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’m dreaming of a Tablet of any kind!!!!!!!! In reality—gift cards to Von Maur.
I also wish for the economy to pick up so more people could find jobs.
This is my last Christmas break ever, sniffle, so I wish it is a good one!
Last Christmas was a bit of a bummer in terms of holiday spirit so I’m wishing for a better and hopefully family filled one this year.
I am wishing for 2011 to suck appreciably less than both 2009 and 2010 have, for my own family and for everybody stuck in a crappy working (or not working, as the case may be) situation, a crappy health situation, a crappy living situation, or all of the above. Maybe we should start checking the Mayans’ math and promoting the idea that 2011 will be the year when a new age of peace, love, and impressive public monuments not blowing up in an anti-Emmerichian orgy of no-destruction is really supposed to happen?
My hubby has been deployed to a warzone for the past couple of Christmases, so I am wishing that nothing flares up in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, etc., so that he can stay home and celebrate with his family.
Funnily enough, what I am wishing for most this holiday season is an e-reader.
I’m getting together with my parents, as well as my uncle and his girlfriend. It’ll just be the seven of us, but it should be a nice Christmas. I miss them.
I’m wishing to close on my mother-in-law’s house. She’s been gone 2 years, we have a contract on it, thank God, but…everything’s moving so slowly! It will be so nice not to have that added stress any longer!
I’m wishing the weirdness at my job would subside, my DH gets some interviews for a tenure-track job teaching what he’s really good at, and that my father wises up to the fact that there are other ladies to romance beyond the chilly, dim-witted global warming denier he’s currently pursuing. And a magic digitizer machine to instantly transform all of the thousands and thousands of books we have in our apartment into e-books—we’re running out of room, and bookcases! (Catchpa: heard83 I’ve not yet heard 83 Christmas carols blaring from mall Muzak speakers, am happy for the silence.)
All I want for holidays… are not my two front teeth. I have those and they are mightily well attached and in place, thankfully.
No, but funnily enough, I’d love to spend holidays with the family from the side of my father—always fun people to hang out with, some almost s nerd as I am.
And I want an ebook reader so much too! (So I can curl in a corner and read books without anyone noticing if I don’t get to spend it with them).
What I’d like most for Christmas is the ability to train my cats so they don’t try to take the ornaments so I could actually have a Christmas tree. Then I would like to be able to afford a Christmas tree. Barring that I would like to use my little fake tree without a minefield of broken ornaments beneath it.
If I can’t have that then I’d really like a new phone for my husband, his is very annoying and old and we don’t qualify for upgrades until summer. He would also like a new office chair. I would like these things for him so I can have a happy Christmas because he’s happy.
Hall84: If I had time I’d deck all 84 Halls?
I have many present wishes… they include a spa weekend, an ipad, a Mac computer so that I can run Final Cut Pro, a professional video camera. My little dreams involve time off and bonbons. At least I can get my little dreams fullfilled.
I’m wishing for a happy and quiet Christmas with my hubby and little boy who at 2 1/2 has just grasped the whole “Santa brings me presents?” idea with both hands. No traveling maybe a little snow. Yep that would be great 🙂
Right now I would really love some inspiration for Christmas presents. It’s all very well to say it’s the thought that counts, but what if you don’t have any thoughts?
Honestly all I want is to survive another year working at a mall during the holiday season. An ereader would be nice as well, though!
Such a lovely eReader and the one I was hoping to buy this holiday season.
I can foresee many hours of enjoyment for anyone who wins. Good luck to everyone who has entered.
Hmmm… to be honest, I’m not even sure what I want most this year. I guess I will have to just say a very merry Christmas for our boys. The smiles on their faces is what Christmas is about anyway. 🙂
Actually, I’m good—from this point in, it’s all gravy…my husband came home safely from his second Iraq deployment in late-mid-October, and I can’t think of anything to top having him with us for Christmas this year. 😀
Lettita, I’m with you—-mostly, I’m dreaming of a Sony. If this one doesn’t come live with me, I’m buying one for myself after the holidays.
Either way, what fun! 🙂
I would really love to find out that this semester’s brutal workload paid off when I get my grades.
Other than that… the Sony 505 looks good. =D
I want an ereader so freaking bad! I’ve had the nook in my B&N cart so many times and then I think, no, don’t do it. You can’t afford it right now, be responsible! I’m asking the fam for B&N gift cards so I can get one after Christmas. If I don’t win the sony, then the nook will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine! And yeah, it’s a totally dirty name, thanks for planting that in my brain! So many giggles…
That this year my family will believe that shopping really is my favorite thing to do, and give me gift cards for Christmas. 🙂 I can’t think of a single, tangible item that I’m wishing for most…
This christmas I would really love for my boyfriend to actually give me a gift that reflects *my* interests – and not just the latest “must have” domestic product (seriously.. last years “gift” was a vacuum cleaner.. that he’s never voluntary touched!)
Failing that sort of miracle- how about “Peace on Earth” 🙂

For the holidays, I’m wishing—or hoping—I pass my classes this semester.
I haven’t seen my family or friends for months since I am living in Italy now (I’m Swedish) and so my wish this year is to spend as much time with them as possible for the three weeks that I am home so I can manage being apart from them for another six months before I come home for the summer!
What I want most for Christmas is my hubby to find a job. He has been out of work for a while (read almost 2 yrs) and it would really help. Otherwise, I am asking for health and happiness for everyone and…if Santa doesn’t mind, to drop off a digital reader of some kind for myself. 🙂
I would love for my husband to find a job. Best Christmas present ever! As for actual gifts, I’m in dire need of sweaters (I know! As a kid those were the worst but I’m a practical old lady now!).
May you and yours have the best December ever!!
I’m wishing for Fallout 3. Seriously. I love romance novels and computer games.
What I am wishing for this holiday season could be—and likely is—the title of any number of romance novels. I’m Going Home For The Holidays. Other than that, I’m hoping I finish my schooling within the minimum time they set out (rather than the maximum!) so that I will be able to go home and stay home sooner, and I want nothing but good things for my loved ones and, as naive a wish as it is, everyone else too. <3
HA! My captcha? wish44. I’m wishing, I’m wishing hard, and I’ll do it more than 44 times if it helps.
Right now, I’m wishing for my sister-in-law to stop playing silly buggers, let me and Mum see my nephew, and hopefully she and my brother won’t make Mum cry anymore .
Just … a peaceful Christmas, please. I love Christmas and I hate all this drama.
P.S. I’d also love an ereader but we definitely can’t afford it!
I’m wishing for a picturesque holiday season, the kind that makes it feel like you’re walking in a snow globe. 🙂
I’m wishing for some quiet time to snuggle by the fire with my sweetie, free from our respective families.
I wish to, someday, be able to travel to my heart’s content.
Dear Santa,
Please let my car live another year.
What I want most for Christmas is a Fisher Space pen. I lost mine last month, and I miss it sooooo much.
Oh, and world peace, of course.
The first item on my wishlist is an ebook reader.
This is the first year I have worked full time in a LONG while. While I am enjoying the paycheck, I hate that I have less time to read. so I can buy more books, but never get to them! My TBR pile is huge!! I am most looking forward to the week of so that I can relax and get through a portion of that pile. I used to read about 9-10 books a week. Lately if I get 3 read, it is a lot. So I have big plan for the hOlidays in the respect!!!
I really don’t know, I’m not really wanting for anything. Well there’s a couple big things – a new job for the husband, my cousin’s newborn to come home in time for Christmas. But those things… not really under the tree type stuff. How about I try to be happy with what I have? 🙂
I have to have surgery in January, so I amhopeing for lots of good books to read while I recover!
I’d like the Christmas to run smoothly. Last year’s was rather stressful, and I’d just like this one to be relaxing.
This year I’m looking forward to celebrating Christmas at home and not the hospital. Last year my seven year old son had an emergency appendectomy on Christmas Eve – mmmm, red and green jello for Christmas, and a closed cafeteria. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday season!
