First Funtastic Giveaway

Here it is! My very first funtastic giveaway!

I entered a contest over at The Story Siren, where she did a Cover Puzzle contest and it was really fun. So, I decided I would do one of my own!

Here's what's up for grabs:

The winner of the giveaway will have a choice between the following three Hardcover books (all brand-new).


Book #1 - A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris

Every Sookie Stackhouse short story ever written-in one special volume-from the New York Times bestselling author.

New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris has re-imagined the supernatural world with her "spunky" Southern Vampire novels starring telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse. Now, for the first time, here is every Sookie Stackhouse short story ever written-together in one volume.


Book #2 - Deep Kiss of Winter by Gena Showalter and Kresley Cole

Two never-before-published paranormal stories to delight the senses and tantalize the imagination!

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole delivers a breathtaking tale of a brutal vampire soldier about to know love for the first time...and a Valkyrie aching to be touched.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Gena Showalter puts a daring spin on a tale of huntress and hunted...and concocts a sensual chemistry that is positively explosive.


Book #3 - Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward

The brothers are back - in the lastest installment in J.R. Ward's sizzling #1 new York Times bestselling series.

Rehvenge has always kept his distance from the Brotherhood—even though his sister is married to a member, for he harbors a deadly secret that could make him a huge liability in their war against the lessers. As plots within and outside of the Brotherhood threaten to reveal the truth about Rehvenge, he turns to the only source of light in his darkening world, Ehlena, a vampire untouched by the corruption that has its hold on him—and the only thing standing between him and eternal destruction.

For only one day, this is going well so far. ~laughs~

I feel like I had three people comment this morning, and one of those comments somehow didn't get posted? And it's no longer in my Dashboard. So if you posted a comment and it hasn't appeared, please do so again so that you are entered into the contest!

I apologize if this is indeed the case.

Hi Jessica,
Awesome contest your having...

You asked which of the 3 books we'd choose if we won and I can't answer that. I want all three. I am reading the Sookie Series since this is not exactly part of the series and I havent read it yet I want it and the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series I'm only on book 1 in this series so 3 would be perfect and Deep Kiss of Winter I've read some great reviews on this one, but I guess I'd rather have 1 of the first 2 I mentioned since I'm already reading series for both. Anyways I can't choose if I am to win surprise me cause I'd love to have all of them.

I am a follower

I am emailing you with my answers. I knew a few, but you wanted to make this one hard to win didn't you...LOL

It was interesting looking them up, but time consuming.
