Paper, please. I get a headache trying to figure out what I can read on my Mac.

What’s not to like about a contemporary heroine who actually likes sex and knows which parts go where??? I’d love a free copy so count me in! Paper pls, I am trying to get hubby to give me a Kindle for xmas…
Jaime Benton said on 12.15.08 at 07:21 PM • [comment link]
ms bookjunkie: if you figure out what works on the mac, let me know. so far I have had to buy everything in HTML format which can be a headache to read.
Mel L. said on 12.15.08 at 07:31 PM • [comment link]
I didn’t know that contemporary was in trouble! What will we be left with? Regency lords, Scottish lairds in kilts and cowboys riding into the sunset? Not terrible, I’ll admit, but everyone needs a little contemporary in their lives or else the romance genre just becomes one gigantic, horrible cliche. I’d be happy to win either one and good luck Victoria with your book!
Sandy D. said on 12.15.08 at 07:34 PM • [comment link]
Paper. Because I need a really good book to read while visiting my IL’s and parents next week. :-/
Tracy Wolff said on 12.15.08 at 07:37 PM • [comment link]
I’m a big fan of the contemporary and have done my part this Christmas by buying one for every woman on my Christmas list. I would love to check out Victoria’s book though—in paper, please.

ebook please !!!! Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv your site, and your snarky, in your face reviews. Always ready to save the contemporary too, that I am !!!
Val said on 12.15.08 at 07:46 PM • [comment link]
For those asking about using ebooks on a Mac: From what I understand since the ebook industry is still floundering in terms of which formats are the most dominant, they’ve bascially written off the Mac for the time being until things pick up enough for them to focus on that still relatively small demographic. The easiest solution is (unfortunately) to have Parellels running some sort of PC operating system which should in turn be able to run whatever format you want. All in all, a big pain in the booty.
I love books in any format so bring it on!

Paper please, too terrified of losing something expensive on the bus to have a Kindle or other ebook reader. That, and I’m a klutz.

I’m happy with paper or electronic. I’m just that flexible. :)
Thanks for your efforts in saving the contemporary, we need some variety!

I’m all about saving the contemporary romance, so I posted it on both of my blogs:
http://blog.aubreycurry.com/
http://blog.renaejohnson.net/
There’s something wonky going on with the code, but I don’t feel like fixing it right now (as long as the widget’s working, I’m okay with it). I also posted it on Facebook and LiveJournal for good measure, especially after reading the AP article about Powell’s having to ask employees to take sabbaticals because their sales are so low.
If I should happen to get lucky enough to win, I’d be happy with paper or ebook.
Seadanes said on 12.15.08 at 08:47 PM • [comment link]
eBook yes! Save the contemporary, save the world!
Fedora said on 12.15.08 at 08:47 PM • [comment link]
Woot—paper, please! Long live the contemporary!
Katharina said on 12.15.08 at 08:47 PM • [comment link]
Oh, I am in, I am in. I always thought I belonged to a dying breed, too, prefering contemporaries without any fangs, shifters and suspense elements. It’s so difficult to find those books, nowadays. I would prefer a paperback, please :-)
Erin said on 12.15.08 at 08:48 PM • [comment link]
I’m in, this book sounds great. Paper copy, please.

Susan G said on 12.15.08 at 09:17 PM • [comment link]
If you and Jane both like it then I definitely want to read it!
Either format is fine but I will say paper if I have to choose!
Bev Stephans said on 12.15.08 at 09:22 PM • [comment link]
Paper please! I have read nothing but contemporaries lately. I’m not into regency and I’m giving Scottish lairds a rest.

Paper please. I love ebooks for when I am at my bookstore but at home the paper format is so much better.
Becky Ann said on 12.15.08 at 10:12 PM • [comment link]
Paper is better because then I can hold it, pet it, and call it George!

Ohhhhh, paper please please please!
I’ve rediscovered the joy of (good) contemporaries with your recommendation of McCarthy’s Flat Out Sexy after immersing myself in historicals for most of the year.
Can’t wait to read this one!

Ohh, paper, please! That sounds like a fun read, and I could use a distraction from the chaos around here, :)
Chanel19 said on 12.15.08 at 10:50 PM • [comment link]
The contemporary can’t fade to black, what would all those SEALS, Rangers, Sheriffs and brooding accountants (shout out to Doc Turtle) do?
black59—It would be a black day in more than 59 ways the day the contemporary dies. What would Brockmann, Leigh, et al do with themselves.
Paper please…

I’ve gotten so many good books from your reviews, and some stinkers too, that somehow I found the badness enticing. Does that make me some kind of sick? I woule like e-book please.

Yay Contemporaries!
Elyssa said on 12.15.08 at 11:25 PM • [comment link]
Paper, please! I’m curious to see how VD goes from historicals to contemps (love her historcials!), and as an aspiring contemp writer myself, I personally know how hard it is to even get interest in contemps so spreading the contemp love is very good. I also posted the widget on my blog.
zumie said on 12.15.08 at 11:34 PM • [comment link]
Good, old-fashioned paper. (also, I love that cover like WHOA) I shall also attempt to post the the widget, if I can get the html thing working.

Fantastic giveaway. If I have any luck paper please for me, too. If not I will look to my local library consortium. I didn’t know contemporaries were on the endangered species list, either.

Always buy paper when it’s contemporary or historical romance because I lend the books to my boss. I can’t see myself lending her my Sony Reader. Long story long - paper please.
ev said on 12.16.08 at 04:30 AM • [comment link]
I am incapable of figuring out how to put this on my face book and myspace pages.
I am not worthy.
But an ebook would be great!!

I’ve always been a historical girl (love me some Texas cowboys or English Earls) but I have come into contemporary recently through Jennifer Cruise and Susan Elizabeth Phillips, so I’m excited to try Dahl’s new book on your recommendation. I plan to read it (in print, not e-book) whether I win a copy or not!

Paper book, yes please!
Rechelle Brown said on 12.16.08 at 05:15 AM • [comment link]

Hello all,
I just put the notice to save the contemporary novel on my blog and website.
Please enter me in the contest and elecronic is fine by me.
In fact if I could find it on disk, I’d listen to it during the LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG drive I’ve got to make to WV for holidays with the inlaws. No cell phone. No computer. But I’ll have my palm pilot and my mp3 player. :)

For the longest time I just was not interested in contemporaries. I was looking fr something completely different than every day life. contemporaries. I wanted something completely different from my reality, but some of the paranormals started drawing me in to more contemporary settings and now I enjoy contemporary romances too.
I would like this in e-book. PDF format. I wouldn’t mind it in print though.

Paper books are the way to go! I must admit I’m curious about an amazing contemporary!

Paper please…I do love to touch things!
Jojo said on 12.16.08 at 08:05 AM • [comment link]
As a very new convert to romance, I must admit that I haven’t yet read a contemporary and thus feel that winning a wonderful one would be delightful. Please mark me down for paper.

I love contemporaries, and I do spread the word to my friends regarding contemporaries that I love. Anyway, if ever I get lucky, I’d love a paper book, please. Thanks!

E-book. Because I live in India and shipping would be a pain. If I ever, like, win, that is.

I found this site about a week ago, having never read a romance before, and I’ve already finished “Mr. Impossible” and I’m partway through “Bet Me”! This is seriouslythebest site I’ve come across in a long time.
Paper, please, by the way!

Free book? Hot diggity! Paperback for me, please.
Stupid question: Would LiveJournal be okay for the promotional bit, or is that reserved for people with real blogs/sites?

ooh, ebook please.
After reading about your adventures in Kindle-having, I bought a Sony ebook reader (Kindles are out of stock for 11-13 weeks and I am a creature of impulse), and I’ve bought some ebooks, downloaded every free ebook you guys have promoted, and I copied and pasted together all of Greenwood from the list of links Laura Vivanco and Quivo pulled together—but it still needs more books (I bought an 8 gig memory stick, it needs LOTS more books!)
Jess said on 12.16.08 at 06:52 PM • [comment link]

Paper too. ebooks are useful when I travel but…. there is nothing like the smell of a new book :)
Also, please, save contemporary romance ! Although I love paranormal, historic and all the others, I prefer a contemporary :)

Sounds like a cute book. I’m looking for more writers like SEP, and this (by reading the review) sounds like it’ll come pretty darn close.
And sure I’ll buy it if I don’t win one!!
But if I do…
Paper, please.
