Summer Beach Reads Contest

63 Seven Rules for Dealing With Non-C... 64 How To Stop Gossiping?

Summer Beach Reads Contest

Summer is here and so is our Summer Beach Reads Contest. I’m giving away two print copies from this list along with my own. I’m also giving away e-copies of books by author Mark Love, Lori Sizemore, Phyllis Cherry, and Kari O’Sullivan.

For those who want to find out more, here’s the list of all these books. The general blurb and links are added. That’s my complete list for summer reads. I’ve read most if not all and will get around to reading them all this summer.

This sweepstakes is open to residents of the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and all other US territories). Entries will be accepted until 11:45 pm, July 31. To sign up for the summer beach reads contest, you can enter below.

Bonus Prize

Everyone wants free stuff! And I’ve got more. Alternatively, you can get an additional print copy of one of these books if you sign up to my newsletter! That’s a bonus prize! Do you feel lucky?

Not only that, for the bonus prize, I’m adding Bowled to the giveaway bag!

I only send the newsletters once a month and they’re super short. So sign up!
