Giveaways! (Super fan joy-joys!)

I am, as usual, doing something other than what I'm "supposed" to be doing. Before I get to the two articles of non-fic, the manuscript of doom (yes, I think I'll call it MoD from now on), and cleaning the kitchen, I thought I'd stop being selfish and share all the giveaways I stumbled into this morning.

Patricia's Vampire Notes is hosting the Hatchette Books' Kitty Norville Giveaway through Feb. 17. Five lucky winners will get both five and six of the series!

From now through March 3, U.S. residents can win a signed copy of Eric Nylund's Mortal Coils. I haven't read Nylund before, but based on the synopsis, I'm definitely willing to try it. (And that could lead to a whole other post...I play Halo like a madwoman, but I had no interest in checking out the books. Looks like I've been missing out!)

And while I was over at Fantasy Book Critic, I noticed a giveaway from Patricia Briggs' Bone Crossed. This ends in less than seven HOURS of my typing this, so if you love Mercy like I do, and you're reading this prior to 11:59 a.m. PST on Feb 3, click the link NOW.

A new blog and books to boot!

I'd never run across Book Binge before, but with their contest to win seven Shomi books, I'm in love already!

Those of you who have followed the opening of A Writer's Block know that I flirted with Shomi's first contest for publication; it wasn't for me, but I still love the idea of fusing "romance, fantasy, sci-fi and everything in between." I've read the first three, Wired, Moongazer, and Driven, the last of which was my favorite. The post-apocalyptic word of Driven captured my imagination a little more than the others, but that's not to say that the reality jumping in the other two novels weren't worth the ride.

Eventually, I'll probably read the entire line of books, but I'm most looking forward to Phenomenal Girl 5, both because I have the privilege of "cyber knowing" the author and because I want to see more of how superheros work in novel format rather than comics. Also, Eve Kenin returns to the world of Driven in her not-quite-sequel Hidden. Will she be able to work her magic on me with new characters? I look forward to finding out!
