Happy Anniversary AND Happy Birthday to me ;-)

This is stop #19

Your last stop should have been:

Stop #18, Josh Lanyon: http://jgraeme2007.livejournal.com/

So how does it work?

This tour will include up to two stops per day. In order to participate, you will need to register , at which time you'll be given a participant number. At each stop, you have the opportunity to leave a comment (be sure to include your participant number) to win a prize and be entered in the drawing for the grand prize (a Sony E-reader). Each comment you leave earns a point (one comment per blog) - the more points you earn, the more chances to win.

The Official Rules can be found here

The prize for this stop is a 10$ gift certificate. The winner will receive a promo code to use at checkout.

And of course here is a bit of Man Candy for you :-) No Man Candy, No Party!



Please leave a comment to enter the drawing to win! It's simple, if you are an "old" friend, just tell me the first thing you remember of me (a post, a comment, everything), instead if you are new on my LiveJournal, just tell me if you have ever heard about me before now :-) If not, I will not be offended, I swear!

The more comments you leave on the tour, the better your chances of winning the grand prize, a Sony E-reader!

The next stop on the anniversary tour is #20, Victor Banis: http://www.vjbanis.com/blog/

Happy Birthday Elisa! You're the same age as me! Well, we're just a month apart :))
FIrst thing I remember about you? When a mutual friend told me you needed judges for the Rainbow Awards last year. I was so surprised you replied to my message - I was a little in awe!!
Thanks for the man candy :)

Yes, this is the first time I've heard of you. Do you just review m/m or also other genres (m/f, m/f, poly?)

Happy Birthday

Hi,
Sorry to say I haven't heard of you before.
And so, greetings! I am Donna, no blog, no books, but I am a voracious reader.

I love the picture you posted and wouldn't mind tasting a piece of...cake.

My first exposure to your blog was one of your delicious man-candy posts, and once I wiped the drool off the keyboard, I started reading more. That's how I discovered your kind and thoughtful reviews. Pam 7906 (edited for visitor number)

Happy Birthday and Happy Touring

Hi I was stop #12 and I'm just stoppping in to see everyone's stops. Of course if I said stop three times in one sentence ordinarily my editor would have my head...but you get the point. Happy birthday, Elisa, I love your cake. My cakes never come with those ummm accessories for some reason. I hope you have as much fun with your stop as I had with mine.

Well, you are new to me but I'm not too knowledgeable in the m/m realm. I have a Romance Website that mainly focuses on hetero relationships...hmmm...maybe time to branch out?

Happy Birthday Elisa!

I'm glad you let us know it's your birthday so I can celebrate it together with a very dear friend of mine birthday. Now I won't ever forget your bday (>///<)

I forgot how I've got to know about your blog since I have such bad memmory but there're plenty of things to remember about your blog; all the beutiful photos you took when you traveled, books review, commercial. My favorite would be - ofcourse - Man Candy and erotic art (The Walnut is my favorite)

Thank you for bringing us all the good stuff. I'm so glad I've got to know your blog.

Much love and again, happy bday. Don't forget to look for my vgift (sorry, that's the best I could do here)

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birrthday to 1RE...

Hallöchen Elisa,

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, vor allem Gesundheit, Glück und Zufriendenheit.
(lit.translation: Happy Birthday, wish you health, luck and satisfaction :-)

Have to be honest and tell you that I haven't known you 'til today; although I might have read one of your reviews without realizing it. That's the great thing about this blog tour - new authors, new publishers and new reviewers to meet. Since I don't like reading excerpts (stoping in the middle of a story to buy it or wait 'til it's released - naah) I often rely on reviews to find out if a story holds what the blurb promisses, esp. with new-to-me authors. So I look forward to checking out your journal :-)

Have a wonderful birthday with lots of sunshine

Kathrin

I want to see your prize but too lazy to enroll for the contest. Knowing my luck, I won't ever win any prize in my life. I just don't want you to think no one want to read what you'd posted for the prize. I'm sure they're lovely to look at and dream about.. haha

Blog Following

I am a very sporadic blog follower. I follow 8 religiously, but only reading them on the weekend. Then I check several others. I have enjoyed your reviews often. I haven't read most of the top 100 gay novels that you have listed. Then again, I believe that the majority are not romantic, but more stories of life and living. I prefer a little romance and an HEA.

Happy Birthday. I hope you have the oportunity to celebrate with family and friends.

Tour # 270.

So much celebrating going on here. Happy Anniversary to the book people and a very Happy Birthday to you! I'm ashamed to admit you're new to me, but now that I've found you I'll definitely visit more often.
