You enter the contest simply by leaving a comment at the end of this post – but in your comment, please list IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE all three batches (for example, “1. Historical Romance 2. Highlander/Warrior 3. Christmas Theme”). We will randomly select THREE winners – the first winner will get their first preference, the second their highest available preference, the third their highest available preference.

      Steampunk Week

      About Us

      We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. Faced with threats and cynicisms from our significant others and because of the massive amounts of time and money we spend at Amazon.com, we resorted to getting books delivered to our offices and then smuggling them into our homes (in huge handbags) to avoid detection. Here we found a perfect outlet for our obsession! Reviews, recommendations, and other ponderings are our specialty.
