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!
What I want most for Christmas this year are jobs for myself, because I’ve been unemployed for a year and a half, and for my brother who cannot make rent next month.
But I’m not really holding my breath since no one really hires in December.
My wish is to get tix to Cirque du Soleil Elvis in Vegas.
We are celebrating Christmas and I wish that all would go well and peacful and everyone have a great time.
I only want books this year but if someone wants to give me an ipod touch or a new ereader I would be happy too.
Just wishing for some peace and rest this holiday season. I normally wish for snow, but we already have plenty of that!
I wish for a Christmas full of love and laughter that I can carry with me for the rest of my life – it’s the same thing I’ve wished for since my oldest son was a baby, and I’m pleased to say that it’s one wish that has frequently come true. 🙂
My computer crashed and I needed a new one but I got that early 🙂 so now all I am wishing for is to have gifts for others. This would make an awesome one.
A bookcase for the books currently residing on the sofa/floor/footstools, etc. Time to read them all would also be welcome. Happy Holidays to all.
My husband and I want a new TV, but really we have everything we need, especially each other!
I would really love to spend Christmas in London and New Year’s in Scotland but since that’s not going to happen – I’d just like a whole bunch of gift cards to my favorite book stores.
I’m hoping to find the perfect used minivan to replace our dying car. Just the right mileage, not too expensive, etc. Please, universe, send us the right vehicle. I don’t think my car is going to last much longer.
I want to spend time with my friends. i have been talking with one of my friends from elementary school and we have decided to try to have a girl scout troup reunion. I really want to see all of my old friends.
All I want for Christmas is to be sure that my sister doesn’t have cancer. She’s been going through test after test and will be seeing an oncologist this week. She’s only 34, the same age my mother was when she was treated for lymphoma.
I just want her healthy.
My dream gift would be a large, beautiful bookcase as all of my other shelves are bursting at the seams.
These giveaways have been so great and so much fun! I’m not really wishing for anything this Christmas. I had been wanting a body rower so I bought one black friday and am all set. An e reader would be great, though.
A long and happy retirement in which to do a lot of reading – and other things, too.
Hmmm… for the economy to recover, generally. Some sign that there’s a (paying) satisfying job for me on the horizon. A raise or a great new job for my husband, or, failing that, that he keep his present job as long as we need it. It would be great if somehow we could get back to France to see his family in the next year (especially nice to see his grandmas again!). (That would require significant cash donations from some as yet unidentified source.) And last year at this time was such a downer for us, I do wish for peace and joy and health and happiness for everybody (really), but I also just want some nice presents. Because, actually, that’s a pretty simple wish to fulfill!
added72: No! See? I’m being really good; I didn’t add 72 more wishes! Totally reasonable!
I’m hoping for a Christmas with zero family drama, burnt food, or calls to 911. If all that happens, I’ll be one happy panda!
I am totally wishing for one of these gorgeous Sony eReaders! OK – I’m crushing on the Touch, but that’s b/c the Daily Reader is so far out of my price range. I go back and forth on the cost & lack of wireless issue (for the Touch) but can’t bear to by a nook or kobo instead. I wants the Precious!
But more than that, I want to keep my job. Just heard we didn’t win the big new business that saved the world. If we don’t win the 2nd big business that saved the world, then there’ll be another wave of layoffs and that’s weighing hard on my Christmas spirit this year. So my true Christmas wish is to stay employed.
Well, my mom will have been out of the hospital for 2 weeks by then, so I’m wishing for a peaceful holiday that has her back on her feet.
A long and happy retirement. (And for this comment to be accepted before the deadline.)
Every year my grandma figures it’ll be her last Christmas. She’s not a hypochrondriac; she’s just not in the best of health. So here’s to hoping she makes it through yet another holiday season unscathed – that’d be the best present.
This holiday season, I just want some quiet family time—with my first child on the way, I have a feeling this may be the last time I’ll be able to enjoy it!
I’m dreaming of an iPad- but that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
In reality, I’m hoping that my twin daughters (4 mos) are good travelers and can handle the hordes of new relatives they are going to meet in the span of the week between Christmas Eve and New Years. Otherwise, it’s gonna be a LONG 8 days.
And, since we can wish for as much as we want in this little textbox, I wish that my cousin and my friend who are going through chemo treatments during this holiday season are feeling up to at least some celebration and that they kick Cancer’s a$$.
I am wishing for a new reading chair and light this Christmas so I can claim a small corner somewhere in this house to read.
I want a Sony Reader! 🙂 No, I just want to spend some happy days with my familiy, relaxing!
I am hoping for two things- 1st that Christmas isn’t as stressful as in past years, but I am not holding my breath. 2nd that I get the gift certificates I asked for; I want some new clothes!
I’m hoping for a new vacuum cleaner—I know I know it sounds silly, but I just got a new kitten and the little bugger is shedding all over the place and my old and crappy vacuum cleaner may not make it through the week
If I cannot get that, I hope for a day to just lie in bed, read with no interruptions—hmm thinking I have a better chance at the vacuum cleaner : )
I wish for my husband to get a job (he’s been laid off twice in 2 years), my daughter to get relief from her chronic illness and for us to have a safe and happy trip to see our family. (My husband suddenly looking like the guy on the cover of No Place to Run and me looking like Angelina Jolie would be a real bonus! I can dream, can’t I?)
I’m hoping for peace on earth or at least within my immediate vicinity.
We’re traveling back to my ancestral homestead where they celebrate Christmas (I will be enjoying the last night of Hanukkah tonight, and be looking forward to pine trees and good food come the 25th). Alas, there is no peace between my houses – already shots are being fired over bows, barricades are being erected and the riot police have decided to hunker down in their own bunkers and not come out. And that’s just between my parents, my sister’s family, and my grandmother.
So I will be a stranger in a strange land this holiday season. All I pray for is good will towards (wo)men, happy nieces and nephews, and a great emotional dodge reflex. Whilst hunkering in my foxhole, a good book or two on a lovely eReader would be a huge help.
An ereader and some quiet time. I love my family, but sometimes I forget in the craziness of the holidays.
I’m hoping for an A- in physiology, money for next semester’s textbooks, and to see as many of my loved ones as I can over Winter Break.
I am hoping that everyone in the family will be well this holiday. Lots of sickness going around the older members of the family.
To win this contest, of course! Happy Holidays everyone!
I wish for financial freedom for my family and friends & me too.
I also wish for continued good health for them too.
Love & Hugs,
Pam
I’m wishing for the ability to forgive. Also, new slippers.
I really am wishing for a Sony e-book reader, because my library lends out e-books for that platform!
Enough uninterrupted time that I can warp my loom. (That sounds like a euphemism, doesn’t it?)
I want what I’ve wanted for the past (too many to admit) years. A book deal. 😉
But I told the hubby an ereader or one of those one cup coffee makers. Knowing the hubby, the coffee maker is easier to find. LOL!
Wishing for? Wishing for?? Hmmm … I’m really wishing for a fantastic new year!
