Huh?!? What’s this? The Naked Nun by M.E. Gardner is not quite what it sounds like. You’ll have to read Vera’s review to see just what I mean.

Anyway, Vera’s giving away 2 copies until 3/19.

Unfortunately, this is only open to US residents.

Click here to enter.

At Luxury Reading, Vera has copies of “Black Hills” and “Drood” by Dan Simmons for 2 winners until 3/17.

Open to US and Canada only; extra entries available, check it out there.

Now, isn’t that the perfect-sounding book for a March giveaway?!?

This one’s timed for St. Patrick’s Day at She Is Too Fond Of Books.

It’s one of those great illustrated alphabet books from Sleeping Bear Press. This is S is for Shamrock by Eve Bunting, and it gives bits of Irish history and culture; a short verse for younger readers, with more explanation in the sidebars for those who want more.

Here’s the link to the giveaway.

THE BRIDE COLLECTOR by Ted Dekker is going to be released on April 13, 2010. But you may get a chance to read it before then. Dan’s Journal is giving away their gently used Advanced Readers Copy to one lucky reader of their blog.

To enter, leave a comment with your email address (Dan needs that so you can be contacted you if you win).

But this is for U.S. Residents only (those darn postage rates!)

Contest ends Tuesday, March 9, 2010 (Dan just picks weird dates out of the blue!)

April has a new interview and giveaway up at Cafe of Dreams that she is very excited about. The contest is for a copy of the YA Historical Fiction book Double Eagle by Sneed B. Collard III. This is open to U.S. addresses and ends March 15th. Entering is very easy!

Marie Burton of the Burton Review and her Historical Fiction Roundtable are up to a lot of good once again. We like ‘em this way, so be sure to support what’s going on.

There are two copies of Donna Russo Morin’s newest novel, The Secret of the Glass,

You have two chances to win Donna Russo Morin’s newest historical novel, The Secret of the Glass. A paperback copy is going to go to one lucky person who comments at the Roundtable’s main site. (You can link there from The Burton Review.) A second contest is up, but that’s not for a book. Nope, it’s for a lovely glass pendant.

But there’s more! Marie’s ARC copy is up for grabs, too. So is a bookmark Marie made herself (she’s asking you to not laugh TOO openly at it. Frankly, I couldn’t laugh. Making bookmarks is, I suspect, more difficult than it looks).

There are extra entries for this second give for the ARC. However, this ARC give is only open to friends in the US. Enter by March 6.

To celebrate the release of Stella Cameron’s new series, Romance Author Buzz is giving away a copy of Ms. Cameron’s Out of Body, the first of the Court of Angels books.

It will be released in March, if you need it NOW. (Too bad; you can only pre-order or try to win it)

About that winning it… enter by March 31. Be sure to read the rules for entry carefully, even though they are easy and straightforward.

It seems no one ’s figured out Where Nina Lies yet. And yes, I’m going to continue making fun of this book title. Why not? It’s fun. And it helps the title stick in your brain, so that when you’re out at the store, you see it and think, “Hey! There it is!” and then you buy it.

See how it works?

Unless you’re like me, and you don’t go into bookstores, lest your husband chase you down with sharp objects and valid worries of floors collapsing under the weight of all these books. If that’s the case — or something like it — you’ll want to head over to Park Avenue Princess, where three copies of Lynn Weingarten’s book are up for grabs.

Here’s the cool thing: the books must be shipped from the publisher to a US address. If you’re outside the US but have someone willing to be a go-between, you can enter!

There are lots of rules, so read and follow them carefully. Enter by March 16.
