#RT15 Giveaway!!

May 19, 2015 by Mandi 96 Comments

Tori and I survived RT! Barely! By Saturday night I was sooooo tired but it was worth it. We roomed with Angela who reviews for Fiction Vixen and she was absolutely lovely. I adored her.

IMG_2531

We laughed – a lot. Tori and I had lunch with Ilona and Gordon Andrews *quietly flails* We had drinks with Jaci Burton. Tori, Angela and I went through lots of wine one night while Laura Curtis told us funny, funny stories. We sat in on good panels. I went to the Avon dinner and met lovely authors and readers. We went to Penguin’s blogger party and talked with editors and got a bag of books. Tori braved the Avon party and got a TON of books (the line was scary long so Angela and I decided a glass of wine at the bar was more fun *wink*) Angela James was kind enough to organize a dinner at the Gas Monkey Bar and Grill (the dude from that show owns it). Things happened there. LOL. Good times.

Tori and Angela James

 

Someone gave me a Sweet Tea Martini and my life changed forever.

IMG_6400

This of course is a penis stress ball (given to me by the Mistresses) hovering over my sweet tea martini. As one does after several sweet tea martinis.

We did A LOT of stuff.

Now I have stuff to giveaway.

IMG_6424

The stuff includes – a bunch of swag.

IMG_6425

There is a t-shirt, 4 bags, two bags full of swag (buttons, cards, pens etc…) and books.

 

IMG_6427

The books include: 

Asking For It by Lilah Pace (out 6/2 – Mandi loved this book)
Undaunted by Ronnie Douglas (out 9/15)
Moonlight on Nightingale Way by Samantha Young (out 6/2)
Vicious Cycle by Katie Ashley (out 6/2)
Sweet Ache by K. Bromberg (out 6/2)
Nowhere but Here by Katie McGarry (out 5/26)
Last Kiss by Jessica Clare and Jen Frederick
Since I Saw You by Beth Kery
Dropping Gloves by Catherine Gayle
Cat’s Lair by Christine Feehan
Sweetened with a Kiss by Lexxi Callahan
Solving for Nic by Lexxi Callahan

 

Since this is going to be a pretty big box I’m mailing out, I have to limit the winner to US/Canada.  One random commenter will win it all. I’ll pick a winner on Thursday.

    You don’t know how hard it is/was for me to read about all the fun that went down at RT while I was literally a couple of miles away but couldn’t go because I had to be a good mom and go to my daughters dance recital and dress rehearsal, etc. But next year RT is April so the dates won’t overlap!!! I am so ready!!!
