Well, here we are firmly in 2010. No going back now. We’re back at work, the kids are back at school, and 2009 is just a memory. A good one, I hope.
Just a reminder that my contest for Release begins next Monday!! I can’t believe it! I have some terrific authors lined up, daily contests and a sweet Amazon gift certificate as the final giveaway. I hope you’ll join me for some fun during the weeks before Release debuts on February 2.
Sometimes I get a little blue this time of year, feeling flat after the holidays and knowing a cold, bitter winter looms ahead. Ugh. But it’s also nice to think about what the year will bring and get back into the swing of things in the book world. In that spirit, I thought it’d be fun to give away a book that doesn’t even come out until tomorrow, Stephanie Tyler’s, “Too Hot To Hold”.
This book looks like a terrific read: Navy Seals and intrigue and hot romance. Lea gave it a terrific review at the Closetwriter blog, so go on over and check it out.
I’ll send a copy of Stephanie’s new book to one random commenter on this post. For the topic, why don’t you tell me what books you are looking forward to in 2010?

Hi Beth,
hmmm… books Im looking forward to in 2010, that’s a good question. I have sadly been extremely lax in looking for and keeping up with up coming releases. My goal for 2010 is to really bust through the books I have, over 100 on the Kindle and another 100 or so stuffed in the closet. I have also decided to read the bible. I didn’t grow up in a home that was devoted to religion, my husband did, and now as one of my New Years Resolutions I have decided to go to church every Sunday that I am in town and read the bible cover to cover. Other than that I guess if a book catches my fancy or I read an excellent review that says to me that the book is a must have then I will snatch up some new ones.

I’m looking forward to two books each from Lisa Kleypas and Barbara Freethy, Beverley Kendall’s Sinful Surrender, Courtney Milan’s Proof by Seduction and Sugar Creek by Toni Blake.
