Summer Reads Giveaway Hop: Christmas in July Giveaway!




It's Christmas in July here at The Book Life! I don't know about you guys, but this time of year I love reading books about the winter months. I guess it helps me pretend it's not so hot out...haha. So for this hop I decided I was going to get in the holiday spirit :0)

Up for grabs is a pre-order of DECKED WITH HOLLY by Marni Bates

Release Date: October 1st, 2012

Holly Dayton is about to go way out of her comfort zone. . .

Spending Christmas vacation on a cruise with her two cousins from hell isn't Holly's idea of a good time. And when in a moment of seasick-fueled desperation she lurches into an open suite--she's greeted with an eyeful of pepper spray. The culprit? A gorgeous guy calling himself Nick. But when Holly goes to make her exit, she gets the shock of her life: a corridor crammed with screaming teenage fans. Because Nick just happens to be Dominic Wyatt, drummer for ReadySet--one of the hottest bands in America.

Suddenly rumors are swirling, and Holly's face is captured on countless phones and plastered all over the Internet. But the band can't risk a scandal destroying their family-friendly image, so Dominic convinces Holly to be his fake girlfriend--just for two weeks. How bad could it be to be fauxmantically involved with one of the cutest rockstars on the planet? Holly's about to find out.

  This book sounds absolutely delightful and I completely adored Marni's debut, AWKWARD, so I'm sure this one will be a winner!


Since it's a pre-order, I'm making it International (as long as The Book Depository ships to you), which means everyone can enter! And while you wait for this one to release, might I suggest some other wonderful holiday stories?!?


Entering is simple, just look to the Rafflecopter below!
