Close Out 2013 with a Bang!!! Awesome Giveaways

2013 was a great year for readers.  There were so many awesome books to read and not enough time to read them all.  For every book I put on my "read" Goodreads shelf, I put two more on my "to be read" shelf.  I had so many books loading up on my eReader, that I never had to search for a good book.  I just had to decide if I was in the mood for rockers or millionaires or cowboys; if I wanted it hard and fast or slow and romantic; if I wanted a some suspense or action or travel to go along with love story.

While the Inner Goddess Forum and Goodreads group had been up for a while, 2013 was the year we opened the blog.  What began as a weekly feature grew into daily posting as we met more and more authors that we wanted to help promote.  Their imagination and ability to spirit us away has left us in anticipation of each new release.  In fact we started a Facebook group called Romantic Releases just to help us keep up.  My daily chats with authors and readers inspires me to continue promoting authors, doing what I can to give back to the profession that gives me so much joy. 

As 2013 ends, we find that there are too many books still remaining on our TBR pile.  While we hope that 2014 brings just as many wonderful reads to a one-click near us, we hope to fine time to read the titles still calling to us from our list.
