Want a box of books to get you through the holiday season? We have you covered!
Since we get a ton of books at SBTB HQ, we want to give back to the Bitchery and make some space in our respective homes. We’re all collectively worried about the foundation of our places at this point.
We have eight (8) boxes of brand new books to giveaway!
We can promise the books included are absolutely new, finished copies, unread, and printed on paper. We can also promise there will be at least five books, possibly more, in each box.
There may be a mix of formats and sub-genres, but most if not all will be romance or with Strong Romantic Elements!
Genres include contemporary, historical, romantic suspense, thrillers, and paranormal romance, too. While we hope the box you receive contains a subgenre or author you enjoy, we also have our fingers crossed that you’ll love trying something new. And as always, our mission statement is to share the love and share the romance.
To enter, comment below what new releases you’re excited to read in December or 2019! Excited for the new Elizabeth Hoyt? Is there a debut you’re pumped for in the new year? Tell us!
Standard disclaimers apply: We are not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Must be over 18 and ready to read read read. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Boxes will contain books. Lots of books. Hope you’re ready! Though don’t be surprised to find a stray cat or dog hair. That’s our pets’ way of saying hello! Entries will end around noon on Friday 30 November 2018, and winners will be announced and notified shortly afterward.
Good luck to everyone!
Winner update: Drumroll please! Below are the eight winners of our grab bag giveaway. I’ll be emailing all of you shortly. Winners, be sure to check your spam folders. If you didn’t win, don’t worry. Our Hanukkah giveaways should be starting very soon. The winners are:
Really looking forward to âFind Meâ by Courtney Milan.
I’m most excited about The Exile’s Gift, by Tamora Pierce… but now I’m getting nervous because all Goodreads says is 2019, without a specific date!
Oh, boy – Tessa Dare, Julie Anne Long, Alisha Rai, Loretta Chase, Lisa Kleypas, Courtney Milan, Scarlett Peckham, and, and, and – Oyinkan Braithwaite’s “My Sister, The Serial Killer” is up next for me.
I am so excited for Alyssa Cole’s latest Reluctant Royals, and Chakraborty’s Kingdom of Copper comes out in January!!!!
I’m looking forward to the Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden and the Wicked King by Holly Black.
Not a romance, but I’m interested in Diane Setterfield’s new book!
ELIZABETH HOYT FOR SURE! Also the new Jill Shalvis Heartbreak Bay and the Lynsay Sands Highland Brides continuations both in January which is way too far away…
Kelley Armstrong’s new Casey Duncan book in February! Also…Laura Griffin, Shelly Laurenston, Carol Goodman, Valeria Luiselli, Jill Shalvis and Jayne Ann Krentz.
There are so many! Top of my excitement list, though, would be Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews, Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs, 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne, Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev, and In a Badger Way by Shelley Laurenston. 2019 is looking fabulous!
So many Iâm looking forward to! Definitely the next Hidden Legacy book and Devilâs Daughter. I love that we get two Eve Dallas books every year. And I canât wait for Alyssa Coleâs next book!
There are some authors on my autobuy-list, like Lois McMaster Bujold, Ilona Andrews, Sherry Thomas, Anne Bishop and others IÂŽm looking forward to. But even more I hope to discover new (to me) authors!
There are so many I’m looking forward to in 2019, but I’m most excited for the new Mercy Thompson book coming from Patricia Briggs in March!
I’m looking forward to Anne Bishop’s new Wild Country and Patricia Brigg’s new book!
The Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren
I am just eager to follow any recommendations here, English is not my first language and especially those historical romances are challenging, but I am up to it đ
Looking forward to many items including the next Tessa Dare/Girl meets Duke and the next Bareknuckle Bastard book. Thanks!
I am in dire need of copies of new books in the Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrew’s and Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh.
I’m eagerly awaiting more Honey Badgers, Rosalind James’s New Zealand rugby players, the last volume of Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series, anything by Ilona Andrews, and hey! Mr. Rothfuss, you ever getting off the pot?
Anything by Penny Reid and Lucy Parker
I’m looking forward to whatever you guys recommend because that’s where I find my best books!
I’m looking forward to Susanna Kearsley’s latest, Bellewether, and The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden – next in her Russian folktale-inspired trilogy, as well as The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory.
I think I learned about all of these right here at SBTB, so you can bet I’ll also be mining these comments for even more suggestions.
Happy winter reading, everyone!
I want to read the next book in Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series.
I’m looking forward to the newest Patricia Briggs, among so many others
Looking forward to the new Alyssa Cole and the new Jennifer Robson book The Gown!
I am looking forward to the 3rd book in Roni Lorenâs The Ones Who Got Away series, The One You Fight For. I am also looking forward to the next Ilona Andrews book in the Iron Covenant series!
Ooooooooh. The thing is, I’m so far behind ALL THE TIME that I never know what’s coming up, only what’s been released and I haven’t read yet. đ I am FINALLY caught up on Tessa Dare’s latest series, though, so if she’s got a book coming out in 2019 (OOOH I just looked and she DOES and it’s Penelope’s!) then that’s the one!
Anything from Ilona Andrews. They’re an autobuy. Also, just found out Mariana Zapata has a new book coming as well. The 2nd book from two first-time authors, Sally Thorne and Helen Hoang. Really enjoyed The Hating Game and The Kiss Quotient.
I’m looking forward to Megan Whalen Turner’s _Return Of The Thief_ next year. After well over a decade following this excellent series, it’s finally concluding.
The most recent October Daye book, which I have not gotten to yet (it still counts as a new release… I think…)
I don’t really want to enter the giveaway (I’m eboook only these days) but OMG I just have to squee about Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Truly the book I didn’t know I needed in my life until I happened upon the blurb (the US First Son and a British prince are enemies-ish -> forced to be fake friends -> lovers) and now all I can do is keep looking at the goodreads page and whining about how I need it to be June 4 RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW
I’m super excited about Lisa Kleypas’ Devil’s Daughter: The Ravenels Meets The Wallflowers coming up in February. Thank you so much for the chance to win one of these awesome boxes!
I will always be excited for new Alyssa Cole and Elizabeth Hoyt. And Courtney Milan! She is my favorite romance author, I have read everything she has ever written.
Looking forward to the release of Ilona Andrews” Sweep of The Blade sometime in early 2019 as well as Shelly Laurenston’s In A Badger Way in March. Actually, after posting this, I’m going to read through other entries to find out who else has books due I want to read. There’s that Milan for a start…
Next year I’m looking forward to the new Shelly Laurenston- more Badgers! And apparently I’ve already pre-ordered it.
The new Holly Black and Nora Roberts. I’m always about the fantastical stuff.
I’m looking at my preorders (because I’m work-dead and can’t think too far in the future), and it looks like my faves are in the list: new Ilona Andrews, all three of Nalini Singh’s series, October Daye, elizabeth hoyt. But I’m getting some new recommendations from the comments.
that’s why I love the Bitchery – always tempting me with ways to destroy my budget and rock my world!
I am super excited for Sarah MacLean and Lisa Kleypas whenever they put new books out. I’m really focused on going back and reading old books by new to me authors this year too! I also really dig Layla Stone, and any new interesting sub-genre like she writes, aliens and space. Although my heart is always in historicals.
Damn, so many, including all the new Alyssa Cole books!
Courtney Milan, a cuppa and a rainy day are waiting on you!
I am SO waiting for Monica McCarty’s “Out of Time” — on December 31! Such a long wait!
