I Love Winning Contests!

A few weeks ago I entered a contest on Joelle Anthony's blog. She is the author of the recent release Restoring Harmony. I mentioned this book a few weeks ago in an In My Wishlist post. I am in love with the cover:

Isn't it beautiful? So, when I saw the contest on her blog, I entered it right away, figuring I'd never win, because honestly, I never win anything. Well, I can't say that anymore, because I was the grand prize winner in Joelle's contest, and yesterday I won a Arm Chair BEA  giveaway too! Anyway, Joelle's package arrived today and not a moment too soon, as I had just returned from the dentist with woeful, expensive news.

Check out my haul!



What I got:

-Beautiful Restoring Harmony tote, signed by Joelle.
-ARCs of the following books: A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend, Mockingbird, Leaving Gee's Bend & Magic Under Glass.
-A CD of Joelle's husband's music.
-Earrings
-A collection of seeds and a chocolate bar
-Restoring Harmony swag (some will be included in an upcoming contest) and some swag for some neat looking books: Take Flight, The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams (signed by the author!) Mockingbird & Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood

-A $20 credit at Mercer Island Books.
 
So, the message of this post? Enter contests, even if you have rotten luck like me. You'll get lucky eventually!

ETA: I meant to include the trailer for Restoring Harmony, here it is:

  4. Lucky lucky you. I feel I've got horrible luck with contests - even though I've won three? Maybe it's because I haven't won any big prize packages yet... (Yours looks fabulous, by the way.) :)
