DELILAH'S BIRTHDAY LOVE GIVEAWAY DAY ONE

Hey everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. I know I did. It was my birthday yesterday! That's right today I am officially one year older than I was yesterday. And nothing is better than getting presents on your birthday! I always receive the most wonderful gifts this time of the year but people who know me best will tell you that I am more of a giver than receiver. No dirty replies to that last comment necessary! Oh who am I kidding I know what blog I write for. ;)

So today, and Monday the 15th and Monday the 22nd, I'm giving away some loot that I have been saving up for this very occasion. I was fortunate enough to attend this year's RT Convention and I scored some great books and swag and I lugged all this loot home to give away to all of you guys, our wonderful readers. Megan got a big old box of all the swag from RT from me to give away all year long and now I'm going to give away all of the books I scored along with some I have bought and some other goodies to go with it. So make sure you stop back and enter each of those weeks for some more yummy Birthday goodness! Check out what I have in today's Birthday Prize Pack below!

  2. I don't know if I had a favorite gift for my birthday, its probably more when my friends and family take time out to spend with me... Better if they buy me alcohol!

    Happy Birthday Delilah, aren't we supposed to be giving you gifts?

    The best birthday gift I ever received was a surprise kitten. My awesome, amazing, wonderful boyfriend blindfolded me & drove me to an animal hospital, carried me inside & handed me a little kitten. We lived in an apartment at the time & we werent allowed pets. So, he had called the landlord & made arrangements to pay extra every month for me to keep my little kitty :) Such a sweet gift! I adore him :)

    Thank you for this giveaway! I want the Tessa Dare signed paperback so much!! And I loved The Hellion Bride so much. Would love to own it!!

  4. Glad you had a great birthday!
    First....I really, really want that Sarah MacLean book :) Love her stories!
    I guess my favorite birthday gift when I was a child was my first Care Bear. I was crazy for them when the first came out in the 80's and I wanted a specific one (who was popular). It had to have been crazy hard for my parents to find it considering my birthday is 5 days before Christmas. All these years later and I still have him :)

  18. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Delilah!

    This past August I turned 40 (can't believe I just typed that). My husband took me on a cruise to the Caribbean- it was amazing. But as far as gifts go, my favorite would have to be my Pandora bracelets. I'm not much of a jewelry person, necklaces for some reason trigger migraine headaches so I typically avoid most jewelry. However, I have completely fallen in love with Pandora bracelets. I have 6 now. While we were on the cruise my husband bought me some new charms in Roatan, Honduras. I love them even more because I can say we bought them in an exotic location.

    Great giveaway, thanks!

    1. Thank you so much! Oh don't worry about 40, that's nothing. Believe me on that!! A cruise, oh that sounds just awesome, what a great gift!! Pandora bracelets are awesome and what is great is that you can look back at those charms and each one will mean something to you. :)

  21. Happy Birthday Delilah! My favorite birthday gift was a surprise party given by my husband. I am extremely nosey and he pulled it off. I didn't have a clue. He had it at a restaurant and told me just that he was taking me out for my birthday. When we got to the restaurant, there were 35 of my friends and family yelling surprise. It was the best birthday present and the food was good too. LOL thanks for having the birthday giveaway Delilah.

It was the thought that he cared and went out and got it all for me. thanks!!

  32. Hi Delilah!

    I'm glad that you had a wonderful birthday! Many years ago my husband decided that a birthday was actually an anniversary as well so that we could have even more to celebrate about!

    I'm going to have to tell him how you celebrate - by sharing great books with others! You may have just added more fun to our annual birthdays!

    What was your favorite thing about RT this year? My dream is someday to be able to attend just one time. As a reader my one wish is to someday be able to meet the wonderful authors like you that had filled my life with pleasure by reading their books!

    Congratulations - your now one day closer to celebrated your next birthday!

    1. I almost forgot to tell you my favorite birthday gift!

      Since my birthday is on November 22nd it often falls on Thanksgiving week (in fact this year it's on Thanksgiving) and so when I was growing up it usually got put to the side while preparing for a big family gathering.

      My husband changed all that and the first year we were married he took over all the preparations of preparing for the holiday and even made a from scratch pumpkin pie (my favorite) and put candles on it for me to blow out!

      He was in the Navy (Vietnam) and had gotten safely home from a deployment just a week before and him being home was the best birthday gift I ever receive!

      Delete
    2. Jeanne what a great story and birthday present!! Your hubby is the best!! I hear you about getting shafted on your birthday because it is around the holiday. My husband's birthday is around Thanksgiving and my youngest son's is around Christmas and my oldest son's is around Easter. Someone always is getting shafted because the holiday is more important even when we try hard not to let that happen! But we try hard every year to make it special.

      I have to say that my favorite thing about RT was meeting the authors. Being able to talk with the talented women (and men) that write the books that I love so much was a huge thrill for me. It was an honor to meet everyone from the amazing Anne Rice to J.R. Ward to one of my all time favorite authors Joey W. Hill. I highly recommend that if you ever get the chance to attend any of the conventions or even a book signing where you can meet someone you admire do it. It is an experience I will never forget!

      Delete
    3. Delilah -

      I've been trying to convince my husband for years to let me go to one of the conventions. Great, he finally says that it might be a fun thing to do next year but thinks that him going with me would be a great idea!

      How am I suppose to flirt with the handsome hunks if he's there with me? He told me he doesn't want me to "go alone" because he's afraid "other men" might approach me!

      I tried reminding him to remember we've been married for 42 years and I'm going to be 65 ("figgin") years old so I think it's safe enough to venture out on my own! On the other hand maybe all the younguns would distract him and give me the time to check out the hot young male cover models!


      Delete
    4. Jeanne I'm totally laughing about your husband wanting to go! Tell him, and this is the truth, that there is so much estrogen in those conventions that he won't be able to breathe! While there are some husbands of authors (and also a few male authors) that are there the absolute majority are women. And while you might be able to get your picture with one of the passing male cover hotties tell your husband he has nothing to worry about!! It is nothing but women all there for the same reason, their love of books and reading. If anything I think he would be more distracted there than you!! LOL

  33. Happy Birthday!!!!!I hope it is the best one yet. ^_^
    My favorite birthday present would have to be when I got a kitten or when I got a whole slew of books. yes kittens rank up there with books, as well as swag. LOL Have a lovely birthday!!!

  36. I hope you had the Best Birthday EVER!!!

    My best birthday gift ever was my husband. That's right I got married the day before my birthday a little over 15 years ago. T

    The only thing I didn't consider at the time was that my birthday was in the middle of May until a couple years later when we had our first daughter. My poor hubby now gets stuck with our anniversary, mothers day and my birthday all in the same week. He is great about it and refuses to put them all together like I tell him to!
