DELIVER US FROM EVIL
Evan Waller is a monster. He has built a fortune from his willingness to buy and sell anything . . . and anyone. In search of new opportunities, Waller has just begun a new business venture: one that could lead to millions of deaths all over the globe.
On Waller’s trail is Shaw, the mysterious operative from “The Whole Truth,” who must prevent Waller from closing his latest deal. Shaw’s one chance to bring him down will come in the most unlikely of places: a serene, bucolic village in Provence.
But Waller’s depravity and ruthlessness go deeper than Shaw knows. And now, there is someone else pursuing Waller in Provence-Reggie Campion, an agent for a secret vigilante group headquartered in a musty old English estate-and she has an agenda of her own.
Hunting the same man and unaware of each other’s mission, Shaw and Reggie will be caught in a deadly duel of nerve and wits.

For Ivory Bones Arcineaux and Julian Bynote, life in 1950s New Orleans couldn’t be sweeter. Friends since they met in an illegal gambling house in Newberry, Louisiana, they have their pick of all the fine women, good food, and hot nights they can handle. They seem to have it made–especially Julian who begins to make a new life for himself after meeting the beautiful, classy Magnolia Garbo at a social. But both men are about to find out that letting the good times roll can be deadly when a simple robbery goes wrong and Julian witnesses Bones murdering a man in cold blood. The victim was a white city councilman with all the right connections-and if the two are discovered, it will mean the end to everything they’ve built together. With the New Orleans police hot on their trail, Julian must decide whether rolling in the fast lane is worth losing his freedom and his life.

This is the third time I have run this giveaway and the first two were quite successful.  These books are from our spring library sale.  They are all gently used, lovely books that if I didn’t have a little push from my reading friends…. they would sit in the box I brought them home in for a long, long time.

This is where you come in.  Leave me a comment here letting me know which book you would love to have for yourself.  I will choose a winner using Random.Org next Wednesday.  Then that book will rise to  the top of my TBR and as soon as I can fit it in, I will read it and then pass it on my winner.

It’s fun and easy – and a win – win!

I have cleaned up the pictures from last time and these three pictures consist of the current books to choose from:

There they are!  Have fun choosing and good luck!

What’s a celebration without a pinata?  In keeping up with the weekend theme – I am putting up this giveaway that will go through the rest of the weekend and I will announce the winner on Monday evening during my Bloggiesta wrap up post.

So – wonder what is inside?

I have a beautiful new copy of Labor Day by Joyce Manor and – a box of chocolates from Lindt.

How to enter?  Leave me a comment here letting me know what you used to hit the pinata with!  That’s it!  I will use Random.org when I choose a winner.  Please USA and Canada only.

I made it!  The balloons are hung, the cake has arrived, grab a party hat on your way in and join in on the fun!!!

If you follow this blog you probably know the story of how I began so I will try to just give the bullet point details:

• I did blog before June 9th but did not know I was blogging.  Thought I was journaling.  June 9th 2009 is when I discovered book blogging and never looked back.

• There are wonderful bloggers out there and if it were not for them I probably would have stumbled and fell, but I read a lot of blogs, found what I liked and didn’t like, and tweaked my own.  If I didn’t know how to do it, I asked.  And tweaked… and tweaked.

• After a few months I had picked up my own style, tried different themes and meme’s – worked the kinks out, dropped what I didn’t like and kept what I did.

That is the short version of my year in blogging memory lane.  I have said it before, and I will say it again, last year about a week after I came out of my blog cave (I have this vision of me stepping out like a caveman and discovering other book bloggers was like discovering fire)…

…  Natasha at Maw Books held the first Bloggiesta.  I read up on everything I could and participated to the fullest.  The Bloggiesta was (and is) all about improving your blog, learning how to do new things, organizing your reviews, etc….  Timing could not have been more perfect for this newbie.  I mention it now not only because it was a huge help to me in the early days, but because as timing would have it, the next Bloggiesta is this weekend and if you have any time to participate – I highly recommend it.  My blog looked completely different last year after the Bloggiesta.

Anyway – let’s get to the party.  I really would have nothing to party about if it were not for you, the readers who pop in and read my reviews and leave your comments.  I really do look forward to chatting with you when I can and am so happy to see how that has really developed over here.  I like the feel that you can stop in anytime and hang out for as long as you want.  My goal is to have created a warm inviting atmosphere where hopefully you are finding good content and honest book reviews that make it worth your while.

And when I throw a party, the gifts are for you!  Readers I have 4 giveaway packages that you can comment here to sign up for.  This giveaway will run starting now until Thursday evening – a little over 24 hours.  Be sure to read at the bottom of this post on how to sign up for this one.  🙂

Gift Package 1:  A beautiful hard cover copy of The Air Between Us, See’s Chocolates, A book-plate for Little Bee signed by author Chris Cleave and an EBook of Chosen by Chandra Hoffman.

To sign up to be entered for a chance to win one of these packages, simply leave me a comment here.  If you want to get creative I would love to know how you arrived at the party and what you brought (IE.  You flew your personal jet and brought an avocado dip to die for).

Winners will be chosen using Random.Org and announced either Thursday evening or Friday morning

Thank you to all of you who take time to read my crazy meanderings and discuss books with me.  I truly enjoy our discussions and look forward to many more!
