Romantic Times: The Bag! The Books! The Swag!

One thing I love to do is a giveaway for the swag bag at RT. Each attendee receives a conference bag stuffed with promotional items, plus a choice of some books from the goody room. I have the bag, some books, plus an extra treat.

Here's a picture of the contents of the bag:

Contents of RT bag 2013

 

Here are the books that I got from the goody room and from authors to include:

 

Books from RT, including two samplers.

 

If you can't see all the titles, the books include two samplers of erotic romance and YA romance, plus the following titles: 

 Book The Isis Collar Book My Fair Concubine Book Christmas Rescue at Mustang Ridge

Book Accidentally Wolf Book Turning the Tide Book The Next One To Fall

 

Plus, I have a coupon for up to $25.00 off your next ebook order at the Carina Press store, courtesy of Carina Press (thank you!). The coupon is valid until 31 August 2013, one time use, and only for Carina Press books – but that's a loooootta books to choose from.

ETA: I also have two cards for a free ebook downloads of the anthology Five Golden Rings, plus the Vampires Gone Wild anthology as well!

Interested? Excellent! Please leave a comment and tell me what you'd bring to RT if you went next year, and you're entered to win.

Standard disclaimers apply: I am not being compensated for this giveaway. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18 and ready to party to win. Your mileage may vary. Tiaras are not optional. Comments close 12:00 PM CDT Saturday 4 May 2013. I'll choose the winner at random and ship the package from here.

If I have the opportunity to add more books to the bag, I absolutely will, so the prize may get a bit bigger. I'm presuming that's ok with you? Ok, then.  I want to send someone a piece of RT, and I hope whomever wins enjoys it!


And the winner is… Jennifer from GA, #37! Congratulations and thank you to everyone who entered! I hope I get to meet all of you at RT in 2014!

    Oooh I would be bringing Aussie Tim Tams to share; a few friendship badges (aussie & USA flags entwined) and a BIG BIG EMPTY BAG (BBEB) for all the books I would be purchasing from the authors I adore (okay… so perhaps a 2nd BBEB in case I can entice one of the lovely cover models with the Tim Tams :D)

    *Tim Tam – Australian biscuit (cookie) of amazing-ness.  A Masterclass in Tim Tam Slams would be taught 😀

  2. Aliyah says:

    I would bring a steampunktastic costume (because who doesn’t love a party?) and a pair of comfy shoes for the giant book fair.

  3. Midu says:

    My pet goat, all the cool girls have one.

  4. Christina says:

    I would bring my Ritalin (and a good way to remember to take it) because if I got to go to something like that I’d really like to be able to enjoy it without being distracted by all the shiny stuff….

  5. Brenda C says:

    An empty bag for all the books!

  6. Lisa J says:

    My good shoes and e-reader.  I definitely need the shoes and reader for standing in line to meet my favorite authors.

  7. Maureen says:

    I’d bring an extra suitcase for all the books I would buy.

  8. Lindz says:

    Some sharpie markers (you never know when these might come in handy), a travel mug (I’m not legally awake until my second cup), and a small yoga mat.  Gotta relax after a day of fun, excitement, and books!  🙂

  9. Rebe says:

    Judging from all the pictures, I’d definitely need a corset.

  10. Bibliophile says:

    I’d bring my best friend. I’d also bring a very big tote-bag, a big box of chocolates and an armful of individually cellophane-wrapped roses to give to any authors I might come across.

  11. Crystal says:

    I would bring extra suitcase and my husband to carry it

  15. Heather says:

    Coffee and chocolate. And wine. And magical shoes that were both comfortable enough to run in and cute enough to start conversations.

  16. a triiple shoot expresso drink from Starbucks and good shoes so I could keep up 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  17. AH says:

    I’d bring a camera that actually works. Nothing worse than going to an author panel and having crappy or no pictures.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  18. TaraR says:

    A journal of some sort to document the event.

  19. Sharon says:

    a tote bag for all the authors to sign, camera and sensible shoes! 🙂

  20. MissGrumpy says:

    I would love to attend RT some day. Unfortunately, me living in Europe would require a lot of planning. That said, if I were lucky enough to attend RT next year I would bring my camera to document every step I take.

    Thank you so much for this giveaway!

  21. Roz says:

    Tim Tams….truckloads of Tim Tams.

    That and a big old empty suitcase for all the books I shall acquire. Might bring the hubby along for the extra baggage allowance too.

  22. Dolores says:

    My big tote bag and me. Would love one of these conventions to happen near me!

  23. Ashley Morris says:

    I would bring a huge bag to carry all the swag I got!

  24. Gry says:

    Lots of fun hairsticks and hairforks! RT sounds like a place where I can wear the sparkliest, dangliest and most colorful hairtoys I have!

  25. Oreos to keep my strength up and someone else to help carry all my swag.

  26. Erica H says:

    Extra bags for all the swag!

  27. Liz O says:

    I’d have to bring my close, personal friend,  E.L. James.

  28. Megan says:

    I’d bring a REALLY big bag to carry all the books and swag, etc. and chocolate to share with all the awesome people I’d meet! Seriously, this whole conference sounds amazing. I’ll definitely have to go someday.

  29. Jamie says:

    I’d bring a reticule with a lot of Sharpies!

  30. Serena says:

    I would bring . . . well, something easy to carry/transport a lot of books in, of course, my comfiest pair of heels, and a notebook for ‘must jot that down!’ moments . . . but other than that I’ve never been to a conference like this, so I don’t know!

    If possible, though, I’d want to bring along my closest avid reader (and writer) friends – everything fun is all the more so with someone to share the excitement!

  31. Rhonda Beyer says:

    First I’d bring lots of coffee, great shoes and lots of stuff to sign. Finally I’d bring home q cover model, or two. Thanks for the giveaway!!!!

  32. Anya says:

    I’d bring my camera, so I could capture hundreds of wonderful memories!

  33. Lizzie R says:

    I’d bring my sister – the only other person I know that would be as excited and thrilled to be at RT as I would be.

  34. SandyL says:

    I would bring an extra bag and comfortable shoes. Also, perhaps a notebook for notes. More importantly, what would I not bring? My teenagers. I love them with my very breath, but they can stay home!

  35. Rudi_bee says:

    Well I like to pack practical things, and I’d be coming from Australia so … Tim Tams and my soon-to-be-created romance novel themed high heels (I’m heavily in to decoupage right now and if ever there was a place to wear them it would be RT).

  36. Pammy says:

    A U-Haul, because New Orleans + RT= Jumbo Swag!

  37. Mindy Breen says:

    I would bring my favoite Author (she might sign a book), a camera, an extra bag for the books and swag I pick up and my sense of adventure (no better time to try a new author and make new friends.)

  38. Michelle K says:

    I’d bring packing tape and peanuts! So I can pack boxes to ship home filled with books

  39. Yaara says:

    Comfy shoes to walk in, a cushion to sit on, a flask of alcohol to keep me going and my bff to share it all with.

  40. Christina says:

    I’d bring coffee (probably just my starbucks card I’m sure I’d find one) and a large bag to carry everything I buy!
