Holiday Blog Hop?
I know what you’re thinking. Man, it is way too early to be thinking about the holidays. Well, you’re right (unless you’re talking about Halloween, which is next week). But seriously, it always freaks me out when I get catalogues for Christmas stuff in August (right after the Halloween stuff that comes in July), so I feel you. But there’s something to celebrate, here. Namely Naughty & Nice, a compilation of holiday stories from three of my favorite authors, Ruthie Knox, Molly O’Keefe and Stefanie Sloane, which is to be released on November 5th.
$1.99 for all this goodness? You heard that right! In fact, the cover alone should make it an auto-buy! See for yourself (and if you click on the image, it takes you to Romance @ Random’s main site for the hop:
And of course, this being a blog hop and all, R@R is giving away a ton of goodies:
· 15 Net Galley Preview copy winners of Naughty & Nice
· 5 ABOUT LAST NIGHT paper giveaways (US only)
· Grand Prize of $15 Gift Certificate to eRetailer of choice!!

One random commenter will be selected. U.S. only, please. Contest ends 10/30 at 9pm PDT.
Happy hopping, and good luck!
Hate Christmas catalogues in August! Way too early. I’m not thinking Christmas till at least October.
Hate them, I am still upset seeing things like trees in home depot in October. I don’t even want to think about Christmas shopping yet. Of course I love the holiday season I just like them at the time they are supposed to be! 🙂
hate ANYTHING Christmas before November. its just so wrong
I can’t help but think that this early early early holiday stuff is the retailer’s way of saying “buy early, buy often?” I find everything being pushed up now–so much more than even 10 years ago. Why?
I agree it’s way to early, but reading these wonderful stories will put us in the mood!!! I will admit, I have already bought two ” little” presents! The problem is remembering where I hid them! :). Thanks for the giveaway!
Yep–too early. Christmas catalogs seem like a waste of paper until at LEAST November 1st.
Yes, August is to early.
Think it’s too early.
Hate them! My last name is Specter, so you know I have to LOVE Halloween! I want to enjoy it to its absolute fullest before I think about any other holiday.
im not a fan of anything christmas until after thanksgiving! (unless it is a romance novel!) thanks for the giveaway.
I think everyone is in accord, here. I mean, who doesn’t think August is too early for winter holiday stuff?
