The Season website is already two years old. Gosh, where has the time gone? I remember when it was a site strictly for historical romances and it didn’t have a blog because truly, what interesting things did I have to say? I remember when the site had no reviews and was constructed to mimic a print magazine. Oh, how utterly naive I was.  Now I’m working on I think my fourth  makeover of the site–which isn’t quite ready yet–and I’ve discovered this about myself, I do love my colours.

So what’s going on this week? I’m giving away a total of 125 print books to 25 commenters. That boils down to 25 books a day and 5 books per winner.  I have the books listed by day–Monday, Tuesday etc–and winners will send me their top 10 titles in preference order. I will do my best to accommodate  the winners requests.  To enter the daily book giveaway, you just need to comment on that day’s post. Yep, it’s that easy.

I do have other prizes. On August 29th, I’ll be announcing the winners for 2 (two) $15 eGift Certificates. The Grand Prize will be an eReader! Winner gets to choose either a Nook, a Kindle or Kobo Touch. To be entered into the drawing for these prizes does require a bit of work on your part. What that means is you’ll have to do a bit of reading if you already haven’t read the books in question.

The rules are as follows:

Answer both questions correctly and you’ll be entered into the drawings for the eGift Certificate AND the eReader.

Answer only one of the two questions correctly and you’ll be entered into the drawing only  for the eGift Cards.

Answer none of the questions correctly and…there’s always the next day. 😉

  2. Happy 2nd Anniversary. I’ve been visiting The Season since the beginning. Thanks for all the fun.

  4. I’ve been dropping by on and off for the past year — but finally committed to placing the site on my bookmarked list. Now, I come by every few days to check for new content —

    My favorite thing is dropping in at the start of the month for the calendar of new releases. ^_^

    Happy 2!

  6. I am a newbie. I stumbled my way in not that long ago. Very happy I did.

  7. I’ve been dropping by this site for at least a year and a half. I think I became aware of its existence when you did one of your early writing contests. I believe you had an agent looking at pages. I came by for that contest and stayed, because, hello, historicals are my main thing. I even reviewed for you for a while. The time is coming when I hope to get a feature on here for an entirely different reason. 😉

  8. happy anniv 🙂 I’ve been enjoying your sight for almost a year & half I think — could it really be that long, boy time does slip by with such lovely company 🙂

  9. Happy Anniversary….how quickly time passes when we’re having fun. I’ve been visiting on a regular basis since nearly day one of this blog. I think I found in its infancy of maybe only 1 month old…or less! It is one of the few blogs that keeps me coming back day in and day out!

  10. Happy Anniversary!! I have been visiting this site almost daily for over a year, and I love it.

  11. Happy Anniversary. I believe I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying The Season since it’s inception 🙂 I read the site through Google reader and make a comment on the blog whenever I find something I want to express my opinion on, and will occasionally stop by to read a review.

  12. Congratulations, Bev! I’ve been around since the beginning and have enjoyed every minute. I don’t always have time to leave a comment but I make time every day to stop by and read the “latest and greatest” here at The Season.

    Thank you!

  14. Hi,
    I have been coming and visiting since the beginning. Great contests!!!!

  21. I’ve been a member of your site for about 5 months now. I try to stop by regularly to see what’s going on and read reviews.

  27. I have been frequented The Season for around two years now. I come by on and off when I can. I love the reviews and I love your books Beverly!

  28. Congratulations and best wishes. I have frequented your site for a year and it is lovely and special. Many more years and m uch success.

  29. Congratulations on your great success and second anniversary. I know I’ve been visiting for over a year but not the entire two years, maybe 1.5 years. I like the idea you’ve extended your reviews to other romance sub-genres. Now when I come here, it’s like 1 stop shopping!

    I look forward in sharing many more anniversaries with everyone.

  43. I’ve been here since the beginning but I’m not really sure how I found you other than maybe from the part of your titlte that says historical romance releases and I enjoy all things historical but your sight is so much more now! Happy 2nd Anniversary.

  44. The Season has been a regular stop for me since December 2010. I love the site, the reviews and all the great posts. In my opinion this is a premiere romance site with lots of love for romance readers.
    Happy 2nd Anniversary and I can’t wait to continue following until you reach year 3!

  46. Happy Anniversary, Bev! Your site is amazing! Keep up the great work, and thanks for offering us romance fans so many spectacular giveaways.

  48. Happy 2nd Anniversary! I have been frequenting this site ever since I discovered it this summer. I have always been an avid reader but didn’t discover the blogging reading community until two months ago. It’s great discovering new authors and books 🙂 The Season blog is wonderful and I hope it celebrates many more anniversaries.

  49. Also, I am non-US resident so not eligible for the print books giveaways unfortunately but just wanted to wish The Season a Happy Anniversary!

  50. Happy, Happy 2nd Anniversary! I have been to this site at least once a day, if not twice, since the beginning. I have found so many new authors here. Thanks so much for being so generous with your giveaways and for being here. May you have many more anniversaries!

  51. I have been visiting for about the past year. I am more of a lurker than a commenter though.

  52. You all have done a great job at this site. I have been visiting for over a year and enjoy getting information about new books and authors. Thanks a lot.

  55. I’ve been here since the very beginning and have enjoyed each step of the site’s evolution. Thanks for the awesome contest and for all you’ve accomplished in the last two years!

  56. Came across the website earlier this year. It’s such an informative place for readers. Thank you for all the generous giveaways and contests. Happy 2nd Anniversary!!

  57. I came across the site in the beginning but did not come regularity until recently. Thanks for being here and for your generosity.

  58. I’m fairly new–I’ve been visiting since I discovered The Season about six months ago. I visit regularly now. Thanks for your wonderful reviews and giveaways.

  59. Hello,

    Congrats on the 2 yr. anniversary. I’ve been visiting the site for about a year now – – usually a couple of times a week. Thanks!

  61. I discovered the site a little more than a year ago. I remember the first year’s anniversary, and I was there for the big July 4 giveaway. Here’s to The Season going for many more years!

  62. I started visiting your site in January. I started following on Twitter a few weeks later. Happy Anniversary!

  63. I can’t remember when I first started visiting the site, but I think it’s been close to two years, so maybe since nearly the beginning. 😀
    Happy Anniversary, and here’s to many more!

  65. Congratulations on the 2nd Anniversary. I’ve visited for the last year. I really appreciate all the reviews and ratings. I’m also more of a lurker than a poster.

  66. Congrats, Bev! I’ve been visiting here for almost the entire time of the site. I’m not even sure how I discovered The Season. I’m just so very glad I did because it keeps me up-to-date with all the new books and I’m interested in the ratings/reviews.

  67. I’ve been visiting this site since the beginning. I discovered it when someone commented on it on All About Romance’s website. I’ve been a fan ever since! Love it and love all the changes you’ve made. Keep up the good work!

  68. I have been following the blog for a little over a year but was mostly a lurker for the first 6-7 months

  69. Many congratulations Bev! You’ve done an amazing job of providing a fun & insightful web site & blog, AND writing great books & serving as a role model for those of us struggling to finish our WIPs! I’ve had the pleasure of hanging around for 1-1/2 years as both a fan & reviewer & have enjoyed every minute. Thank you for the opportunity & cheers to many more 🙂

  70. I’ve been around since you launched. Though I don’t comment a lot I do enjoy your blog. I can find books I probably wouldn’t have knew existed. Can’t believe it’s been two years, time sure does fly.

  71. Congrats to you, you do a wonderful job. I have been stalking your site for a couple months now, and I guess I have you to thank for increasing my TBR list!

  72. Happy 2 year anniversary, Beverley!! I’ve been visiting this site for about a year and a half. I love all the contests and giveaways you have, so keep them coming!

  75. I am relatively a new comer. I didn’t find out about your blog until a few months ago… Congrats on your 2 yr anniversary….

  77. Congratulations on The Season’s 2nd Anniversary! I am really not for sure how long it has been since I first started visiting this site, I want to say not to long since it got started. I do remember that I first heard about it on the Likes Books site and from then on I have been a fan.

  78. I’m very new…this is my first visit! Shana Galen sent me this way via Facebook, and I’m glad she did.

  80. I’ve been around since probably early this year to late last year (I think!) boy, does time fly. I always have to stop in and check out the new books in each genre and add on to my enormous TBR pile. Lol. I always check here first for the reviews before i buy 🙂

  81. Happy Anniversary!! 🙂 I’ve been visiting the site since the beginning! My sister first told me about it. It’s changed and expanded so much over the years! It’s still one of my favorite sites to visit!

  82. I can’t remember exactly when I started visiting your blog, it was sometime in about the last 6 months (that’s about how long I have been visiting blogs). I do love it though!

  85. I have been visiting this site for the past year. Good times!! Happy birthday, The Season Blog!!

  87. I don’t really know how long I have been following you, but it has been more than a year. Both versions of your site that you have had since I started following have been lovely. I am curious what you will come up with next.

  88. Happy Anniversary! Been checking in since the beginning. Bev, you’ve done a great job making it what is today.

  89. Happy Anniversary! I have been reading it since close to the beginning but I don’t remember exactly when.

  90. I have been a regular visitor for about a year and a half. I won a copy of your first book, last spring! 🙂 Happy Anniversary!
