Hi everybody!
Well first things first, the winner from day 13 contest is……… Libby L. whose email begins with elar. Libby, I will be contacting you sometime later this today to get your address to ship your author swag to you.
**Just a note to clarify. Unless there is a picture of a tote bag in the contest posting, you will be receiving an awesome bag of swag and not a tote. BUT if there is a tote pictured (HINT Wednesdays are a good day to check the site if you like totes), you get that AND swag!
Whew okay, now entering Thursday’s random birthday “prize by” (that’s where you get a prize for coming by and getting chosen to win) contest is easy! Today’s prize will include THREE paranormal fiction books and MORE succulent and amazing author swag pictured below.
1. Okay, here is your ONLY chance to have a say in WHAT or WHO next weeks poll will be about and which author be in it. So, if you are talking about this on other groups, fan forums etc. you will want to get all those people here to weigh in with their choices. First answer this question: What Paranormal group BESIDES only vamps or Shifters do you want to have represented. For example:
Bad Guys
Heroes
Heroines
Side Kicks
Secondary Characters
Vamps and Shifters (aka team Switzerland)
Series
Paranormal Couples
These are just some examples of categories, feel free to come up with your own.
Be SURE to list the author (s) you want to win with the category choice you make. Please pick only two categories and two authors /characters to go with them. It CAN be the same author for the categories you choose. You have through Sunday night at 11:59 pm to comment here and get your friends here to cast your informal vote. I will put all of the votes into the random number generator and pick ONE Topic for the poll. Next I will put all the authors from that selection into the NG and from this I will pick THIRTEEN authors and their characters and poll will go up sometime on Monday. Here is the direct link to this post where you can send your friends: http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=7277 So, if you want to see your favorite author/character win you have to vote here. No voting? No bitchin’ LOL vote now and maybe your favorite will slide up our poll and win!

4. Wake up Friday morning and come back here to find out who won the swag for Thursday’s contest and see what the contest is for that day! Remember Wednesdays this month are awesome tote bag swag days!!
Here’s some of the wild and whacky swag your are about to try to win.

OHHH, this is tough. I would actually like to see bad guys and series.
Off the top of my head I think of Trent from Kim Harrison’s Hollows series for bad guys and Stryker from Sherrilyn Kenyons Dark Hunter Series.
As for series, I think it should be a series with 5 or more books. I would like to see Charlaine Harris (Sookie series)or Kim Harrison’s Hollows series. That was really hard to choose just two!
I RSVP’s for Nancy Haddock’s interview in advance and I went and asked her an question about her book.

I am thinking bad guys…but can’t think of any so yes couples!
Elena and Clay from Armstrong
Different couples from Kenyons books.
Bella and Z, and the rest from the BDB
Been there, and shall go and rsvp
I think we need to honor sidekicks!!!! My favorite sidekick is Seth from Wicked Lovely. Um, hang on … he qualify as sidekick right, because in all the books, it is always about someone else?
RSVPed and RSVPed.
Series would be my choice because I love the anticipation of waiting for the next book. I think seeing Paranormal Couples would be cool too.
Kim Harrison is my #1 favorite author so I would love to see her on here. I’d like to see Stephenie Meyer on here too.
Off to meet Nancy.
RSVP’d
Definitely favorite series, mine being… ooh, this is hard. Maybe Alpha and Omega by Patricia Briggs and the Merry Gentry books by Laurell K. Hamilton.
Ooh, and I like Beet’s favorite fairy/fey poll idea. Rhys, obviously from the Merry Gentry series, and hmmm… Zee, Siebold Adelbertsmiter, from the Mercy Thompson books.
Sidekicks!! They never get any recognition!!

Series
Lora Leigh’s Breeds series
Lorie O’Clare’s The fallen Gods series
i forgot to rsvp for nancy but i’m on my way
and i rsvp for fridays
Well, I think a paranormal couple would be good, and I would have to say it would be Bones and Cat from Jeaniene Frost’s Nighthuntress novels and Wrath and Beth from J.R Ward’s Brotherhood series.
Also cool would be a secondary characters, like Bran from Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson books. And… *ponders* Rene from the Aisling Grey books by Katie MacAlister.
1. Bad Guys (well, I don’t know if he technically falls under this category or not but maybe in the early books?? I love, adore, drool over Eric from the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse novels. What is not to love about a tall, blonde, Viking Vampire?)
Sidekicks (gotta shout out for the Victoria Laurie Ghost Hunter series and her partner Gilley…a friggin laugh riot!)
2. On my way to see Nancy now (groovy)!
3. Aleady RSVP for Jeri (coolness)!
1. I had a hard time understanding what your question was, but thinking of ideas for a poll? If so, I’m thinking along maybe the
a. The Villian who can be redeemed or who you want to be redeemed (now a good side to him and forgiven!
b. Really love to hear about what the favorite couples are from like 3 series or so!
2. Yep I visited Nancy.
3. I’m all reserved for Jeri
I think the comic relief is always neglected in polls like these. Bring on the characters with a lighthearted way of lifting the tension!
Heroines - Faythe / Rachel Vincent
Bad Guys - Irial / Melissa Marr
Visited Nancy’s post.
RSVPd for tomorrow
Series: sooo many too choose from…BDB by J.R. Ward, Dark-Hunters by Sherrilyn Kenyon, Otherworld by Yasmine Galenorn
Secondary Characters: (demons)Roz & Vanzir, Otherworld by Yasmine Galenorn
(Shadows/brothers)Trez & iAm, BDB by J.R. Ward
RSVP’d for tomorrow as well.
Series
Lora Leigh’s Breed series
Hamilton’s Anita Blake and Gentry series
Anne Bishop’s Black Jewel Series
J R Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood
Already done!
one of the categorys i chose was Secondary Characters.
1. Jenks from The Hallows Series by Kim Harrison
2. Aphrodite from The House of Night Series by P.C. Cast
the second category i chose was Paranormal Couples.
1. Bella and Edward from The Twilight Series by Stephenie Myer
2. Rose and Dimitri from The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead
Sidekicks!
Simi-Sherrilyn Kenyon
Nix-Kresly Cole
And I would love to see a demons category!
Wraith-Larissa Ione
Cadeon-Kresly Cole
Definitely Paranormal Couples! Harry Dresden needs to hook up with someone.
and hmnn.. I can’t seem to think of a female. I’m reading Wicked Game, so Ciara came to mind. She’s human, though.
hmm! I’ll have to think of a female!
Though it may be a difficult one - I like the idea of a “Best Series” poll!
It would most definetly have to be the bad guys for me….
Series, totally. And I would pick the Vampire Chronicles because it is such a classic but so often overlooked in paranormal sites. Of course the author I would choose is Anne Rice, who is really quite a forerunner and like her books often times neglected to be mentioned in any regard.
2.) Went.
3.) RSVPed!
I’d love to see Fairies (hey, I have 5 tattooed on me, I’m sort of honor bound, here) & I’d nominate the D’Artigo Sisters from Yasmine Galenorn’s Otherworld series.
I’m torn between series & Spellslingers…it seems Series is gonna pull the win, in which case I’d be nominating Otherworld Series, by Yasmine Galenorn, and I’d also give nod to Nicki Styx by Terri Garey…Sherri Keynon & Laurell don’t really need my help. ;0)
But I’d sort of love to see Spellslingers get a cast (ha! yes, pun intended) in witch case (see the fun you could have with the plays on words with this one?) I’d vote for Camille D’Artigo, from Yasmine Galenorn’s Otherworld Series, with a nod to Harry Dresden, by Jim Butcher.
I would like to see secondary characters, ie:
Jenks/Hallows Series by Kim Harrison
Iris/Sisters of the Moon Series by Yasmine Galenorn
And Paranormal Couples, ie
Rachel/Ivy or Rachel/Kisten Hollows Series by Kim Harrison
Camille/Smoky or Camille/Morio/Trillian
I would like to see secondary characters, ie:
Jenks/Hallows Series by Kim Harrison
Iris/Sisters of the Moon Series by Yasmine Galenorn
And Paranormal Couples, ie
Rachel/Ivy or Rachel/Kisten Hollows Series by Kim Harrison
Camille/Smoky or Camille/Morio/Trillian Sisters of the Moon Series by Yasmine Galenorn
So many series are being named that I haven’t read yet. Edward & Bella do deserve a place in the poll - if that is the one chosen. Still thinking of other females! Can’t think of a match for Dresden. *thinks*
1. I would like to see paranormal couples - Clay and Elena, Jeremy and Jaime, Paige and Lucas - Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld series
2. RSVP’d and posted.
3. RSVP’d

I’ll see if I can get some peeps to come by. Dunno they’ll all be happy I’m back on-line.
I rsvped to all
I absolutely LOVE Yasmine Galenorn’s “Otherworld Series”!! I cannot get enough! Please put her and Camille in the polls because both would win hands down!! I cannot wait till June 2nd 2009 for “DEMON MISTRESS” to come out because Menolly is my favorite!
I vote for Yasmine Galenorn and Camille as the character under the category of witches/spellslingers!
I would like to see Maria V. Snyder’s characters Valek and Yelena from the Study series win the paranormal couples category! I love their relationship: it’s just too fun!
1.) Although it would is difficult, Yasmine’s Otherworld series and Keri Arthur’s Riley Jensen series. The other category should be couples, Yasmine’s Camille, Smoky, and Morio (and of course Trillian) and Elena and Clay from Kelley Armstrong.

Interesting trend for just listing the polls wanted without suggestions for same….
So I’m going to throw out suggestions to go with their polls since they didn’t. ;0)

Couples - Camille/Trillian/Smoky/Morio from Otherworld by Galenorn; Menolly/Nerissa from Otherworld; Nicki & Joe from Nicki Styx by Garey; Cassie & Mircea from the Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance

Series: Kate Daniels series- Ilona Andrews
Heroine: Kate Daniels- Ilona Andrews (Kate Daniels Series)
Side Kick: Derek- Ilona Andrews (Kate Daniels Series)
Bad Guys would be an awesome poll! Nothing rocks like an awesomely cool bad guy!
1.Paranormal Couples
2.Heroes
=Sherrilyn Kenyon
from Sasluvbooks
Paranormal couples: Bill/Sookie - Southern Vamp Mysteries
Series: Southern Vamp Mysteries - Charlaine Harris & The Hallows - Kim Harrison
1. Paranormal Couples: to which I would suggest Mercy/Adam from Briggs’ Mercy Thompsen series.
Sidekicks and pets
Yasmine Galenorn and Jeri REady-Smith
My vote is for heroes, and I’m definitely down for Jim Butcher - Harry Dresden.
1 Series: Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunters,J.R.Ward Black Daggar Brotherhood,Shana Abe’ Drakon(dragon Shapeshifter Series) 2 Heroines: Zoe Cyprienne Lane(Shana Abe’ Drakon Series),Beth Randall (Dark Lover/Black Daggar Brotherhood Series),Tory Kafieri (Acheron/Dark Hunter Series) From M.A.
Series…..Sherrilyn Kenyon for her Dark-Hunter series and Yasmine Galenorn for her Otherworld series
Sidekicks: Simi from the Dark-Hunter series from Sherrilyn Kenyon
Voting in the poll…finally…
I would choose Witches (you don’t have them listed, but there are some rocking awesome witches who need a shout out!)
Sidekicks! They are the best and without them our hero just wouldn’t be the same. I love Kim Harrison’s Jinks character, in fact all the pixies are awesome.
If Demons it is I have to beg to differ on the Jenna Black faorite. I like Adam best.
Series: The Dresden Files all the way…though The Hollows makes a close second.
Sidekicks: Jim the Newfie from the Aisling Grey series.
How about books that need a sequel / series? Sunshine by Robin McKinley.
Because of my love of the Argeneau series Paranormal couples get my vote.
Paranormal couples… And my favs have definitely gotta be Lilith Saintcrow’s Dante Valentine and her demon lover Japhrimel.
