Chicks On Lit discussion

I have been contacted by a couple of people interested in donating a book they have written to our anniversary.
If you are an author (self published or not) and wish to offer a book for our anniversary please contact me on GR or let us know here that you wish to participate and take this time place to tell us about you and your book.
When I know for certain books that are being generously offered by authors I will post them and and everyone who wants to participate in random drawings that day can do so.
Thanks
Tera

I have made contact with all the Goodreads authors that we have read (that are accepting messages). If there are any authors that we have not yet read as a group you would like me to attempt to contact please let me know. If they are not Goodreads authors please let me know of how I might contact them.
Thanks,
Tera

I am SO excited and in awe of the great authors on Goodreads. Already lovely responses and well wishes on our anniversary!

I will update this list as it grows (cross our fingers) but as of this moment...

Andrew Davidson the author of The Gargoyle a COL favorite has responded with congrats and offering up a book.

Beth Hoffman the author of Saving Ceecee Honeycutt has been gracious and also is offering a book.

Erica Bauermeister the author of The School of Essential Ingredients wished us happy anniversary and has offered a copy of her book.

Stephanie Dray is offering a signed ARC of her book Lily of the Nile. Thanks to Tanja for making this contact for us.

Jamie Ford Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet has also generously offered a copy of his book.

Alan Bradley The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie just replied with a lovely note for a happy anniversary for the chicks and has greenlighted 'books' to be given to CoL for giveaway. He has a new book coming out in 3 weeks so maybe that will be the one donated.

Our very own Meg Clayton The Wednesday Sisters has been so gracious and is offering an early copy of her new release The Four Ms. Bradwells: A Novel which isn't set for release until March.

Elizabeth our resident Chick just sent me a copy of a book she editted What ... no landing field?: Adventures of an Alaskan seaplane pilot. She even signed it. She sent me a copy too I'm excited to dive into if my husband doesn't confiscate it first (Alaska is his idea of the final frontier).


Priscilla Warner a newer COL member has contacted me and offered a copy of her book The Faith Club: A Muslim, A Christian, A Jew--Three Women Search for Understanding This looks like a fascinating book.
Keep checking here and I will update it. We will do giveaways on the 14th with a thread just for entries and winners.

Giddy with excitement,
Tera

Wowza! How exciting Tera. Keeping my fingers crossed that you hear from more of our wonderful Goodreads authors. :o)

That's great Tera!!!!!! What a way to celebrate!!

This is awesome!!! Thanks, Tera, for making this happen! How generous and thoughtful of the authors!

Tera, you never cease to amaze me with your awesome-ness! Thank you and to the authors who are participating!

What a great idea, Tera! Thanks for doing this, and for all that you do for CoL.

Fantastic!!! This is really cool..... :)

Yes Tera, thanks for all that you do! You are amazing!! Smiles!

That is amazing! Have you contacted Michelle Moran, she seems to love these kinds of things.

also, I was thinking contacting Carole Fitzgerald with Bookreporter.com and readinggroupguides.com. they love give aways! this is so exciting!

That's a great idea Meg. I sent Ms. Moran a message via GRs I'm not sure how often that is checked though. As of the moment I haven't heard back. I know a lot of times with book tours or other events they can be very busy. I just shot and arrow out and see what it hits. No expectations no loss right?

You do such a great job!

You are awesome, thanks!

This is cool!

This is exciting! Thanks to Tera for setting this up and to the authors who donated!

Thanks, Tera!! That is one fantastic list!! If you haven't read Essential, do so now!! I need to reread mine.

Will all the books be signed?

Happy Anniversary Chicks on Lit and thanks for all that you do for books! ;)

I just wanted to add that I'll be giving away a signed ARC and an ankh charm to remind readers of Cleopatra Selene. Enjoy!
