How About Backlist Day? What Do You Think?

Hi everyone--
I have enough books now that i think it might be fun to have a regular feature on the blog where i highlight a book from my backlist and do a giveaway of that book. Maybe twice a month? I could tell you about how i created the book, post an excerpt, and maybe have a contest of some kind.

What do you think?

  • What would be the best day of the week?
  • Would you like a contest or just a drawing for the winner?
  • If we have a contest, any suggestions for what kind?
  • Should i feature the books in order of publication, in series, or randomly (i'm leaning toward random but can be talked out of it)?
  • Have any suggestions for what to call the event? Anything better than Backlist Day?
  • What else?
I might have to shuffle the dates when i have blog tours on this site, but otherwise it could be a regular feature. Like the idea or not? Let me know!

The Hearts and Flour Blog Tour starts Friday. Come play.    : )

  1. I think Saturday is a great day and liking Amazon wouldn't be too much to ask to enter. :-D

  2. I think random, with a cheat sheet of related books. BTW, I come here for the eye candy

  3. You just tell me what, when and where. Random is fine.

  4. How about a quote contest? You post a quote from one of your books and we have to guess who said it to whom.

    Eh, I am not very creative, as you can see. LOL

    Thanks,

  5. Actually, that is a super fun idea. It would have to be from a different book than the one featured but, heck, we could work that out. Thank you! : )

  6. Love that kitty!
    I like random, Saturday and either liking on 'zon or answering questions from YOU. Example: Do you readers prefer blonde or brunette? Blue Eyes or green or brown?

  9. I like the idea!

    No idea what day, though maybe you should choose one that you rarely have anything scheduled for.

    I think a contest would be great, or it's too easy and no fun :P

    Any names I can come with are kind of a mouthful, so I'm scrapping those...

    I think random would be best, keep people guessing and always checking back!
