Sounds cool! You have the best ideas.
Thanks, but I can't take full credit. Technically the initial idea came from Kimber An of Enduring Romances. Laurie Green of Spacefreighters Lounge helped with the development as well. This was truly a community effort.
{blink} That's quite a collection. {impressed smile}

I should add in here that the book I'm offering is Lucy in the Sky - not the Consolation Prize that shows on the slideshow!! Lucy is a sci fi romance and The Consolation Prize is firmly fixed in the world of vampires.
Good luck everyone!!

Can't wait!
Holiday books! I need stocking stuffers... for myself. Thanks everyone who came up with this!
Books rock. And they rock even harder during the Christmas season :))
Thanks Heather for spearheading such a great SFR event!
I'm sorry to say that I did the Listmania in haste, and mistook Katherine Allred's titles for both ARCs, which was absolutely my mistake.
If you visit the Listmania now, you will see Katherine's book almost at the top of the List.
I'm still hoping some of the authors will help me out with a quote or one-liner to go with the cover art.
@Rowena I didn't help matters any by forgetting to follow up with you regarding CLOSE ENCOUNTERS--eek! I think you did a fab job in such a short amount of time.
Heather,
I look forward to the radio show with you, Lisa Paitz Spindler, Ella Drake, and Doug Knipe the Sci Fi Guy... maybe someone in the group will have some lovely accolades for the fantastic books so generously being donated....
Then, after the show, I can add them to the Listmania (which will be on Amazon forever) to make it much more helpful to sfr readers than it already is.
Such a fab idea, Heather! Can't wait to get started!
Wow, this sounds like so much fun! The slide show is wonderful!
YAY!!! I can't wait for this!!!
So, here we are! It's Sunday. Already, I've visited Laurie's site (to study her Uranus post). It was certainly worth reading.
