Happy Freebie Friday!
UPDATE: The winner of KISS AT YOUR OWN RISK by Stephanie Rowe is Kirsten. Congrats! Please send your addy to Contests(AT)KnightAgency.net. For everyone else (and Kirsten too), you'll definitely want to check out Stephanie's KISS AT YOUR OWN RISK in the blog post above.
It's the best day of the week! Well, except for the fact that the weekend's been stuck on repeat for the past five days around here. Who knew you could have too much of a good thing!?
In the Atlanta-area, the Snowpocalypse shut everything down. The local Starbucks was running dangerously low on coffee, the 24-hour Walmart was open for less than 10 hours a day, and driving became hazardous to your health. All the while, Northerners rolled their eyes as we boo-hooed over a few inches of snow. To be fair, if you don't have the equipment beautiful white fluffy flakes become dangerous ice patches. Just ask one of my BFFs who is now sporting crutches. Ah well. The sun is shining, and the temp is rising. So, enough snow already!
We have lots of great news to catch up on, including two New York Times bestseller hits this week for Gena Showalter and Faith Hunter. We also have a giveaway from Stephanie Rowe who will be kicking off an awesome contest in our newsletter next week, as well as chatting with us on Thursday, January 20th @ 9pm ET. Without further ado...

I can't go anywhere online without seeing Amy Chua defending her book, THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE TIGER MOTHER. Though I personally think denying your child bathroom breaks until they get a piano piece correct is erring on the side of crazy (not to mention messy), you can't deny there's something to be said for demanding excellence from your kids. But as a single, kid-less woman I'm on the outside looking in. Happily. What do you think? - Washington Post

As far as the snow... I know what you mean! Here in Alabama (my part) we practically got 3 inches of snow and inch of ice. Made the roads hazardous for many days to come. I am also glad things are finally thawing around here! I love snow, but not this much.
I've read some good reviews for this book.It sounds good.
Really looking forward to this one. Thanks for the chance!

I've so been looking forward to this one - love tortured heroes!
No snow here in S. TX but it's cold enough to keep you inside. I really didn't know the days could get and stay this gray. If I don't see the Sun soon I'm going to go nuts. annhonATaolDOTcom
