Trust me, you want this book.
I got an ARC, and it’s fab. I just have a thing for heroes with long, silky black hair. Top Dollar from The Crow, anyone? Then add in the whole “man of strong passions, who controls them with his iron will” thing? Yummy!
I’m on my way out the door to mail prizes (if you won a book from me this week, it’s going out in today’s post), so I don’t have time to come up with a clever contest at the moment. So this one’s dead simple: if you want it, say so in comments.
To pick a winner, I’m gonna use a random number generator and match it against the comments, which means if you comment more than once, you’re entered more than once. I guess it’s just a matter of how bad you want Anya’s book! I’ll announce on Monday sometime and ship the book to you via Amazon, which means you should get it shortly after release. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves about your favorite Anya titles or what you thought of Witch Fire.
Note: No spamming, five word minimum, no random links, and your post must have content of some kind. (Saying you’d really love to read the book because Anya is awesome, and you’d like to knit her a sweater for Christmas is perfectly acceptable.)
And go!
well i would love to read this book, it sounds wonderful.. and the cover is awesome.. i am hoping to order a copy of Grimspace too this weekend…
i will be back to catch up and post again after work..
I’d love to win a copy of WITCH BLOOD!
I would love to read Witch Blood. I love the cover.
I would love to read it also!
I would love to get this one.
I love Anya’s books they are great.
Hey, my last post just got erased, so this should count as two entries. (Says Angie…working it)
The WITCH BLOOD cover looks amazing and if it has been stamped with the Ann Aguirre seal of Fab-Dom, you know it has to be good. Sign me up!
I loved reading Witch Fire and I’d love get an ARC of Witch Blood! :)
I can’t stop looking at that cover, it’s ridiculously awesome! Look at her hair!
I’ve been thinking about dying my hair red, although I don’t know if it would suit me..
Anya’s EMBRACED and SEASONS OF PLEASURE series are two of my all time favorites.
Witch Blood sounds like another fabulous read from Anya!
I love the cover, count me in for the draw! (I WOULD LOVE A COPY)
Bwah!
Thank you, Ann. :) I’m so glad you enjoyed Witch Blood. Means a lot since I think you’re a kick-ass writer chick. *g*
I plan to buy this one. I think it will be better than Witch Fire. I think the set up with revenge and all has the potential to bring more emotion and passion into it. Not that there was anything wrong with Witch Fire, but the set up of witch and doesn’t know it is one I’ve seen just a bit too much.
This has nothing to do with anything. I just feel like sharing.
I’ve switched shampoos to Pantene Extra Brilliance. So far, I’m really pleased with it.
And the best thing I ever bought for my nails was a Sally Hansen Quick Color pen. I can do my nails in less than 10 minutes now! And they look really good. Diamond Strength is pretty nice too. Now my nails no longer chip or break. *end infomercial*
Lol, Ann! I love Dove Shampoo, like seriously it rocks. Especially the Advanced Care shampoo and conditioner (the blue bottle!) I don’t think I’ve ever tried Pantene, I try to stick to one brand because I’ve heard changing shampoo’s a lot can damage hair.
My nails look absolutely horrible, since for nursing school, they don’t like it when we have painted nails, and they have to be extremely short so we don’t spread bacteria, I understand that but I still don’t have to like it! I mean, sheesh it’s been MONTHS since I’ve painted my nails! And I’m so used to having them long and painted, too.
I would love to read Anya’s book. I’m reading Grimspace right now and it’s fantastic!
Wendy, I hadn’t heard that about shampoos. Hm…
Wow, thanks, Katherine! I’m glad you liked Grimspace. Feel free to hang around and talk about your favorite beauty supplies.
:D
Pick me! Pick me!
Now that I’ve finished my number one pick on my TBR pile (Grimspace!), I’m ready for something new.
Oooh, what about makeup?! I loves Rimmel London – especially their Extra Super Lash mascara, it’s great!
ok im home from work.. so i will say it again.. I would love this book…lol..
So I can’t just say, “Me, want that mucho, gimme!!!”?
It’s five words!
Shampoo: I’ve heard that bit but I’m the
cheapest homost frugal person ever, so I grab whatever is on sale. I’m also a lucky bitch, ’cause so far there’ve been no ill effects from it.And I’m wondering… what’s wrong with more and more and more Grimspace contests?
(That’s how I got my most wonderful ARC that I got to read before anyone else *evil cackling laugh in the background* Not that I like to rub that in people’s faces or anything…)
Azteclady, HA! you can’t rub it in my face because I got an ARC of it, too *sticks tongue out* backatcha babe!
But but… Well, I got mine first, and I’ve already reviewed it so THERE!!!
I already reviewed too! Like weeks ago HAHAH!
You are mean.
Wanna be my new bestest forever friend???
Aside: you people who actually, like, have nails, and you know, do your nails?
I hate you.
You’re mean too. We would be fabulous friends so yes!!
You know what I heard? That if you want your nails to grow, put on fake ones and that somehow makes them grow..or something. All I know is that my mom seems to think it works. But she’s prone to biting them and I guess putting on fakes hides them so she can’t bite them. Ew!
Well, see, my problem is that I am a power tool kinda gal. And I garden. And play iwth (and bathe) my German Shepherd mix and my yellow Lab… so the problem is not that my nails don’t grow (they do) it’s that there’s no manicure that can resist me.
Ah well *shrug* I can always wear gloves if I ever want to fake a ladylike demeanor, no? *rolling eyes*
Maybe there’s some long-wear polish that you can put on top of the color polish so it lasts?
Ladylike demeanor? Like, what is that?
My mother–the eternal optimist–keeps making me try all sorts of nail polish. You know the one that promises to withstand everything including a fire? *ahem* Nothing works. I’m hell on my nails.
Ladylike demeanor: that’s my mother for you. She thinks that if I wear a dress or a skirt (ugh) and I don’t know, heels or something, people will believe I’m all nice and stuff.
Nails don’t have to painted to be pretty – believe me. Since I can’t paint them (stupid school rule..) I try to keep them clean and nice. So you could try that and not worry about having them painted anymore.
A.. skirt? heels? NICE? Your mom’s clearly an alien.
Worse, Wendy. My mother IS a lady *sigh*
What’re you gonna do, right?
*horrified gasp* Eh, lady.. alien.. same thing!
Right! well, you could just tell her that you can’t be getting all these “ladylike demeanors” because the world would come to an end.
*laughing* Nothing else has worked so I’ll give this one a try!
Now, since Ann has given us leave to chat *looking shifty* anyone here knows anything about PDAs/smartphones?
It’s time to upgrade *looking at the poor excuse for a cellphone on my desk* before this one dies on me and I lose all the numbers and stuff in it.
Remember to keep a straight face while telling her this!
Sorry, I know nothing about PDAs/smartphones, have you thought about getting an iphone?
huh… no… but I hear they are expensive. And me? I’m all about not spending money
I do have nails, but they’re brittle and break easily. The minute I get them looking halfway elegant, there they go. This Diamond Strength stuff has been a godsend. So far my nails look fabulous.
As for Smart Phones, I know nothing. I have a Lifedrive for a PDA and an LG raspberry chocolate phone. I am considering upgrading the phone, but I don’t think I want an all-in-one dealie. I want a sturdy pink Moto.
Oh, right because you’re the
Aren’t PDAs expensive too though?
cheapest homost frugal person ever.Well, the MOTO is what sprint calls a ‘smartphone’ Me, I’m the next thing to a Luddite, so I know nothing. I’m considering getting a Palm Centro… what do you think?
Exactly, Wendy. I’m all about the savings *ahem*
And the thing is, since I’m upgrading with the same plan and provider, I don’t pay full price. I could upgrade to a (regular? normal? basic?) cellphone pretty much for nothing, or pay $50 to $100 for a PDA/smartphone.
Hey, there’s nothing wrong about saving. I’m quite the, um, frugal person, too. (Blame my dad for that)
The Palm Centro looks good! You get pay what? more than $100 for it or get a normal phone practically free – I’d go with the cheap one, it’s the same thing anyway, just a phone.
I have Witch Fire, so for sure I want to read this one. Love that cover, Anya.
Wendy, I would blame my father (and he was quite the tightfisted b… one too) but it’s actually life that has completed the transformation. I’m wavering a bit ’cause I want the pretty cute gadget… but I’ll probably end getting the upgrade that costs me nothing. ‘Cause I’m cheap and stuff.
Covers: oh yes, they are both great covers.
Some people get really lucky with covers and others *shudder* And while it would be nice to remember that what matters is between the covers… well, so many books, how do you chose if you have no other reference, right?
I think that even though there’s nothing wrong with saving, if you have the money, why not just buy it, you know? If you have the money to buy the pretty one then go for it. Think of it as as investment.:)
Yeah, Anya has gotten quite lucky with her books’ covers. There’s some books that even though they’re fantastic have horrible covers, I really don’t like the fact that authors have little say in their books’ covers – it doesn’t make any sense!
Repeat books’ covers three times fast!
books’ covers books’ covers books’ covers…
Like that
You are good at tempting, Wendy… *almost ready to give in to the pretty*
Come, ooooon, azteclady. You know you want the pretty phone, just imagine yourself carrying it around, showing your friends while they “oh! and “ah!” over it and are jealous of you.
How can you say no to such a pretty thing?
Heehee.
Oh you are evil, Wendy. EEEEEEEvil!!!
*imagining my 15yo daughter’s face if I get the pretty Centro*
*imagining the wails of my wallet if I get the pretty Centro*
Geez, this is a much more difficult decision than I thought!
I really like the cover and if the story is just as good I know I’ll love it
Yes! imagine your 15-yr-old daughter, how HAPPY she’ll be when she sees you clutching that pretty wee phone.
And have you heard of selective hearing? Try that with your wallet!
Happy? My daughter? when I get the pretty phone?
*falling on the floor laughing*
Wallet: it’s tempting… so tempting… *looking at the pretty phone some more*
Ok, um maybe she won’t be happy, but she sure will be jealous!
Loooook at the pretty phone, imaging it calling your name “…azteclady..azteeeeclaaaady..you know you want me.”
oh man, I’m such a dork, lol!
*laughing even louder*
Yes, you are a dork. What’s more, you are an evil dork.
*listening to the phone’s siren’s song*
Aw, you’re so sweet! what a nice compliment.
Yeah, you can’t get the phone’s little Hawaiian tune out of your head, can you??! (I don’t know why it’s Hawaiian, just go with me here!) You get the urge to go hunting for a grass skirt and start shaking it! And the phone’s muttering “Shake it, azteclady! Shake it!!”
I like you, Wendy, I really really like you
(but it’s probably better *looking at hips* if I don’t shake anything)
I keep going back to the page to look at the pretty phone… I’m weakening…
*loud wail from my wallet*
Aha! it was only a matter of time that you succumbed to my charming self, ahem.
Don’t listen to that pesky little wallet! you know it’s only wailing because it’s jealous of the pretty little phone.
What a great cover! I would love to have a chance to win this. :)
I would love to win Witch blood
Wendy and Azteclady you’ll are killing me. I can’t wait to get my copy of Grimspace. Between paying the irs and son graduation from high school I am too poor to pay attention.
As far as I can tell, I don’t think it’ll be released in Australia. (Though there are probably imports floating around.) Me want!
Have a lovely day! :-)
So I have an ARC of Grimspace and now I’m getting a spankin’ new, shiny copy of it from Amazon so I have two copies- what a dilemma! hee!
Ohhh, maybe I should have a contest?!! Ann, what do you think? lol.
I have no idea, but I have an urge to say, “Only you can prevent forest fires.”
Uhm, if you wanna have a contest, go for it!
Oh my goodness – I don’t know how I missed this! I’ve been hearing so much about this book and I would love to read it! … I don’t know how to knit sweaters, but I could do a scarf!
Update: after much debating and wavering, my wallet won. No pretty shiny smartphone for me *sigh*
[Winning argument: think of all the books you can get with $100.00--the shiny didn't have a chance]
Quel coincidence! This book is already on my amazon wishlist. I wouldn’t knit Anya a sweater, but that’s only because I wouldn’t want to subject her to the horror it would turn out to be, since I’m a really terrible knitter.
How about cookies? Does she like cookies?
Azteclady, do hear that? It’s the pretty phone CRYING.
But if that had been me, I would have made the same decision – think of all the books you can buy with a $100! :D
i agree aztec books would win for me too.
100$ worth of books? That’s not even a decision! The shiny shiny new novels easily drown out the phone’s weeping.
I’d love to win this book. The cover is gorgeous.
Wendy, I can’t hear the phone, ’cause my TBB list is crowing and throwing a party
hoping I’m not too late to join the party, I’d love to read a book with a great cover like that (and also because I like to read new authors that I’ve not encountered before :) )
As far as phones go, I’ve got a blackberry pearl great in that it has a qwerty keyboard so I can text but not great in that I have to pay extra for email access (so I don’t have it).
I would love to win the ARC of WITCH BLOOD! Anya is an excellent author and I enjoy her books immensely. I also collect ARCs and WB would be a fabulous addition to my collection. Hmmm..should I mention I was just diagnosed with emphysema and that I’m very depressed? Nah, won’t mention it. Winning this ARC would definitely cheer me but there’s already 71 entries so I won’t hold my breath. Pun intended.
Azteclady, nice! What’s on your TBB list?
mel sorry about your diagnosis.
And… that’s a wrap! I’m locking comments now.
