Love Inspired Books discussion

Do you like FREE books? Well, we have a deal for you! Some of your favorite authors have donated some of their books to give away. Here's the catch: You have to GIVE a book away to GET a book.

But... to sweeten the deal... we're also offering a special challenge to you. Once you get the book, post a review. For every place you post the review (and provide us with the link), you will be entered into a drawing for a bag FULL of books! And, if the person you gave the book to ALSO posts a review, they'll be entered into the drawing, AND you'll get an extra entry!

Here's how to participate:

Each day during the week of January 25th, we're going to offer a different book to give away. Let us know who you would give the book to, and we'll draw winners for the books. We'll send two copies of the book to the winners. One for you, and one for a friend.

Then, once you've read the book, let us know! You have until March 1, 2010 to post your review link to enter to win the bag of books!

To sweeten the deal (as if getting free books can be any sweeter!), we will be running similar giveaways with different authors across our social media spaces. Visit ALL of our social media hubs for more chances to win!

Today's FREE book is The Gladiator by Carla Capshaw.

To be entered in the drawing to win this book, post who who'd give your second copy to and why. We'll draw from the entries tonight at 9pm Eastern.

You can find other giveaways listed here:

I'll be back in the morning to give away another book.

Thank you so much I had this book on my to buy list will send an email. thanks so much.

Congrats Jenny and Jan

I would give the book to my church library or public library.Also know some older ladies that read the same kind of books that I do and I would pass it on to them.Then they could pass it along to someone else.No telling where the places the book will travel!

Today's book giveaway is Dreaming of Home by Glynna Kaye. Let us know who you'd give the book to and why, and you'll be entered in the drawing!Dreaming of Home

I'd give the book to a 75-year-old friend of mine who runs the library at her church and is also in the middle of writing her first romance novel.

If I won the book Dreaming of Home I'd give it to a lady that goes to my church. She is the one who introduced me to Love Inspired books. I didn't even know about them and she knew I enjoyed reading so she gave me a sack of Love Inspired books.

Just checking did you get my email.

Great stories Cammie and Patsy!

Cammie, it's never too late to start on your dreams. That lady is an inspiration!

Patsy, I love people who introduce us to reading.

Jenny, I just replied. Sorry. I've been out most of the day, so I'm just getting caught up on email.

Congratulations Patsy! Please email me at dream.eharlequinhost@gmail.com with your snail mail addy. We'll be giving away more books tomorrow.

well done Patsy.

I just bought this book today at the local bookshop here in Adelaide.

Yes, I won the book! I'm so glad my friend introduce me to the Love Inspired books. I've always love to read but didn't know about these books before. I love em!

Jenny, I'm so glad you guys are finding more of the books in Australia! I have a friend there who also loves the books.

Today's book giveaway!!

We're giving away A Match Made in Texas by Arlene James!!

Let us know who you'd give the book to, and why, and you'll be entered in the drawing!

I know Arlene James is a great author also. I think I would give this book to a lady that loves to read but she is in an assist living home.

Question, if we win say on Twitter can we enter to win on here and the other sites too? I didn't win yet just wondering :-P

xoxo~ Renee

Ohh A Match Made in Texas...hmmm I would have to say my new friend Jen would like this one. She's a fan of the LI books AND she's from Texas!!!!

xoxo~ Renee

I am still gonna say the library or a family member.

I would offer the book to my waitress Brandi. She works so long and hard trying to take care of her little family. She loves to read and that's her way of "winding down" at the end of a busy day.

I'd give my book to the public library here. I know someone is about to enjoy it as much as me. Right now, they have tons of harlequin books but all in a very used state. It would be nice to send them a book that is kept together nicely with no bends.

Duplicate winners... the honest answer is maybe. I do draw randomly, and on some of the giveaways, we only have a few entries, and those have won before. So far, I haven't had any duplicate winners. But I definitely recommend that if you haven't won anything yet, check out all of our sites tomorrow.

And the winner is... Trinh!! Congratulations!! Please email me at dream.eharlequinhost@gmail.com with your name and snail mail addy.

Oh wow! How unbelievable thank you very much! I can't wait to share this with my library for others! I have emailed, but what does 'snail mail addy' mean?

Oh! Yeaa!~~ Whaa... Really? Thank you so much. I just sent an email, but what does snail mail addy mean?

Well done Trinh winning is so cool.
I got another love inspired book today in the city.
Its so cool they are here and only 3 months behind Dec should be here soon.

Snail mail addy is your physical mailing address. :)

Today's giveaway is from Allie Pleiter!! I'm not 100% sure which book we're doing. It will either be her soon to be released Easter book, or her Christmas book. So let us know who you'd give the book to and why, and you'll be entered in the drawing.

I'm also going to give extra time on this one, since it is our last one of this promotion. So you have until 10pm Eastern on Sunday to enter. I'll be back later with links to our other giveaways, so you can try to win a few more books. :)

I would either donate this book to the public library or my church library. I will also check and see if nursing and assisted living homes have a library. I know some of the people there still enjoy reading.

I would give this tomy friend Carol. She lovrs these books and could use the pick-me-up right now.

I would give mine to the hospital or make the book one of those travelling/moving books. I forget the name of this. Where you register the books online and release them out in the wild for other people to find. There's hardly any in my city so I'd probably do this.

I'd give one to my friend, Kayla. She and her husband are the couple that my husband and I hang out with the most (have over for dinner, go to church, etc.). I usually recommend good books to her, so this would be one I could actually give to her!

I'd give it to my local library. We've already given half a dozen to them from ones I've won on different blogs and I've noticed they are being read. Not by a huge amount of readers, but it's getting the word out.

Hehehe...Are you talking about me? ;)

I would give one to my church library...we had some pipes burst in the children's building when we had freezing weather and it flooded the hallways and library and classrooms. I don't know how many books got ruined, but they've had to close it down till they get everything fixed and have had to move the babies into another hallway. Thanks goodness it's a big church, but it still leaves us in a bind when they have to cram more kids in a classroom than usual.

Oh I really hope its the Easter one. lol I would give it to the library or a family member. :)

Hehehe...Are you ta..."

LOL yep I was talking about you!

I would love to win any of Allie's books! I would share it with my frined Donna from Ohio! She's a bit stressed dealing with highschool/pre-nursing school and one of these books would DEFINITELY help her to unwind!

I've never read any of Allie's books. I'd give a copy to my friend Brandie. She is always doing so much for me and loves to read as much (if not more!) than I do! She called me today and needed a few more good books to read!

You should! They're good.

I would give the book to my friend, Iris. We've been friends for a long time. She's always on the lookout for a GOOD book!
