Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

Based on a discussion in a separate thread, Pay-It-Forward RRRC Style, it had been agreed upon to try a book-sharing program, where we can raffle books that we don't need or have duplicates or just want to share with other members.

RULES:
1. Only participate if you are willing to share a book.
2. The one who is mailing the book will shoulder the postage.
3. Please specify in advance if you are willing to mail within a certain region (North America, Europe, etc.) or worldwide.
4. Books shared should be in good condition: no torn/missing pages, etc.
5. If you have other rules, be sure to post it before starting the raffle.
6. The person doing the raffle has the final say in any dispute.
7. The time frame for the raffle may change depending on the person doing the raffle.
8. If you win a book, you must claim your prize and post the new raffle within 5 days. If you don't, a new winner will be chosen.

Be aware that this is done in the spirit of giving. Again, if you win, please do not break the chain. Remember, when you sign up, it is with the agreement that in case you win, you will do the next raffle.

Valerie will stop by soon and open her raffle. :)

But this thread (#2) is specfically for ppl who are happy to post internationally, isn't it? ie No need to specify in advance if they are happy to post overseas or not...?? (Just 'cos the name implies it...) :)

IIRC - DG is going to edit the thread title depending on if the person who wins the previous one is willing to send overseas

Valerie already told me she's willing to ship both US & Overseas, that's why it's in the name. For the next person, I'll change the name of the thread as needed because the person who wins this raffle may not be able to ship overseas.

Oh - OK. ...what does IIRC mean again?? (SLOWLY getting there on the abbreviations!!) :)

IIRC - if i recall correctly

IIRC = If I remember correctly. :)

LOL!! Thanks - both work! :)

Ok, here we go! I'm willing to ship overseas and the US.
My books are all used, and are in really good shape.

I will select the winner Thursday (3/24) around noon pacific daylight time, since I'm in California!

Sci-Fi Romance


Urban Fantasy


Historical Romance
(this is as close as I get to historical, I'm on Photojim's team when it comes to this genre)


Contemporary Romance


Cozy Mystery


Paranormal Romance
(My favorite genre, hence the large choice!)


Romantic Suspense


Wow, I may have went a little overboard, but I wanted everyone to have a good selection to choose from (hopefully Rossy, I have something you can select!).

OOooooh - what a great list Valorie!!

Could you please put me down for...Born of the Night. ...Had troule choosing :)

can you put me in for Key to Conspiracy it sounds interesting...can I read book 2 stand-alone, or should i try to find book 1?

Soooo close Valorie. I have read some and others i own, so not this time. But at least now i have more chances so i can get rid of at least some of my books!LOL

I can say that I really enjoyed the Vicki Lewis Thompson book you have listed. The town of Big Knob had me laughing through all the books to date.

And I'm sure that whenever I post a raffle I'll include at least one historical romance as well. It will be the only book I will not have read.

Could you put me down for Over Hexed? Thanks!

You probably could get away with it, but I'm a big believer in reading series books in order. I would suggest getting the first one if you can.

Gotcha Kristi!

Great list, paranormal romance is also my fav genre. Please put me in for Over Hexed, thanks! :)

I'm going to be off the 'net for the next four days - so if I win (so likely) I won't be able to acknowledge or post my book options until Sunday night (possible Sunday morning your time in the US)...

Just thought I should mention this... ;)

Good luck everyone!

No problem Jane, I'll email you if you win, then I'll wait to hear back from you. No worries.

Valorie, could you please put me down for Over Hexed - thanks!

I wasn't going to do it, but what the heck. Put me down for Born of Night or Better Off Wed. That way if I win, you can flip a coin. Heads it's Born. Tails it's Better.

I've added both Fran & Jim. Sorry I'm late, our power just came back on. It's really windy and snowing here in Northern Cali. Well here we go....

The winner is ....
