Spare the e-mail; I'm on this!
I've got a Valentine's Day post all ready to go at the Meet and Greet; I think you'll see it in your reader, so prepare to have some fun. *grin*
Susan: You are way ahead of me. Somehow these books fell through the cracks. Figured I better do them all at once. I hope the photo of my kitty doesn't freak everyone out.
I can't wait to see your post.
Thanks for the giveaway! I'd love to win!
My favorite Valentine's Ritual used to be going to dinner with my sweetie...but now, we hardly do that, and instead make dinner for each other! It's still fun!

Chocolate is my favorite Valentine's Day ritual. BUT it's an everyday favorite too. :D

My favorite Valentine's ritual is making dinner with my sweetie. We never go out that day because the restaurants are a madhouse - we just cook together.
Becky: that's a great new ritual making dinner for each other.
Brooke: I love chocolate too.
Bermuda: Funny the restaurants here are never that packed.
My favorite Valentine's Day ritual is sitting back and having someone else cook dinner. Thanks for the chance to win!
Ah, I'd like to read the Memorist. :)
Looking forward to getting my nickel! Maybe that will be my blog post on Friday.
I'd really like to win the memorist. Thanks for the choices, they are all great.

Kaye: I hope you come back and share your favorite valentine's ritual with us for your entry.
I would love to be entered. I really want to start reading the Evanovich books. I don't have a Valentine's ritual but this year I am roadtripping to VA with a few friends just to get away. Maybe it will be the beginning of a great tradition.
thanks!
I blogged about it here
http://kissmybook.blogspot.com/2009/02/contest-roundup.html
This year I'm making a special beef stew for the hubby. It's supposed to be guaranteed to make him swoon!
I'd say my first choice is The Sinner's Guide to Confession followed by either Evanovich book. Happy early Valentine's Day!

My Hubby and I always go out to a nice dinner on V-day. Not a very exciting ritual, but relaxing.
I would love to win The Memorist, I've had that one on my wish list for a while now!
I saw your giveaway on Susan Helene Gottfried's post at Win a Book!
My favorite ritual is the exchange of candy. :D I always enjoy some tasty candy.

I'd love to be entered for The Sinner's Guide to Confession by Phyllis Schieber
As far as Valentine Day Rituals, I dont really have any except eating chocolate LOL. V-day is a great excuse to eat treats/sweets!
I would like to be entered to win Plum Lucky or Plum Lovin'.
My favorite Valentine's ritual is going out to dinner with my husband. On our first Valentine's he bought me dinner and did all of my laundry. A pity the laundry ritual didn't stick.

Would like to get either of the two books by Janet. Usually spend the night at home with dinner and a movie!
My husband is so romantic and thoughtful but I'm happy with a little candy (OK, a lot of candy) that he bought on sale. :) My mom always got us a small heart shaped box of assorted candy when we were kids. It was so much fun that I've always done that for our kids. They like it too.
I would like any of the books but my first choice would be The Memorist and the second would be The Sinner's Guide. Thanks for a fun contest and I've added it to my blog.

Love your black kitty!
Wrighty: Thanks. i have two black kitties, but they don't get as much play here on the blog as the dog does.
I would love to win a copy of MJ Rose's book :)
Our V-day tradition is nothing major now that we're married and have a little one. We just exchange cards and go out to dinner. This year he has to work on Valentines so we'll have to wait until the week after :(

I'd like to be entered for Plum Lucky.
My husband always gets me flowers for Valentine's Day and we go out to eat and to see a movie.

Sorry forgot to tell you which book I'd like. I love to win The Memorist by M.J. Rose. Thanks:)
bridget3420(at)yahoo(dot)com
Jeez...I don't know how I missed this contest of yours...But please enter me for Plum Lucky. I would love to start reading Janet Evanovich. Do you think that the Plum series should be read in a specific order...or does it just not make a difference?
joannelong74@gmail.com
I would love to win THE MEMOIRIST, but I don't have any of the titles, so I'd be happy with any of them. Thanks for the chance
My "favorite" Valentine's ritual is picking out cards - actually, I love picking out cards any ole day! I spend a LOT of time in the card aisle!
geebee.reads AT gmail DOT com
Great books! I like to give goody baskets to my older sister and her husband, my niece and her husband, my 90 year old dad and to our two sons! I try to leave them at their homes when they aren't there so it is a surprise! Thanks, Cindi

I usually get something for my kids who are both grown. Sometimes I mail them a Vday card or take them out for a meal. It depends. And for my husband I get him a card and add a love letter. He usually comes home hiding flowers behind his back, even after 30+ years : D He's such a sweetie!
slawoszewski@yahoo.com
Ooh, Plum Lucky (if I'm lucky). My husband and I buy cards for each other and personalize them beyond recognition - it's our favorite ritual for Valentine's day.

I would love to win The Memorist.
Favorite valentine's day is a quiet dinner at home. We usually splurge and have crab legs. Yum!
i have not read any of them so would be happy with any one of them as for a ritual i do not have one i do not even have a valentine
My favorite Valentine's Day ritual - we take the kids out for dinner (let them pick the restaurant) because my husband would tell us, we are all his valentines. We go early to beat the rush!
Either of the Evanovich books would be my choice!
kherbrand(at)comcast(dot)net
Hi! I'd love the Janet Evanovich Plum Lucky. bridgetjarsulic@comcast.net
We usually stay in for Valentine's Day -- the restaurants here are always packed too. bridgetjarsulic@comcast.net
I love to read..... Thank you for the contest.... Valentine's Day going to be serving dinner with the youth group to all the couples at church.... I am not a couple but will be glad to help the youth so the parents and enjoy dinner
Hey. I'd love to win any one of these. My favorite valentine's ritual is getting a bunch of those little candy hearts with writing on them and leaving them everywhere I go. :-) You can reach me at:

My favorite Valentine ritual is waking up to breakfast in bed:) I'd like Plum Spooky. Happy Valentine's Day:)
nhertel85 AT yahoo DOT com
I haven't read any of these, so I wouldn't mind any but I think anything by Evanovich would be my first choice. Thanks for the giveaway.

I don't have a favorite valentine ritual. This would be my first valentine with my boyfriend (we were just friends last Feb). As we have a long distance relationship and we don't get to meet as often as we would like to, spending one whole day with him is in itself a bliss :)
I guess my favorite Valentine's Day ritual would be waking up to all the goodies hubby has gotten me. One year I woke up to flowers, a balloon, two stuffed animals, and chocolate too lol. He's the sweetest!
The Memorist please! (I have both of the Plum's)

When my sweetie and I were newlyweds, we didn't have money like most people. During the second year we were married we had a big snow storm on Valentines day. The walks needed to be shoveled and the cars unburied. We had one down coat and were wrestling around about who would wear the down coat. We both got in one coat, each with one arm out. We went out and shoveling snow in one coat. We laughed and giggled and got the job done. Now 15 years later on Valentines day we get into that old coat. Sometimes we need to shovel and sometimes we sweep, we have even changed the oil for the car in one coat. Over the years, we have had different neighbors who have given us crazy looks and we have had neighbors come out and join us in one coat.
If I need to pick a book it will be either Evanovich book.
Several years ago at a garage sale I bo't several boxes of "penny valentines", circa 1950s. It's such fun sorting thru them each year and finding one for each of my grandchildren. Janet Evanovich is a favorite, so I would choose Plum Lovin'. Thanks.

My favorite Valentine's day ritual is going out to dinner and getting flowers. Boring, but fun!
I'd like to read the Evanovich book followed by the Memorist.
Thanks for the giveaway!
kimspam66(at)yahoo(dot)com
Plum Lovin' and Plum Lucky are the evanovich options....Plum Spooky is not!
Please come back and select a different option if you have stated you want Plum Spooky
Please enter me for either Plum. Favorite Valentine tradition, is that my husband actually gives me flowers. It only happens on our Anniversary and Valentine's Day.
Thanks!

Our favorite Valentine's ritual -- we have a pink and red dinner for the kids. We make heart-shaped pancakes with red jam, and tint the milk pink. It's silly but they love it!
vmlay@artsci.wustl.edu
Sara: I know what you mean, no flowers except on those two holidays for me as well.
Marie: what a cute tradition!
The only Valentines Day ritual I ever had was helping the children fill out Valentines Day cards for school. I would love to win The Memorists Daughter.
traymona[at]aol.com
I picked The Memorist. the only ritual we have is my husband always takes me out to eat on Valentine's Day
