Book Review: Kill Me Twice, Thrill Me to Death

It’s time for me to catch up on my backlog of book reviews, so I’ve grouped these romantic suspense books into this bundled review. Now, I’ve long admired the way The Book Smugglers structured their review post, and since one of the Top 10 Things I’ve resolved to do this year ...

TBR Jan Book Review: Dear John

TBR Jan Book Review: Dear John

If I were asked to name one great male romantic fiction author 2 years ago, I would have said “None comes to my mind.” However, having read A Walk to Remember and watched the movie (on YouTube, no less!), and recently followed that up with the heart-achingly sweet war romance (well, ...

Yep, you’re not seeing things. I’m really giving away selected books from my shelf over the next 3 weeks.

Reason for this? We’re moving house soon, and I’ve simply run out of shelf space. Plus, even after donating a box of books to Share the Love and another local charity, the tomes of novels I’ve accumulated over the years are still too numerous.

So, without further ado, here are the ‘goodies’ which are still in really good condition that are up for grabs.  I’ve linked them to the reviews posted so you can have a ‘preview’.  Have fun reading!

If none of them below suits, browse through the list on my shelf (see sidebar) and let me know which one you fancy. All you have to do is register your interest in the comment field of this post before 31 January 2010. In your comment, tell me why you’d like to read the book(s) you’ve chosen.

That’s it! No strings, no contests.

[Edited: Books not in this Give-away: Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Return to Troy, Chronicles of the Celts, the entire Harry Potter series and these on my TBR pile.  Books that are struck out below have been taken. Hurry!]
