Loading ...Day 29 & 30 Contest for My Bloody Vampire - The MOTHERLOAD of Prizes!
PLEASE NOTE: Comments and the contest are closed for this post.
Welcome one and all to day 29 & 30 of our month long bash of bloody goodness.
Today’s contest is easy and fun. The winner will be announced later this week. There are 48 prizes for today! Spread the word!
http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=12446
We still have TONS of prizes to give away this month and only a couple of days to do it! SO, I am combining today and tomorrow’s contests together.
1. To enter today’s contest all you need to do is tell us which books/authors you would (or have) skipped work or an important engagement to stay home and read. And don’t tell me you have NEVER done it or at least considered it. LOL Authors you would RISK censure at work to stay home and read. Spill it.
Here are my confessions: Anything by Keri Arthur. Sorry, I checked out last night so I could read most of Bound to Shadows book 8 instead of doing the day 29 contest for you all. LOL *runs*. Other indescretions would be committed for the following.
Yasmine Galenorn, Jeaniene Frost, Nancy Haddock, Gerry Bartlet, Kimberly Raye, Dakota Cassidy, Mark Henry, Tom Sniegoski, Jim Butcher…crap, I had better stop before I am in big trouble.

I have to admit, last year I blew off many-a-things just to read the Twilight series. Right now I’m hooked on the Sookie Stackhouse novels and the House of the Night series.

LOL Eragon was the last book that I considered quitting my job for.
#2-8 all D.O.N.E.
I will freely confess that I have skipped and neglected work for two authors! Rachel Vincent & Jeaniene Frost!!! I will even admit to being so impatient to read Destined for an Early Grave (Nighthuntress 4) that I read it while driving on the way home from Barnes & Noble it was a difficult task all in itself but I did it, and I did not kill anyone! It’s terrible I know, but I just could not wait! *shame face*
p.s. I could not put down Keri Arthur’s Bound to Shadows either but luckily I had the day off!
2-8 done!!!!

I skipped a week of classes in college in order to read Anne Rice’s entire vampire series. It was so worth it. And who knew it would be good career preparation?
I have in fact skipped work in order to finish reading a JR Ward book, Richelle Mead book and probably more. That is all I can think about. I can cheat and read in class while my students are reading.

Okay so every time I get a super awesome new book, I consider skipping work, school, dentist appointments, social engagements, kidney transplants, what have you. It’s just so hard not to get engrossed and then to be interrupted when you are living in the text sucks majorly. Although I’ve learned, if you cut off from the real world entirely (yes I’ve done it, multiple times), I start to feel ill. Now this may come from surviving wholly on granola bars (chocolate chip) and apple juice for three days, but I digress. In the past, I’ve holed up in my room for new Harry Potter books and Breaking Dawn. I also spent about two days (before a big trip to the beach for which I should have been [i]packing[/i]) reading the latest Jeaniene Frost book. So here’s a list of other authors I would totally spend my day, week, however long it took, holed up with if I could do so and A) not get sick, B) not need sleep, and C) not get in trouble for locking myself away:
Jeaniene Frost
Jim Butcher
Jennifer Rardin
Tamora Pierce
Kim Harrison
Carrie Vaughn
Julie Kenner
JK Rowling (Come on, if there was a new HP book, half the world would shut down the week after it released)
JR Ward

Oh gosh, there are SO many authors!! Neil Gaiman & J.R.R. Tolkien are TOPS. J.K. Rowling,
Richelle Mead - I shut off my cell for 2 days when reading the latest Succubus book. (I was engrossed in that series for awhile there and couldn’t put it down!) Dakota Cassidy. I adore Christine Rose and Maria V Snyder too! There are sooo many more. Right now, I’m reading the new Nick Hornby book.
The main reason I don’t sleep very well is because I would rather sleep than read.
I always have a book nearby/in my bag/hands. It drives me crazy when I have to put a book done and actually do work! I was in the end of a Cassandra Clare book last week and I was interrupted repeatedly - ooooh non-book people just do NOT understand. Do they? I was reading and this particular person just sat down next to me and started talking. No regard that I was uh, in the middle of reading?! and they never mentioned it - apologized… anything! lol!

1. Skipped work to go to a book-signing by Richelle Mead in another city!
that’s my biggest one, lol! And worth it
Also, I skipped class when I was reading Breaking Dawn when it came out last year! I looked at the clock and it was 4am, class was at 8am and I decided, “screw it. i’m reading this book” lol Charlaine Harris’ Sookie series also gave me tons of sleepless nights that I spent reading in bed
It’s gotten to the point that whenever my boyfriend spots me with a book by any of these three ladies, he groans and complains b/c he knows he won’t be seeing me except with my nose in the book!

Let’s see — JK Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, JR Ward, Charlaine Harris. Those are the ones off the top of my head, though there are probably more. *cough*
Well, I did skip class to read Robert Jordans book Knife of Dreams, but I was a bit sick too, or at least so I told myself
Intl, done
Oh, I so hate to interrupt my reading, though I’m too much of a chicken to ever skip work:) Though I’ve totally skipped my homework for JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series - they’re jus impossible to put down.
This is my first addiction problem. When I start reading any book the first time, I don’t put it down until I am done. So I try to plan ahead, but there are so many that I just can’t I must read them ASAP.
here are some of the causes of my indescretions…

Although truthfully I have never skipped school to read them all day. Although! I may have left class a few minutes early to just the buy the book before I had to go to work!
Did 3 and 7!
Karen Moning and Laurel Hamilton. I need to take more “mental health” days so I can read more….

1 - Ok, well I did wake-up one morning on what was suppose to be a gorgeous day, and think gee I’m feeling a bit under the weather. That thought was followed by, if I stay home I can sit on the deck and finish Angie Fox’s The Dangerous Book For Demon Slayers. Needless to say, I was too sick to go to work, and what a great ending to one of my fav books.
2 through 8 are done
Wow!!! Thanks to Rachel and the Goddess for all the fab prizes today and all month!!!
WOW - some awesome prizes! Sorry that this month is ending.
Stayed home to finish Dean Koontz - Dark Rivers of the Heart. Just couldn’t put it down. It’s my favorite of all his books. Have also played hooky for Kenyon and Moning but can’t remember which titles now.
Got the rest covered.
(PS - Thanks for the free Kresley Cole read.)
Anything by J.L. Langley, or Jet Mykles. I have used a few sick days to stay curled up in bed with their new releases.
lora leigh i have stayed home to finish.sherrilyn kenyon,j l langley,j r ward,lynsay sands.more but i hate to be interrupted when i’m reading.
1. I’m a stay at home Mom so I can’t say I’ve missed work, unless you count not cleaning or doing laundry for 2 days while I’m on a reading binge. I love Christine Feehan, J.R. Ward, Amanda Ashley, Deborah MacGillivray, Amanda Scott, and so many others. I love my vamp books but also LOVE a good Scottish/Irish historical.

I work at home so I’m always pushing work back to finish a chapter or book….
Once when I was a substitute-teacher, I read one of the chapters of a newly released Harry Potter book aloud to the class, because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.
Everything at my house comes to a dead-halt when theres a new Jim Butcher or Charlaine Harris release. I just mark those days on the calender.
I skipped a family gathering to read a Sherilyn Kenyon book.
I exaggerated an illness to read MAryJane Davidson- I really could have made it in, but I thought I would feel much better if I stayed home got some rest (and finished one of the “Undead” books), and I was right.
I skipped a meeting to read Molly Harper.

I would really like to win a “Bar o’ swag” or anything, actually. Its been a sucky week, a win would be nice!
But, actually, anytime I pick up a good book its a win!
Confession time!! Recently, during a summer vacation (on the gorgeous Sannibel island) I skipped out on an evening out, so I could finish reading Charlaine Harris’ Dead and Gone. *Hangs head in shame*
Once I’m stuck in a book, no matter which, the world is likely to pass me by! Authors who get me ’stuck in fiction’ are: Angie Fox, Mark Henry, Michelle Rowen, Charlaine Harris, Keri Arthur, Lara Adrian, A.E.Rought and Maya Banks. Probably a few more that I can’t recall ATM, too!

Almost Halloween! My Bloody Vampire event has been rocking, Rachel. You rock! Thanks so much for arranging so many treats for us :0)
Any time a new Dresden Files by Jim Butcher comes out or a anything from Rob Thurman, I get peeved that I have to go to work ’cause all I want to do is just sit and read. Alot of PN Elrod’s stuff and the majority of Mercedes Lackey’s series do that to me too.
Not only would I do this but I HAVE. Authors I would risk censure for are (in no particular order): Kim Harrison, Kelley Armstrong, Stephanie Meyer, Anne Bishop, Ilona Andrews, and Maria V. Snyder.
Thanks Rachel for an awesome October. I’m so glad I discovered BBB in time for the month long celebration.

I’ve stayed home from school to read Charlaine Harris but, honestly my problem isn’t staying home and reading them… it’s staying up all night and reading them. Which I have done with a LOT of books.
The rest are done.
I would be tempted to stay home to read so many books that I would never go to work, if I worked.
I did everything else requested.
1. I may or may not have–ahem–stayed up all night reading, which obviously made it impossible for me to go to class… I’ve done that reading Maria V. Snyder, Richelle Mead, Sherwood Smith, Clive Barker, Kathryn Smith…uh, yeah. It’s kind of a problem.

Worth skipping a day of work! Anything by Karen Marie Moning — especially her faefever series! Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Kresley Cole, C.L. Wilson, Diana Gabaldon. I’d pretty much skip if I was glued to any good paranormal. Thanks! Fun Contest!

I’ve never skipped anything to read but I’d say Richelle Mead and Kelley Armstrong are definately 2 that are skip-worthy.

Anything Melissa Marr, PC Cast, Charlaine Harris…many a late night with my nose in a book! <3
1. I never missed a full day of work but I have skimmed a few hours to go to the book store to pick up books lastest being Linda Wisdom’s Hex in High Heels.
2-8 complete
#1 - There are many authors I would avoid the rest of the world for. I’ve been known to hide a book within the work on my desk at work — Just like I would hide a book within the textbook in school. A few names off the top of my head: Holly Lisle, Kelly Armstrong, Jenna Black, Rachel Caine, Carrie Vaughn, Vicki Pettersson, C. J. Cherryh, Mercedes Lackey, and on, and on, and on.

MaryJanice Davidson and Charlaine Harris. Not only have I skipped out on classes to read them but I’ve taken them to class and work to read.
Completed 2-8 also.
Ah, Funny you should ask that question, I am at work with a copy of Michelle Rowne’s Demon Princess: Reign or Shine in my purse! But Kim Harrison, Richelle Mead, Charlaine Harris, Mary Janice Davidon, Michele Bardsley,Dakota Casidy, And Keri Arthur ALL would make me consider skipping work! Lucky for me I have flexible hours! Everything else I have participated in and I am on the way to Marks Henry’s event now.
[...] last note, a great contest is being held over at Bitten By Books–one of the prizes is an ARC of Eternal [...]
A very long time ago I read during my English class in highschool which is one of the reasons I did so poorly that year. That’s right I did bad in English cause I was reading in class lol.
1. I’m pretty good….I think the only important “engagement” I have skipped in order to read would be with my pillow. Ihave missed sleep many times in order to read! Recent authors/books I’ve done this for; Stephenie Meyers- The Host, Maggie Stiefvater- Shiver, and just last night, Kristin Cashore- Graceling.

I would miss work for Virginia Kantra. I have met her and absolutely love her books.
I miss sleep a lot because I can not put the books I’m reading down and have even missed court to read a good book from the authors below! I’m addicted to vampires, faes, lycans, witches, etc. Its all so good that it keeps me up at night till 3am! I also get upset, because I read faster then the authors write and darn it for having to wait a year for the next series, it’s pure torture! I used to watch Charmed and I catch all the Vampire series on tv these days, which there is just not enough to watch, so read, read, away! I think I have spent more money on books then I do anything else. For you authors out there, your Welcome for keeping the money rolling in,now get to work and get the next series out because I am anxious to read it!

Haven’t skipped work (yet) for books, but have skipped sleep and actually working at work to read L.K. Hamilton, Kim Harrison, Jim Butcher. Not forgetting Mercedes Lackey and (RIP) Marion Zimmer Bradley. There’s probably more authors to include, but those are the ones at the top of my head.
1. There are so many I would skip work to stay home and read…Jeanine Frost, Karen Marie Moning, & Patricia Briggs…. and I had several sleepless nights where I refused to sleep until I finished whatever Stephenie Meyers book I was reading at the time.

I this book out loud at times to my husband (who probably thinks I’m nuts). I lost sleep for this book. I have my “island books” so any of those I would stay home for or skip sleep for, etc…..
Jennbunny
Oh I would skip my work or any other appointment for Susan E. Phillips, Lynsay Sands, Stephenie Meyer & Richelle Mead’s books
1. I don’t really know if I’ve ever wanted to skip a day to read a book because I usually bring them with me. But if I really wanted to skip a day to read, I’d have to say that the author would either be Jaquelyn Frank, Angela Knight, or by someone that’s published by Elora’s Cave.

I’ve skipped my husband’s family functions to stay at home and read, but not work, yet. Anything by Keri Arthur, Kresley Cole, Gena Showalter, Laurell Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Richelle Mead, or Mary Janice Davidson (major comic relief), P.C. Cast, Jeaniene Frost. I’m sure there are more, but that’s good enough for now.
I have skipped school and have even been late to work from being in the middle or near the end of a good book. The usual suspects for this occurance being Kerrelyn Sparks, Lynsay Sands, Jacqualine Frank, Patricia Briggs and Charlene Harris. I just loose track of time or just don’t want to put it down for anything, even school.
I can read at work so I’ve never had to skip work. But I do admit I’ve slacked off on my duties because I was too into a book!! I’d do it for LKH for sure, she’s still my favorite.
1. Both Anita Blake and Merry Gentry series by LKH, Lora Leigh, Sarah McCarty and Kim Harrison.

I will even skip meals to read a new book by Stephen King. I’ve been addicted since I first read Salem’s Lot. The Stand is still my all tome favorite.

I neglected my school work for Seduced by Magic by Cheyenne McCray. A few weeks ago I got into Lorelie James’ Rough Rider Series and have not only shunned school work but family, friends and TV just to finish her books.
I have to agree Kerri Arthur, Laurell K Hamilton, Kim Harrison.
I have done 2-8. Happy Halloween to ALL!!!!
Anything Charlaine Harris writes, Keri Arthur, Ann Agirre, and Jeaniene Frost are authors I’d stay home from an important engagement to read.
Karen Marie Moning…. definitely. What is Mac getting herself into now. Its almost impossible to put those books down. I’m on pins and needles waiting for Shadowfever which won’t be out until late summer/early fall 2010. I got my daughter started, and she got a friend from work started. Now we are all frantic to continue the story. I would skip classes to get these books and read them! Write faster Karen, and keep them coming. LOL
Laurell K. Hamilton hands down.
Jacqueline Carey too (she’s not paranormal romance or urban fantasy but she is DARK fantasy…)
Laurell K Hamilton, even when I want to throw the book, I still can’t help reading it. Jim Butcher - a new Harry Dresden is a must. Right now I’ve just devoured the Gathering Storm by the late Robert Jordan, all of his books are hardback buys for me, pre-ordered months in advance. So clever with red herrings… I always figured Rand would lose a hand, that was obvious from almost the beginning but the blind beggar foreshadowing had me worried right to the last chapter when you find out what Casdsuane really has to teach him. And of course JD Robb, another must buy/must read as soon as they came out. Luckily I’m a fast reader but I have been known to stay up overnight because I couldn’t put the book down.
i did skip school once to read Bitten by Kelley Armstrong, i NEVER miss school so you can imagine how taken i was in the book
1. Gah. i’ve stayed home reading The Twilight Series when they first came out…
