This season, award winning authors Jill Shalvis, Carolyn Brown, Terry Spear, and Sarah Morgan each have Christmas romances releasing. To get readers into the holiday spirit, the authors answer the following question: What is your ‘go to’ Secret Santa gift?
Ladies, take it away!
Jill Shalvis author of One in a MillionMy go to Secret Santa gift is usually alcohol and/or a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble because though I want people to read, I don’t want to force them to read my books unless they want to. I mean let’s face it, they’re rated NC17, ya know?

ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite holiday romance yet.
The Greek's Christmas Baby is one of my favorite holiday reads.
ReplyDeleteI love gift cards.
ReplyDeleteMy fave gift for giving for an adult contemporary is still homemade pumpkin bread, which can be enjoyed anytime during the busy holidays. But I have discovered that my kids and grandkids nowadays LOVE Visa gift cards that they can be used anywhere. I'm thinking it's because they are more techy than we are or because none of them live close and we've lost touch with what their desires are...or because the economy is still bad and the extra spending money comes in handy for them to get what they need or want. All of them go to the library for reading matter these days as well due to the economy...so books are appreciated too if I know what they're "into" for reading. Regarding holiday reads, I don't have a favorite...I've read too many to count and am still reading new ones every year. :-) I love holiday reads! jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteUsually a bottle of wine or a Target gift card. Either are good for a man or a woman for Secret Santa.
