THIS DAILY CONTEST IS CLOSED!

Today’s book is Anya Bast’s fabulous anthology – HOT FOR THE HOLIDAYS (so many great authors in this one!)

Four bestselling authors invite readers to spend the night with these never-before-published novellas spiced with sexy romance and paranormal passion. So come in out of the cold and experience the thrill of a soul-stirring new tale of the Breeds from Lora Leigh, a return to the beguiling world of the Mageverse from Angela Knight, and two more mesmerizing and unexpected stories of sensual surprises and seasonal spirits from Anya Bast and Allyson James.

Anya’s novella is titled Sweet Enchantment. It provides a first taste of the world in which her new Dark Magick series is set.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you have any guilty pleasures? If so, what are they?

I’ll choose a winner via random.org and post it first thing in the morning. WINNERS HAVE SEVEN DAYS TO CLAIM THEIR PRIZE!

    My guilty pleasure is reading in the tub with a good book, and of course, with the door locked to keep the wee bairns away. 😉

    A guilty pleasure, you ask? Hmmm, how about the abundant amount of paranormal and urban fantasy novels stacking my bookshelves, that my parents have no what they are about. They think that I’m mature enough to read responsibly, and I am, they just don’t know how responsibly. 😀

    Guilty pleasures…I have plenty of them. A serious addiction to tattoo’s I have somewhere around 26 and many more in the planning stages. I own over 300 bound books and something like 200 ebooks. I have over 300 movies at last count. And a serious love of music that has me buying cd’s with a passion. I also love to cook and bake and of course eat. So ya a couple of guilty pleasures here.

    My guilty pleasures include taking a day off work without letting my husband know, so that I can read until noon. Chocolate is practically a given, and a bubble bath when I should be doing something, or martinis at home are all hidden/guilty pleasures.

    Mmm there are lots of pleasures like my husband, bittersweet chocolate and mashed potatoes with tons of butter.
    But guilty ones.. playing Bubbles when I should be doing housework and reading book blogs when I should be doing housework.

    Oh! This question has the potential to cause a stir! My biggest and most rewarding “guilty pleasure” is books! A pleasure because of the intellectual entertainment value, “guilty” because of the huge dent it continues to put in my pocket book!

    I read all the time – evrywhere. I should be doing other things, like cooking or cleaning but I sneak upstairs and read on my computer. I also have books in all the bathrooms and on the kitchen and livingroom tables just so I can read. The worst is the books in the car so I can read when I et stuck by a train or when I am early for an appointment, i sit in the car and read.
