How on earth can it be July 2018?! It feels like the year only just begun. Well, one good thing about the seasons’ speedy roll is that since it’s the first Friday of a new month already, it’s also time for another giveaway time here at evbishop.com.

This month’s giveaway: Another super fun prize celebrating summer! One lucky winner will receive a signed copy of Hook, Line & Sinker,  a soft, cheery towel to stretch out on or roll behind your head in your comfy chair, and a fabulous-dahling pineapple drinking glass (because we all need something fancy for our favorite fruity beverages!) (Yes, this is similar to last month’s giveaway, just with a different book and a new color scheme. What can I say? I really, really love pineapples, LOL.)

How to enter for your chance to win: Comment/reply to this post. Easy-peasy, right? (And fun! 😄) Super sadly, I won’t be able to respond to everyone’s comment individually because I won’t, GASP!, have Internet for most of the month, but I will enjoy each one and like them whenever I get a chance, so you’ll know you’re entered.

COMMENT SUGGESTION: Where is your favorite place to read? For me, reading is like eating green eggs and ham, I love it, I do it, wherever I am. 😄 (Beaches do have a special allure though, and couches with blankets on dark winter nights.)

(You can, of course, add anything else you want, so long as it’s appropriate for all ages. 🙂 🙂 )

WHEN DOES THIS MONTH’S GIVEAWAY CLOSE? Normally every 1st Friday Fun winner is chosen on the 15th, but I’m going to be camping around the province, so we’ll keep this one open until July 31st! Please share this post because the more that play, the merrier, right?

 

P.S. A huge congrats to last month’s (June 2018) lucky winner: Judy Pflueger! 

P.P.S. Haven’t taken part in Friday Fun here at evbishop.com before? Here’s the nitty-gritty.

 All you have to do is show up here on the first Friday of every month and follow the very easy directions, and you’ll be entered for a chance to win. At the end of each giveaway, a winner will be chosen at random and contacted for his/her mailing address and the goodies will go in the post.

Good luck and thanks for stopping in! I hope you have a very fun Friday and wish you wonderful  book adventures in July!

Whoohoo, happy June, everybody! And what a lovely coincidence  . . . It’s not only June 1st, but it’s the first Friday of the month, which means it’s giveaway time here at evbishop.com.

This month’s giveaway: A super fun prize that just shouts summer! (Yes, admittedly it was inspired by wishful thinking. It is very chilly and rainy here this late spring, summer-nowhere-in-sight evening!) Anyway, one lucky winner will receive a signed copy of Spoons—which is a perfect summer getaway if I do say so myself 😉—a soft, cheery towel to stretch out on or roll behind your head in your comfy chair, and a fabulous-dahling pineapple drinking glass (because we all need something fancy for our favorite fruity beverages!)

How to enter for your chance to win: Comment/reply to this blog post. Seriously. That’s it!

Can’t think of something to say . . . here I’ll help you!

COMMENT SUGGESTION: Since Summer is tied only with Winter, Spring and Fall for being the best season for reading, how about you share an author whose books you love a lot? (And, of course, you can say anything else you want, so long as it’s appropriate for all ages. 🙂 🙂 ) When this month’s giveaway closes, I’ll make a list of all the recommendations and post it for us all to enjoy and benefit from!

Hello and happy Friday – the 1st Friday of lovely April 2018 to be exact!

To celebrate the (soon, please, pretty please!) arrival of spring, we have a lovely, cheery giveaway for this month’s 1st Friday Fun.

What is 1st Friday Fun you ask?

Every 1st Friday of the month I’ll put together some form of themed giveaway, sometimes related to my books, sometimes fitting with River’s Sigh B & B themes, sometimes something more generic–but still super fun! 🙂 🙂

All you have to do is show up and follow the “comment suggestion” on the Giveaway’s thread and you’ll be entered for a chance to win. Each giveaway will be open until the 15th of the month, then a winner will be chosen at random and contacted for his/her mailing address and the goodies will go in the post.

Super simple and super fun, hey? (Have I said it’s fun enough times? LOL.)  I hope you’ll play and I hope you’ll spread the word/share so more people can get in on the . . . fun. 😉

TODAY’S GIVEAWAY: A sweet twine-dispensing tin (that I covet and don’t want to part with, LOL), a little message pad with a very good reminder/motto for life 🙂, a signed copy of HOOK, LINE & SINKER, 3 or 4 River’s Sigh B & B book charms and minty lip-soothing balm from yours truly!

COMMENT SUGGESTION: What’s your favourite flower? (And, of course, you can say anything else you want, so long as it’s appropriate for all ages. 🙂 🙂 )

***GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED! Holly Stover is our fabulous winner! 🙂 Congrats, Holly!

Next 1st Friday Fun – May 4th, 2018! See you then! 🙂 ***

Hello and happy Friday – the 1st Friday of a new month to be exact!

To celebrate the march of March, I thought it would be fun to kick off a brand new, super fun tradition here at evbishop.com, so I’m announcing – *Drum roll, please!* – 1st Friday Fun!

What is 1st Friday Fun you ask?

Every 1st Friday of the month I’ll put together some form of themed giveaway, sometimes related to my books, sometimes fitting with River’s Sigh B & B themes, sometimes something more generic (but still super fun!). 🙂 🙂

All you have to do is show up and follow the “comment suggestion” on the Giveaway’s thread and you’ll be entered for a chance to win. Each giveaway will be open until the 15th of the month, then a winner will be chosen at random and contacted for his/her mailing address and the goodies will go in the post.

Super simple and super fun, hey?  I hope you’ll play and I hope you’ll spread the word/share so more people can get in on the fun.

TODAY’S GIVEAWAY: A small painting to lose yourself in and remind you to relax, ahhhh… A signed proof copy of SILVER BELLS, River’s Sigh B & B book charms and minty lip-soothing balm from yours truly!

COMMENT SUGGESTION: Can you build your own campfire or do you prefer to have someone else do it for you? (And, of course, you can say anything else you want, so long as it’s appropriate for all ages. 🙂 🙂 )

 

Good luck! I look forward to hearing all about your fire building prowess – or failures!

Wishing you a very fun Friday,

🙂 Ev

P.S. Sadly, cupcakes, especially ones as deliciously decadent as the one in the Friday Fun picture above, don’t travel well in the mail. Or that’s my excuse for hoarding those types of goodies for myself, anyway. 😉 You’ll have to buy your own sweets.  🙂

***March 16, 2018 Update*** WE HAVE A WINNER!

Lucky Michelle Pierce will be receiving our March 1st Friday Fun goodies in the mail very soon!

It was super fun to have so many of you come out and share whether you have mad fire building skills (or the opposite of that, LOL!) Please join us for April’s 1st Friday Fun on April 6th, for a chance to win another super fun T.B.A. prize!
