Wednesday is my actual birthday, but as some of you know, I usually have a month long celebration on my blog here. I didn’t do it this year…obviously, but never fear, I’ll be back to it next year with authors and bloggers telling stories and giving away presents to readers. For now, though, you’ll have to settle for it just being me.
Presents this year will consist of books (including my new release, Forever In Blue Jeans, book 3 in my Blue Jeans and Hard Hats series), gift cards, tote bags, coffee items, cupcake items, and the big one…no, not an ereader, not an iPad, we authors do those all the time, but rather, a Keurig.
Yes, this one. It brews 3 cup sizes, you can program the time on and time off, even program the water temperature. I adore mine. Y’all know I adore mine. Unless I’m having iced coffee crack, I use my Keurig every day. It might be for hot water to make hot chocolate for the family, or to use the already hot water for instant oatmeal, but it gets used every day. You can get tea, coffee, and cocoa in K-cups. I generally prefer the coffee or tea or just hot water. I don’t care for the hot cocoa K-cups, but that’s just me, I know others who love them.
So, that’s the birthday list… Don’t be surprised though, if I change it up a little and add a few other little things here and there.
Today, is a tote bag I found at Barnes and Noble. It’s bright, colorful, and perfect for toting books.
I know many still read print books, but whether you do or not, you can never have too many tote bags (okay, you can because I’ve been told I have too many, but…I don’t listen and neither should you). Along with the tote bag, you will receive 3 books. What 3 books is up to you. Whether digital or print (up to $15 per book), is up to you.
What do you have to do?
Tell me what 3 books or what series you’ve always wanted to read, but just never have.
Are there classics like Linda Howard, Julie Garwood, Elizabeth Lowell, or Susan Johnson that you’ve never read and wanted to?
What about Nalini Singh, Larissa Ione, or J. R. Ward?
How about Shayla Black or Maya Banks? Delilah Devlin? Lori Foster? Dakota Cassidy?
Mari Carr? Vivian Arend? Cat Johnson? Melissa Schroeder? Samantha Kane? Cherise Sinclair? Moira Rogers? Eliza Gayle?
Tessa Dare? Jess Michaels? Julia Quinn? Lisa Kleypas? Nicole Jordan? Courtney Milan?
There are so many to choose from and those names above don’t even scratch the surface of good books out there. I haven’t read even a fraction of all the books I want to read, of all the books I keep saying I’ll get to just as soon as I can. So, tell me, what do you want to read that you simply haven’t yet?
The winner of the tote bag and books will be chosen Friday by noon and posted Friday afternoon. There will be giveaways all week long here on my blog. There will be one on my Facebook Fan Page as well, along with one during the Author Chat at Righteous Perverts on Wednesday night, February 22nd. So, feel free to come by and ‘Like’ my Fan Page, feel free to drop by the chat Wednesday night and meet some authors and fellow readers. Of course, none of these extras are required, but I did want to give you the options of all presents.
Most questions you’ll have to answer this week are about birthdays, so…be ready to divulge information. 😉
Have a great Monday, y’all… Oh, and don’t forget, you have until 6PM EST today (Monday, February 20th) to enter to win books or M&M’s from my celebratory post after Kyle Busch and the #18 M&M’s Toyota won the Budweiser Shootout in Daytona on Saturday night. Click here to be taken to that post…

Happy Birthday week!!!!
Awesome prizes.

Hi
Happy Birthday!! My birthday is also in February – it is a great month 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
The series that I am looking forward to starting is Lisa Marie Rice’s Protector’s Series.

I’m behind on so many popular series, it’s ridiculous! I’ve been told that Kate Pearce’s House of Pleasure is a great series. I think book #7 was just released, so I have some catching up to do. 🙂
Happy Birthday, Lissa!
Happy Birthday Week Lissa!
How appropriate that your birthday week is the week leading up to Daytona!!!
As for series I’d like to read but haven’t yet, Moira Rogers “Southern Arcana” series.
On another note, I get teased all the time about having “too many” tote bags, but I do not agree! Besides, when not being used as a tote bag, they make great storage bags!
YEAH!! Hope you have an awesome birthday week!
There are so many series I still need to read, but the one foremost in my mind right now is ZA Maxfield’s St Nacho’s series. Since I am on a m/m kick for the last few months. 🙂
I would love to read the Promises series and the
Hell’s Eight Erotic Adventures by Sarah McCarty.
Thanks for sharing your birthday celebration with us, Lissa.
One series that I keep hearing good things about is Gini Koch’s, Alien series. And I am trying to finish up with Rhyannon Byrd’s, Primal Instincts series.

Well, I recently read Girl With The Dragon Tattoo so I can finally take it off my super sized read-it list. I think the next series on my read-it list is Shiloh Walker’s Ash Trilogy. I have book 1 in Mount TBR but books 2 and 3 sounds amazing!
Happy Birthday! And, I am glad you are still loving your Keurig. Those darn things are seriously addictive!

Happy Birthday Week!! That is such a cute bag!
So three books I have to choose? That’s not easy! Well, to be honest, I haven’t read your books yet, and I have been dying to. *hangs head in shame* I just haven’t gotten to them yet, but I will! Promise! I want to read Simple Need by you. Then I want to read Yellow Ribbons by Caitlyn Willow. Curio or Willing Victim by Cara McKenna. Oh! Strangers by Barbara Elsborg or Pulled By Amy Litchenhan. I could go on and on. 🙂
Happy Birthday Lissa! I would like to read (or have time to read!) The Lords of Deliverance by Larissa Ione. Also the last book in the Sweet series by Maya Banks, the Play by Play series by Jaci Burton…Sarah Mccarty’s new series, the Shadow Reapers and I better stop now or I’ll fill this page up! lol

Happy Birthday! I’ve been wanting to finish Jaci Burton’s Play by Play series or start Mari Carr’s Wild Irish series. Hmmm choices choices! Can’t wait for Forever in Blue Jeans.
Thanks!

Happy Birthday, I would have to say Maya Banks Sweet series. Got book 1 but then work and life got in the way and then I lost my job after 15 years as a manager at Borders book store so now I have time to read and to an extent I read at least 2 books a day. But i keep forgetting to read the sweets series because all my authors have newer books coming out.
The books/series that I’d like to read & haven’t yet are:
*The Hunger Games series (the girls @ work are all readng & raving about it) *the Millenium series (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is book 1)
*Lora Leigh’s shifter series (I think it’s called the Breed series).

I would like to read Joey W. Hill’s Vampire Queen series. I recently received book 8 and started reading it but realized I really need to start from the beginning.
Happy Birthday Lissa!
I tend to find new series to read all the time. The series I am dying to read next most of all is Jaci Burton’s Wild Rider’s Series.
But today will be spent reading Forever in Blue Jeans by my favorite author Lissa Matthews!

Would love to read the Rogue Mage series by Faith Hunter, I LOVE her Jane Yellowrock series but haven’t gotten around to the other series. Digital edition for nook or kindle. And, Happy Birthday!
