Hi everyone! We are just one week away from kicking of Friends & Enemies to Lovers Week here on Joyfully Jay! It will be a week filled with reviews, guest posts, and favorite book lists, all centered around our theme. And let’s not forget our super big giveaway, a hallmark of our theme weeks here on the blog.
This year folks have once again been incredibly generous in donating prizes for the event. We have close to 100 prizes to give out! So a big thanks to the authors and publishers who were so generous in making donations. And it is not too late; if you want to donate to the giveaway, just let me know.
The giveaway will open on Sunday, March 6 at 2:00 EST and run until Saturday, March 12 at 11:59 EST. So you will have plenty of time to enter. But considering we have so very many prizes, I wanted to give you all a little preview of the goodies. Also, the rules for our theme week contests are different than how we usually do them. So at the end of this incredibly long list of amazing prizes, I have a quick overview of how the contest will run so that you all can understand all the details.
So behold the awesomeness, and thanks again to everyone who so generously donated!

All right, so as I mentioned, the rules for all this are a bit different than normal. Here is how it will work:
- When you enter, you will leave your top 7-12 prizes in ranked order in your comments (more or less is no big deal).
- If your name is drawn, I will automatically award you the top prize that is left on your list. If you don’t have anything left, no worries. We will contact you directly. But this way, I can award many of the prizes without taking the time to contact everyone individually. Otherwise we would still be giving prizes out next year.
- Be sure to have joyfullyjay@gmail.com and joyfullyjay.michelle@gmail.com in your safe senders list so that any message from us doesn’t end up in SPAM. If I contact you, you will have 24 hours to get back to me before I have to go one to another winner. Every time we do this, I have folks who lose out on prizes because my messages end up in junk mail so don’t let that happen to you. I want you to get goodies!
- You must be 18 or older to enter.
So that is the deal. Be sure to check out the list above for ideas of what you might want to include in your prize wish list. And next Sunday at 2:00 pm EST we will have the full list of prizes along blurbs about each one.
Whoa! That is a boatload of goodies. Thanks to all who are donating gifts. I’m looking forward to reading posts that week.
