Alrighty ladies,

Since it’s almost Mother’s Day, we thought it’d be nice to do something special for those mothers out there who stop by here to read our blog. It’s our way of thanking you all for stopping by and reading what we’ve got to say.

We really do appreciate our Moms, right?

Well, just in case you need a reminder of how wonderful a mother you really are, or how wonderful your mother really is (hey, we all need reminding now and again, right?), we’ve got a great contest for you. Sorry for those of you out there like me who are really lazy, but this month you have to work for your prize.

To enter, you have to write up a little something letting us know who, in your opinion, is the Worst Mother in a romance novel and why? The person who can convince us of the worthiness of their favorite evil romance novel mother will win this…

A dinner for two gift card to your choice of Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden or Red Lobster.

AND.

A free book! A Mother’s Touch, an anthology with author greats Linda Howard, Emilie Richards and Sheryl Woods.


All you have to do is submit an entry to us, at thebookbinge at gmail dot com (no spaces), letting us know who you think is the worst Mom in a romance novel and why. We’ll go over each entry and choose the perfect one and then we’ll ask you to do a review for the book your character is in. Because we’re a little late in getting this up and time is of the essence, we’ll send you your prize lickety split. But we’re giving you an extra week to get us the review. The deadline to have your entries in, is Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at 7pm.

Sorry to those non-mothers out there (cough cough Izzy cough), this is a chance for the Mother’s to feel special on their special day. Next month, however, everyone will be able to participate in our contest. This is just our way of saying HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to the mothers out there, so this is strictly for them!!

As Rosie so graciously pointed out, we all have Mothers, even if we aren’t one. So we’ve revised our contest and anyone may enter. Even if you don’t have children of your own. So get those submissions in, ladies! We want to give away some prizes here!

Any questions, feel free to comment!

GOOD LUCK!

  1. this is awesome! what a great contest! and even though i can’t participate, i’m anxious to see the results. good luck to everyone!

  2. I won’t be entering in light of my recent bounty. But I thought I’d throw my two cents in and say that even the non-Moms can read a book and as daughters know a bad Mom and could win a prize for their Moms. ::winky, winky::

    Don’t ya think?

  3. Oh my gosh! The Linda Howard novella is an old one, the only thing I’ve ever read by Howard, and I’ve been trying to track it down. I fell in love with it in High School. Now must think of an evil mother…

    Ooh ooh, how ’bout the mother in JQ’s An Offer From A Gentlewoman? Stole her (bastard)stepdaughter’s inheritance and put her to work as the family maid.
