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.\u00a0 Now I’m working on I think my fourth\u00a0 makeover of the site–which isn’t quite ready yet–and I’ve discovered this about myself, I do love my colours.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 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\u00a0 the winners requests.\u00a0 To enter the daily book giveaway, you just need to comment on that day’s post. Yep, it’s that easy.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The rules are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer both questions correctly<\/strong> and you’ll be entered into the drawings for the eGift Certificate AND the eReader<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Answer only one of the two questions correctly and you’ll be entered into the drawing only<\/em>\u00a0 for the eGift Cards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Answer none of the questions correctly and…there’s always the next day. \ud83d\ude09
\nMonday’s Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Maggie Robinson’s<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Mistress by Marriage<\/strong><\/span>, what gem was Caroline wearing when Edward first saw her?<\/p>\n

In Beverley Kendall’s<\/strong><\/em><\/a> All’s Fair in Love & Seduction<\/strong><\/span>, what is the name of the heroine’s mother’s dearest and oldest friend, who incidentally happens upon Elizabeth in the garden after she parts ways with Derek?<\/p>\n

PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWER on the blog. Email your answers to contests at theseasonforromance dot com<\/strong><\/span> and in the Subject line<\/strong><\/em>, please include Monday’s Answers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So now it’s time to check out Monday’s offerings<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
