I don't shop!
Not even for groceries. Not if I can help it. Online shopping is my friend—parking is always great, comparison shopping takes minutes instead of hours, there are no long lines, and best of all, I can...
shop in my jammies.
So this blog is for all you who would rather sleep in your nice comfy bed while everyone else is braving the elements and hostile forces (other shoppers) for those nifty Black Friday specials—the newspaper advertisements nearly filling my recycle bin.
But mostly I buy books. Here’s a great deal for you: the print version of Faery Special Romances (a great Christmas gift for romance lovers from age 14 to 114) is now on sale at Amazon! Regularly priced at $13.45, it’s now on sale for only $2.38!!! That’s for a print book. And you can buy the Kindle version for just $1.99. Can’t go wrong there.
Since Mr R gave me a Kindle last summer, I buy ebooks. Funny thing about ebooks and pricing—they can be really expensive and it’s a mystery why some publishers charge so much. Because I’m a readaholic, I love to find a great book at a bargain price.
Now, wouldn’t you like to win the
Kindle Fire?
Just comment and you’re entered, plus you could win an autographed copy of Much Ado About Marshals (or a Smashwords coupon for a free copy, if you prefer). Be sure to include your email address or you won't be entered into the drawings.
Where are the other 22 authors? Check out Cassandra Carr’s blog! Scroll down and you'll find links to all the authors' blogs. Comment on each blog for a total of 23 chances to win that Kindle Fire, plus you can win other free books along the way!
Good luck, and Happy Shopping!

I'm glad you are part of the Blog Hop, you are a new author to me, it's great finding new ones ;) I will take advantage of your offer and will send you an email shortly for you western historical, thanks for that. Call me crazy, but I don't mind going out in the crowds, we've only been doing this for the last couple of years and we do find some very good deals, for myself and to give as gifts.
Great seeing as part of the Blog Hop. Here I am getting snuggled in my covers, having just braved the crowds close to 2 hours ago, yes am one of those crazy people that ventures out in the middle of the night, just to save some money ;) We only went to 1 store, so it wasn't too bad, did find some very good deals for myself and to give away as presents.

Welcome, Eva! And best of luck winning that Kindle Fire. :) I'll be checking my email intermittently throughout the day. We had a minor set-back (clogged kitchen drain--how glamorous) so our Thanksgiving meal was delayed. But I'll be here and I'll get the Smashwords coupon to you shortly. Thanks!
Awesome giveaway!This fun!

I don't do balck Friday! Me and the hubby went to Best Buy on Wed and people were already camped out in front of the store. I mean literaly in tents. I refuse to be part of that insanity! LOL! I would love to win a Kindle Fire for my mom. Great blog!

What I'd originally said was I'm like you -- I do the majority of my shopping online whenever possible :P
No one in my family will make up a wish list. It's so frustrating and you can not ask them what they want, they will just get mad if you do! Oy.
I do most of my shopping online. Must more easier then fighting all of Long Island.
Thanks for doing such a cool giveaway. I've never done a blog hop before. I'm finding new authors and blogs to follow.
I don't shop on Black Friday, but I do love watching the local news on that day partly because I love to hear about all the fights :)

msgabby(at)gmail(dot)com
I agree, this blog hop has been great fun and finding new authors is the benefit. Great idea! jay9moore@gmail.com
Um, Can you teach my family how to buy off of the amazon wish list :) All I want is books for my kindle and I try and try to explain how to buy from the list and they can't figure it out. I think that is a great way to give gifts is to shop there wish list. Happy Holidays!!!
You're always on these fantastic blog hops. I want to join in, too. :)
I'm like you. I don't do crowds and Black Friday tends to draw those fanatic shoppers who think of nothing of pushing of shoving. I much rather stay home, enjoy a cup of coffee and order online. lol
Take care and thanks for the chance to win. Loved your Much Ado about Marshals. I haven't had the chance to read your Faery Merry Christmas. :)

I love shopping. It's one of my favorite things to do. But I hate shopping on Black Friday...I guess I can't really say that I hate it because I've never shopped on Black Friday. I just know how crowded the mall gets this time of year so can only imagine the chaos today brings. I personally try to finish all of my shopping before Thanksgiving, I'm that person who starts shopping right after Christmas...Clearance baby! This way I can give more to everyone without spending more. But good luck to everyoen out there today battling for great deals :)

I love online shopping. Best thing ever. I hate crowds and dealing with finding a parking space. It puts me in an awful mood and ruins the shopping experience for me almost instantly.

Thanks for the great giveaways.
online shopping is the way to go.even if you're not in the US you can get the deals.

Last year I went out at Midnight for Black Friday shopping with my Mom - Total nightmare (silly us didn't realize people got there at 9). Lines were so long to check out that we just left. Now it's just online shopping for me and an Amazon wishlist to make things easier for others!
Awesome giveaway!

I love black Friday shopping! I just avoid Walmart, Best Buy, and Toys R Us. I use to live near outlet malls that would open at midnight. I'd be done with Christmas shopping before two! :) Thanks for the Blog Hop giveaways! chessa79 (at) gmail (dot) com.
YES! I'm an online shopper too, apart from my groceries uinfortunately but my little girl loves helping me out at the supermarket. It's a bit harder trying on clothes with her, so yes, online shopping all the way.

No shopping for me either, I'm with you there!!
Great book idea for my daughter, thanks for the "in" on the deals!
Thank you for this great giveaway!
mnjcarter@charter.net
@ daydrmzzzz You cannot go wrong with Faery Special Romances. get a copy for yourself as well. MS. Rogers is donating her royalties on that book to the Childrens Tumor Foundation so it would be a double gift. MS. Rogers stories are all very good and always leave me wanting for more.

Don't do Black Friday shopping nor do I do the cyber Monday. I would if I had the money! I would not take my husband, I love him but he would drive me crazy with the complaining! I don't mind the big crowds, I know how to put people on ignore! Love the giveaway!

I don't do Black Friday. I don't like crowds and folks are just down right rude!

Tamaria, isn't it, though? Cassandra really had a great idea! Thanks for stopping by!
Diana, our household runs on Amazon Wish Lists--mostly out of self-preservation. LOL
Rachel, I hear ya, sistah! Online is the only way to go.
Tabitha, my daughter went to a few stores--she had a great time. I'm so glad she did and that I was HOME. LOL.
daydrmzzz, I hope your faery sweet niece enjoys the book, and thanks for visiting today. :)
Romanceaholic, we can buy more and more merchandise online and in Seattle, we can buy our groceries online, too. But I can't get a pair of shoes to fit unless I go to the shoe store.
I agree. Shopping online is the only way to go. Haven't done grocery shopping though. I will have to check into that. Thanks for this awesome giveaway
teressaoliver at gmail dot com
Taryn, that calls for gift certificates to Home Depot. LOL I'm glad you're enjoying the blog hop!
GabbyG, hahaha! Nothing like watching a no-holds-barred fight, and you don't even have to pay for view!
J9, thanks for stopping by! And thanks to Cassandra for thinking of this.
hcnathan, tell everyone you want online store gift certificates. If they buy anything else, return it and spend the money on books! :) Please post another message with your email address so I can enter you in the drawing for the Kindle Fire!
Karen, you have a Christmas story, too. I hope everyone reads Wanted. :) Thanks for stopping by. And yes, we should do this more often.
Kimmyl, we sure have a lot of votes for online shopping. Then again, I guess if we didn't feel that way, we'd be braving the crowds like most of the rest of the USA. Shudder.
Tonya, I never have had the courage to brave the Black Friday crowds, either. The normal Christmas shopping day is more than I want to deal with. You and my sister. I start shopping about Dec. 15. Love 2-day shipping!
Shopping in my jammies sounds good to me. I never participate in the shopping frenzy, and I'm not going to start this year.

Online shopping is the best way to shop on Black Friday. No lines and it's not hectic. I'm trying it next year. Great giveaway. Thanks for the chance.

When the kids were little I did venture out to the stores on Friday to get the goodies. One year they wanted pound puppies. So I waited in line at the store that had advertised them. When the store opened we all rushed in and went in all directions. Of course I went to the toy section.
No puppies. Came to find out that the store put out 4 puppies in 4 different locations of the store. A lot of people were very upset and yelling at the service desk. They finally brought out the entire shipment, so we all got what we wanted. I don't shop on Friday anymore. lol
This year I found something else to do, blog hopping.
luvfuzzzeeefaces at yahoo dot com.
My idea of a good way to spend a Black Friday is to travel along a blog hop like this one! I'm a firm believer in gift cards--to give and get. Takes all the angst out of gift giving! LOL
silverjames@swbell.net
Great giveaway- love blog hopping!

Thanks, Drea. I hope you enjoy the stories! And you're welcome--we're having a blast. :)
Barbara, I'm glad you stopped by for a visit!
Marq, I think the parking is the worst, especially when it's rainy, and in Seattle it's rainy a lot.
Dave, you're my kind of shopper! Good luck in the Kindle Fire drawing. :)
Michelle, I figure if people don't tell me what they want, they won't get what they want. I used to actually worry about it, but no more. Getting mean in my old age. LOL
books4me, you're welcome! and good choice. I hope she enjoys the faery books.
C Knight, I guess you know how to work it. Not me. But I sure like getting presents that people buy when they do brave the Black Friday onslaught.
Alexandra Rose, we don't have your email address so please stop back by and make another comment including it. With small children, online shopping is even more attractive.
Thanks for this opportunity! I actually managed to get through Black Friday unscathed this year, but I got slapped the last time I participated in it. Some people are just flat out ridiculous about it!
Jacquie - I love internet shopping too! Although groceries I get from the store. I've noticed more and more people getting their delivered. :P
Ugh - for the publishers and their agency pricing on ebooks. It drives me mad. I wish they'd realize it's NOT a good thing.
Alas.
Thanks so much for being a part of this blog hop!
Amanda Makepeace, that's my kind of thinking! Best of luck in the Kindle Fire drawing!
mnjcarter, glad you stopped by and I hope your daughter enjoys the book!
hurricanemercedes, thanks for the kudos. ♥
Imajicasnow, when I do venture out, it's not with my husband, either. One thing he knows how to do is make shopping the most miserable experience ever.
Tracy D, the nicest people can turn into monsters. I worked in a discount department store in another life and oh, can I ever tell stories about that!
Tami, thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to leave your email address so we can enter you in the Kindle Fire drawing!
Hi, Avril! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, too!
Robin, I had no idea we had such good company. LOL All in jammies.
Markee, thanks so much, and good luck in the drawing!
Barbara, I like my toes, too. And ankles. Ankles do best when not bashed with a shopping cart stacked eighteen feet high with toys and appliances.
Kelly, you're welcome! Turns out that Superpipe (the talented Mr R) showed up and did everything right, saved the day and we're having a wonderful meal with family and friends today.
Susan, thanks! Much Ado About Marshals is a rollick in the Old west. I hope you enjoy it!
BlackWolf, good luck in the drawing!
Calisa Rhose, yes--sleep is good, and sweet dreams while others are on the shopping battlefield is even better.
Marg, I think online bookstore shopping is the best invention since the toothbrush.
Beckiann, I love Christmas and Faery Merry Christmas is a fun trip to 1956--music and all.
Thalia, thanks for stopping by!
Chelsea B., good luck in the drawing!
Blue Shedevel (love your handle!), parking is downright hazardous to your health! Good luck with the Kindle Fire drawing!

Tara W, love those Amazon Wish Lists. Thanks for stopping by!
CrystalGB, we sure have a lot of online shoppers today. Beats buying gas, parking, and getting sore feet.
Laura, it'll be after midnight on Pacific Time. Squeee! I wonder who will win?
Amy S, me, too! Only I'm not eligible. Ah well. Good luck to you!
Julianne, blog hopping sure beats getting your blood pressure up over pound puppies. :)
Silver James, gift cards are my friend--love to give them and hey, I love to receive them, too!
Meagan B, thanks for stopping by!
Gena, best of luck with the drawing. I was really tickled we could gather enough money together to offer a Kindle Fire.

Happy Black Friday! What a great way to celebrate! Thanks you so much for all these amazing prizes. You guys are truly awesome! I think online shopping is the best way to go rather than going out into those crazy crowds and risking injury- it also saves time. I've been wanting a Kindle since forever and, since my mum and I are avid Romance readers, all the great books on offer add to the temptation. Thank you:) Hope you've had a splendid day!

I'm with you, I don't go out on Black Friday at all. Between the rude shoppers and crazy drivers it feels like a military zone out amongst the shoppers. I LOVE online shopping and am a huge Amazon fan.

I had a horrible Black Friday shopping day! My daughters and I started out at 11:00 pm last night. Stood inline outside of Best Buy for 2 hrs. in freezing cold. got nothing. Then stood outside of Old Navy for another hour then waited in line hour and a half to check out. Kohl’s would have been 2 hrs. to get checked out. We gave up there. Bath & Body hour and a half check out time. So basically was out all night got home 930 this morning with hardly nothing and so tired and achy and cranky! UGH! Never again for me! I’m done being a Black Friday shopper except online.
Thanks for the blog hop!
I hate shopping and refuse to do so!
artsyoil@yahoo.co,
That is a great deal.
I am also a firm believer in online shopping whenever possible. And stores have made that easier and easier offering their deals there as well.
Happy Holidays!
