I am a bad, bad girl. I forgot a very special birthday- the 2nd birthday of Chick Lit Plus! Man, I felt like such a tosser when I realized that earlier in the month. Who forgets their own blog’s birthday? I’m hoping I have a good enough excuse- the publishing of my first book! Destined to Fail became available as an eBook on October 20th, and the weeks leading up to that were crazy. Last minute edits and revisions, formatting woes, cover battles and choosing fonts. What a process! In all the craziness, I forgot that October is the anniversary month for Chick Lit Plus. But better late than never- right?
I want to give a very heartfelt thank you to everyone who has continued to make CLP a success. I can’t believe what has come from this little blog- almost 300 book reviews, dozens of author interviews and informative guest posts, plus branching out into editing and marketing. And now to be a published author- what a crazy two years this has been. The friends I have made are just the cherry on top for me. My world is now open to so many new ideas, and the support and encouragement just does not stop. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly one lucky lady.
Now on to the fun part- the giveaway! *Rubs hands together with glee* As usual, I need to tidy up my bookshelf. I give books away like they are going out of style, always pressuring my friends and family to read, read, read, but I still have some books for you! Check out all the books below I am giving away- and that includes copies of my own Destined to Fail. Yay! Check out the details and enter to win. Happy Birthday Chick Lit Plus!

I would love to be surprised. These days it is the little things that make me happy. I welcome any of the books if I were chosen.
Patti. :o)
Happy 2nd Birthday! 🙂 I think we can all forgive you for being a little late on this as you HAVE been very busy! The books all look great but my number one pick would be Little Black Dress 🙂 Enjoy celebrating!
Forgot the “why” part in all my congratulatory thoughts. Note to self: always check to make sure all questions have been answered. I’ve heard super fantastic things about Little Black Dress all around the blogging world and want to find out what it’s all about! 🙂
I would love to win all of the books including your book. I have not read any of them yet but I did read the blurps and reviews about them. They sound like great books! I think I would enjoy reading them, so if I do win I would gladly take any book offered!
Congrats on your 2nd birthday!

I’d take any of the above because I already bought Destined to Fail for my Kindle. Started reading it today as well… 🙂
Happy anniversary/birthday or whatever you want to call it!
I would be grateful for either of the first 3 listed above! I’ve already read Little Black Dress and I already have your book on my e-reader!!!
Thanks 🙂
Happy Birthday Chick Lit and congrats on your book! I would like to win a copy of Destined to fail. I bought the Ebook and it was so great that it inspired me to start writing a book I have been thinking about for years. Plus the cover is beautiful and would look great on my bookshelf. 😉
Happy birthday for the website. Many congrats on your book. May it be the first of a long life as an author for you :).
As for the books…well, I love chick-lit/fantasy books, so “Little Black Dress” would be my first choice. That, and the fact that I have an entire collection of those- people joke that I should consider becoming a “professional widow”. I’m also very curious about your book…will check it out as soon as possible.
Well, keep up the good work. Checking your website makes my otherwise pretty dull scientist-in-training life very exciting.
Happy Second Bday and Congrats on your first novel! I’ve only read Little Black Dress by Susan Mcbride and would be happy to read any of the other authors books as I have yet to read any of them! Thank you so much for this giveaway:)
I would love to win a copy of ON FOLLY BEACH,THE LIES WE TOLD,THE SUMMER WE CAME TO LIFE. I love to read and these books sound like something I would love!
Happy birthday Chic Lit Plus! Thanks for the giveaways!
I don’t need a book, just wanted to say CONGRATS on the website’s birthday and your new book!! I know how hard you’ve been working- great job!
Love ya girl!
Author
Aw, thank you Steph! 🙂
Happy Birthday CLP!!!!! What a wonderful giveaway you are offering!!! Such great books… I don’t think I could pick one that’s better than another! They all sound amazing!!!
Thank you CLP for all you do!! I love being a part of your blog tours and couldn’t imagine it any other way! You’re the best!! 🙂 Congrats on all of your accomplishments as well! You should be very proud. 😉
Happy Birthday!! I would love to win a copy of your book, Destined to Fail. Congrats on your book! My second choice would be Little Black Dress.
Thanks for the chance!
I would like to win any of the books except Little Black Dress because I love to read but I already read that.
Happy birthday! I am so happy for your success. I would like to win On Folley Beach because I have been dying to do something for Karen White. I am also interested in the Little Black Dress by Susan McBride. I would also love a chance to read your book.
Thanks,
Sam
Happy Birthday to Chick Lit Plus and congrats on your debut!
I would love to win an ebook copy of your first novel. Well, I would like to read The Lies We Told by Diane Chamberlain, Full Moon Bride by Shobhan Bantwal and Little Black Dress by Susan McBride as well (I’ve already read The Summer We Came to Life and On Folly Beach and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a wonderful and compelling story to read) but I think the shipping would be a little bit problematic since I live in Europe.
Thanks in advance!
Happy Birthday and Congrats on the success of your very own book!! I would love to win any book listed since I love to read pretty much everything! Thanks for the contest and I wish you the best of luck and continued success!!
I’ve heard phenomenal things about Diana chamberlain but never read anything from her!!! But I’d be happy to read any of these books!!!
Thanks Samantha and happy 2nd birthday to chick lit plus!!!
Happy 2nd Birthday! How exciting.
The Lies We Told and Little Black Dress sound amazing.
I love reading about sisters. There’s such a thrill and passion about having a sister and what that relationship becomes as an adult. It may be because I don’t have one and always wished I did. 🙂
Thanks for such a great giveaway.
Happy Birthday:)
Little Black Dress would be my choice.
Huge congrats, Samantha! I adore your blog, reviews, and am so grateful for having your help in HOLLYWOOD ENDING’s ebook release blog tour! Wishing you many, many more years of happy publishing & blogging!
Oops! Forgot to mention that I’d love to win any of the books up for grabs, but especially Little Black Dress.
Happy anniversary!! How excited!
I would love to read Little Black Dress or Full Moon Bride.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Lindsay
Happy Anniversary! Congrats!
Would love to read any of the books, especially Little Black Dress or The Lies We Told.
Happy 2nd Birthday! All of the books sound great! (I already have “Little Black Dress”) “The Summer We Came to Life” by Deborah Cloyed sounded really good based on the Amazon description. The other books also sound very interesting! Thanks for the giveaway!

CONGRATULATIONS! I’m most excited to hopefully receive your debut novel! Any of the other other books would be an added bonus! Thanks! Cindy
Happy second birthday — and best wishes for many more.
If I could pick one book to read… it would be LITTLE BLACK DRESS, because nothing gets me like a story about sisters. Also, I have already read and reviewed the SUMMER WE CAME TO LIFE and DESTINED TO FAIL (both excellent debut novels). But I would also be up for any of the others.
A million congratulations, and keep up the great work!
I would love to read Little Black Dress because I’ve been wanting it for a while love stories where the person goes home to find everything’s not what it seemed. Love the cake picture, it looks similar to my wedding cake! I got the pink cake past the groom 😉
Happy second birthday! Thank you for this giveaway! I’d love to win any of the books, but especially Little Black Dress.
Happy birthday . Hope i’m not too late too enter . I would love to read the lies we told as have heard good reviews about it .
Thank you so much!!!!! Happy Birthday!! I can’t wait to read your new book!
