Naomi Bellina, Darkly Funny Urban Fantasy

Black Friday Book Bonanza

11/23/2012

My winner is Michelle C. Thanks so much for all the great comments and Facebook Likes. You guys rock!

Who's going shopping on Black Friday? Not me! No way. This girl is staying out of the traffic and stores. I might, however, be trolling around the Internet for goodies. At home, where it's safe and I can wear my fuzzy socks and pajamas.

Enjoy this hop, and I hope you win some goodies just for you, or to share. Leave me a comment below, and be entered to win either an Ebook from my back list (that's everything except Out of the Ordinary), or, for US residents only, a goodie bag with home made one-of-a-kind bookmarks and other hand-crafted items. Give me a Like on Facebook, and your name will be entered twice, so you have a double chance of winning.

Click on another name when you're done, and happy hopping!

Thank you to our hosts, Book Savvy Babe, The Bawdy Book Blog, and Alive on the Shelves, for putting on this fabulous hop!

I stayed home in an effort to avoid all the craziness. Anything that I absolutely needed I ordered on the computer.

Isn't online shopping great, Caitlin? I hope the stores do well today, with people who like to get out and shop.

No braving the crowds for me. Much better to stay home and do the
Black Friday Giveaway Book Blogs Hop. Thanks for participating.

11/23/2012 12:02:47 pm

Much better idea, Kamla. I hope you win some goodies!

Nope, I didn't do the black friday gig. People are crazy and I don't like big crowds. :)

11/23/2012 02:58:18 pm

'Crazy' and 'big crowds' don't go well together, Michelle. Wise choice.

No shopping today...too crazy! I had brunch and gal-gabbing with my best friend today and it was terrific but if I hadn't I'm with you on staying home in my pj's and maybe trolling for cyber sales!
Happy and safe holidays everyone!

We spent Black Friday furniture shopping. Not much of a crowd that way! Thanks for being part of the hop!

I love furniture shopping, and you're right, Susan, great way to beat the crowds and get something accomplished.

Hopefully, you had someone waiting on you hand and foot, bringing you leftovers, Crystal. Probably not, but it's nice to dream. Good for you for cooking!

I don't do Black Friday -- the week before Thanksgiving usually marks the LAST time I deal with retail until after the New Year! I'm usually at home, curled up with a good book!
Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

The BEST way to spend Black Friday is sitting at home, hopping with old friends and making new ones. I can't handle the crowds anymore so I only do Black Friday shopping online if I do any. I tend to pick up gifts throughout the year so come November I'm finished. That way I can spread out the purchasing and not spend a fortune at the time of the year when my job is at its slowest and my paycheck is at its lowest. All I have to do now is remember where I hid all the stuff I got. :) Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win. <^_^>

Forgot to say I liked you on Facebook: Renee Bennett :)

11/24/2012 08:25:22 am

You're a smart shopper, Renee. I'm jealous, you're already done! Yeah, it hurts having a big wad of money go out at once. You get the Planning Princess award for the year.

Kate

11/24/2012 07:08:07 am

I have the same black friday attitude! I can get lots of deals online at home, where I am comfy and warm and have no risk of injury, other than from my usual clumsiness lol.

And I'm in the US. And I LOVE bookmarks :)

11/24/2012 08:26:59 am

Wow, lots of us staying home this year. That's okay, online shopping helps the economy too, Kate. I'm going to do a little local shopping next week, when the crowds are gone.

April

11/24/2012 07:23:06 am

I hate crowds so I will be staying in and doing all my shopping online! Thanks for the Hop!

Not everyone gets in the holiday spirit, Lona, and you're right, there are some really rude folks other there. Enjoy your home shopping.

I never go out on Black Friday. There are some really crazy shoppers out there. I'm very happy staying at home with my children.! Thank for the great giveaway. This has been a great blog hop!

I stay home and hibernate on Black Friday, too many people and too much traffic. Hope all had a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Thank you for being a part of the hop.

Hibernation... I like the sound of that, Cindy. It's not just for bears.

I stayed far away from any stores on Black Friday. Crowds and I do not mix well. Stayed home and ate leftovers! This is a fun hop!

Yummm! Leftovers! Good plan, Cindi.

I shopped until I dropped. Just kidding, but I did shop a lot. And then I read a lot. So it was a blast! :)

11/25/2012 04:31:30 am

I'm glad someone likes to shop. Good for you, Arely! And you got to read too. What a great weekend.

Katie Amanda

11/24/2012 02:35:22 pm

I went out for 2 hours, but didn't buy much. I can home and shopped online- much better! Thanks!

Unfortunately, this Holiday is not celebrated in my country, Azerbaijan.

However, I'm thinking about some eBooks to buy as part of Black Friday sales from publishers.

Have a great Day,

Lots of good deals out there, Adila. Come celebrate with us anyway!

Oh, I stay away from any Black Friday sales. I shudder at the thought of the crowds (they give me panic attacks bad)

11/25/2012 10:15:28 am

Internet shopping was designed for folks like you, June. Stay home in the safe and cozy house!

I was suprised how many online deals I found on Black Friday instead of CyberMonday! I NEVER shop outside the house on Black Friday! This Friday we did go to to a movie: Skyfall was GREAT!

I love watching movies on Black friday. This year we even braved the crowds and saw Skyfall at the theatre!

Thanks for the chance to win.

I tried to go out shopping this year and it really wasn't all that bad, I did get some good deals and it was a fun outing with my family :). Normally I stay in, but right now I am in a smaller town so I thought the crowds wouldn't be as bad, and they really weren't.

Thanks for having the giveaway!

No Black Friday for me. Nothing is worth that craziness. Unless they're giving away free big-screen TV's ;)
