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!
That was supposed to be multiple orgasms above for my last wish!
If wishes were earls, there wouldn’t be enough to them to go around.

If wishes were earls, I’d dream for a King 🙂
If wishes were earls, I’d have all the pearls…which I’d then use to trade for diamonds and sapphires.
Happy birthday to Elizabeth and thank you Sarah and Avon for the contest.
If wishes were earls, smart bitches would ride of course…I’m leaving what they’d ride to the imagination.
If wishes were earls, we’d have too many to count. No, seriously—Who’s going to fee them all, and where are they going to sleep?
If wishes were earls, we all would wear pearls. Lame, I know, but I’m not a poet, just a Boyle fan. Can’t wait to read this one! Also can’t wait to eat cake at the birthday party I’ll be attending in a couple hours. And happy birthday to one of my favorite authors!
If wishes were earls, I’d probably only get three, and hopefully at least two of them would be dashing or have large, prosperous estates. And as Meatloaf sings, “two out of three ain’t bad”.
If wishes were Earls I would be a young girl.
If wishes were earls, I’d wish my earl was either good with fixing cars, home improvement, or plumbing. Or wealthy enough to pay the guys who are experts at all that stuff.
I love these titles! Though do any of them actually “rhyme with love”?
If wishes were earls, I’d have a soundproof room in with a cozy chair to read in 🙂
If wishes were Earls….they’d be tall, dark and handsome and they’d find a way to rhyme with love. 😀
If Wishes Were Earls, We’d all be happy girls 🙂
If Wishes were Earls… they’d be on all the romance covers. No more random animals, houses, or even couples, just Earls everywhere. Then they’d spread to other genres, where they’d finally start getting bitten by zombies, and things would start getting really messy/interesting.
If wishes were Earls Then I wouldn’t have to get my drinking water out of this stagnant pond any more.
If wishes were earls, there would be a lot more viscounts.
If wishes were Earls, there’d be too many of them.
If wishes were earls, I would be somewhere warm right now with tall dark and handsome.
If wishes were Earls … my first comment wouldn’t have been eaten! 😀
No seriously, if wishes were Earls all of us would have an amazing year, with hardly any worries and sadness and loss and fear, but full of laughter and loved ones and books, kind words and hope.
Thank you for making this giveaway international, Smart Bitches.
Happy New Year to the Bitchery.
If wishes were earls then there’d be much less competition for them!
If wishes were Earls…NBC never would have canceled “My Name is Wish”
If wishes were Earls, then all of us would be lucky girls!!
If the peerage food chain goes thusly:
Barons ~ Viscounts ~ Earls ~ Marquesses ~ Dukes;
Then if wishes were earls, most of us would be, well… middle class, really.
I wishes were Earls, I be unlady like in pearls.

If wishes were Earls, a roguish but kind handsome hunk of Earl-meat would be knocking on my door, ready to whisk me away to his castle where dishes and laundry magically do themselves and drinking margaritas burns more calories than running marathons.
If Wishes Were Earls
Then I would be clever
Not the sad girl
Who always hears “Never!”
If wishes were Earls, my Earl Passionate Pampering Platoon would be a reality. (Oh think of the foot massages!)
If wishes were earls… I’d be tripping over men 🙂

If wishes were Earls, I’d be swimming in pearls.
If wishes were earls, we’d be up to our armpits in nobility. Or was that Martians? I never could keep them straight.
If wishes were earls, they’d be fabulously wealthy and get all the girls!
If Wishes Were Earls…
then all the girls’ curls would be clustered with the earls’ pearls
(where those ‘pearls’ come from is up to your imagination!)
If wishes were Earls, I would have a soundproof room, but it would keep the noise both in and out.
