Bah Humbug to the holiday chores!

by Ashlynn Monroe

  

I call shenanigans on the amount of work awaiting me this holiday season!  Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the family, food, gifts, and memory-making but I hate to clean, cook, and shop.  Okay…maybe not shop, but I hate the mad rush for perfection.  I’m the holiday girl in the family.  I cook and plan for weeks before the big day and I shop literally all year round.  I’m the hostess with the mostest but the honorable duty is exhausting.  I started a new tradition last year.  Now I take one afternoon out of the craziness to read a good book.  This year I’m planning to switch it up and let my Kindle read to me while I relax in a nice bubble bath.  

**I hope you will take a break too, and to encourage you I’d like to give you a copy of your choice of ebook from my Decadent Publishing backlist!  I’d also like to give you a special swap package.  It includes a XL t-shirt with my tag line, sparkly ornament, heart shaped sticky corkboard (for all those gift lists), 2012 calendar magnet, small magnet, personal invitation to visit my website, signed postcard, and a pink fuzzy sticky feet computer pal, perfect for keeping you company while you shop for books.  Just comment on this blog about what you’re going to do to stay sane this holiday season and take a few “me time” moments.**

Here are the blurbs of my DP books.  I hope that if you’re going to be give e-readers this holiday season you’ll include one of my books for the reading enjoyment of the recipient.  If you have an e-reader on your gift list, I hope you’ll add one of my titles to your library.  Visit http://ashlynnmonroe.com to see my full backlist of titles.  I’d love to hear what you think at authorashlynnmonroe@gmail.com.  You can follow me on twitter @ ashlynn_monroe or like my author page on facebook, just search Author Ashlynn Monroe.
