand new book! lol)

WON BY LORI SMANSKI

And now it's time for our just-because bonus giveaway which is becoming a tradition as well. Last time I chose the 100th entrant in each genre category that went that high but this time we only hit 99 on two days so I tossed that number into random.org and it chose  lucky number 33. Does this make me sound a tad tizzy? It must be all the book tallying. Anyway, here are the winners:

HISTORICAL 33RD

WON BY KAY GARRETT

CONTEMPORARY 33RD

WON BY PAULA SHRECKHISE

SUSPENSE / MYSTERY 33RD

WON BY CC

Phew! That's another RC wrap...until the lazy days of summer roll around. I'll send winners an email stating their book win, publication and requesting a mailing address (or email addy if you prefer ebooks) so that I have everything ready for your release day. Then I will email you once again when the book has been ordered.
