Thank you Dear Followers, Readers and Authors, I Adore!
You won’t believe what was left on my floor.
The holidays are over and the trash is out
So why must I ask do you still pout?
Disappointed and pining for “must read” books not received.
That coveted book, when you asked, “pretty please?”
Please stop shedding those tears
Keep reading and alleviate those fears
Check out this big stash – you must partake!
Your authors love you and want you to know
Take a look at this booty and discover a Naughty rake
Or a billionaire, a Slip Travler, or SEAL will help you go
Re-discover a new Author or reconnect with an old favorite for goodness sake
No gimmicks, no rafflecopters, no boxes to tag
For your shot at a great read, not found in your holiday bag
Your significant other wasn’t quick, didn’t hear what you asked,
so this, dear readers is your only task
Pass the ‘word around on blogs, Facebook, and Twitter,
Thank you, thank you, and remember a good read for Winter,
Now, all of these authors have done a good deed…
Take a look, pick a book and settle in for a READ!
****Just ONE step between you and an awesome prize***
Let us know in the comments below what you got that wasn’t so hot and what book you’d LOVE!
If your gift was a book, don’t share the names of the books out of respect to both the Authors and other readers, PLEASE! But, ugly sweaters or tacky ornaments? You can name names! As well as any other crazy gifts that you got that you just said “WHAT?”

Didn’t get any bad gifts. My best gift was a gift basket of healthy foods from my brother.
Crystal – wow! That sounds yummy 🙂 Hope you shared some with him 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
What an awesome giveaway! I always look forward to Christmas but I’m kind of jealous not ever getting a bad/weird gift! haha! Maybe the weirdest gift was a fruit cake sent to my family in the mail from a family friend living overseas. This was when I was young but I remember thinking nobody in my family eats fruitcake so what are we going to do with it? I don’t remember what happened to it but I’m sure we didn’t eat it! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Searching For Perfect by the awesome Jennifer Probst!!!
Ada – that’s great that you haven’t received a crazy/weird gift. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I didn’t have a bad gift in the bunch this year, so I’m super happy! I’m a pretty easy person to shop for, so my family and friends all know what to get me. 🙂 I love Jennifer Probst’s books, so I would love to win an autographed copy of Searching for Perfect. Thanks for the chance to win!
Anita- Yay for a great holiday! I love reading books from Jennifer Probst too! You are most welcome – I love it when I can pass the AMAZING reads along! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
The only gift I received was from the mom of the child I care for and ot was a great gift. I would like Christmas with a Seal
A her Seal books are great.
Cattlekate92 – happy to hear that your holiday was nice 🙂 I LOVE those SEAL books! Thanks for stopping by!
I didn’t get anything so I guess that would be my worst gift. I would like Christmas with a Seal please. Or any of them would be nice. Thanks for the chance.
Nicole- oh no! All of the SEAL books are a fabulous read! Thanks for stopping by!
I had a fantastic Christmas. Truly the best ever!
K Davis- that’s fantastic! I love it when things work out like that 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I would have had to hear from my children in order to get a gift out of six kids none even called
Hmmm…nothing bad comes to mind…though in our family we usually only give the kids holiday gifts. I am looking forward to reading anything new and exciting! I loved getting sucked into a good plot!
Keri- Sounds like a fun holiday for your kids! Books with a great plot is exactly what this “booty” has! Thanks for stopping by!

I got a new slow cooker that was on my list and two gift cards for restaurants I love to go to. My 4 year old grandson gave me a stretchy blue bracelet with silver tone charms. That’s a gift I’ll treasure always. He was so excited about giving it to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better gift. Should I be lucky enough to win I would like Searching For Perfect by Jennifer Probst. Thank you for the chance to enter this giveaway.

Some great rhyming there. Nice contest thanks for letting me in.
i didnt get any gifts this year but the worst gift i got in the past was thongs from this weird creepy family friend
Crystal – oh my! I hope that was the last weird thing you’ve received. I’m so happy you stopped by – while you wait patiently check out my post from the other day with some not to be missed books (some of which are FREE) https://booksilovealatte.wordpress.com/2014/12/25/happy-holidays-have-no-fear-there-are-sweet-book-deals-still-to-be-found-for-all/ -some deals may not be valid but the books list will spark some ideas I’m sure!
I do not get many gifts, but I did receive handmade crocheted scarves from my sister. A few beaded necklaces and some nice sweaters. I would have liked a troll beads bracelet. Always next year or my birthday, lol. I would love Nancy Northcott’s book. Great giveaway.
Suzanne – sounds like a lot of cool stuff. Sorry about the bracelet – perhaps lots of sticky notes around the house for your birthday? Nancy has an awesome series! So glad you like the giveaways – fun stuff here! Thanks for stopping by!
This year, like last year, my husband decided to by me a phone case. I needed it since I got a new phone, but it is something I can buy myself. This giveaway is awesome! I would like an e-book by Jade Lee.
Hi Ann – Was the phone case snazzy? Glad you like the giveaway! Good to know – Jade Lee is awesome! 🙂 Have you seen The Groom’s Gamble: A Novella is FREE right now! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by!
I actually received great gifts this year from homemade lotion to Harry and David Fruit of the Month for three months.
I don’t know what book I would want…all great authors! Maybe Jeanne’s novella….Or, any, LOL!
Love the idea of homemade lotion and Harry & David for THREE months – lucky duck! Yup, all the booty here is FAB – thanks for stopping by! Happy Reading! 🙂
I can honestly say that I did not receive a bad gift this year. We kept things low-key and got our fur babies the family gift (a cat tree) everything I enjoy everything I got this year. Thankful <3
That’s awesome! I love it when the gifts work out! Sounds like a few happy cats too! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Worst gift, a scarf that I am allergic to (broke out in hives on my neck). I would love The Tentacle Affaire!
Mary – hives as a result of anything stinks! Hope you have recovered as well as the person who gave it to you! Tentacle Affaire is a fabulous story! I can’t wait for the next one! Good luck and thank you for stopping by!
worst gift: my 2 year old throwing up on me lol (I only got 1 real gift this year, a kindle) I would love to read baby steps!!!! The cover is adorable!
Oh no Amy- so sorry to hear that your DD was sick. But how sweet – a new Kindle! Baby Steps is awesome!!! Good luck 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
