Bitten by Books Review Staff - 2 electronic copies of the epic story “Nothing But Red”. This is not a paranormal story, but it is a book with a collection of stories that impacts women worldwide. The review team of BBB would like to spread the word about this important work and encourage each of you to purchase your own print or e-book copy of “Nothing But Red” in support of woman and ultimately humankind. About the book:
“In April 2007, a group of men pulled seventeen-year-old Du’a Khalil Aswad into a mob. They proceeded to stone and beat her to death, a supposed “honor” killing for allegedly falling in love with a man of a different faith. Several camera phones recorded the entire incident from the front row, and videos later surfaced online. One month later, popular filmmaker Joss Whedon expressed his despair and outrage at the misogyny in all cultures on a fan-run blog. “Because it’s no longer enough to be a decent person,” he wrote. “It’s no longer enough to shake our heads and make concerned grimaces at the news. True enlightened activism is the only thing that can save humanity from itself. I’ve always had a bent towards apocalyptic fiction, and I’m beginning to understand why. I look and I see the earth in flames. Her face was nothing but red.” The arts anthology Nothing But Red was conceived as a way to raise both awareness of the issues he spoke of, as well as money for the charity Equality Now.” Buy the book here:

    Holy moly! There are a ton of prizes! I’d soooo love to try Glutenada! I’ve been eyeballing that spoonfudge and more so, the gluten-free mixes (brownie and the pumpkin one). *drools* Although, that Lathers & Lights– I could do some serious damage with that. I’ve been lusting over those pumpkin scents. :D

    October 17th, 2008 at 8:41 am

  16. Bo Perkins says:

    Nice list of prizes so much to choose from But I think I would be interested in the ebook “The Chosen” by C.A. Milson and/or the Holiday Gift Basket by Bauble Bath.

    Thank you for making this contest available to everyone.

    OMG! How am I supposed to pick just one?? Lathers and Lights, Blue Raven Tea, and Things That Make Scents are some of my faves, but I think I would have to choose the Lemming Central sample box, cuz then I get to try even more etailers!

    I am looking for some idea and stumble upon your posting :) decide to wish you Thanks. Eugene

  24. pish says:

    Hmm, okay, I’ve checked out all of these websites…but being a Canuck, I thought it best not to look too closely at those that will not ship to me! :P

    It would of course, be far too easy to spend more money at Bovine Bubbles. And, like so many others here, I’m loving the looks of Lathers & Lights…mmmmm pumpkin!

    I’m also pretty sure I could find something scrumptious at Kettlepot Soap (that is one heckuva fragrance list!), or Lily Gulch Soaps (wood combs! soap dishes galore! beautiful looking scrubs!).

    Oh, and Glutenada (spoonfudge? omg!), Ugly Duckling, Lindsay’s Candles & Stuff, Chunky Butt (gotta love that name, lol), or The Ivy Keep ones would be alright, too. Hey, you said make a wishlist…and you didn’t say how long! :P

    I will be stalking you come Monday morning! Mwahahaha… : )

    October 22nd, 2008 at 10:14 am

  27. pish says:

    Hi again - I just had to add a couple to my wish list…Jojoelle, and CRATER LAKE COMPANY! omg lookit all those pumpkin scents…ohhhh pumpkin!!

    And I also had to tell you what an enabler extrordinaire you are: after checking out the Glutenada site, I *had* to order some spoonfudge. could. not. resist. :P They’re still on my wishlist, though - I think I could maybe never have enough of that gooey goodness.

    October 23rd, 2008 at 9:27 pm

  28. Pamela says:

    Hard to choose, so many wonderful offerings. Of course DEF the Glutenada…I have a daughter who is gluten free and there can NEVER be too much fudge in that girl’s diet. But the Designing Diva sounds wonderful, and the Fantasy…

    You have a fabulous treasure trove of Halloween goodies.

    October 23rd, 2008 at 9:46 pm

  29. Shari C says:

    Wow! What a list of wonderful prizes. It would not be possible to pick a favorite as there are so many fabulous body and bath products plus candles and home items I would love to have.
