Winning Wednesday--February 16th

I will only be posting giveaways on this blog from now on. If you have a giveaway that ends before Wednesday of a given week, please feel free to post it at Chick Lit Central on Facebook. You're also welcome to contact me about any giveaways you would like to have listed. (Chick Lit only, please, unless it is for a gift card or book related device.)
Finally, I am no longer going to seek out contests to post. If they happen to show up in my Facebook or Twitter news feed or on my blog reader, I'll be sure to post them. If you think I won't see your contest, please send it to me so I can include it in this blog.
Thank you!

I’m glad to see that you mentioned the Woman's Day contest for “Born Under a Lucky Moon” by Dana Precious. I’m really excited to be working on this book, and just finished reading it myself. I loved it! It’s a really cute and fun read about a dysfunctional yet loving family from Michigan, and a story that spans from the Great Lakes to Hollywood and back. It’s a touching story and is based on some real life events of the author that include a surprise wedding and, sadly, a murder.

You can read sample chapters and the prologue at http://www.bornunderaluckymoon.com. And, here is a great review of the book: http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-born-under-a-lucky/

Thanks for the mention! Good luck in the contest!
