Let’s Start the Southern Arcana Read Along!

clip_image002

I’ve been a fan of the Southern Arcana series by Moira Rogers for quite some time. Each paranormal romance book has a HEA at the end, but the world builds up with each book, making it a really fun series. So, if you haven’t read this series here is your chance! And if you have read it, come join in the discussion because we have some fabulous prizes that will be given away.

Mandi here at Smexy Books, Sophia at Fiction Vixen and Nicole at The Book Pushers will each take a turn discussing a book from this series. Prior to the book discussion, you will have a chance to win an E-Book. There will actually be 120 E-books given away! Yes, 120! (30 of each book, including arcs of the fourth book, Cipher out this September)

Also if you participate in the discussion, you will have a chance to win one of three refurbished Kindles!  I know this is a lot of information to take in – so here is the schedule.

Today July 20 Crux giveaway: Ends July 23, winners announced July 24

August 3 Crux chat at Smexy Books

August 4 Crossroads giveaway

August 17 Crossroads chat at Fiction Vixen

August 18 Deadlock giveaway

August 31st Deadlock chat at The Book Pushers

September 2 Cipher giveaway

September 6 Cipher release

September 13 Cipher chat at Fiction Vixen

 

So – what do you need to do today? Myself, Sophia and Nicole are each giving away 10 copies of Crux (you may enter at each blog).

To enter, leave a comment. Contest open through  July 23, and winners will be announced on Sunday. These are E-Books and open to everyone.

Make sure you read Crux by August 3rd, so you can discuss and have the first chance to win a refurbished Kindle. Then the process starts again for Crossroads etc..

Want to start reading today? Purchase link to the Samhain store.

    LOVE the Southern Aracana Series that I have read so far & would be ecstatic to win the whole series & indulge myself for a long weekend of great reading. Hope everyone is having a spectacular summer & surviving the current heat wave & humidity torture (not a fan of high humidity it sucks the energy & life out of me…must be those Northern European genes…Swedish, Russian & German the American Indian 1/4 doesn’t seem to counteract that unfortunately…sigh!).

    p.s. I rarely comment but I want you to know that I love your blog. It was the first book blog I found and now I’m hooked on many! And your recommendations have increased my TBR list to the point where I won’t admit how many books are on it!
