Hanukkah, Day Two - More Digital Reading!

by SB Sarah | December 22, 2011 | Thursday at 9:39 am | 205 Comments

Hey, want a Sony Reader? Sure, why not?

Time for Day TWO of the Hanukkah Madness, wherein there's eight days of mayhem up in here, and you can win prizes. Eventually I'm going to get to the end of my prize stash and someone will win a box of blank CDs and a post it note or something - but not today!

Today the prize is a Sony Reader WiFi, known by its friends as the PRS-T1RC, or "The RC" for short. The RC stands for Really Cool. Among the other Sony Readers, the PRS-T1RC is the one who stands a bit aloof, is always dressed in the most sartorial elegance, and is the first to get invited to any group party, even if they're all going to Big Lots to buy Cat Litter.

It is... the MOST INTERESTING DIGITAL READER IN THE WORLD*.

*It doesn't always drink beer, though. In fact, it doesn't have a mouth so it doesn't drink beer.

But the PRS-T1RC can be yours if you leave a comment and tell me which book gets loaded on first. The RC stands ready to hold a crapton of books from all different sources, including Your Local Library. It will NOT come pre-loaded with Nicholas Sparks. Sorry.

Standard disclaimers apply. I'm not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Must be over 18 to win, and also wearing platform shoes. Open to international entries. Winner announced tomorrow morning. Measure twice, cut once.

So bring it on: which book goes on first, if you win The RC? Happy Hanukkah, everyone!

Anything but Nicholas Sparks! I jest. No, but really. Haha probably everything by Loretta Chase... I'm going through a phase at the moment... just finished Silk is for Seduction - amazing!
Posted by Ally on 2011-12-24 05:54:09 I don't know if this is closed yet. In any case, a new book headed my way one way or another has to be one of the new romances available come Dec 27. Julie Anne Long -- How the Marquess Was Won will most certainly be on the list!
Posted by Terrie on 2011-12-23 23:45:51 Maria Snyder's Touch of Power -- have been impatiently waiting for it to come out. Then would be the Vorkosigan series, all of the J. D. Robbs and then all the Julia Garwood historicals (my paperback copies are packed away and I am in the mood for a Julia Garwood re-read marathon)
Posted by Lynn Pauley on 2011-12-23 23:10:32 Tough call...Probably the collected Jane Austen, simply because it's my go-to for comfort reading.
Posted by Sybylla on 2011-12-23 20:11:51 I don't have anything in epub format (I have a kindle) so I would have to go shopping if I won. I think I would try something new out to load first.
Posted by tezzkatt on 2011-12-23 19:59:13 Death Comes to Pemberly.
Posted by Nikitrax on 2011-12-23 19:07:55 The newest Suzanne Enoch definitely, I love her humor and quick pace.
Posted by Copa on 2011-12-23 15:21:19 Courtney Milan's Unraveled.
Posted by CND on 2011-12-23 14:03:02 Melinda Lo's Ash and Huntress cause I've been loving some Queer Young Adult romance and adventure!
Posted by worthafortune on 2011-12-23 14:02:04 either P&P or whichever new book i haven't gotten around to reading
Posted by meganhwa on 2011-12-23 13:41:25 Actually, I wouldn't download a book to it. I'd donate the ereader to the library I work for. See, we're suppose to get an ereader to show patrons how to borrow books using one, but there's simply no money in the budget for one. As for me, well, I like real books too much. I like their smell, the feel of paper under my fingers, etc.

But I'd love to win a free ereader so I could hand it over to my boss for the library to use.
Posted by Jami JoAnne Russell on 2011-12-23 13:03:47 First would have to be my classic Mills and Boon. Susan Napier definitely.
Posted by maered on 2011-12-23 12:23:48 Even thought it's technically not out yet, I'd download "A lady awakened", asap since the review sounded so interesting.

Posted by Allison on 2011-12-23 11:45:13 The first book I'd load is Eona: Dragoneye Reborn because I'm reading the first book - Dragoneye Reborn now and it is AWESOMESAUCE. So much that I'd already bought Eona. :)
Posted by VI on 2011-12-23 11:38:20 It would have to be any book by Megan Whalen Turner. I'd have to flip a coin to see which one would be first.
Posted by Julie in AZ on 2011-12-23 11:25:52 The new Courtney Milan...
Posted by Auntie Kristin on 2011-12-23 11:21:06 Coming Home for Christmas by Carla Kelly. A new book by Carla is always a treat. Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Hanukkah!
Posted by Debbielovesbooks on 2011-12-23 07:31:27 The Fault in Our Stars by John Green ...after that something by Ilona Andrews or Meljean Brook.
Posted by Erika L on 2011-12-23 07:26:53 The first book I'd load is The Heiress Companion by Madeleine Robins. I have to read and review that book before I forget.
Posted by Sally on 2011-12-23 07:14:12 My first book uploaded would be the antology "Down These Strange Streets", which I've been shamelessly flirting with for a while now, and I always wanted to tackle in ebook format, seeing that its only other form is hardcover -- and a massive one that is -- which doesn't make it practical for subway reading.
Posted by Ana Silva on 2011-12-23 05:39:39 I would give it to my daughter and I know she would load all if Christopher Paolini's Eragon series!
Posted by Kristenfoster on 2011-12-23 04:13:40 The Bunny Club- By Steph Beck! Love her books :)
Posted by Kebani on 2011-12-23 03:05:02 Head rush by Carolyn Crane, most definitely :)
Posted by Blodeuedd on 2011-12-23 02:31:28 Umm Have no idea.
Posted by Aurora85 on 2011-12-23 01:50:14 Raven cursed by faith hunter, because it will be out in January 2012, just in time for the Sony reader.
Posted by Arani_kk on 2011-12-23 01:49:18 damn missed it! I'd load Jill Shalvis' oldie but goodie, Instant Attraction.
Posted by Martsmoons on 2011-12-23 01:17:00 Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh. I just loaned my copy to my mom and of course now I want to read it (for the 10th time). Since she looked at me strangely when I suggested I wanted it back when she was done, I get the feeling I'll soon be buying a new copy.
Posted by Elise on 2011-12-23 01:07:12 I would go with Pride and Prejudice. You just can't mess with a classic.
Posted by Elizabeth Masters Hiatt on 2011-12-23 00:15:31 The new Sabrina Jeffries book!
Posted by Susan F. on 2011-12-23 00:14:53 Twice Tempted by a Rogue, by Tessa Dare, if it's available in e-format. Because it is not available at my local library, or actually in my state, since they do inter-library loaning. They DO have the first and third books of the trilogy though- it's driving me crazy!
Posted by kate gomberg on 2011-12-23 00:13:07 Probably Among the Living by Jordan Castillo Price because I really enjoyed her other books.
Posted by Samantha T on 2011-12-23 00:12:18 Most likely the first book on would be Seanan Mcguire's An Artificial Night. I'm really enjoying that series so far.
Posted by Erika M on 2011-12-23 00:06:42 I'd PROBABLY load something I love already,maybe "Truly Madly Yours" by Rachel Gibson,or some Loretta Chase/old Robyn Donald book...Or...hmmm..I've read half of the new J.D.Robb and half the eBook 4 Inheritance Cycle,so probably one of those.
Posted by ChicBookLover on 2011-12-23 00:04:16 First book would probably be Pride and Prejudice, or maybe Moby Dck. I swear I'm going to finish reading that book one of these days.
Posted by Patricia on 2011-12-23 00:01:56 The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest...at least I believe that's the title. I'm rocking book two currently :-).
Posted by Twilaking on 2011-12-22 23:52:51 My Reader just bit the dust, so pick me!! Pls:)
Posted by Sara Lea B on 2011-12-22 23:49:29 Tripwire - the next Jack Reacher. I can't decide if I like this series or not, so I just keep reading it.
Posted by Daisy on 2011-12-22 23:47:33 The Unsung Hero by Suzanne Brockmann
Posted by Shaatzie on 2011-12-22 23:38:09 The Hunger Games. I've been meaning to read it for a while now and I have 3 months til the movie comes out!
Posted by Diana P. on 2011-12-22 23:33:31 I probably will read the first in Jennifer Estep's mythos academy I read a novella in the series and I'm intrigued.
Posted by Sarah C on 2011-12-22 23:27:15 I am heartbroken that my little Sony 350 was stolen from my bag today. So if this replaced it probably the first thing I'd load on it is the Beverly Jenkins book I have waiting at the library on the strength of RedHeadedGirl's review of Captured. (Couldn't find that as an ebook, but they have "Belle.") After that all of my library from my old 350 if possible. Sigh...
Posted by Rebecca on 2011-12-22 23:08:51 Devil's Bride by Stephanie Laurens. I love the beginning of that series and I'm happy to see the first book in the series available in e-book format.
Posted by TheStormyHeather on 2011-12-22 22:58:31 You'd have to ask my husband because I would give it to him. His Sony died and he has my old one.
Posted by Ev on 2011-12-22 22:53:01 It would be Nora Roberts Key of Light.
Posted by Shelleydito on 2011-12-22 22:50:31 Hmmmm... first book would be Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase (I can read that monthly!), followed by the entire Kelley Armstrong backlist. I'm also really enjoying Richelle Mead's Succubus series. I love my old Sony but the lack of wi-fi is really starting to bother me.
Happy Hanukkah! Happy Holidays! Merry Merry! Jovial Thursday to you all :0
Posted by JennH on 2011-12-22 22:50:15 Happy Hanukkah! I would get The Next Always.
Posted by Beth on 2011-12-22 22:46:45 I start a new reader with a pile of books from Jordan Castillio Price. A new reader would deserve really tasty books.
Posted by Emily E on 2011-12-22 22:29:56 World War Z - the short stories are perfect for reading around a toddler's bed time
Posted by Rasz39 on 2011-12-22 22:27:14 The Hunger Games series. I know, technically three books, but they're my favorites right now :)
Posted by Suex on 2011-12-22 22:11:52 While wearing my platform boots, I would add The Duke is Mine by Eloisa James since it's the next book on my Upcoming Books To Be Bought list. Happy Hanukkah!
Posted by Katy M on 2011-12-22 22:11:13 Loretta Chase's Don't Tempt me
Posted by Emily on 2011-12-22 22:10:09 The Lost Duke of Wyndham by Julia Quinn because I just brought it. I hope I win!!!
Posted by Cino on 2011-12-22 22:08:50 If I got it , it would be a gift to my mom but I'd load it w/ An Introduction: Ariel's Pet by Qwillia Rain for her
Posted by Tiana Scott on 2011-12-22 22:03:47 Unraveled by Courtney Milan would be the first. Really looking forward to reading it!
Posted by SaraLC on 2011-12-22 21:59:20 Jill Shalvis's Lucky Harbor series. Haven't had a chance to get them yet but have been ogling them.
Posted by Tina on 2011-12-22 21:58:59 There's a book coming out in January that I want, but can't remember. Dang. Umm, probably Fate's Edge by Ilona Andrews, which I'm waffling about because it's on the high end of my $$$ scale.

(aka Wahoo Suze--at some point I'm going to have to amalgamate my various online IDs.)
Posted by Unimaginative on 2011-12-22 21:51:21 Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Posted by Sabrina McIntosh Denesha on 2011-12-22 21:48:09 I'd add Brenda Whiteside's Tattoos, Leather and Studs
Posted by Maggie Blackbird on 2011-12-22 21:45:32 11/22/63. It's fat and heavy so the hardcover would be tough to tote around in my purse. Then I'd load the latest Darcy book I could find in digital.
Posted by Jdecredico on 2011-12-22 21:43:18 How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf....I love Molly Harper and her crazy characters!
Posted by Eternity 20 on 2011-12-22 21:42:08 I would add the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn. I love to reread them every so often.
Posted by Allmyjunk76 on 2011-12-22 21:39:12 Lord of Scoundrels. Was curious to pick it up at the library after reading excerpts in "Everything I Know ABout Love I Learned from Romance Novels" but none of the libraries in my whole (large) town have it. Grrr.
Posted by Rebecca Operhall on 2011-12-22 21:38:44 Death Magic - Eileen Wilks
Posted by MaddBookish on 2011-12-22 21:31:57 First titles to go on, would probably be my collection of Shiloh Walker titles.
Posted by Kathy Merkel on 2011-12-22 21:30:58 The first thing I'd load? The complete Vorkosigan saga, then present it to the spouse who greets new uses of technology with, "Ah-hah! It is to laugh...."

By the way thanks for the giveaways, Sarah. They are always fun, though I'm kind of embarrassed by the intense competitiveness that overwhelms me at the slightest hint of a contest.
Posted by PamG on 2011-12-22 21:30:42 I would first load "The Perils of Pleasure" by Julie Anne Long which I'm currently reading on my Samsung Android phone. My Sony Reader (last year's version) died shortly after I purchased the Sony Reader WiFi this month for my mother this Christmas. I have three Sony eReaders (including a PRS505), and all have died in the last year due to battery/power issues. I think that I'm due for an upgrade too!
Posted by BON on 2011-12-22 21:21:58 The first book I would load would be any one of the Cynster books. :) I totally heart Stephanie Laurens!
Posted by SaraE on 2011-12-22 21:19:33 Pamela Clare's I-team series, I haven't read them yet and really want to.
Posted by Annmarie on 2011-12-22 21:10:40 I'd first add my comfort reads: Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, and all the Anne of Green Gables books.
Posted by Karen on 2011-12-22 21:10:39 I would add The Night Circus first, because I'm dying to read it!
Posted by Sarah Jordan on 2011-12-22 21:10:22 I'm looking forward to reading Death Comes to Pemberly, so that's probably what I would download first!
Posted by Carrie Z on 2011-12-22 21:10:11 The Hunger Games Trilogy! I read the first and need to read the next two. Its the first time I've looked forward to watching the movie after reading the book!
Posted by Danielle Doelle on 2011-12-22 21:08:52 I'd put on the new Nora Roberts 'cause I've been meaning to get it.
Posted by Darlene Marshall on 2011-12-22 21:08:16 I'd put something sexy from my library, because how awesome is it that my library has erotica?
Posted by Kathryn on 2011-12-22 21:07:37 anything Loretta Chase!
Posted by Terhare on 2011-12-22 21:04:26 Hmm. Probably Ethan of Athos, by Lois Bujold--it's one of the few Bujold books my library doesn't have.
Posted by Harebrainedschemes on 2011-12-22 21:03:03 My first upload would Stephen King's new book which I still haven't read and I heard it's really, really good.
Posted by Aidaalberto66 on 2011-12-22 20:58:38 You'll probably laugh because it's so old-school, but I'd put Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice on it first. One of the best wartime epic romances set in Southeast Asia and Australia.
Posted by Kathy Salkin on 2011-12-22 20:57:20 An Ilona Andrews novella I purchased recently. Looking forward to reading it during the holidays!
Posted by jubee on 2011-12-22 20:55:28 Jane @DA has made me impatient for Cecilia Grant's A Lady Awakened so that would have to be the first book me. I would love to win a brand new ebook reader.
Posted by Lakaribane on 2011-12-22 20:49:30 "All Seated on the Ground" by Connie Willis.
Posted by Michelle on 2011-12-22 20:38:56 If I get the ereader for free, I don't think I could be expected to limit myself to just **one** download. But I'd start with the first "In Death" book and go from there. Throw in a Cruisie or five, Brockmann's SEAL series, some of my favorite horse books, Julie James' backlist, EIKIL, Loretta Chase's backlist ... wait, how many characters can my response have??
Posted by ToppysMom on 2011-12-22 20:33:36 My first would be Lorelei James Rough Raw and Ready. I like the cowboys.
Posted by Marc on 2011-12-22 20:25:02 The Athena Academy series I bought over at eHarlequin, followed by the Silent Witness series (magical lip-reading heroine is far fetched, but YAY! for disability lit!).
Posted by Ann Rose on 2011-12-22 20:23:06 Since the reader would go to my daughter the first book would either be a history of Abraham Lincoln (her favorite president) or any of Kate DiCamillo's books!

Posted by jepeb68 on 2011-12-22 20:14:44 I'd try some recently released ebooks of Patricia Gaffney since I've never tried her and heard a lot of buzz.
Posted by Gabrielle on 2011-12-22 20:05:33 probably something from kresley Cole.
Posted by Sara Fleming on 2011-12-22 20:05:13 "The Princess Bride," definitely. It's a personal favorite.
Posted by Rachel on 2011-12-22 20:03:37 Any book by Grace Burrowes. Her Windham series is awesome. Of course, there's always Jeaniene Frost's series with Cat and Bones. She has a new book coming out next year that I just can't wait to read and would love to read it on a new Sony. (hint hint). Heavy sigh,.....someday I might actually get rid of the multitude of paperbacks I have haunting every square inch of my house and go completely digital. Oh one can dream, right?
Posted by Riwally on 2011-12-22 19:51:04 Hmm, I'd have to give this some thought. I currently have almost 2800 books (real and ebooks) on my wish list, so the problem would be deciding which would be first. (And, yes, I AM demented. But I plan to live until I'm 200 so I can get thru my reading list.)
Posted by Susan on 2011-12-22 19:49:09 Hmmmmm.... I'd probably have to go with the newest Eve Dallas - New York to Dallas. Then Pride and Prejudice, lol. Happy Hanukkah!
Posted by duchessjms on 2011-12-22 19:39:50 Lord of Scoundrels. Hands down. That book is EPIC.
And Flowers from the Storm. It is equally epic, but on a totally different level.
Oh, oh! Harry Potter everything, if Ms. Rowling ever does decide to release them.

Posted by Zara K on 2011-12-22 19:35:02 I mostly stick with genre fiction (historical romance, paranormal, sci fi, mystery, etc.), but I'm intrigued by the Tomato Nation book club's discussion of Inside Scientology: The Story of America's Most Secretive Religion, by Janet Reitman. My local library has just entered the digital age with ebook rentals, so I would begin by seeing if they could get this for me.
Posted by NikiN on 2011-12-22 19:29:05 Well if Brandon Sanderson would revise faster maybe A Memory of Light! But, since that's months away let's go with Sarah MacLean's "Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake" - I've put myself on a "book diet" until I get through the to-be-read pile that's already in the house, which is also the reason I haven't yet sprung for an e-reader.
Posted by Charity on 2011-12-22 19:19:19 After a lot of "you have to read these books!" from my niece I have finally started The Southern Vampire Mysteries, also known as The Sookie Stackhouse novels. So, my first book would be one of those. Thanks for the chance to win! Happy Hanukkah!
Posted by Erin on 2011-12-22 19:17:26 "Attachments" by Rainbow Rowell because it was my favorite of 2011. With a free reader the painful agency pricing would be mitigated slightly.
Posted by Renda on 2011-12-22 19:14:29 Courtney Milan's Unclaimed, because I haven't read it yet.
Posted by Diatryma on 2011-12-22 19:11:58 Any Lora Leigh Breed book!
Posted by TanyaD on 2011-12-22 19:08:06 so many choices, but I was just looking at your note about Sandra Hyatt - I think I'd load some of hers.
Posted by Diane Sallans on 2011-12-22 18:59:45 Courtney Milan's Unraveled would be the first book loaded. Thanks for the contest. Happy Holidays.
Posted by LSUReader on 2011-12-22 18:53:39 Uh, that would be "daylight abduction."
Posted by zinemama on 2011-12-22 18:29:28 First up would be Devil's Cub by Georgette Heyer. That way, anytime I wanted, I'd be able to read that delectable scene where Miss Challoner meets the Duke of Avon at the French inn, a scene containing my favorite line in all of Heyer (it comes after Miss C confides that Vidal forced her aboard his yacht):

"May I ask what were his lordship's tactics? I feel an almost overwhelming interest in the methods of saylight abduction employed by the modern youth."
Posted by zinemama on 2011-12-22 18:28:42 I'd load A Bite Before Christmas by Lynsay Sands.
Posted by Vandy Jones on 2011-12-22 18:17:28 Merry Hanukkah! E-Readers for Dummies? Is there such a book? Technologically Challenged here.
Posted by Dharma on 2011-12-22 18:16:59 Oooh, Nalini Singh. Either first book in the Psy CHangling series, the last book or the whole series. :)
Posted by Heather on 2011-12-22 18:14:26 The absolute first book? Chesapeake Blue by Nora Roberts
Posted by bookworm4664 on 2011-12-22 18:14:14 My first choice would be the new Inspector Lynley mystery by Elizabeth George...then it would be downloads galore of all sorts of SBTB recommendations to keep me going thru the long northern MN. winter!
Posted by Nhill on 2011-12-22 18:11:36 One of the few Kate Hardy's I haven't read. I love her Harlequins and am pretty sure a new one just came out.
Posted by ElleKeen on 2011-12-22 18:07:50 I don't have a specific, but I know I'd definitely be pillaging Gutenberg and the like for some of the older more obscure classics that I can't seem to find anywhere else.
Posted by de_Pizan on 2011-12-22 17:54:02 The latest Lord of Deliverance, IMMORTAL RIDER!
Posted by infinitieh on 2011-12-22 17:20:09 The first book I'd download is Touched by an Alien by Gini Koch.
Posted by Diana on 2011-12-22 17:16:31 Jeez that's a hard one probably Notorious Pleasure by Ms Hoyt. Have had my eye on it for a while now and a new ereader is a good excuse to buy it(well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). Thanks again for these great giveaways.
Posted by Jo on 2011-12-22 17:14:22 Id give it to my husband so it would be Raymond E. Feist's Magician. The second book is very romantic but don't tell him I said so.
Posted by Kaetrin on 2011-12-22 17:03:04 The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. I've been waiting for paperback, but a special prize deserves a special treat.
Posted by Melissandre on 2011-12-22 16:53:37 The newest Jennifer Weiner novella, "Recalculating." It's only available as an e-book, and I've been dying to read it!
Posted by Brandie on 2011-12-22 16:49:12 I would load The Sharing Knife series by Lois McMaster Bujold. I have read the series a dozen times. It would be nice to have it at my fingertips whenever I wanted it, rather than trying to find it in the very unorganized library we have in the basement.
Posted by KPM on 2011-12-22 16:47:27 Lothaire, by Kresley Cole....by the time Canada Post delivered my new Sony, it will be released already ;-)
Posted by Cheryl McInnis on 2011-12-22 16:46:27 The first book downloaded will be Julie Garwood's "Saving Grace."
Posted by cyclops8 on 2011-12-22 16:38:04 I'd upload all of Elizabeth Hoyt's books. (And re-read them all again!)

Happy holidays!
Posted by Tin Ong on 2011-12-22 16:19:49 my current obsession is Wuthering Heights, so I'll go with that. It would be nice to have a digital copy so I don't further damage my badass hardback copy.
Posted by Ashley Leann on 2011-12-22 16:16:04 So many choices. Maybe one of the freebees from All Romance. Or maybe Richelle Mead's new one Shadow Heir. I have been looking forward to that one.
Posted by Lil' Deviant on 2011-12-22 16:14:04 Michelle Sagara's Cast in Silence.
Posted by Anne on 2011-12-22 16:09:20 The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde - I need to reread the beginning of the series so I can read the most recent. I was told that they spend a long time in a bookstore searching for a book, finally they go for help to the manager of the coffee shop that is in the coffee shop - I am so smitten with this, I must restart the series and catch up.
Posted by Henofthewoods on 2011-12-22 16:02:59 Hmm, I'd say the Dante Valentine Bundle!
Posted by Hmr28 on 2011-12-22 16:01:36 There have been lots of freebies lately, so likely one of those... the latest I picked up was by Eloisa James I think.
Posted by Shel on 2011-12-22 15:59:13 Damn. I left my platform shoes at school (2 decades ago)... sigh

First book loaded? I'm still re-reading Garwood's historicals (thanks, SBTB), so probably one of those.
Posted by JenniferP on 2011-12-22 15:44:31 Thank God I still have a pair of platform shoes from a fashion blackout back in the 70s. Teh first book to be loaded would be Devil's Bride.
Posted by Patricia M. on 2011-12-22 15:43:53 This is great!
Posted by Ajperezjr1 on 2011-12-22 15:24:43 Game of Thrones -- I've been wanting to read it but not wanting to take it on the train.
Posted by Manda F. on 2011-12-22 15:19:28 If I had an something to read eBooks on, my first thing on it would definitely be one of the bargains from your post the other day.
Posted by Julia on 2011-12-22 15:17:55 I'd go with Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. It's my comfort book.

Posted by R.O on 2011-12-22 15:11:02 I just saw that Books on Board has two Susanna Kearsley e-books that aren't available in Amazon (plus a coupon!) So those will probably be the first ones....
Posted by peggy h on 2011-12-22 15:09:21 I would definitely load Pride and Prejudice. It's my favourite and I'm overdue for my annual re-read.
Posted by NatalieJ on 2011-12-22 15:01:58 I would have to load the new "Inheritance" book by Christopher Paolini. Does that count on a Romance novel blog? ;) It's a huge honker of a book, much better to have it in e-reader form!
Posted by Brooke Shelby on 2011-12-22 14:59:59 Honor's Splendour by Julie Garwood an old favourite comfort read (I would prefer The Secret or Ransom but they aren't available in the UK in ebook).

Thank you for this giveaway.
Posted by Jo O on 2011-12-22 14:35:46 I'm currently trying to resist buying Megan McCafferty's Bumped at its sale price, but if I won the RC, I'd relent and buy it (and load it on first!).
Posted by Megan S. on 2011-12-22 14:29:29 The first book I would load onto an ereader would probably be The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran. It's not really a romance, although there is romance in it, but I'm a history geek and ancient Egypt is a really interesting setting (especially as many historicals are set in England or Scotland and I'm a bit tired of those settings).
Posted by ms8196 on 2011-12-22 14:27:25 The first one for me would be the latest Terry Pratchett, Snuff. :)
Posted by Reneesance on 2011-12-22 14:25:52 I need to get a Sony Reader for work, so the first book would be one I have to review online for work. Not a famous book, not a novel.
Posted by susan on 2011-12-22 14:11:40 I'd put all my all-time favourites like books by Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn on it.
Posted by ClaudiaGC on 2011-12-22 14:09:36 I would probably buy a book from my wishlist - maybe a Patricia Briggs book that I have been waiting to buy or else whatever had come in for me recently from my library's online catalog.
Posted by Jill Baird on 2011-12-22 13:56:09 "Uraveled" by Courtney Milan. No if, no ands, hopefully butts.
Posted by Donna on 2011-12-22 13:52:15 I think I would get a Georgette Heyer book :)
Posted by Mekaela on 2011-12-22 13:44:48 First on would be Anyone But You by Jennifer Cruise, my favorite comfort read.
Posted by Lasjobergg on 2011-12-22 13:34:41 I would load Shadow's Stand by Sarah McCarty. Yes, I know it doesn't come out until the end of January, but in the fantasy world where I win an ereader, I would be able to read that book on it!
Posted by Kristin I. on 2011-12-22 13:34:17 It would have to be Outlander for me - imagine reading that whole series in one light ereader? That would be heavenly!
Posted by Doris on 2011-12-22 13:31:41 Holiday Kisses (the anthology from Harlequin). Although I'll hopefully have that read soon, so if i won I'd celebrate with Lauren Dane's Brown Siblings series. I'm craving a re-read.
Posted by Carin on 2011-12-22 13:23:48 I would load Joey W Hill's latest, Bound by a Vampire Queen.
Posted by Cathy MacDonald on 2011-12-22 13:16:50 I believe I need to reread a Bridgerton book.
Posted by AnnaPiranha on 2011-12-22 13:15:10 Bewitching by Jill Barnett, it always makes me smile!
Posted by Debbie on 2011-12-22 13:06:39 Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas. Always ready for a reread!
Posted by Diane on 2011-12-22 13:01:43 Pretty red little reader. First book you get is "11-22-63" since its next on my to-be-read pile.
Posted by joy on 2011-12-22 12:59:18 The first book would be Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus. I have the UK and US hard copies. Why not a digital one also? I like it!
Posted by Qwill on 2011-12-22 12:56:40 Thomas Winship's Væmpires: White Christmas, because I just won the advanced copy :-)
Posted by Zita Hildebrandt on 2011-12-22 12:55:24 I've been wanting to reread The Great Gatsby for awhile and my paperback copy I've had since high school isn't holding up so well. So I'd load that on first.
Posted by Ashley on 2011-12-22 12:54:54 Something by Bella Andre because I cannot get most of her books through Booksfree or the library.
Posted by Brooke on 2011-12-22 12:54:19 "How Trees Die" by Jeff Gillman. Not even remotely related to romance, but it's currently the book I have in my sights and haven't been able to lay hands on. (Why are there 4 people ahead of me in the library hold line for this book?????)
Posted by Suze in CO on 2011-12-22 12:53:57 I could get Outlander loaded first, then J. D. Robb's In Death series. What a neat color. Would love it.
Posted by Jan Lo on 2011-12-22 12:53:00 I would probably go for those shannon stacy (or is it stacy shannon? bugger. also there might be an e involved, but whatever, I have strengths that don't involve remembering things) contemporaries that are only available digitally. They were reviewed here a while ago and if I could buy books I would have gotten them immediately. Usually I forget about things promptly but for some reason those have stuck in my brain as highly desirable.
Posted by kkw on 2011-12-22 12:48:42 _Carnelians_ by Catherine Asaro - because her Skolian books are awesome!
Posted by GHN on 2011-12-22 12:44:13 I think I would first load The Duke and I by Julia Quinn because one never wants to be too far away from a Bridgerton novel. :)
Posted by Jules on 2011-12-22 12:38:04 Oh I have a bit of a back list of books that I need to catch up on. I would choose one of those probably, unless I find something interesting.
Posted by Aralira on 2011-12-22 12:35:30 Saving June by Hannah Harrington. I have been waiting months for it to come out in North America and it has finally arrived.
Posted by Devon on 2011-12-22 12:34:16 First book that goes on is "On the Edge" by Ilona Andrews, because I need to reread it, so I can decide whether that or "Fate's Edge" is my favourite of theirs ever.
Posted by Malin Engdahl on 2011-12-22 12:32:31 Molly Harper's Nice Girls Don't Live Forever. I've been dying to read it but too cheap, but a new e-reader would be an excellent incentive to splash out a bit.
Posted by Samantha on 2011-12-22 12:31:17 The first book I would load onto it is A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton as if I won I would probably give the reader to my mother. But only because I am still quite happy with my Sony 650.
Posted by library addict on 2011-12-22 12:29:14 Hanukkah Madness is the awesome-ist! Jennifer Crusie or Judith Ivory top my list of must reads!
Posted by Bleulucy on 2011-12-22 12:25:53 I would probably load Pride and Prejudice first.
Posted by Mtsmvfn on 2011-12-22 12:24:19 Oh, wow! For people who call themselves bitches, you're being awfully generous . . .

I'd have to pick "Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs" by Molly Harper. It's the first of a trilogy (soon to be a quartet) of the sweetest, funniest, and yes, most original vampire romances I've ever read, with a refreshingly non-dysfunctional protagonist.
Posted by Rosa E. on 2011-12-22 12:21:07 The entire Archangel series by Nalini Singh. LOVE them. :)
Posted by HetalP on 2011-12-22 12:17:29 I'd read Back hawk. Love the series - don't love the covers.
Posted by Jspilman on 2011-12-22 12:16:08 I think the first book I'd download would be Judith McNaught's Perfect. All that talk about it makes me want to go back reread it and fall in love all over again.
Posted by Sarahtq on 2011-12-22 12:02:45 It would probably be whatever hold was ready at my online library which would be so fabulous because then I wouldn't have to read it on the clunky old laptop my son dropped and now moves in slow motion.
Posted by Colleen on 2011-12-22 12:01:48 The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon--I bought it when it came out, but with the insanity known as the holidays, I haven't had time to read it yet!!
Posted by Azure on 2011-12-22 11:43:56 I've never thought about owning a reader so I'm not sure. Since I'm considering re-read Marion Zimmer Bradley, perhaps her entire bibliography! Bet it's pretty cheap.
Posted by Nora Bear on 2011-12-22 11:41:46 Carla Kelly's Harlequin Historicals. I read THE ADMIRAL'S PENNILESS BRIDE and I am now totally hooked.
Posted by ms bookjunkie on 2011-12-22 11:30:15 The Next Always by Nora Roberts. She's my favorite go-to comfort author but she's so prolific I don't have the shelf space to collect all of her books! Ebooks=perfect solution :)
Posted by Jenyfer on 2011-12-22 11:28:08 Definitely Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. Just got the digital version :)
Posted by Turtle on 2011-12-22 11:24:35 Definitely Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. Just got the digital version :)
Posted by Turtle on 2011-12-22 11:24:35 Three Fates by Nora Roberts. It is my absolute favorite book, and I currently own it in epub form, so I can only read it on my computer because the kindle doesn't like epub.
Posted by Elizabeth Gunther on 2011-12-22 11:13:44 Comfort reading; first thing would be the entire Anita Blake series by Laurel K. Hamilton. There's something about a mean girl with a gun that settles me down whenever I'm upset.
Posted by zvi LikesTV on 2011-12-22 11:08:14 Lisa Kleypas's backlist to tide me over until her new book comes out in February.
Posted by Jennifer M(OR) on 2011-12-22 11:05:56 Hooray for Hannukah! First on my list would be everything by Nora Roberts.I never get tired of rereading her books.Oh,Roarke :)
Posted by Gigi on 2011-12-22 11:04:14 First book would be 'The Hobbit'. It's still a year until the first movie and I'm already far too excited about it.
Posted by Cat on 2011-12-22 11:01:20 Darkfever. I keep hearing how great the series is. So it's on the top of list to read next. Now to find the time!

Posted by JennEllen on 2011-12-22 11:00:54 I'm thinking something from Loretta Chase, one of the Scoundrels perhaps?
Posted by Dwndrgn on 2011-12-22 10:59:58 First book, it's too hard to pick just one, but I'll say Saving Grace by Julie Garwood, and then Tame My Wild Touch by Donna Fletcher, then all of the Psy/Changeling series by Nalini Singh.
Posted by Lisa J on 2011-12-22 10:59:38 First on would be Real Men Will by Victoria Dahl. I've been itching to read it, and since my husband and I are about to open our own brewery, that would be the coolest way ever to celebrate.
Posted by Hydecat on 2011-12-22 10:52:27 First on would be my Baloghs, Putneys, Beverleys, and assorted other keepers. I lost my 505 earlier this year and I'm still mourning it deeply. Would love to have another one!
Posted by GrowlyCub on 2011-12-22 10:41:41 Death Comes to Pemberly by PD James... can't wait to read it!! :-) Hopefully on the most "interesting digital reader in the world"!
Posted by Stoirin on 2011-12-22 10:26:58 The first book is Jennifer Crusie "Welcome to Temptation" and then "Faking It". I have been doing a re-read of all her books and I laugh every single time!!! I'm so easy!
Posted by Amy P. on 2011-12-22 10:24:28 Since I've yet to read any Stephanie Laurens (I know, how is that possible?) and Devil's Bride is on special, I would probably give that a go.
Posted by Nadia on 2011-12-22 10:18:56 Hmmm...probably Whispers in the Dark by Maya Banks. I'm really looking forward to that one coming out. Or Tessa Dare's Spindle Cove series. I got the novella but my book budget is DOA so I haven't been able to get the first one yet.
Posted by Amitatuq on 2011-12-22 10:17:37 Bujold's Vorkosigan series, definitely. They're keepers and I like having them with me always.
Posted by Brenda C on 2011-12-22 10:16:26 I woud load "Memory" by Louise MacMaster Bujold first. Then I would load the rest of her books, plus the 'nteen thousand other series I follow and re-read once a year in advance of the new installment coming out.
Posted by Bungluna on 2011-12-22 10:16:22 Happy Hanukkah, Sarah! Thanks for the chance to win the Sony eReader. If I won, I think the first book I would load on it would be the new one coming out by Deirdre Martin, Breakaway. I just love those hunky hockey players of hers. I've read the whole series... my guilty pleasure!! :o)
Posted by Charli Denae on 2011-12-22 10:14:05 the first book i would load is EIKAL, which I have on order from my local library (in fact they are buying it at my request, and already a number of other library members have reserved it)
Posted by Jennifer on 2011-12-22 10:11:10 Outlander, probably, tho am re-reading Devil's Bride right now (I've probably already read it at least 10 times and was STILL up till 4:30 AM!) so that would def be near the top...
Posted by Kiersten Hallie Krum on 2011-12-22 10:11:06 Shadowborn, by Allison Sinclair! I'm rereading Darkborn right now so that I can remember the story before getting to Lightborn, the second in the series. So original!
Posted by Deb G. on 2011-12-22 10:10:10 I'd probably go with Pride and Prejudice. Or possibly Lord of the Rings. My happiness is dependant upon regular re-readings.
Posted by Jenny Dolton on 2011-12-22 10:09:38 I think I'd have to put a really badass book on there in order to balance out the Nicholas Sparks. Nice ereader!
Posted by hannah on 2011-12-22 10:04:38 First book for me would be [i]Command Performance[/i] from Nora Roberts. I've read it a million times...it just hits all the right notes for me. I'm so excited the e-version will be released in January. Thanks again for the fabulous giveaway opportunity!
Posted by StacieH4 on 2011-12-22 10:00:50 No Nicholas Sparks? (sobs) I would load EIKAL first, of COURSE! (Um, if I was sucking up.)

I'd probably REALLY load "The Name of This Book Is Secret" because the 2nd grader just started hogging the e-readers.
Posted by meopta on 2011-12-22 09:58:07 Devil's Bride. Because that's my most recent purchase from the Sony store (I think...if it went through) :D
Posted by Katie Dunneback on 2011-12-22 09:52:59 The first book I'd load would be Deadly Secrets by Terry Odell. After that, I'd add Cindy Gerard's entire back list.
