Avon contacted me and asked if I'd like to host a giveaway to celebrate the release of Elizabeth Boyle's new book, If Wishes Were Earls, and to celebrate Ms. Boyle's birthday, which is today! Happy birthday, ma'am!.
I like birthdays (CAKE) and I like celebrations (CAKE) and I like giveaways (NO CAKE — SORRY. SHIPPING CAKE WOULD BE GROSS) so I agreed. Ready for some fun?
Have a look-see at the cover below:
Help complete the above title with as much silly or savvy as you like by leaving a comment below answering, “If Wishes Were Earls….what would happen?” If you do, you're entered to win.
(One second – excuse me.)
(Pssst, listen Avon, I don't mean to be obvious but If Wishes Were Earls does not rhyme with “love.” I'm sorry to be the one to tell you.)
Anyway. Standard disclaimers apply. Void where prohibited. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law (I'm covering the international shipping for the prizes and I FEAR NO STAMPS.) Must be over 18 and getting your hem wet in some random body of water to win. Corsets optional. Shirt and shoes optional. Nose mandatory. Comments will close 12 pm ET, Friday 10 January 2014. I will select the winner from the entries in the comments on Friday 10 January. You're welcome to tell me in the comments which entries you like best.
So, what are the prizes?
Yay! Thanks, Avon! I wonder if wishing earls might buy iPads?
Second runner up will win a $50 gc to the e-retailer of their choice (open internationally as well). Wishing earls would totally buy bookstore giftcards, too, I'm thinking.
So, if you'd like to enter to win, leave a comment below and complete the sentence If Wishes Were Earls….
Good luck! May the earls be with you!
If wishes were Earls… sow’s ears would be pearls
I’m a sucker for a couplet.
If wishes were earls, I’d be married to one and have a fabulously large and well-stocked library! ^_^
If wishes were earls, I would already have an Ipad and wouldn’t have to enter this giveaway.
If wishes were earls…every trashy-book-reading-daydreamer would be a countess.
Or at least I would. 🙂
If wishes were earls I’d live in Highclere Castle with the Crawley family, being waited on by Carson, Mrs Bates, Cook and Daisy and watching Thomas and O’Brien doing bad deeds.
If wishes were earls… I’d be better at rhyming
pearls?
curls?
Why can’t I think of something manly?
If wishes were earls… their chest hair would curl…

If wishes were earls, then there would be too many earls!
If Wishes Were Earls….there would be one each for all the girls! (wouldn’t that be wonderful!!!) 😉
If wishes were earls, I’d still be no lady.
Happy Birthday, Elizabeth! What a great giveaway to celebrate the new book! Here’s my entry……If Wishes Were Earls, I’d be rich with pearls!
If Wishes Were Earls then I’d live at Pemberley
If Wishes were Earls the chick in the white dress might actually dip her hand in the pond rather than just pondering her reflection.
If wishes were Earls, there’d be a lot of confused people in the the world.
And either a lot of Earls or a few really, really exhausted ones. They’d be popping in and out all over the place – I wonder if they’d all get together and set up shifts??? A union??? Negotiate wish-breaks?
I mean there you are wishing you’d win the lotto jackpot (so you can shout (aka treat) a mega Bitch-con in a sexy chateau on some sheik’s island) and you get an Earl??? Obviously something got lost in translation. Would that make you believe in divine inspiration or just confirm that fate is a fickle member of the Bitchery???
If wishes were Earls, I’d have no need to read.
If wishes were Earls…….I’d trade them for racing camels, they bring much more money then those bastards.
If wishes were earls, then the whole world would have curls.
This is from someone with curly hair who will never have smooth, straight hair.
If wishes were earls… I’d be one too.
Just saying.
If wishes were earls, I’d take a ride!
If wishes were Earls, every bitch would have one and I’d want a Marquis… I’m contrary that way. 😉
If wishes were Earls, my curls and my pearls would always be perfect.
…that fake well on my grandma’s lawn would be crammed with gentlement in knee breeches and hose, and the police would be called sooner or later.
If wishes were Earls, the Earl himself would read the books aloud to me! Thanks for this opportunity!
Ohhh I love it! If Wishes Were Earls… we’d all die waiting for them to be true.
If Wishes Were Earls – Lord Above !
WOW!! Thanks for such a fun giveaway! Happy Birthday Elizabeth and happy book birthday!
Umm… if Wishes Were Earls than we’d all be Amy Adams in Enchanted singing our hearts out and annoying normal people 😉
If Wishes Were Earls – I’d have a reeeeeally long romance series.
If wishes were earls…….. Id certainly ride 😉
If wishes were Earls…someone would still want to know why wasn’t my wish used for a Duke or Prince (next book perhaps?).
Happy birthday Elizabeth! 🙂
If wishes were Earls….I’d curl in my bed, reading till eyes are red…
If Wishes Were Earls then why can’t Hopes Be Marquess’ and Thoughts Be Dukes and Prayers Be Princes and then Dusty Springfield has a new song.
If wishes were earls, there would be as almost as many real life titled hot guys as there are in romance novels.
If wishes were Earls, Almacks would be a bit crowded, as would the House of Lords.
If wishes were Earls….. I’d no longer have to be online dating (YES!)
If wishes were Earls…I’d be the Countess Bigamist
If wishes were earls, there would be no one to empty the chamber pots. Ewww!
If wishes were earls, my uncle Earl Winslow children would be even more unbearable!!
If wishes were Earls…EVERYONE would be eating dinner with the Queen, William and Kate, begging for a cuddle with baby George! 😀
If Wishes Were Earls than he would be hung like a Horse. (Thereby making BOTH of us happy and I would never complain about going to the stable again.)
If wishes were earls then it would be knee-deep in earls around here
