Couple your way to a book

Written by Anne Mallory in Jaunty Post

That really should read “couplet,” but I couldn’t resist.

Last chance to win an ARC from Anne,
A drawing after dark is planned,
Who will win a book today?
Only a comment below can say!

Comments made today count in the drawing. Winner to be randomly drawn at midnight PST! Winner will receive a signed ARC of my November release, The Earl of Her Dreams.

Post a couplet - goofy, book-related or otherwise - or, as the past weeks, just comment about your day/weekend.

Couplets for The Earl of Her Dreams:

Christian seeks a stolen book,
In The Dragon’s Tale Inn he knows to look,
Kate seeks a place to hide,
Instead she finds her future mate inside.

Kate has a scar and pain that runs deep,
Christian a wretched past and promise to keep,
Stuck together in a snowed in inn,
More than healing they may find within.

I really dont know what a couplet is but if its that little ryhming thing at the bottom of your comment telling us about the contest, thats good. I wish I could be creative with words in a poetic kind of way..I could never seem to get stuff like that right.lol..I enjoy these contests and stuff that all you ladies offer.

Kate has a wicked little plan,
Which doesn’t involve a certain man,
A man she can not abide
To an roadside inn she will hide

Christian is a man with a task
He’s the Earl of Canley behind a mask
Danger looms in every shadow
Kate think he’s a cute fellow

A murderer must confess
To bring an end to this mess
Sweet kisses to be had
And that can’t be bad.

I think this poem is cute
It’s better than me playing a flute
After all I love books more
To play a flute would be a bore.

Haha, this was fun
And I’ve only just begun
I can’t stop laughing
Nor can I stop ryhming.

Ok I swear I’ll stop now haha.

With romance in the air
Will there be an heir?

(MUST BE SUNG WITH A DO-WOP BEAT)

Dukes, Dukes, Dukes and Earls, Earls, Earls,
Fall in love, love, love, with the girls, girls, girls

Again, this is my early morning, pre-caffeine brain at work!

Kate Simon runs to a roadside inn
Unbeknownst to her, there is danger within
She shares a room with Christian Black
Once they kiss, they can never go back

Okie-dokie, there’s mine. Anne, I sure have learned a thing or two about poetry the past couple of weeks. LOL!

Is the weekend over so soon?
Too many things to be done by noon
I need to get my butt in gear
So I guess I better get off here

This weekend I didn’t right,
Which in all honest is quite alright!
Once I become published, I’ll blog here,
And try mask all of my fears!

Not really talented with the words as the rest of y’all.
All I can do is hope I win this draw.

I knew I should have paid more attention in English class when we were covering poetry and other stuff. Alas, I’m like a dancer with two left feet when it comes to rhyming. I like reading what you other talented ladies come up with though.

I spent my weekend on the couch,
in a kind of, well, slouch.
With my cat on my lap
who was taking a long, long nap.

Since Kim’s revisions are finally done
It’s time for her to have some fun
So though a winner I cannot be
I’ll post this rhyming comment with glee.

Okay, my brain is mush after my 24/7 schedule for the last several weeks, but at least it rhymes.

Oh good grief, I posted my first line wrong. Instead of RIGHT it should be WRITE. Fix that mentally, would you?

((Hiding in the corner from the typo monster who is haunting me. lol.))

Well this was a great thing to wake up to! I nearly broke my finger yesterday accidentally slamming it in a door at work, but my word…this will make the healing that much sweeter.

Thanks!
