Fall Seasons of Books #GiveawayHop @ShannonMiz @Versatileer #FallSeasonsOfBooks #Fall #SeasonsOfBooks #GiveawayHop Today I'm giving one lucky winner a audio book copy of my young adult novel Player, narrated by Jeremy Gill!! Joshua Hanover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn't take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn't know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn't worth the price he's paying to be a player. Johnny might be a nerdy gamer, but not even death can stop him from protecting his kid sister. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if he has to do it in the form of a mangy Tom cat. Giveaway is open to the US and UK only. To enter, fill out the Giveaway Tools form below. The prize is awarded as a code redeemable through Audible. Do you not meet to be a member to redeem the code.

Bup Boxes - Fancy Check & Sidewalk Chalk
Fernando officially burned through all the big boxes in our Bup Box, so today he settled for a few medium‑sized mysteries.
First, he pulled out a very fancy dress he thought was a bedspread at first. It was a size small, so unfortunately Fernando couldn’t squeeze into it to model for us.
Next came a hippie outfit, complete with that incense‑vibe aesthetic. This one I passed along to a work friend.
Finally, he opened a box of sidewalk chalk which I passed on another friend with grandchildren. Nothing ever goes to waste.

Bup Boxes - Christmas Flag & Bathing Suit
My mom went back into the large unclaimed mail box from Bup Boxes and pulled three more mystery packages.
First up was a county Christmas garden flag that Fernando added to his holiday stash.
Next she pulled out a solar light with a built‑in bug zapper which will also be going into the garden
Lastly, she she opened a the bathing suit. This thing looked like it was designed for a beach‑going clown. It's very bright and loud, but it was a two piece with a matching cover.
This box is still pretty full, so be sure to check back to see what other wacky wonder we pull from it.

Amazon Mystery Box from USA Mystery Box - $5 DISCOUNT CODE !!!!!
For Labor Day, USA Mystery Box ran a buy‑one‑get‑one‑50%-off deal, so of course I grabbed two. I kept one for me and took one to my mom. The total came to about $120 for both boxes including shipping, which is a pretty great price for two full Amazon mystery boxes.
This was my mom’s first Amazon mystery box, and it was packed with interesting items. These were out top three
Eight containers of trail mix
Cute sandals
A Spider‑Man water gun
Check out everything she got in the video below. There were only a few items she didn’t keep, and those were claimed by coworkers. Nothing went to waste. If you want to grab a box for yourself, they’re usually $79.99, but right now you Get $5 off your order with my referral link. (I get $5 too — we both win!) Stay tuned because I'll be sharing the second unboxing soon!

Stag Hunt is FREE on Amazon
In ancient Britannia, the warrior who brought down the king stag was named the defender of the land. Eartha’s brother Balen has been in love with Princess Galiene since they were children. Upon the death of the High King, the tribesmen of the realm vie for the throne, and with it, the hand of the princess.
Balen is desperate to win his lady, but a rival tribesman is equally determined to keep them apart. With her brother, her dearest friend, and the country she loves hanging in the balance, Eartha must do the unthinkable to ensure her brother’s victory in the stag hunt. Sometimes true love needs a helping hand...or for blood to be spilled.
