Yay for YA FEBRUARY GIVEAWAY!!

Happy February, everyone! Although I'm not a big fan of winter, February isn't too bad because once it's over, spring is right around the corner and so is the release of my second novel, CHANGE UP. :) To celebrate February, I'm giving away three books which all contain stories about a certain four letter word: Sara Hantz's THE SECOND VIRGINITY OF SUZY GREEN, Wendy Toliver's THE SECRET LIFE OF A TEENAGE SIREN, and Cecelia Ahern's P.S. I LOVE YOU. 

I picked up THE SECOND VIRGINITY OF SUZY GREEN last year and really enjoyed it. After hard partier Suzy's perfect sister dies, her family picks up, moves, and Suzy reinvents herself, even joining a virginity club at her new school. Her new life is perfect until her ex-boyfriend pops up. 

After I read THE SECRET LIFE OF A TEENAGE SIREN, I really wanted a flute. After self proclaimed band geek Roxy's sixteenth birthday, her grandmother passes along a family secret and Roxy turns into a siren with the power to control all men. But, in order to maintain siren status, she can't fall in love. Will she be able to resist? Loved this one. 

A blockbuster movie and book, P.S. I LOVE YOU will change the way one looks at love, loss, and moving on. A great movie, but the book is better. And once again proves, the book is always better then the big screen. 

To enter to win all three love books, tell me about your worst and/or best Valentines Day ever. My worst Valentines Day involved a high school basketball game, my boyfriend at the time, a cast up to my knee, and a relative. My best Valentines Day was twelve years ago when my hubby and I went on our first official date. :) 

Here are the contest rules: 

1. To enter to win the above mentioned three books, leave a comment and tell me about your worst and/or best Valentines Day ever. If you don't celebrate Valentines Day, tell me about your favorite novel about love. 

2. The contest ends at midnight on February 28th, 2009. The winner will be posted on March 1st, 2009. A family member or friend will pick the winner (including my dog at times). :) 

3. The contest is open to EVERYONE. Don't be shy my writer friends. :) 

4. If you post the contest on your blog, MySpace, Facebook, or anywhere else, you automatically receive two entries. 

Good luck and Happy Valentines Day!! :)  

How I Spent My Winter Vaca

Happy 2009! Hope you had a wonderful holiday. Besides the regular holiday hoopla and major family time, here's how I spent the break.. 

1. Read some great books while I waited for JaNoWriMo to begin..

2. And just as I was about to drive to the book store to spend my Visa Gift Card, these goodies arrived signed in the mail. Thanks, Lenore! 

3. After my eyes bugged from too much reading, I joined Netflix (what an amazing invention) and caught up with Season 5 of my fave show... :)  

4. And finally, I watched this.. 

How did you spend your winter break? Any suggestions for my Netflix 'queue'? Isn't queue a great word? :)
