Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, it’s time for the fun to end. Had enough? One more? Sure!
One last giveaway as part of the festive merriment to celebrate reading, both paper and digital, I have a digital reader that’s rather awesome, but getting hard to find.
All you have to do to win 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!). Digital or paper reading is awesome, but you knew that. Love is a battlefield.
Ahoy! Contest the eighth!
ETA: It’s not over until it’s OVER – I have a $50.00 gift card to the eHarlequin bookstore, thanks to the fine folks at Harlequin! So! Since folks have awesomeness in store if they win, I’m going to extend the contest for a few hours extra, and the winner will get both the awesome prize below AND the $50 gift card. WOO HOO! Happy Hanukkah from Harlequin!
On the Eighth Night of Hanukkah, Smart Bitches Gave to Me: A new-in-box Silver Sony 505. I have a big soft spot for this reader: clear screen, memory slots, slim but portable.
Just leave a comment below, and tell me what you’re wishing for most this holiday season, if you’re celebrating, and you’re entered to win. Comments close in 24 hours, but fear not, there’s another book – paper or digital – giveaway coming soon. Because Hanukkah lasts for eight crazy nights, and I have lost my ever lovin’ mind.
Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Reading!
I always celebrate, and I think I’m definitely wishing for a new-in-box Silver Sony 505!
You know, when I was younger I never really understood all those melancholy Christmas songs, but now peace on earth would be so much more meaningful and precious with loved ones away from home, and yet it feels like heaven is further away than ever.
Happy Holidays everyone! Let’s make it a good year next year!
I haven’t really asked for anything, as I have no idea what I want this year. Mostly I just love the looks on my sons’ faces on Christmas morning and spending the holidays with friends and family.
I want a Kindle! Well, I’m getting a Kindle. So I really want this for my mom. I want her to have the joy of ereading too!
There’s nothing specific I want this year…just my family around me, which I am fortunate enough to have.
Thanks for the contests!
I would love to finish writing my thesis before end of December. That’s basically it.
First, I want my family to be happy and to have a nice Christmas. I always love seeing their surprise when they receive a gift that they really want. That makes the rush and hassle of the season worth it. Second, I am really hoping to get a Kindle this year. I have had my eye on one all year long.
I wish we’d get to see our troops come home early.
And for me, I’d love to replace my old, well-loved, Sony 505 (held together with tape) with the one you’ve got!
Peace & Joy this Holiday Season!
Christmas is always a quiet affair for me and my family- as we don’t have the extended family around. Both me and my sister are all grown up now too so there aren’t many big presents either. The thing I am looking forward to getting, strangely enough, is a monopoly set from my parents. Its monopoly bought from the country I was born in and grew up in before we moved abroad so I am looking forward to playing it with my sister. It will be fun playing with the currency and street names i am used to. 🙂
As an inveterate classic movie fan, every year for Christmas, I wish for a bow-bedecked Cary Grant under my tree. Cary Grant circa 1939, not older, distinguished Cary Grant, who was still quite handsome but not as spry. Although why that should matter, I don’t know. He was, after all, my first romance hero, from the time I saw Bringing Up Baby as a ten-year-old. My little heart just goes pitter-patter every time I think about waking up on Christmas morning and finding that man under my Christmas tree. Yum yum.
Oh, come on—it’s no less realistic than that pony I asked for every year when I was little …
I would really like something made of flannel. Flannel sheets, a shirt, pajamas. Just…flannel. (a fabric I’m a little obsessed with right now…FLANNEL FTW!)
🙂
Oh…and winning this contest would be alright too.
Dear Santa –
After watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, I decided to take a page from Linus’ book. I’d really like an awesome digital reader for Hanukkah/Christmas.
Thank you.
Sounds mundane, but I’m wishing for the weather to cooperate, so I can get home to see my family!
Can’t tell you how happy I am to have stumbled across your site. Regardless of whether I win the e-reader or not, I’m delighted to have found this place.
I really wish I can fly home and fly back without any problems.
I asked my personal Santa for an iPad and he laughed. I’ll probably have to wait until Jan or Feb and buy myself one!
My wish this year is a bit selfish: I want to embrace all the joy and glad tidings of the holiday season. I can be a bit grinchy when it comes to Christmas, but this year, I want to love every bit of it, even the things that are time consuming and not fun for me *coughschirstmascardscough*
I’d like a vacation for Christmas…something tropical maybe. If not tropical something with an indoor pool and lots of slot machines…ooh and drinks with little umbrellas. they look so pretty, but i never indulge. And gorgeous men. And dancing. i need a break after the last 18 months…Master Program, I hate you, but i must be a glutton for punishment since i am applying for a Ph.D. too.
In short, I want fun for Christmas. That’s not too much to ask for is it?
I’m hoping for a few days off work, and time to read!
thanks for your generosity this Hannukah season – you’ve made a lot of people happy
Umm….There isn’t really anything I need but I want:
More chocolate, more books, and for calories to work in reverse (namely, that the more you eat, the skinnier you get!)
My wish is a bit odd, but I truly want all three kidlets to make it through the season without coming down with the Holiday Crud. *crosses fingers*
this year i am wishing for a new bike…we have some awesome trails in my area and it would be nice to use them to get some exercise!
I’m just hoping for a safe, peaceful day in which we all play nice!
I’m wishing I could spend Christmas with both the boyfriend and the family (which would probably grant his wish as well, as he doesn’t even have the option between the two), but alas, family comes first, considering I see him for a vast majority of the year anyway.
@Cindy Mccune, I am very sorry for your loss. When i was little my dad’s mother died a week after Christmas, so he gets very depressed at this time of year.
I want a small, warm, happy christmas with my fiance and my cat. Preferably one where we aren’t too stressed about anything. I also want the turkey I am planning to make to turn out well. I’ve only ever made a turkey once before, and it was a little dry last time.
What I want most this Christmas is a few days off work, that I can SLEEP ;). I don’t know when I got so “old”, but man as the years have ticked by I’ve come to just want sleep 😀
hmmmm, what i want for christmas…. i’d prefer a very specific someone wrapped up in a nice big bow under my tree but if i cant have that i’ll take some nice new books to read. *sigh* if i cant have him i’ll take some romances filled with shmexy dukes.
What I want most is for my family (kids and grandkids) to be together for Christmas. Second on my list is a Cotton Bowl victory for LSU. Thanks for another great contest. Happy Holidays.
My pie-in-the-sky wish is for an iPad.
This was a great year for my family, and I feel very blessed. Both my boy’s ended up with great jobs and even one has moved out on his own. My wish is for their continued health and happiness during the coming year.

I’m asking the Yule Fairy for an ebookreader, since the one I’ve been hoping for keeps vanishing. My husband lost his job, and since then, one thing or another keeps cropping off to eat up the little bit of money put aside for my reader. My car’s currently sitting in a parking place waiting for us to get enough money to fix it, and we’re tapdancing around the subject of presents for our family, so who knows if I’ll ever get my little reader.
Actually, I kind of would have liked an ereader for hanukah this year. I’m not a gadget-type person, but I’ve read so much about them here that I’m curious.
Beyond that, I second the people who said sleep. Oh, and time to write, and the frame of mind to write in.
That looks nice!
Jack Frost and Santa Claus be kind this year and make this a white, fun-filled, happy Christmas season!
I would really like to not have to travel to a ton of houses to visit family. We spend all day Christmas Eve and Christmas Day traveling and I would like to stay home and snuggle with my 3 year-olds while watching them play.
I really really want a large screen high definition TV w/blueray player – and – a Sony e-reader. I am not going to get either of these but wishing is good.
Wishing also, for my family’s continued good health, continuing to be employed – and for my husband and I to be able to retire soon as we are getting old

If I can really wish for something this Christmas, I’d like to get my mother a boyfriend. For serious. A soul mate would be grand, but someone to just share and care with would be great, too. Could you check and see if Santa has any over 60 nice men with not too many hangs who want to fall in love? Thanks.
What am I wishing for most? That my brother and his wife will tell us they’re having a baby. I will be the most awesome aunt, seriously.
My favorite part of Christmas is church with my family on Christmas Eve, and I’d like us all to be together. Or maybe I’m just getting sappy because I watched A Charlie Brown Christmas last night. I do love that round-headed loser.
I am praying that my mother’s biopsy comes back benign for Christmas.
Oh, I’d love a chance at this! Woo!
You are doing a wonderful thing for our postal service. 😉
