***COMMENTS NOW CLOSED***
Hello! Today I have books to give away. Hopefully this author,
Jennifer Coburn, will be new to you. I love discovering new authors. It's like finding $20 in a jacket pocket.
I first read one of the books in the giveaway, The Wife of Reilly, a few years ago when I was working at a TV/radio station. This book was sent to one of the on-air talent.
I asked if I could borrow it and I read it in a few days. It's a quick, fun, funny read - just as Chick Lit should be. Coburn is currently living in San Diego. Gotta support the locals.
The winner of today's giveaway will receive three (new) paperbacks: The Wife of Reilly, Tales from the Crib and Reinventing Mona. I'll admit I've never read the second two (not sure why, probably because I'm cheap and waiting to come across one at the used book store). I wonder how quickly and carefully I can read them before I have to send them to the winner? Kidding.
To enter:
1. Go to Jennifer Coburn's site to read the synopsis of each book.
2. Come back here and leave a comment on this post and tell me which of her books you're most interested in reading - required. Easy like Sunday morning.
3. I MUST have a way to get in touch with you! NoReply@Blogger will not send you a response. I will have to delete comments with no contact info.
4. Comments will close on Friday, August 1st at 11:59pm CA time.
5. I will use random.org to draw the winner and post the results/notify winner via email and in a "Winners" post on Saturday 8/2.
6. You don't need a blog to win, but I MUST have a way to contact you. US residents only (sorry!)
*Enter my first pendant giveaway here, the re-usable totes giveaway here, the Starbucks/Barnes and Noble here and the second pendant here (not required, but c'mon, more free stuff!). The easiest way to keep up, of course, is to subscribe to my feed. But I won't make that a condition of entry (unless I get really desperate).
Thanks again for coming! Be sure to keep checking the Bloggy Carnival Giveaway hub for more great prizes. The last time I popped in there were 580+ giveaways. Have fun!

If I were the lucky winner, I'd read Reinventing Mona first because I'm always wanting to change.

Wife of Reilly sounds good to me--you liked it and it's fun to have a little break with some madcap comedy.
ReplyDeleteTales From the Crib because I want to read The Queen Gene and I can't read books out of order!!
ReplyDeleteTales From The Crib sounds hilarious I would read it first
ReplyDeleteReinventing Mona sounds like a fun read! I'm always looking for a good new author and this one may be the ticket! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteReinventing Mona sounds great--aren't we all always trying to reinvent ourselves?
ReplyDelete"The wife of Reilly" looks like a hilarious read. I'm dying to read something else other than "what to expect: the toddler years"
ReplyDeletepisceshanna@gmail.com
I normally love pregnancy/baby books but the Wife of Reilly had me LAUGHING just in the synopsis.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to subscribe to your reader! Loving your blog!!!
OMG, I CAN'T decide...you know of my addiction. I want to read them ALL! Even if I don't win I'll probably go and get them.
ReplyDeleteMel, thanks for commenting for my giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think my wife, who is way more into chick lit than I, would probably like "Tales From the Crib" best.
They all sound good, but Wife of Reilly probably appeals the most since the main character is 36, an age I'm quickly approaching.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like she uses creative and funny means to get rid of her husband.
I'd really like to read REINVENTING MONA because I just turned 30 & this sounds like a great book. Hey if I won, you could read the 2 books first, I hate paying full price for books as well!!!
ReplyDeleteI need a good laugh and think Tales from the Crib would supply. Thanks for the chance to win.

I am from San Diego as well. I think I'd read Tales from the Crib first. They all sound interesting. If I don't win, I'll have to put them on hold at the library.

ReplyDeleteThese books all look very entertaining! I think I would like the wife of Reilly the best because it's just so far fetched and sounds hilarious.
ReplyDeleteTales from the Cribe sounds like it could be very funny.
ReplyDeleteI also think the one called This Is Chick Lit from the site could be interesting too.
Thanks for a great giveaway! I love books!
Reinventing Mona sounds like a great book. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletecharlotte(dot)evard(at)comcast(dot)net
The wife of Reilly sounds really interesting! I will have to keep an eye for her books.

For some reason I am identifying strongly with Reinventing Mona. I don't think that is a good thing, but I would like to read it!
ReplyDeleteonlycancan at hotmail dot com
I like the sound of Tales from the Crib - it sounds like a FRIENDS scenario, and I love that show.

ReplyDeleteI think I'd read Tales from the Crib first--I have three young children and can still relate to pregnancy feelings/foibles. These look like fun, light reading.

I love getting introduced to new books and authors! I would love to read: The wife of John Reilly, thanks!
ReplyDeletekpuleski at gmail dot com
Tales From the Crib solta(at)hotmaildotcom
ReplyDeleteI think that Reinventing Mona really looks like a fun read...something about this line in the synopsis: "about how one person can change the world – one blunder at a time." just seemed like fun. They all look delightful. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteTales From the Crib is a book that I've picked up to read the synopsis a TON of times--and something always keeps me from buying it! There'd be no excuse now, so I'd read that one first and happily fly through the others, as well. I love new books!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
Reninventing moma sounds so funny! it sounds like something i would do to win a person's love.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read Tales From the Crib and second would be Wife of Reilly.

Tales from the Crib looks really good and so does the sequel, The Queen Gene. Thanks for the great giveaway, I LOVE to read!
ReplyDeletemattandjen(at)gmail(dot)com
Wife of Reilly sounds like a laugh out loud kind of book...I need a few more of those in my TBR stack! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Reinventing Mona sounds great. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with Tales from the Crib. It looks really amusing.
ReplyDeleteI am most interested in reading "This is Chick-Lit" since it would give me a taste of her writing plus several other chick lit artists! I love story compilation books!

Tales from the Crib!
ReplyDeletekelli at pfrog dot net
okay - this is a hard one. i'm seriously crossing my fingers to win this one - but i think i'd read reinventing mona, wife of reilly and then tales from the crib!
ReplyDeleteThe Wife of Reilly looks fun (and you could definitely read it before sending it to me :)
ReplyDeleteReinventing Mona sounds the most interesting, but Wife of Reilly sounds really screwball-y.
