MCD’s Fav Things: Birthdays, 2024 Edition

books, giveaways

GIVEAWAY CLOSED. THE (FIVE) WINNERS HAVE BEEN EMAILED!

Hello, my lovely readers! Today is my 51st birthday (and yes, though I just sailed through 50 without a blip, I’m seriously trying to not freak out about this milestone). If you follow me on Facebook, you know I usually do flash giveaways on my birthday, mostly of my favourite things, and therefore mostly about books! Unfortunately, Facebook is a very uncomfortable platform on which to host giveaways now, and my posts often get hit with a lot of scammers and spam. Hence the move here to the blog.

Also! I collected a bunch of autographed books from fav authors for my book club (etc). But having stepped back from that for the foreseeable future, I can’t just have these pretties collecting dust in my cupboard. So now you all get a chance to win them. YAY!

Are you ready?

😜

Of course, you are!

Well, I’ll get to it. See the ‘rules’ at the end for more info, etc. Presented in alphabetical order, here are some of my favourite books/authors:

Content Note: all of these books contain ‘on the page’ sexual situations and some darker themes, please check trigger warnings.

Giveaway A. An autographed copy of Amanda Bouchet’s A Promise of Fire (Romantic Fantasy/Romantasy), three postcards from the series, a chocolate bar from Kasama Chocolate, and a hand poured by MCD chocolate candle.

Giveaway B. An autographed copy of Jennifer Estep’s Only Bad Options (Sci-Fi Fantasy/Space Opera), a bookmark, sticker, and an autographed bookplate, plus chocolate bar from Kasama Chocolate and a hand poured by MCD chocolate candle.

Giveaway C. An autographed copy of Jeffe Kennedy’s Dark Wizard (Dark Fantasy Romance/Romantasy), a chocolate bar from Kasama Chocolate, and a hand poured by MCD chocolate candle.

Giveaway D. An autographed copy of Kathryn Moon’s Baby and the Late Night Howlers (Omegaverse/Why Choose), a chocolate bar from Kasama Chocolate, and a hand poured by MCD chocolate candle.

Giveaway E. An autographed copy of Lola Rock’s Park Darling (Omegaverse/Why Choose), series branded bookmark, stickers, and quotes, plus a chocolate bar from Kasama Chocolate, and a hand poured by MCD chocolate candle.

To enter, simply comment below and tell me which birthday book box (A, B, C, D, or E) you most desire (or AOTA: all of the above)!

Please be honest, for example, unlike me 😁, not everyone enjoys Omegaverse aka Why Choose, or darker themes (kidnapping, rejected mate, etc), and I would prefer these special books go to the perfect homes!

Happy birthday to me!

Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. One entry per person. Five winners will be selected by random number generator. Only entries that follow the stated requirements will be valid. Email addresses are not collected for any purpose other than to contact the winner. No purchase necessary. The comments are moderated. I will approve your entry just as soon as I have a moment to do so.

Neither the authors nor the chocolate maker are affiliated with this giveaway. This is not a sponsored post, I purchased (or made) all the items included above.

Giveaway closes SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2024 at 11:59 pm PDT.
