Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, you’re still delicious, but I’m a little tired of latkes.
But that’s ok: Han Solo is here to help. Thanks to Mama Nice for that awesome graphic. 
And you know what never gets old? Free stuff! Today: another book collection, this one courtesy of Simon & Schuster, who have compiled a bunch of December books for your reading pleasure. All you have to do is leave a comment, and I’ll select a winner each day. These contests are open to international winners, and I will do my best to ship this week, provided people send me their addresses promptly.
Standard disclaimers apply: I’m not being compensated for this giveaway. If anything, my gift is exceptional support of the United States Postal Service (Happy Hanukkah, US Mail Carriers!). Oy is just Yo backwards. Do not taunt happy fun ball. Not valid where prohibited by law or by that huge guy who stands at the door and decides who is cute enough to get in. That guy sucks sometimes. Do not write below this line. Falling rock. Still Slippery When Wet. No, that doesn’t get old.
Ahoy! Contest the fifth!
On the Fifth Night of Hanukkah, Smart Bitches Gave to Me: A big ol’ selection of some December 2010 and holiday romances, with something for every reading taste: some to keep, and some to give to friends (or keep them all, I won’t tell).
Just leave a comment below, and tell me which one you’d read, or which one you’d give away, and you’re entered to win. Comments close in 24 hours, but fear not, there’s another book – paper or digital – giveaway coming tomorrow and another chance to win. Because Hanukkah lasts for eight crazy nights, and you need things to read or read on during the holidays, right? Right. Of course.
Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Reading!
I think I’d read A Hellion In Her Bed first. I seem to be in the mood for that sort of thing at the moment 😉
I have never read Julia London but I have heard good things so I would probably start with hers first then the Linda Lael Miller because, like Galadriel, I am far from home.
I would probably give away the Highlander romance because I live in the Highlands and I tend to find them a bit of a cliche (but would be happy to accept recommendations from the bitchery about some good ones).
I’ve never read any of these authors so this is purely based on the cover – A Highlander For Christmas.
I haven’t read any of those, but I’d start with the anthology including Jeanine Frost since I like her Night Huntress series. Also, I’ve seen some good reviews about Julia London and Sabrina Jeffries so it would be nice to have their books
I would start with Karen Hawkins and then Laura Griffin.
I’d read the Karen Hawkins, and give away the Jeffries – because it’s a lovely book, but I already have a copy!
I’d go with Earl of Darkness first, cause he’s a little nekkid. And then, because I like the girl with the lavender dress and her legs are showing, Aching for Always. I don’t know why I’m obsessed with fleshy covers lately.
I’d start with Kresley Cole first, because I’m amongst one of the few that haven’t read her yet. And I’d really like to end that problems like NOW!
And I’d give Blood Trinity to my SIL, because I just bought that 2 days ago ( teach me to buy anything during the holidays!)
i’d read all of them — but the Julia London first.
I’d read the Linda Lael Miller and the Laura Griffin first. LOVE the Han graphic 🙂
I’d always read any Kresley Cole book first. She rocks my socks.
I’d start with A Hellion in Her Bed.
I’ve already read the Kresley Cole story, so I’d start with My Fair Succubi by Jill Myles, as I loved the first two and have been waiting eagerly for the third one. Let’s face it, if I win, I’d read all of them, then lend the ones I particularly liked to those of my friends who actually enjoy reading romance.
A Hellion in Her Bed by Sabrina Jeffries will be my first to read. Since I haven’t read any of the books yet I would read them first then give them to my sister and friends.
I would start with the Kresley Cole book. I love her writing.
I would TOTALLY read the My Fair Succubi—a glowing penis hula hoop?! What could possibly go wrong?
If I really had to choose I would read all the paranormals by starting with Deep Kiss of Winter. I would give away the hisoricals. But, only if I had to choose!
I’d try to read the Sabrina Jeffries cos it seems to have good reviews on a couple of sites I like. The karen hawkins also seems ok. Maybe the Julia London book cos I’ve not read her before .
. But The paranormal stuff – probably give this away cos it i’m a bit squeamish about blood and sucking and mutilation they get up to plus the idiot action arsekick chicks and reactive boof heroes irritate me.
I would definitely start with the Deep Kiss of Winter, but I’ll Be Home For Christmas looks good too. I don’t know which I’d be prepared to give away, but does pimping them out count?
I haven’t heard of a lot of those authors, but I’m super excited about the Jeffries title.
I would read all of them, and then give most of them away, as give-aways on OWOH 2011 😀
I think I would read Gena Showalter’s books first… Aching for Always sounds also interesting.
I’d definitely be ready to read one of the Christmas books. at the moment I’m sulking at my decorations, I tested my brand new lights the put them on the tree and they won’t work. I’m pouting in the corner and ignoring the trimmings for now
I’d probably read the Sabrina Jeffries first. I <3 Sabrina Jeffries. After I made fun of the cover dress on Aching for Always
I’d read Unforgivable first. Been waiting for this character’s story for a while!
And I’m so glad to see my suspicions confirmed. Han is Jewish! I always knew he’d make the perfect hubby for me. Happy Hanukkah!
I would definitely read Julia London first. Love her books! Anything I didn’t want, I would put in the mailroom at my school. I know some of my fellow teachers would love a little light reading material over the break – we’re worn out!
I like the cover of Aching for always, so I’d probably read that one first!
I would probably read “My Fair Succubus” first and maybe give away “A Hellion in Her Bed”. Maybe.. lol

Um, I’d totally read them all, because I don’t share well with others!
I’d read the Laura Griffin first, as I love romantic suspense, closely followed by the Julia London as I love that cover 🙂
Julia London would be first and Kresley Cole would be a quick 2nd . . . there are quite a few I haven’t heard of!
I would give away most of them (after I read them, of course) – so many books, so many friends!
Kenyon first and then would definitely read all the others….. Give away????? Do I hafta??????
I’d read Julia London and then Sabrina Jeffries and would give away the anthologies.
The first one I’d read is Deep Kiss of Winter by Gena Showalter & Kresley Cole! 🙂
I’d read Deep Kiss of Winter first. This is the only one of the Immortals after Dark series I haven’t read yet. I have bought several of Gena Showalter’s books, because the blurbs always seem interesting, but haven’t managed to finish one yet. I have put off buying this book until it comes out in mass market in January because I couldn’t justify spending so much as I would only read half of it.
The Year of Living Scandalously. I mean, how could I resist that title? Followed by One Night in Scotland. Just because.
Kresley Cole’s and Gena Showalter’s A Deep Kiss of Winter would go straight to the top of my TBR pile.
I want some funny paranormal, so I am alll for some Jill Myles!
I also love Julia London’s cover and title, so I’m all for that too!
I would probably read A Highlander for Christmas because who doesn’t want a Highlander for Christmas? I’d have to give away the Karen Hawkins though because I already bought that book.
Are you allowed to be tired of latkes? Is fried potato ever a bad thing?
My captcha is example93. I can think of at least 93 examples of good fried potatoes.
Alphabetically by author fits the librarian in me. As does giving them all away once I’m done most likely to a library to share the goodness and light of the season.
Jill Myles ….I have heard good things about her!
